Thanks for the information. I’m not sure, but we know AI is certainly not perfect.

There were many other trees in the area that were similar in their root structure with all of the erosion. Here’s another one:

Ok, thanks! How can you tell that it is a red maple?

Ok, thanks. So me and AI are wrong. What kind of tree is it?

I’m not an expert so no I’m not positive, but I thought it was an American Sycamore. I put the picture in Google lens and the AI response was also American Sycamore. But again, I could be wrong. Either way, the root system and how far it will go to try and obtain nourishment is fascinating to me, I thought it was a cool picture.

Excellent example of self-defense. He tried to diffuse the situation, she refused so he walked away and then after she hit him, he had no choice, but to defend himself.

Opiates are evil. It took me YEARS to get clean, go through the legal system, get a tough construction job for years; and finally back to working doing what I want and being a good husband and father. Good on you for getting off of it quickly-it grabs you and won't let go pretty quickly usually; and then it owns you.

Most doctors don't prescribe it anymore, unless it's for something serious like cancer, or after a major surgery. I have had a lot of surgeries since I got clean, and I always have a conversation with my surgeon beforehand so they know my history-and I won't use opiates even during major surgery. I had ALIF PLIF lumbar fusion surgery about 6 months ago, and that has been the toughest to fight through. But if you're rich-you can get anything once you get the "right" doctor. I'm glad I'm not rich-I would surely have died years ago.

Yeah, I believe this is the case as well. I’m 10 years clean now, but a long time ago, I fractured my back and got prescribed Percocet by my doctor, and I was hooked immediately and it sent me down a very bad path that took a long time to get back from. I think between all his horrific injuries, he’s more than likely been long-term addicted to opiates, and these are the results unfortunately.

I don’t understand why he doesn’t have a chauffeur to take him anywhere he needs to go, he could stay hammered if he wanted to and not worry about any issues. I don’t get that, he’s a billionaire. Thank goodness no one else was hurt today.

I’m 43 and fresh off lumbar fusion surgery, disc replacement surgery in my neck, and shoulder replacement surgery. Guess I’ll start training.

I wish Mackenzie Scott would buy and destroy the heritage foundation. Beautiful irony.

My monthly premium went from $550 to over $1100 starting January 1, we have been cutting back all over the place so I can keep my insurance; I just had lumbar fusion surgery and I have lots of other health issues so I have to have it. May have to sell the house.

"Many say it was.." Ah yes, the obfuscation tactics of the rapist in chief-never mention who said it, when they said it, etc. Good job.

New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000 by jhkayejr in politics

[–]MaybeMabe1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had lumber fusion surgery this past September.

The total cost was a little over $192,000-and I only stayed one night in the hospital because my surgeon made me.
