Well it was one of his two Vietnam deployments, so somewhere from 1967-1970, that's as much as I can narrow it down

Weirdest thing about Ebola is that after infection it can still be found in semen for like 6 months to a year? And theoretically transmitted that way. Ebola is stored in the balls is an actual thing.

If I recovered and then had to treat my bathroom as a level 4 hot zone cleanup every time I jerked off for a year, I'd literally rather the virus have killed me

There's a couple of wrist watch brands that were associated with Vietnam-based US troops. Tudor, Ollech & Wajs and Seiko comes to mind. I'm not into Vietnam lore enough to know what was issued and/or bought by who, though.

One of my father's NAMs was for, as an E6, climbing into a poo poo tank on an underway sub to find what was blocking them being able to vent it. They had tried and tried to pressure up the tank and blow out what they thought was a clog, but it never worked.

So the engineering section talked about what to do, he refused to order any of his men to go in there, so he volunteered. They gave him every bit of antibiotic they could, greased up his skin, gave him a cork for his rear end, put him in a chemsuit, taped the ankles and wrists around the gloves, and off he went. He found out what was blocking the valve.

It was a pretty nice watch, with a personalized engraving to an E-3 on board. I was dying to hear about how that went down, but he was in decon when the captain handled it, and the E-3 didn't work for him.

Part of the deal with him going in the tank was that he was authorized Hollywood showers for the remainder of the cruise, and he loved showing that off.

Please allow for a personal update - after badgering the gently caress out of the urologist and the hospital, I got in to have the kidney stones removed aaaaand no stones. The stent apparently made the room for them to pass, so they poked around, couldn't find anything, and I go for an ultrasound in a month.

Meanwhile, the local school boards and poo poo are pissed at the Republican deathcult governors and they appear to be winning it legally.

Every group of motorcyclists has it's dickheads. Plenty with the Japanese bike crowds, you got a few snobby dickheads with the UK and Italian bikes. I used to ride an Indian, and there were a few holier than thou dipshits there as well. But for the most part, they are all very inclusive and just like riding bikes.

But you will never, ever, find a higher concentration of loving fart huffing poo poo barons than harley riders. You'll have the few outliers who have some cool old harley that's been restored or done up or something interesting about it, and they get out there and ride around and have a good time. But your average Harley riders are out there for image. Fat old white guys playing Barbie. They wear all the harley gear, they put the loudest exhausts they can on there, and if it isn't harley then they are actively hostile to it. They are also the worst source of riding and bike advice that you've ever seen, which you can tell immediately by looking at the pristine front brake discs, and discolored, pitted rears. When in packs they actively try to intimidate car drivers, have an intense hatred of anyone who rides a Japanese bike, and make themselves a huge annoyance to everyone around them.

I thought that south park episode "the F word" about harley riders was a bit of an exaggeration, but if you've ever been down A1A on a sunny day, or any nice, low speed stretch of road with plenty of people, you will see a whole crowd of these nutsacks blocking the entire road, holding in their clutch and revving hard trying to make as much noise and get as much attention as possible. Then possibly stalling and laying down their bike, and being terrified of even the slightest corner.

Harley is the brand for people who want to advertise how tough they are, no really, we're tough, and totally aren't compensating for the small wang/divorce/estranged kids/being shunned for bigotry.

So there's a cheap dive bar like 5 blocks from my house in Michigan but the parking lot is constantly full of Harleys and the one time I went in to maybe meet some neighbors it was just a bunch of sad meth heads, who were in fact my neighbors, and the Harley dudes. When you Google it the first result is about a dude getting shot to death in the parking lot last year and occasionally the Harley guys cat-call at my fiancee when she's outside doing lawn stuff.

I had the follow-up surgery yesterday - the surgeon went in to bust-up/remove the 3mm and 6mm stones that they pushed out of the way two weeks ago. They found nothing - either they passed over the past weeks, or removing the stent at the start dragged out the clots, or the stones moved up into my weird, deformed inverted horseshoe kidneys. Doc said he double-checked every nook and cranny he could up there before pulling the final guide wire and sending me home. Three hours later the borderline hospitalization-level pain restarted and I was Very Not Happy until I got in touch with the doc after a second emergency call.

He mentioned all the above and raised the possibility that it could be a simple blood clot on its way out and to pound some ibuprofen. Sure as poo poo, after a pharmacy trip, a smooshed pea-rear end tadpole looking motherfucker popped out.

TheWeedNumber posted:

Yeah I'm not going to share aforementioned tadpole looking motherfucker :v:

Also, I believe the net cost to me for all this poo poo is about $100 in pills and sidecosts. HMOs are fine when they cover hospital poo poo and you have a good primary care doctor for referrals. It was funny seeing a $2500 base surgery charge, the plan only approving/paying like $400, then owing nothing. Still waiting for the 3day/2night hospital stay to post which should be the same.

How I felt after the clot passed: https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1425332998665248770?s=19

Edit2: just passed another clot, it's like the surgeon turned my kidney into a frog abortion factory

I did, it hurt like a sonofabitch. When I was filling the cup I heard a "tink" and saw a little grain of sand at the bottom. gently caress kidney stones.

e: for me the pain started on my right side and got progressively worse, and I thought it was a bowel obstruction or my appendix (wasn't really towards my back). Nope, gave birth to a little rock golem named Spite.

I didn't! But my piss smelled bad off/on and it looked like it was coming out carbonated when clear, didn't think anything of it, then a week later the stone jammed everything up.

It likely depends on where your back spasms are. I was basically this dude: http://imgur.com/a/s2kMtxO

Stones can be detected either via ultrasound or CT scan (mine was without oral contrast, thank gently caress), so unfortunately it's not a cheap thing to check without insurance.

Stones are very weird - when I had my kidney stent in, it caused my right testicle to go AAaaaAAaaA at random intervals because the nerves are so tied together. Kidney stones generally cause lower quadrant pain. Basically, you probably need a full doctor workup, as stones make themselves very, very clear and there's usually not much of an in-between.

My favorite Batman adopting Robin tale was from All-Star when his parents die at the circus so Batman stuffs him in the batmobile and takes him away with plenty of very unnecessary slurs peppered through the dialogue. During this chase sequence we cutaway to Superman crushing a milk carton that has Robin's picture on it.

quote:

Clark Kent either drank this carton of milk fifteen hours before Dick Grayson was kidnapped by Batman, and thus it is a magical prescient carton of milk, OR it's actually been a long enough ride in the Batmobile for Dick to have been reported missing, for his name to get to the missing persons groups, for them to submit his information to the milk company, for the milk company to print the cartons, distribute the cartons, and then for Clark Kent to go to the grocery store and buy the carton of milk. Let's see, by my rough estimate, that means that Batman and Dick have been on the way to the Batcave for, oh, about FIVE loving WEEKS now.
