At my gym, the trainer mentioned hot water can worsen swelling in fresh injuries. Cold therapy is better for sudden muscle tension. I use an ice pack on stiff shoulders for 10 minutes. Heat is better for old, recurring aches.

Saved eighty bucks, good for you. Honestly though, it's just a blender. Feels like we're treating these volunteer fixes like some major revolution. Most stuff nowadays is built to be tossed, not fixed. What percentage of broken things can these cafes actually handle? It's a nice little community band-aid, but it doesn't address the actual problem of manufacturing disposable junk. Feels like patting ourselves on the back for a tiny win while the system stays broken.
