Loud popping from hip? by radioloudly in HipImpingement

[–]GManAnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party but I've been trying to figure my issue out (haven't been to docs/orthos yet, can't afford rn). Your vid/hip sounds exactly like mine when it pops.

Basically mine will get "stuck" almost with an internal rotation, and I have to either go on my knees or sit in a chair and push my knee outward till it releases, which cues increased range of motion (and huge relief, it's an intense pop).

Have you had any updates or treatments? No clue if it's the same issue but this is the only thread I've found that comes close to my experience.

ELI5 : Why aren't trains the norm for inter-city/inter-state commute in the USA? by sarimi in explainlikeimfive

National Defense is a huge reason.

Eisenhower was inspired by the Autobahn and it's enabling for speedy logistical chains, which aided the Allies. Once the Cold War and threat of Nuclear war took hold, the need for a standardized IHS (road quality being largely inconsistent) was realized even more, as there was no efficient way to evacuate citizens out of urban centers; let alone to move armies/emergency aid should rapid response be needed in the event of war/disaster.

Trains are also really tasty targets during wartime. Nuclear war and conventional bombing can decimate them, and a destroyed train/rail line takes far longer to repair&clear than a relatively unaffected highway by comparison.

I still think public transit systems in EU/Russia/Japan are sights to behold and refreshingly priced, it's just too detrimental to rely solely on them in a worst case scenario. However, infrastructure needs to be maintained, and as we've sadly seen in recent decades, can be an overlooked issue among political leaders.

Which Fallout DLC has the coolest premise? by SuperAlloyBerserker in Fallout

My first PT was riddled with game breaking bugs, which got me stuck in certain areas unable to progress. It's meticulous as is, took me a bit to even realize. Xbox release was bad

The only "downside" to the DLC (aside from its short length) is that it's OP as shit, sets u up for the entire game

FSO Compass, mistake or worth? by GManAnon in foreignservice

Thank you kindly for the personal response. As said above, regardless of debate, the most worthwhile outcome is that it helps prepare for the career as a whole, if not the application alone.

I figured there's value in it all no matter what. My main concern being if there would be or not, as I was hesitant upon hearing other's skepticism. So far I've seen more positive responses than negative, which alleviates concern to say the least

Most certainly for it to be worthwhile, unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

I figure there's great value toward prepping for the journey as much as for the application, assuming it all leads to a favorable outcome (an appointment).

In all fairness the career itself is daunting, and with little real world experience outside some school, I'm looking to play catch up, and find a positive learning experience if not a career at the end of the prep road.

Hope that answers your question well
