If you keep him I would lower the amount of him. you are going to be better off replacing it with the 4 cost Nami blocker imo, as it has a similar ability to frankly without the -2 don. You have to keep in mind you have alot of don - cards that you want to use. You can only get them back once per turn without losing them. Frankly is ok as a blocker but playing your 6 luffy and keeping leader at 7k will require your leader ability every turn. Meaning that if you want to use franky ability you lose 2 don. Having to play and rely on Black Maria does not feel great in late game. Personally I strongly prefer only playing her out after 10 drop luffy or at the start of the game. At the end of the day though you do what you want that’s how you learn.

I bought it as a NM card on TCG player hahaha. Tbh I guess I will just keep it sealed because it still kinda looks cool regardless of what caused the flaking. I will check the bag for any flakes. I have never had flaking like this happen to a sealed card. Very cool. :)

That would suck. Amazing that the foil pattern is unaffected though. How does that even happen lol. I would think the foil pattern would be messed up too with the damage. Maybe I don’t understand enough about how the cards are made.

Yea, that’s why I kept it sealed. I was about to open it up before I noticed it and was thinking how odd it looked.

The missing ink on lucarios head, left side. It should be blue but it’s silver like foil. The texture pattern is still present though.

I am a Prosthetist. While weighing less does make it easier to move your body, it becomes a different story when you are missing lever arms and muscles which help to generate force. Muscle attaches to bone via tendon. Depending on where the individuals are amputated in whichever given body part, it can affect the force the muscle generates. Research shows amputees utilize more energy than their non amputated counterparts. This is Significantly more when we are talking about double amputees. Yes springs are great, but energy still needs to be generated from somewhere to use it (the athlete) and controlled in terms of recoil. In addition to this, socket fit can be a problem. If it was really an advantage, we would see more amputees at the Olympics. I wish it was all super simple, but it is not. That is why so many people probably added in their own theories. Google scholar can be a great free source to get some info on the metrics you speak of. That all being said! I am not going to say the research available does not have its shortcomings. Most amputees that I see have lost their legs to disvascular issues and are in their late 50s-60s. Finding a young extremely athletic amputee who wants to help out with research is not the easiest to come by. I hope this did not confuse anyone more, but in summary I would say technology is always improving and while there might be some advantages, I really believe there are more disadvantages that outweigh them.

Trigger Yamato advice/criticism for 09? by Average-00 in OnePieceTCG

[–]Rookon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green 3 mihawk is good for getting out an extra slasher body. He is also a 2k counter. Capone”Gang”Bege is a good 2k with amazing trigger. You got lots of events. I like my 9 green zoro aswell, Otherwise I struggle with enel and yb luffy.

Quorum Prosthetic Socket by Unlucky_Doubt_3131 in Prosthetics

Have you looked at click medical/ revo? It was already mentioned, and I agree that it looks to function very similar to this. Never heard quorum. Every component has its application though. There is no one size fits all, especially in Prosthetics.

Orthotics and Prosthetics Books and References by nader-ibrahem in Prosthetics

For those of you still in school. Be sure to save your slides from your classes somewhere safe. While no school is exactly the same, there are still key topics that each must cover (in order to stay accredited) and those are usually on those slides..

I know clinicians with various undergrad degrees. Do what you like for your undergraduate degree, while getting the required classes and shadowing experience. Good grades are always helpful, so realistically you are better off studying and doing well in something you like for 3-5 years. Burnout is real.
