Large Testicles posted:i had to have knee surgery at 16 and back surgery when i was 25 and neither of them were due to injury. i'm like the Yugo of people My friend had both hips replaced before he was 30, he had avascular necrosis of the ends of his femurs. The fun part is that unlike most people who have their hips replaced by titanium, he’ll probably live long enough to need them replaced a second time.

Computer viking posted:(And family feud was never on TV here, so that wasn't an obvious reference - but yes) You need to look up some episodes. Classic ones have Richard Dawson kissing every female on set (kinda creepy), current run has Steve Harvey getting offended at every. little. thing. Like Neil deGrass Tyson's kid commenting on his (lack of) hair  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1HbsQRftfI

I just had my hip replaced last year at 41 and my estimate for the next one is @ 60-ish. Your buddy might live long enough to have TWO revisions.

I loved Richard Dawson, as that was my era (although even a little old for me, more re-runs) but drat yeah, the repeated kissing of the female contestants in the 70s, looking back with the lens of today is a little  https://youtu.be/-NX6yqCTRO4?si=uYktg2bHFbTKKMTx There was quite the mix from the ladies with a totally into it to more of a resigned "whelp, I should just get this over with" vibe.

Yeah definitely syndication by the time I came around, but yeah. The things that were acceptable back then are a OH HELL NAW today. The one that always got me was my parents lighting a cigarette or five while shopping at Safeway.

Sexual harassment only just stopped being acceptable recently, never forget that. Women being able to vote and work without a husband's permission are fairly new achievements as well.

Women in Lichtenstein gained the right to vote in 1984, and the last canton in Switzerland didn't give women local voting rights until 1991.

The fun part is that unlike most people who have their hips replaced by titanium, he’ll probably live long enough to need them replaced a second time. My brother had a cadaver knee, and then the cancer came back and he got titanium but also had a wide resection of tissue and lost most of his quadriceps and other various muscles / connective tissues, making his leg not able to do much mechanically, and then at 25 his hip on the other side went necrotic which they said was probably from the chemo, so he had that replaced, and then at age 43 a truck pulled out in front of him and my dad while they were driving, causing an accident that shattered his “worse” leg below the artificial knee, requiring external fixation and physical therapy which was very difficult for him to do on a leg that is difficult to move anyway, and now they think he is about to need a new artificial knee and new artificial hip because has had them for a long time now. The only thing that’s had more stresses than his legs is probably his mind

At that goddamn rate I'm surprised his vasculature isn't causing his legs to die, or they haven't looked at prosthetics because Jesus. Thats a seriously lovely roll of the dice.

Daughter's roommates 2013 Fit wouldn't start. Green immobilizer light kept flashing on the dashboard, meaning the system wasn't recognizing the key. *sigh* Found the FSM, printed out the relevant pages and got to work. Fuse checks good, ground is good, getting ready to start testing connectors and noticed this: https://www.amazon.com/Bling-Car-Decor-Rhinestone-Accessories/dp/B0101SLTC8?th=1 around the ignition switch. nah... Peeled it off, tried the key, started right up. Googled it afterward, apparently this has been happening for a while. Metal ring interferes with the signal between the chip and the key. Yay science!

Crystals should be glued onto the steering wheel airbag, not the Start button.

My brother used to joke that the emblem in the middle of his steering wheel was designed to be launched off by the airbag at speed in order to euthanize you quickly in the event of a crash. He joked, but it was right on the airbag seam, so ???? maybe?

You can see which side of the emblem the seam goes around if you look closely enough. Source: I used to work with someone who worked in Takata's airbag division and would point out every knit line in every steering wheel they saw
