  1. In terms of broken bones I guess that would make six times.
  2. After re-avulsing my Achilles in September while beginning weight bearing, I started to ween out of the walking boot in early January (already a little longer than I clinically needed to out of precaution). After a few days I saw bruising and a lot of swelling...I sent pictures to the doctor, saw my physical therapist, and he determined it was a midfoot sprain; unexpected but not totally crazy given how long I was in the boot. I went back into the boot for another week or so, then began the weaning from the beginning (an hour a day at a time)...As I weaned I continued to see residual swelling, which my PT said would be expected, and that as long as I didn't see any more bruising I should be good to proceed. That brings the timeline into focus two weeks ago, when I worked my way up to being completely free of the boot - residual swelling, but I hadn't seen more bruising in that time, so I wasn't concerned. Today my ortho took an x-ray and determined I had developed Charcot foot - a rare condition for people with neuropathy (primarily due to diabetes, though not in my case) and that four of my metatarsal bones were broken. So...Back into the boot for two months! I am allowed to walk on it at least, but it is certainly not fun to be that your foot is essentially collapsing in on itself.
  3. That was pretty good, it rules that Denis decided to follow Nolan's footsteps and charm studios into letting him make arthouse popcorn flicks. And even though there are a lot of differences from the book, all of the differences stay true to the essence of the source material - almost like Herbert got a better editor five plus decades ago (and maybe did less shrooms). Just ordered a copy of Messiah so I can read that ASAP.
  4. I only watched clips but at one point he was openly taunting them over the many things they have supported and then backed away from, which was pretty damn funny!
  5. The new Rivian models announced today look absolutely beautiful. I don’t really know much about cars or Rivian’s quality but goddamn this design rules.
  6. You can't even articulate if a ruling for Colorado would have been good for Democrats, so how can you say its naive to point out that it's bad to give them an even easier path? Again, no one said Democrats 'playing by the rules' will prevent Republicans from doing what they do.
  7. No one said it would be preventative, and I think it is far more naive to give bad faith actors even more leverage.
  8. Do you honestly think a ruling in favor of Colorado would benefit Democrats in the long run?
  9. And ruling to the contrary would do nothing to meaningfully prevent Trump from potentially winning, so how is making it easier for the GOP a worthwhile give and take?
  10. And the ability to do so could be easily abused with little to no recourse. You want to give Republicans that kind of power?
  11. In how many of those instances is a unilateral decision being made against voters? If a candidate meets all of the criteria to be listed, how is it good for elected officials to override those criteria with near impunity?
  12. Because there is a significant difference between divergent voting systems and unilateral decisions made by the individual state secretaries/courts.
  13. How does the combat feel in Remake/Rebirth? I only played XVI for like 3 hours because the enemies felt like absurd damage sponges, and the combat really wasn’t fun as a result. Do these games have the same thing going on?
  14. I've heard the strip clubs there are absolutely incredible.
  15. Pizza Boy and Ever Grain are always stops anytime we travel through the area - it is indeed quite nice.
  16. One of the best subs I've had in recent memory was the Italian from Potbelly; I had it on the train from DC while I was stoned out of my mind. Potbelly is like the number one chain I honestly yearn for.
  17. By stacking the administrative state with people who are willing to do it...Project 2025 isn't about electing conservative politicians or stacking the judiciary, it's about making sure that even the OMB and SSA are staffed with ghouls.
  18. Wordle 976 2/6* ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  19. Anya Taylor-Joy confirms internet rumors about 'Dune 2' role EW.COM Yes, Anya Taylor-Joy is in 'Dune: Part Two.' The 'Furiosa' star made a surprise appearance at the London premiere. I was wondering how they would make that work! Interested to see how it translates to the screen.
