Had a synthetic disk implanted. I don&#39;t know how much that differs from a lumbar one though. I was there to help her out for part of her recovery and she was shockingly mobile much sooner than I expected for such invasive surgery. Up and about, able to do things for herself almost immediately. My help was almost superfluous. Very short hospital stay too iirc. I think just a day or two? Very minimal after surgery pain. 2026-06-11T13:57:11Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstvt3zwz5dwdc8384uawu2297jmzygsv0uun4nh6am3vhefu5puqszyqnjpv4d3tjqj6wacjwpqja9z6re90ys9fjpnzdru9huf4849h7dzx8e5v6 I&#39;m probably gonna regret asking this here but... My work computer is an old-ish Windows machine. The 223GB usable space on the hard drive is nearly full (&lt;8GB free). I&#39;ve emptied all the caches and temp folders I can find, emptied the recycling bin, deleted most of the stuff in the downloads folder, and removed unused apps. I&#39;ve only got a few GB of documents, images etc. I have no idea what else might be eating up so much space. <br/><br/>EDIT: NVM!

We actually had a really nice notice board at our local park, but a novice Semi-truck driver got lost on our neighborhood streets and backed over it. The city has no funds for low-priority items like this and prohibits us from fixing it ourselves. :/ <br/><br/>One of these days I&#39;m just going to go down there and throw up a new one myself and damn the consequences. 2026-04-20T17:47:39Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv949lulr0pxezvae3ek6yl7uuk8jnykwcktweele8t4dskv95t4czyqnjpv4d3tjqj6wacjwpqja9z6re90ys9fjpnzdru9huf4849h7dznkufpv Hey #Biketooter, pretty technical question for the gear-heads: I&#39;ve got a gravel bike built out with late-aughts Shimano 105 and Ultegra components (brifters). I swapped out the biggest ring in the rear cassette (9spd) for a 32-tooth and the smallest in front (3 spd) for a 28 tooth. <br/><br/>The bike is still geared much too high for the bikepacking I want to do. I&#39;m pretty sure I&#39;m at the limits of what the current derailleurs can handle. What&#39;s the simplest/cheapest way to get a better low-range? 2026-04-19T20:39:53Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsr93jkgntwd34f2ljjxyyqdnxs6jcd5r6tpfu94m2mp8lqycnmf6qzyqnjpv4d3tjqj6wacjwpqja9z6re90ys9fjpnzdru9huf4849h7dzlm3m4z Chuck Norris was a right wing bigot who campaigned against same-sex marriage, supported the Obama birther conspiracy, and was just generally an all-around shithead.

And I&#39;ve got to say I think the film got a bad rap! It was considered a box office bomb at the time but it&#39;s not bad. I mean, no one was going to win any awards for this film but I think the criticism was a little unfair, considering how well garbage like Titanic did so well and won so many awards around the same time. 2026-02-25T03:53:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyu9n0rrasa6xwcuf7wzue3xvx7sy3jufj8j2cdahkzgtklwxx29qzyqnjpv4d3tjqj6wacjwpqja9z6re90ys9fjpnzdru9huf4849h7dzzpaknp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2ukq0re497t44cnjv4v0fwytptr3auwnx3c853klvmwlpkjvtrcsvxn4mu'>nevent1q…n4mu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I have a large scar on my left hand and minimal feeling in my left middle finger from doing exactly this 😆 2026-02-12T02:31:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs27n0syw8p4qzh3qq6yag09g252tm6uqv6c4kkc7lgzy7qgasw76gzyqnjpv4d3tjqj6wacjwpqja9z6re90ys9fjpnzdru9huf4849h7dz83rtcy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr7j726af52y30tpvs20ez2stux6fvegl83utq8cv8ygca8054s7cvw7xnf'>nevent1q…7xnf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Flags For Good has a few &#34;abolish ice&#34; flags of various sizes.
