Somebody is making soda cans out of $10/sq inch material?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Transparent soda cans??? No. Not natural.

But can it be recycled?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some cool photos of atomic bomb tests, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You saw that list of expensive crap tommy linked to last week? I'm sure someone will, more than that one linked to.

My brain will take some evoluting before it can wrap itself around that development.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I messed my knee up good in June (I didn't do anything special, it just decided to go FUBAR). Because of my move, I couldn't stay off it the way I was supposed to. There was tons of going up and down stairs 'til the end of July. I've tried to keep mostly off it since and that's partly why my move has been so traumatic. Not only do I not have a car but I can't even bike or walk very far. I was looking forward to taking daily walks with my dad and building up fitness again.

I haven't yet seen the doc and gotten an assessment of my MRI but my dad invited me to take a walk today. I tried to find something nearby to go to that would be about 1 mi total walk. We were talking so I didn't pay attn to where we should go so we actually walked more like 1.5 mi. The knee feels about the same right now so that's good. My fingers are fat as sausages from all the blood rushing to them. While I don't like that feeling, it's good because I normally have such circulation problems in my arms. Anything that drives more blood there is good. Now having a cold soda and catching up with boards, email.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Spidra -- I had a friend with a serious RSI ( as in she was told not to use her arms for 6 months or she might lose all use of them ). She was supposed to walk a lot ( no knee problems ) to increase her circulation. While she was walking , she was told to lift her arms over her head every so often. That was to keep the blood from pooling in her fingers and improve her circulation.

Huh. Well, the lifting above my head isn't so great in my case because the main kind of RSI I've got is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I start to lose circulation to my arms when I even have my arm partially raised. OTOH, I need to stretch that stuff sometime or I'll lose mobility.

I definitely want to keep cardiovascular exercise up. It's just that the knee has been complicating it all. I have some sort of popliteal cyst in it. I've done some swimming since coming here and some short bike rides. But I look forward to getting the all clear on the knee so I can get back to regular and daily cardiovascular exercise.

I'm trying to get settled enough here that I can make myself do daily PT as well.
