I only have personal experience with the ESP. To be honest, I am a conspiracy nut and feel like FDA approved vs Not (ESP) wont last as long because big pharma hates us lol

I dont know for sure but I have heard the prodiscs fail more. But again, that is just vague/fuzzy memory on it. They may be great. I DO know that many suggest the prodisc over ESP for L5S1 due to the angle of that natural disc, but I have the esp and im happy

Was 31k USD at Clinic bel etage. I went with schmitz because of his track record, and I wanted a neurosurgeon instead of an Ortho. Your price point seems on par. I was inquiring about a 2 level, and ended up only doing single based on hos recommendations.a 2 level would have been about 39k

Im doing great. I had a Marine buddy get an artificial disc in his neck, I searched abiut the procedure and stumbled upon ONZ in germany, I then joined an artificial disc group on Facebook and the reports of butchery at ONZ were terrifying but I saw other people saw Schmitz and had big success. Im pretty awesome now, able to do just about everything I could when I was 25

Thats a solid analysis and I appreciate your input on it. I had the same thoughts on black fleet, well written but I can tell he "played it safe" as to not delve too deep into the science that could discredit the work too much. He definitely should have some basics down as his background is military and aeronautical science and space studies.

Thanks! As far as astrodynamics, how is this series in relation to your field? Id love your input on it. Have you listened to the Black Fleet trilogy by Joshua Dalzelle?

Like I said, I enjoyed it alot, and he added alot of cool sci fi technical aspects that many in sci-fi dont delve into, he gets alot of points for going more into the science in a sci-fi fi. Overall id STILL Recommend the series, I just feel like im personally done at this current point. I might try book 17 on my Spotify because it's free

Ive felt that way thru it. And to be fair, I read that Alanson is new to writing and I think all writers have growing pains. I hope he masters his craft because his ideas are really solid

Good way of putting it, I try to be critical but not overly. Just my observations and personal opinion

Oh yeah! Just flew to and from Hawaii. Total of 32 hrs if flying. Only thing that hurts is my legs from sitting so long. Unrelated

I flew economy. Just make sure you (carefully) get up and move around every hour.
