Usually we had drained enough beers to pee an end to it. Then again … that was camping in the woods, not in the backyard.

You had no choice but to pour a heavy smoked whisky (t.ex. Laphroaig) and wait it out.

laparoscopically, not open

In Europe that’s the way they always do it unless there is a good reason for open surgery. One side I needed a lot of stitching before reinforcing and that could only be done ‘open’

I’ve now had both versions: Open in march and Laparoscopy just 2 days ago. In a day I walked around normal, and that’s my pitfall … taking it slow. I’m not good at that.

The choice is mostly based on severity. If I stood up, the left side bulged out quite a lot so it had to be done open. Rightside wasn’t visible (yet) and so it was Laparoscopy which is a lot easier on your body. Although … the pain in my shoulders (The dioxide gas they blow in searches a way out) was very intense but lasted less than a day. The pain after open surgery lasts for days.

My phone died fried

ftfy ;)

Sounds like hairpin nat issue.

Yes, dolly will be missed. It’s not my kind of music, but she was a great human being.

She never bragged about it, but she gives away 3 million books per month for free. 332 million books so far over multiple countries. The Dollywood Foundation offers scholarships to encouraging educational advancement.

just to name a few. Safe to say she helped quite a few to progress in life.

Well, when is a name officially changed? Just now only the U.S. federal government entities must use The name “Lake America”. Nobody else has to.

Wow … three different versions just to please one narcissist while acting to the rest of the world like you did not. Good job! /s Just for once, take a stand! In your own words :

Google is under no legal obligation to follow the executive order, as presidential directives carry no legal weight over private corporations.

Yes it sucks. Yes it’s hard

no, it’s different but in the end often refreshing.

I needed a new sports watch and Garmin is like THE runners brand. I went for Polar for being European and subjected to GDPR. It took very little time to adjust to it and now, I love it! Can’t see me ever going back.

Don’t speed while you’re driving large vehicles ,because it’s more dangerous .

FTFY

From the multi post and responses I get the feeling your fit is (mostly) with the F-150. Other than that, It seems we took our stands and I don’t think this discussion is going anywhere.

I’m jealous. I hope some day the EU leaders will grow a spine too.

Well…I don’t.

You get ‘punishment’ for the act, not the means/method. Stabbed to death or shot dead is -for the law- the same wrong doing. Same goes for speeding. You broke the speed limit, the tool you used is irrelevant. So when an object -high-hooded truck- is a risk for the public, then make them illegal. Set limits to dimensions.

Don’t get me wrong, i’m not in favor of high-hooded trucks, they ARE a bigger risk, they ARE ridiculous, they ARE waste of natural resources, they ARE 9/10 a compensation of some form and in towns they ARE unpractical sized, but violations any driver makes is just that violation. It has no relation to the vehicle itself.

SUV vs a bicycle

I think you are either just angry or jealous at SUV’s. In every reaction -to me and anyone else- you only keep using extremes to defend your point.

But how is t.ex. a builder gonna bring stuff to build whatever he needs to build? Hook up a trailer to his tricycle ?

Some countries they are related to your wealth/income. I think that’s most fair

own data and hardware.

As do I. I truly believe that’s a requirement in order to be able to say you have backups

a different continent

Impressive. I thought I had it good with my backup’s two countries away (700Km, bird flight). But I do realize it could still be you live just a few meters apart ;)

To me backups in the cloud are no backups. I could never physically get to the disk and someone else controls my account.

My 1st backups go to a NAS (with encrypted raid disks) in my garage that is 35 meters away from my house. The 2nd backup are encrypted files (encrypted disks are not practical, it’s a challenge after power-dips etc) to a storage at my daughters place. That second option goes via my own vpn which also gives me the opportunity to go out on the internet there (convenient for some tv shows my wife wanna see)

I read one that gave the best response possible :

You come and you pay. You’ll get an action code for your followers to book at us with a discount. When 100 of your thousands of followers have visited us and paid their tabs, I’ll refund you your whole stay.

(never heard of them again)

what is it they have there? oil, lithium or under-aged females?
