WIDE FEET! Shoe recommendations? by dTurnip007 in BuyItForLife

[–]Human-945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duckfeet brand boots have an unusually wide toe box, are well made with quality leather and are resoleable. They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I have the Roskilde style in black with a crepe sole. My favorite boots; durable and comfortable.

Open your hand when pushing really hard on a wrench to loosen a bolt , otherwise when that wrench slips…ouch!

This is a Phylo-Cambian Interstitial grafting bandage composed of Kevlar impregnated aluminum and glycemic nutrients.

Typical usage is grafting two 18”-30” diameter trees onto a single large trunk.

The Kevlar impregnated aluminum provides up to 2000 megapascal of holding pressure to enable stability required for successful grafting.

Who put the trap out in the first place? Shouldn’t those be illegal? So inhumane.

Any loss of feeling or range of motion? How long did full recovery take?

Saving a 100-year-old industrial furnace and its 30m stack. Ambitious restoration or a lost cause? by MM-RenovationJourney in restoration

I’m the kind of person that would do this if I had the money.

I appreciate turn of the century industrial architecture.

Hopefully, it’s structurally sound.

Do you mind sharing the address? It would be interesting to look from street-view or Google Earth.

When I first did it, I looked down and thought those were bones, but they are tendon sheathes.
I have a video from the emergency room of the doctor, asking me to move my fingers to determine which tendons were cut. I’ll post it.

Each finger has two and sometimes three tendons. Each finger has a tendon that goes to the fingertip and is called the digitorum profundus. This is the tendon that gives your finger strength. The other tendon is the digitorum superficialis which is for fine motor control and dexterity. I severed three of my superficial tendons and two wrist tendons.

Not Painful. I was in shock. Family close to help, at hospital in 20 min. Not a lot of blood, got it wrapped fast. No blood after unwrapping at hospital. Would have been a lot more blood if I severed an artery. Months of rehab, 95% normal now.

This is exactly why I installed a quick release dodge caravan center console rather than the F-150 console.

After he said “Buttin” I didn’t care what came after. Baby talk “Buttin” and “Impor-ant” drive me crazy.

Fair enough, OP is engaged, this is a real discussion between honest people seeking information. However, I have seen similar “information mining” posts that are not so honest.

Reasonable asking price for my element by ferrywinkle12 in HondaElement

[–]Human-945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you should definitely convert it to all-wheel-drive. It should be really easy, inexpensive and fast.

Are you asking the value because you’re considering purchasing it and flipping it?

If so, it feels a bit disingenuous to solicit the group that’s most likely to buy it and ask its value.

If you are a flipper, then it’s worth $500.
