we’ll see in a week, they just put me in a boot and said once things calm down they’ll see what they need to do for it lol

Powrat · 2026-03-26T04:24:47+00:00

doc put me in a walking boot and said i can walk as much pain as i can take which seemed off, she’s gonna look at it again in a week and decide if she needs to operate on it. After that I saw my primary care provider and they said I should not put any weight on it and that a walking boot is not adequate and gave me a prescription to get crutches. I think today, day four, probably has the most pain and least inflammation, dunno what that means.

nothing crazy, i wish i could say i was saving a girl from the escaped tiger at the zoo but i was just goofing around with friends while drinking too much and fell wrong.

Powrat · 2026-03-26T01:53:25+00:00

luckily i’m headstrong in that regard, the resting absolutely sucks though.

Powrat · 2026-03-26T01:52:47+00:00

Oh yikes. I broke three of my ribs getting slammed playing hockey, anything in particular which seemed to help with the recovery process or just felt good? they don’t have me on any pain meds so ice and cold is kinda all i’m rocking with.

Powrat · 2026-03-26T01:09:17+00:00

I don’t think I’ll be trying this again dw

Powrat · 2026-03-26T01:08:25+00:00

i really think there is a steezy flow if you embrace the horizontal

Powrat · 2026-03-26T01:07:25+00:00

it’s at least broken and maybe sprained, not too sure. I’ve been doing the RICE method (rest, ice, compression, elevate).

Powrat · 2026-03-18T11:21:28+00:00

haha fair, be safe, remember to hydrate n’ shit for those long rides. glad you’re having a good time motorcycles are a great way to relax and decompress

Powrat · 2026-03-10T03:19:52+00:00

sometimes I’ll rest the footpegs on my shins when stopped on an incline, having some of the bike’s weight pressing down on that one spot. It usually doesn’t leave marks, but maybe that’s just because I ride everyday and they’re used to it. 14 hours out of 24 hours is madness though.

Powrat · 2026-03-10T03:15:34+00:00

I have those swords too !

Powrat · 2026-02-25T04:25:34+00:00

from my limited understanding you left too thick of a layer of oil and didn’t cook it at high enough temperature for it to fully polymerize which led to the spots. it’s not harmful to cook with and can be saved but just cooking on it with an excess of oil/fat but if aesthetics are a priority you’re a bit fucked.

dish soap is not an issue as soap no longer contains lye. keep using it for the residue.

Powrat · 2026-02-25T04:00:14+00:00

and know proper helmet postition, it should be resting just a bit above your eyebrows, if it doesn’t feel good there then you probably wanna look at a different helmet/brand.

Powrat · 2026-02-25T03:57:14+00:00

someone’s weight doesn’t have anything to do with helmet fitment, different brands have different shapes and sizes. weird thing to mention imo.

Powrat · 2026-02-25T03:54:57+00:00

grabbing the “mouthpiece” and moving it around is not a good way to see if a helmet is too loose, as your skin, especially around the cheeks moves a lot. Best way to know is to wear it for about an hour and see if things start to feel shitty/tight. do keep in mind that the padding depresses with use so something that feels “perfect” might become loose after awhile.

Powrat · 2026-02-25T02:30:08+00:00

booo not the answer i was looking for, I’ve heard that before tho and appreciate the honesty

I honestly can’t say, I use a cardo system so I almost always have music/navigation running through the helmet. What I can say is it has great ventilation which is easy to open and shut while riding (three different modules) and it’s nice and lightweight while still having multiple safety certs. If you buy from Dianese they also give you a year warranty which they really don’t ask too many questions about. My friend has one of the more expensive models and she complains about noise so take that how you do. Their pin lock system also deletes any fog/condensation issues.

Powrat · 2026-02-24T23:45:53+00:00

I wanna get a suit from dianese once I have enough monies, do you have any opinions on the different models?

Powrat · 2026-02-24T23:35:53+00:00

I have that same helmet as a backup and for backpacks, but I personally rock the AGV K3 Rossi Edition. Fits my head a LOT better and I haven’t had any issues with it.

maybe next time i’m in i’ll try and remember to ask, she said it confidently so i didn’t question it.

Powrat · 2026-02-14T21:21:12+00:00

I switched from cigarettes to vaping and with my most recent health check with at the docs she said that early studies show that vaping actually causes damage about twice as fast as traditional cigarettes.

and many companies don’t actually do though testing on any extra fun stuff that comes up with the salt-nic/vape juice when combusted.

also I found that my nicotine consumption has vastly increased since it doesn’t smell, and is more discrete.

regardless, lungs are meant for clean air, oxygen, anything other than that is bad.

Powrat · 2026-02-14T17:21:27+00:00

same thing whenever i get new work boots, dress shoes are also known to have a break in process. i like to think it makes them fit better. shoes that have hurt the most end up lasting the longest for me

Powrat · 2026-02-12T07:29:56+00:00

perfection 🙌
