The comic as a whole is making fun of how meta software developers get about the user experience, seeking to name all the different types of interactions a user can have with an app or webpage. This comic is massive for me on my desktop (chrome); I wonder if this is a joke about bad UX or if it is a genuine error? Fwacer (talk) 18:50, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

It's not this big on xkcd.com. Did it start this big and got fixed on the original site? Update: replaced with the image from xkcd.com which was much smaller. Cgrimes85 (talk) 18:55, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Looks like it is fixed now, but yes it was also that big on xkcd.com initially. Fwacer (talk) 19:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
It's bad U[even more unprintable glyph]. 172.68.226.114 08:27, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

To me, it comes across as a hyperbolic play on the common confusion between the meaning of UI and UX. [1] Ahiijny (talk) 19:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

It makes sense that it would be alpha and omega, but I originally thought it was the "proportional" symbol. I only ask because alpha is lowercase and omega is uppercase, although perhaps this was to avoid confusion with the Latin "A". Cgrimes85 (talk) 19:13, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Concerning the lowercase/uppercase difference, since alpha is the beginning and omega is the end, then consider that in the beginning we are born little and then grow up - we start out as lowercase and end up as uppercase. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 19:30, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

This is a joke on integration, yes?172.69.68.129 19:33, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice" -- I guess the big in the comic being about the arc of the moral universe can reference the fight against segregation and thus for integration...
I meant mathematical integration...

I'm happy with the explanations I just added for everything but "Life's experience of time" -- does anyone know what that phrase is from? 172.68.133.54 05:48, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

I thought it was made by a U[unprintable glyph] designer. 172.68.226.64 07:40, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

No UK - well that is about par 141.101.107.240 20:45, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

On what level are those idiots who say "user doesn't need this setting, it would only confuse him"? -- Hkmaly (talk) 22:20, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

UG2 - user second-guessing. 172.68.142.197 06:27, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Why has Randall chosen this particular set of characters? Why Z? Why alpha and omega - the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, used in the bible quote "i am the alpha and omega" i.e. the beginning and the end, but what link with the subject? Or is it just a sequence of increasingly improbable characters from latin through Greek, then glyphs then unprintable glyphs..? 108.162.229.82 07:34, 26 April 2019 (UTC) Dancergraham

UX comes after UI in the alphabet, and so Randall first extended that to the last letter of the Latin alphabet, then Greek. Infinity then also makes sense, but I don't know about the bullet. Oliphaunt (talk) 09:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
Other than being the last letter of the Latin alphabet, I can't come up with any other meaning for "Z" to represent something in psychology. As for the remaining symbols, I think alpha might represent the "a" in actualization or the beginning of the user's awareness or life because alpha represents beginning. Since Omega means the end, this likely represents the end of the user's life, which determines the length of the arc of their life. I believe the infinity symbol is a reference to how time looks to the typical life of a user, since it extends well before and after a user's life. Lastly, I think the black circle might represent a view of morality as either a black hole or a dark subject. This is just my impressions. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 13:31, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
I did think about "Z" representing Zen, but I'm not sure how that connects with psychology. Ianrbibtitlht (talk) 13:57, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
Zychology...162.158.91.95 14:29, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


My initial thought was that the black circle represents the "black point message" that crashed apps like whatsapp a while ago. I never saw it personally but Tom Scott did a video on it last year. It might be a commentary on how understanding of the universe's moral arc could be considered untouchable/unobtainable. Blik (talk) 14:30, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

I took the black circle as a Black Hole - that changes the arc of everything in the Universe! John.Adriaan (talk) 02:14, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hmm. It looks like UY got skipped. The study of the user's motivation and goals. Like UI and UX, it's a real thing. But that's really the job of concept or marketing.

Pain Absolve-RX Review

Oftentimes, people with shoulder pain Pain Absolve-RX use anti-inflammatory medicines or paracetamol. Some use heat and ice to minimize the pain. Cortisone is also used to reduce inflammation. There are some cases that surgery may be necessitated if tendons or ligaments are affected. Standard treatment methods have their drawbacks too. Some simply perform to treat symptoms, while some leave negative effects that only aggravate the problem. Surgery, particularly, does not promise relief and is also hazardous. There are other options offered that are safe and even make highly effective treatments for shoulder pain. For people who are searching for an alternative to cortisone, people can check out Sarapin. Or if they opt for holistic treatment, chiropractic is the way to go.

Sarapin is a pitcher plant distillate that possesses the effectiveness of cortisone but has a lot fewer negative effects. It works by stopping the pain signals in the nerves without affecting the other nerve functions or motor functions. Earlier study showed that this natural extract can lessen pain without any changes in skin sensations and it does not affect motor nerves. In toxicity assessments, it was seen to be of no hazard.

