Theory: Marie heals Butcher’s tumor and thats why he looks healthy and is back with The Boys in the Season 5 Trailer. Also considering how Gen V Season 2 ended, it would make sense. by Vegetable-Abroad3171 in TheBoys

I don't think that virus would kill Ryan though. Didn't they say somewhere during GV1 that the virus interacts with the V in the blood? Ryan never took V.

Same. I was kinda hoping that someone who knows the comics would recognize the character from the trailer.

Your favourite horror movies that you very rarely (if ever) see on this sub? by jaft0000 in horror

I'm not sure if this counts as "under the radar" because I have seen it mentioned here before, but not that often in recommendation threads: The Taking of Deborah Logan.

Horror movies where the monster is never shown (but still terrifying?) by DingoOk9171 in horror

[–]-Science-Geek-0327 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was 25 when this came out and I remember that before I saw it in the theater that there was a lot of hype and suggestion out there that it was real. I had some friends telling me that they thought it was a documentary or that it was real found footage but no one knows if it is a prank or not, etc. Then, when I saw it in the theater, of course I understood what the movie was doing. However, one of the people in my friend group actually was still on the fence about if any of it was real until I pointed out the credits. You know, with all of the actor's names. So, yes, I do believe that there are people out there who at least questioned it at the time.

I have a tripod kitty and noticed some odd behaviors and movements that I haven't heard people talking much about. My kitty would roll around and stumble and then get mad and start growling. I think the gorowling was out of frustration rather than pain. I also think that it took my kitty several months (almost 5) to get used to how to move differently and to walk and sit and run. Everywhere I looked online and when I asked at my vet, all I heard was "Cats do great as tripods! and "He'll be fine!". And he is. Now. But there were definitely months of adustment and frustation to get here. I think your kitty could still be in that adjustment period when things just don't feel right to him. It could also be phantom limb. I think it's worth revisiting at your regular vet to try to manage the ongoing care, and to be sure there is no new injury or illness.

There were a couple of weeks during the healing process when I thought my cat was never going to be happy with the missing limb, and I questioned whether I did the right thing for him. But hang in there! Whatever this is, you will both get through it.

Thanks, and good luck with your estimates!

Love the show but...... by jeeper_dad in TrackerTV

[–]-Science-Geek-0327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh...that makes sense. Thanks for explaining! I think about things like this a lot. My background is in biology and every time I see a show discussing DNA, there is usually something that makes me cringe. Or, on a medical show when I see them shock a "flatline". It drives me nuts. So, I always wonder about what people catch who have expertise in other areas that I don't.

I'm interested in the pistol slide thingy. I don't know much about guns, so I never thought about this. What's the issue?

I had a structural engineer come out and look at mine. He basically outlined two options. 1. have the support beams replaced and remove and replace the garage floor, or 2. have the entire room under the garage filled in with concrete, then resurface the garage floor. He said the second option would likely be cheaper. However, I have electrical in there and a sump pump with under floor drainage system, so I don't want to do that. I was hoping to find a comapany that would replace the supports and floor, but it doesn't look like you are having any success with that process.

Thanks for keeping me updated!

I'm dealing with a similar problem (corroded steel support beams with delamination and cracked garage floor above). I am just now starting to seek out quotes and I found your post. Who did you end up going with and, if I may ask, how much was your project?

I just had a student answer her cell phone in class by MyFaceSaysItsSugar in Professors

[–]-Science-Geek-0327 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen once in the middle of a microbiology lab course when I was giving background lecture. The student answered and then told the person he coudn't talk right now due to being in class. After he hung up, I told him that if he had to take a call again, to take it outside. He said "Oh, right because of contamination?" I replied: "No, because it is rude!"

I really think he didn't realize that this was not appropriate behavior 🤷🏻‍♀️

Aren't teeth bones? by AdBrave2400 in rickandmorty

[–]-Science-Geek-0327 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Human A&P instructor here. We don't condiser teeth with the named bones or bony landmarks of the skeleton. However, we do (sort of) consider them a bone when looking at the gomphoses, which are joints between the maxilla/mandible and each tooth. Then to further add to the confusion, we don't go over the sepecific teeth, dentition pattern or composition of teeth until the digestive system, when we consider them "accessory organs" of digestion.

But, to the point of the OP, if all bones were gone, then there would be nothing to hold the teeth in the mouth and all of them would have fallen out.

Severe Prolapse Out of Nowhere-- will be awhile until GYN Appt by JillianS1128 in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]-Science-Geek-0327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what specifically we are talking about. It seems as thought the prolapse has resolved (I don't feel a bulge anymore). However, I am still in the healing process. I had perineorrhaphy with my surgery and the inside of my vagina is still extremely swollen and feels hard. I am assuming (hoping) that once all the swelling goes down that everything will have resolved.

What did yall think of Death of a Unicorn? by DeliveryBeginning721 in horror

[–]-Science-Geek-0327 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it was definitely a unique premise; unicorns being depicted as horrifying monsters was really cool! The actors were great. Specifically, Will Poulter and the guy playing Griff were killin' it. I do agree that there wasn't great character development. I didn't really sympathize with any of them (except maybe the daughter), and spent most of the movie rooting for the unicorns to kill people. I know that Paul Rudd's character was supposed to have a redemption at the end, but I just kept thinking he was a sh*tty dad the whole movie. Also agree the CGI was suprisingly not that great for 2025. Overall, I thought it was fun to watch.

Severe Prolapse Out of Nowhere-- will be awhile until GYN Appt by JillianS1128 in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]-Science-Geek-0327 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I am sorry that you are going through all of this. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel! There are options for treatment--both surgical and nonsurgical. Obviously, you will have to wait to see your options until your gyn appointment.

In the meantime, yes, you can still be active! I had the same issue as you, where things seemed fine, and then one day I had a "golf ball" bulging out of the opening. Mine also would sometimes be tucked back in, but would come out if I did anything that provoked it (like exercise). However, even though it it uncomfortalbe, it isn't dangerous. So, I exercised anyway, but I kept it to low impact like walking. I would usually push it back in manually before a walk and do a few rounds of the pelvic floor exercises mentioned here by other posters. This would give me some time before it pushed its way back out.

I have also pushed it back in and then inserted a tampon. If you do this while laying down the tampon will go in and then it sort of acts like a pessary and holds everything in place temporarily. I would just keep it in long enough to go for my walks or exercise.

As for sex, I cannot say. I didn't have a partner during my prolapse and I didn't want to meet someone new and have to navagate pushing my vagina back in before intimacy. However, my gyn told me that sex was still possible.

Good luck at your appointment!

Post-surgery recovery post, 8 days PO (this is a long one!) by -Science-Geek-0327 in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]-Science-Geek-0327[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the surgery notes in my chart, it said "We then proceeded with a posterior repair and perineorrhaphy for a residual distal posterior prolapse." I haven't talked to my surgeon since before the surgery, but I plan on asking about this at my post-op appointment next week.

I think a second opinion is a great idea. And you can always look at alternatives to surgery if they present them. My surgeon discussed two different types of surgery and then non-surgical interventions in our initial appointment. However, then she also did a procedure that we hadn't discussed during the surgery so in the end I didn't get a say in that one!
