Reminds me of an article about fighter pilot candidate identification and training I read years ago. They mentioned weeding out guys with NAFOD: no apparent fear of death. Those are the guys that cost you a lot of money in airplane insurance deductibles.

Stupid question: does the military really carry insurance on its fighter planes?

It's my understanding that government property is not insured in general. There are no insurance companies big enough to take such risks and governments don't want to spend money on paying premiums when much of the properties are priceless.

Did they have to surgically put it back in, did you get a labrum tear as well?

They had to put me under, but I never had surgery.

Possibly I should have, but I was an idiot in my mid-20s at the time. No idea about a labrum tear, but it popped out a couple of times in the few years after I originally did it, never as bad though.

Ouch. Lotta times people get a SLAP lesion from a shoulder dislocation and it's never quite the same after cause the labrum is torn, so you'll feel pain and weird clunking around in the joint since the edges of the labrum can fold under the ball of the humerus and aren't quite even anymore. Ok that's all the info I can add :D

drat, well, it definitely clunks around a bit and looks like it's a different shape to the other side. I'm super paranoid about popping it out again as well, even though it's been more than a decade since that happened.

I've got a little time off coming up, I might discuss it with my doctor and see if there's anything I can do to improve it.

They can surgically trim down the labrum, and in some cases reduce tendons in the rotator cuff to make it fit tighter, but you'll get prescribed physical therapy first. There you'll work on strengthening the rotator cuff, which will effectively tighten the bond between your humerus and your scapula, and improve movement synergy of the shoulder girdle to avoid future dislocations. Good luck!

90s Ranger/Tacoma is basically the perfect truck

From a few pages ago, but gently caress yeah. My truck is a 99 Mazda B4000, which is just a re-badged Ford Ranger. It's not too large, but big enough to relatively easily haul a queen mattress + frame (thanks to the racks on the back).

It's green, rusty, and has some :krad: flame decals along the side.

When the tractor had its front wheels on the earth, when it accelerated (with rear wheel drive) it pushed the boat backwards.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Maybe one day trains will develop a technology to allow the train to place its own rocks in situations like this, perhaps a way to spray very tiny rocks onto the tracks. Until then, we do this.

Check out how bent the temporary supports are that they threw up in between the structural steel.

There are stories going around that the construction crews were sent up to remove these for some god knows why reason.

I cant make any sense of the structural arrangement. Poured concrete floors are never done over beams that spread apart. Its almost like the steel engineer designed it for pre-tensioned panels or something and that just never got relayed to the rest of the engineering team.