Going to your chiropractor is another solution. Chiropractic also can be really helpful in easing shoulder problems. Not only spinal problems can chiropractors address, they are also qualified to correct extremities which include shoulders. A misaligned shoulder joint is a typical reason why people experience shoulder pain. The muscles and ligaments are pulled differently, resulting in muscle spasms, inflammation, and pain. Treating the shoulder along with neck and upper back can help minimize the pain. Complemented with ergonomics and shoulder exercises will give more desirable outcomes.

Pain Absolve-RX Review

CFA supplements also reduce inflammation Pain Absolve-RX associated with chronic joint pain.

In fact, many patients choose to get rid of their prescription pain killers and replace them with CFA supplements. Whether used alone or in combination with another therapy, Cetylated Fatty Acids has been shown to provide relief in 100% of the people who used them in clinical trials. Another benefit for using Cetylated Fatty Acids is that there have been no reported side effects when used alone or in combination with another treatment. Because CFA supplements are available over the counter, you won't need to see a doctor to take advantage of Cetylated Fatty Acids.

At any one point in time, approximately 1% of the US population is dealing with sciatic pain from a herniated disc. This pain tends to be severe and burning and goes down one of the lower extremities as a result of a pinched nerve. Typically this is from a herniated disc and sometimes results in a need for surgery. What are the steps involved with achieving pain relief and avoiding surgery? The first step is not to panic. It's a very common situation and if you talk to any of your friends they probably have been dealing with a similar issue at some point in life. So the first thing to do is to understand that it's very common.

The second thing to do is to make an appointment with the chiropractor or a pain management doctor to get some pain relief. Chiropractic treatment has been shown to work well for acute back pain as well as sciatica. Treatments may include spinal manipulation or spinal decompression therapy as well along with physical rehabilitation exercises. This may help substantially, but remember that chiropractors do not prescribe medication. So at some point with typically bad symptoms from sciatica the patient will need medication. Either your family practice doctor or pain management doctor can prescribe these which may include muscle relaxers and possibly a short term course of narcotic medication.

In conclusion, applying these 5 keys to success by The Longevity Blueprint being healthy will, ultimately generate energy and well-being for your mind, body and spirit. How to be successful with a lifestyle lift is about being complete as a whole person, where you have money, energy, and well-being to enjoy what life has to offer. Your personal and professional life will absolutely benefit and prosper.Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. ~Kahlil Gibran.The critical and necessary balance of life can be summed up in the above quote; a blend of both reason and passion achieves for us the dynamic, pliable life - a narrow way not so personally confining or destructive. It's an expansive yet safe life.

And it's here that we find the introverted thinker and the extroverted feeler within each of us pitted against the self - for each of us has qualities and personality traits of both the introverted thinker and extroverted feeler. The reasonable person within us is situationally introverted and thinking; the passionate person within us is situationally extroverted and feeling. Both moods are required, at their time. The key to life is picking the right blend of reason and passion for the right time.As we negotiate life between the poles of reason and passion we note our results and mature accordingly - this is the hope. Neither one can hold sway for too long. We'd be dogmatic, either way, if we did.

It has been long held in my own train of thought: what if we could achieve the perfect blend of introversion and thinking, and extroversion and feeling - perfectly attuned at holding reason and passion at arms length for selective use - and never abuse them? Using either or both according to the given situation must be about self-mastery.For the person advancing on the frontier of maturity and a continuing place regarding God's best for them, this is not an unworthy goal.The balance of wisdom dictates a gentle blend of both reason and passion in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.You begin to see how knowing the answers to those questions, rather than simply following someone's prescribed "formula for success" has true potential for creating a successful, balanced life.

Cerisea Medica Review

Pain Management MD Curriculum A Cerisea Medica physician trained in pain management will have completed four years of undergraduate study and four years of medical school studying anatomy and physiology and pharmacology with hands-on experience. The graduate will have a doctorate degree in anesthesiology, physical rehabilitation or psychiatry and neurology and have spent one to two years residency with a possible several years of fellowship training in a specific area of pain management.

Pain management covers a broad range of specialties including internal medicine, orthopedic surgery, psychiatry, neurology, neurological surgery and physiatry, as all of these fields are pertinent in the whole approach treatment of pain. Once a physician has dedicated himself to the practice of pain medicine, there are supporting organizations such as the American Academy of Pain Management and statewide organizations that provide funding for research and assistance with news and technology.

Types of Pain A pain management physician covers a broad area of study, with every part of the body subject to pain. Chronic pain is persistent pain that lasts longer than an acute injury - such as a muscle strain, infection or surgical site - would normally last. There is also pain that occurs as a result of a medical condition such as cancer, arthritis, scoliosis, osteoporosis or degenerative disc disease, as well as pain that seems to have no evidence of previous injury or medical condition. The pain can come in the form of headaches, back pain, and referred pain in which the injury affects nerves that affect other parts of the body such as the arms in a neck condition or the legs in the case of a lower back nerve issue.
