I mean where do you think the stand gets its bananas?

So I can speak to this with a bit of direct but still indirect experience.

My partner got an osteochondral allograft. Twice. Same knee. They had a big chunk of cartilage missing from a youth sports accident. The procedure is basically that they take a cadaver knee, they slice off a big chunk of new brake pad for you, soak it in your platelets to prevent rejection. Then they come in and cut off the back of the knee, and slap in the new brakepad.

Having gone through (as a witness, nurse-maid, driver, adjunct pt) the procedure twice in 4 years: your mileage may vary.

The first time was a bit of a disaster. Major prep and PT before hand. Good doc to do the surgery. Trouble started in recovery. Pain was so extreme couldn’t keep food down. Ended up with massive weight and muscle loss on the affected leg. Thigh and quads went as thin as my bicep. Very long time to recover, maybe 9 months. Leg strength came back (but never fully) Developed a “clicking” in the knee. Dr insisted it would smooth down. Partner insisted on getting back to high intensity physical activity soon, was able to do a hundred mile backpacking trip together. I think they were really trying to believe it worked more than it actually had.

Fast forward only a few years and it was worse than it had been before the surgery. And had created arthritis in the join above the knee. And also now had back and hip pain.

So, round two. Another year of pre-PT. Knee got bad to the point they couldnt even bike any more. Same routine. We were very worried going into it. Surgery happened in a day. Previous brake was down to bone. No cartilidge at all. Recovery went 10x more smoothly. Some weight/ muscle loss on that leg. But not NEARLY as much as before. Back and hip issues persist, but as of a hike up in the Waianae range yesterday, no knee issue pain. But now the back and hip issues are bad enough, well. Heal your back now with Norman Popovsky.

hard to say if it was worth it. I think in five more years we might have injectable treatments

I’d forklift Pete Davidson with Ariana Grande.

Revisiting this thread but damn. Fucking nailed it.

64 whole views eh.

Maybe the kids are alright.

The technical reason is that it lyses the cells. The freezing process causes the water in the cells to expand, often beyond the boundary of their cell membrane/ cell wall. The breaks/ punctures the membrane/ wall. These releases more sugars, that otherwise would require either chewing or digestion to expose.

I usually freeze between 20-60 lbs of banana a month, at least during summer/ fall when banana’s are a plenty.

So thinking this through, your best bet long term is going to be a multiple cloud back up system. Its probably more than you would want to pay, but they’re already digitized. Its not crazy to just take advantage of what these kinds of systems are good for, which is distributing backups across multiple servers.

But having local backups is also important. Thinking this through, one cost effective option would be to first back up the CDR to hard drive, for whatever machine you have. Then, burn multiple copies of the data to CDR. Make 10 copies. Send five to family members. Take the other five and shove them in the same place you archive your other stuff. One CD can absolutely rot/ fail. But its unlikely that all of them would fail. If you store them properly, in reasonable house hold temperatures, and you aren’t constantly reading or writing to the disk, they should just kinda sit there and be fine.

If you have a burner, if you want the least technical cheapest approach, thats what I’d recommend.

Actual photos last generations.

Old school photos did. New school? It depends I guess? And even oldschool ones degrade, ESPECIALLY in high light environments. Most these days are just getting printed in ink on shiny paper with a high res printer. I’ve had some of those blow out over a few months. I think in that sense digital is more permanent.

Now kith…

I use gee as the access point by and large. GOES or something like cfsv2 or gedi I’ll download directly because I have to.

Sure. I think you make a point. Israel should be destroyed (as a legal structure). No government which places one ethnic or religious group above others should be allowed to persist.

Its up to him now.

What do you mean by a lucky guess? I’m unclear what you mean. Also, you’ve made no case. If your case is “I believe I’m right, therefore I’m right”, I genuinely hope the woman involved doesn’t take your advice or share your worldview, because if so, she’s going to be in trouble with the law.

From what I could tell, you are apologizing for gendered violence and promoting a sexist world view that removes women of agency when it comes to the use of force and violence when it comes to the escalation of use of violence.

I listened plenty. Its all there, in writing, effectively immutable because this is the fediverse. I don’t think you did anything other than throw insults. I can provide receipts.

Can you accept that if any one as an aggressor, including a woman, initiates violence, and especially, if that person continues to climb the escalation ladder, that they’re in the wrong? That it doesn’t matter what their gender is. If you or any one initiates and escalates violence, that person is in the wrong?

Because from what I could tell, the thread was basically one camp apologizing for a woman initiating and then escalating a violent situation. No one making the accusations of misogyny or sexism could really address the fact that the aggressor in the scenario, self-acknowledged being the aggressor and initiator in her Facebook post. She said she did what the people saying that she was the aggressor did.

Apologism for violence is reactionary. No gender or sex has a monopoly on violence. The aggressor or initiator is the one who is wrong. The one who steps up the escalation ladder through more extreme forms of violence is wrong. The one who tries to de-escalate is right.

Well there should probably be something in there about stalking/ briggading.

But whatever. I you’d like to pick up the discussion in that thread, there are a number of points you can pick up on. More than happy to entertain this, but it really should happen over there.

Again, there is a place for this and its that thread. I’m not going to report you but expect what you are doing is bannable here. You have many options in terms of threads you can pick up on to make that comment.

You should probably keep respectable disagreement to the thread, but considering you weren’t capable of having that kind of discussion there, I doubt you’ll be able to have it here either.

I’m sorry that you support abuse/ domestic violence, at least on the part of one gender. Do better.

Should ask Turkey or Egypt. Maybe Iran.

Fucking banger
