Two things can be true at the same time. It's true that the riots are completely unacceptable, and a bunch of people taking part in them should be arrested and/or deported. Also true is that Los Angeles is a huge sprawling city and unless you happen to be in a few blocks of downtown, it's business as usual and has no impact on your day-to-day life.

This was true of Seattle in 2020. All the bullshite happened on 5-10 blocks.

Same is prob true in LA. That being said, frick anyone trying to downplay the optics. If its not as bad as conservatives are making it, then the silent majority of protestors need to nutt up and stop their folks. Where is everyone condemning the violence and looting?

ETA: And how dumb are the democrats? For voters they are OVERWHELMINGLY on the wrong side of the fence(pun intended). If this keeps up or escalates, Vance is going to dance into the Whitehouse.

I wish all that was wrong was a rotator cuff.

According to my surgeon the procedure I had at Tulane in the 90s is not utilized anymore due to long term degenerative issues which is where I am now.

I have lost significant range of motion due to arthritis and bone spurs. I have very little soft tissue in the joint due to the tension and pressure created by the original procedure. This has created a situation where there is no space between the ball and socket so it doesn’t rotate freely like a normal shoulder joint. This has also caused the rim of the socket to become thin and micro fractures to occur and heal and refracture and heal.

The real world result of all this is that any activity, swimming, golf, throwing a ball, painting a room, even casting a fishing pole for an afternoon is going to cause 2-3 days of significant pain. I’m only 40 but the older I get the worse the pain gets and the longer it takes to pass.

Original surgery in high school. Pins inserted

25 years later shoulder is trash. Shots are ineffective now. Chronic pain.

New joint going in. How bad is this gonna suck.?

Not that it matters a whole lot because I’m out of options

Lake houses are underrated

I don’t hate the beach but we’ve done the lake house thing a couple times now and none of my crew talk about going to the beach anymore.

Walking in and out off the boat and swimming off the dock has been the ticket.

Friend of the family played for Tulane. He ate 6 times a day to stay at 300+ during the season. It was the only part of football he complained about. Hes been out for two years and has lost 75-80 lbs.

I wouldn’t go 100 meters from the shore in that thing much less 100 meters deep

3000 meters deep?


Shhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I am anti field sobriety tests. I don’t have an issue with breathalyzers and such but field sobriety tests are ridiculous. There are 100 different factors that can skew some hard legs interpretations of your performance.

A good lawyer can shred almost all of it if you have the money to fight it.

The few times I’ve used one of those things I boil the water like a mother fricker then let it get back to room temp. I’ve heard too many of these type shits.

Somehow that is exactly what I thought
