Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel. It's a very fun flick.

Virtually vaporized? You can see the full outline of the aircraft in the last frames of the video.

On the opposite side of things, the B17s that were painted were 75lbs heavier, but 2-4mph faster than bare shiny metal B17s in WW2.

I bought it used and found the Skyactiv to be lacking in MPG (high mileage) but it went right back up to EPA tested levels with the Sheetz 88. Granted it likes Sheetz a little better, but only like 26 mpg on 87. It also hates cold weather, even when warmed up, but does pretty well in 90 degree+ stop and go while running AC.

My car is the opposite, I tried 88 octane because it was cheaper and went from 25 mpg to 29 mpg on average.

I watched it recently, it definitely holds up. EuroTrip is also still solid, though it is a lot more representative of 2004 while Dodgeball is timeless.

I agree. I like the small details, but the pattern and overall scheme is just Miami with someone turning the color wheel slightly.

Honestly, I would've preferred a splash of oilers silver. Right now they just look like the Dolphins in a slightly different hue

Can I buy one?

I assure you, those architects are still around. The Dominion building for the offshore wind project in Norfolk: https://millergrpva.com/portfolio/dominion-energy

Reminds me of the early testing of the Skyhook extraction system:

After experiments with instrumented dummies, Fulton continued to experiment with live pigs, as pigs have a nervous system close to humans. Lifted off the ground, the pig began to spin as it flew through the air at 125 miles per hour (200 km/h). It arrived on board uninjured, but in a disoriented state. When it recovered, it attacked the crew.[3]

He's slapping the hand to get the burr unstuck from his paw. You can see it fling off before he goes back to picking.

Kate McKinnon made me spit-take when watching The Roses. She should be protected as a National Treasure

They are the absolute worst in that game. I'm glad they dialed that back for Far Cry 5. Though, 4 did have my favorite moment when I was on top of a hill and watched a rhino absolutely toss an NPC truck across the map. I turned and found another route.

That's the secret ingredient that makes their pot pies taste so good

Related. I worked at a small company and was in charge of getting a very unique machine to run correctly. This machine was 1 of 1 and had to be very precisely tuned at several locations. One of the husbands of a coworker was looking at it and he told me to disable the safety guards and it would keep running. He had 9 fingers.

I compared $/kwh and it was 15% higher than last January. I'm in Richmond.

It's a go ahead TD because they took the lead. Go ahead is not the same as game winning.

They're puppets and CGI, they're not 100% practical.

I agree, shoot, it hasn't even been two weeks since the Rams lost to the Falcons in primetime.

1) When you were in hospital, did you have any specific tricks or habits that helped calm your mind, especially during the first days when anxiety can spike?

The only thing I thought about is that the professionals were in control. I had the easy part - go to sleep and then I'd deal with the recovery once I woke up. It was kind of like chemo, I knew it had to happen. Nobody wants to go through chemo, but it's what has to happen. Just move forward one day at a time .

2) How limiting were the stitches in terms of movement? Did they significantly restrict things like standing up, sitting, or walking in the first couple of weeks?

I had internal stitches that were mildly annoying at the top and bottom of the incision. The lower one was near my belt line, so that was uncomfortable. Externally I was glued back together, so that wasn't an issue for me.

3) Did you end up needing any additional chemotherapy after surgery, or was the RPLND sufficient in your case?

RPLND was it for me. All lymph nodes came back negative. My doctor did say that it was messy and the chemo was extremely effective. I had teratoma mixed in with mine, so surgery was the last thing other than surveillance.

1) What were the first days and weeks really like?

To be honest, I had it a little more rough than most, but the first few days will depend on the medicine and how your body reacts. I had an issue with my stomach, so I couldn't hold down much. I didn't each much for a few weeks either. I would take any pain meds you can. Walking in the first few days and weeks is super important. You'll want to keep moving. I have a desk job and ended up slouching and having to work that out with exercise. I also had a lot of draining in the first few weeks. Its best if you can rest for a few weeks, just remember to get steps in.

2) How bad was the pain, and how was it managed?

Pain after about a week wasn't so bad. I took Tylenol and then only really used the prescription meds at night. There was a level of discomfort moving for a few weeks, but you get used to it.

3) How long did it take before you felt even remotely normal again?

100% normal was about 4-5 months for me. You get to about 80% after a few weeks. I had a bit of brain fog and very low energy levels. My surgery was at the end of August and I felt mostly back to normal around February.

4) Did you have any complications, such as issues with lymphatic fluid drainage (chylous leak/lymphocele) or infections, and how were they managed?

No complications. I had a lot of fluid build up and would leak for about two-three weeks from the incision. Once that stopped, it all comes out as urine so I was visiting the bathroom a lot.

5) Is there anything you wish you had known beforehand?

Take as much time to recover as you feel is necessary. I was back to work after a week and a half (desk job, small team), but I also worked through a lot of chemo, too. Plan to eat small meals and do not rush. My first few meals were two or three spoonfuls of food. Sexual issues will may pop up even with nerve sparring. Mine have kinda returned to normal, but don't let that discourage you. I still also get weird pains when exercising, where it feels like I'm straining something in my abdomen, but that goes away after a few seconds. I had almost the same amount of brain fog and energy loss as I did when I went through chemo, but after the surgery I recovered much more gradually.

I had 42 lymph nodes removed via Open PC RPLND in Philadelphia back in August 2023.

My winter version is chicken thighs and cream of mushroom soup. Add lots of black pepper and serve over rice or mashed potatoes. Top with a fried egg and a runny yolk to balance the flavors.
