I was born with a hemi vertebrae and developed scoliosis young. I had surgery at 9 and they fused my L4-S1 and placed a Herrington rod.

I've been pretty lucky that I'm not very limited in what I do (climb, dancing, yoga). But I also work in a profession where I'm sitting at a computer most of the day (engineer) and the pain/inflammation can get so bad it's debilitating...it can make me angry or short and I don't have energy to go out or do anything. Most doctors recommend PT which IMO doesn't help.

Seems like you probably deal with a lot more pain than I do. Any legitimate tips on managing it?

Do you have any concerns with your project and the effects over population are having on the finite resources of this planet?

What are your thoughts on solar? We could be going a long way by subsidizing the cost and providing homes with solar to generate their own power and feed excess back into the grid.

It seems like such a obvious decision to put subsidies towards actual clean power like solar/thermal and move away from nuclear and coal which can have terrible impacts on our planet.
