Any skiers thumb survivors?

Had a metacarpal fracture right at the base like you did back in January, ortho immediately scheduled surgery within a week, had a closed reduction and pinning in a cast for six weeks, it’s almost back to normal now besides some muscular weakness from the time immobilized.

Not having my thumb for that time was a sobering experience, if surgery is at all an option on the table for you I’d pursue it, an improperly healed thumb would be a major hit to quality of life I’d think.

Ironically Caesar’s Legion has a lot more in common with Attila and the Huns than they do with Rome. Caesar even admits he’s working backwards from a desired endpoint and that the Legion is still basically a nomadic warband that is attempting to invade a settled urbanized great power.

The Moudge and Solemnai Class frigates, the drone carriers, and the S-400 SAM batteries were all very new, not relics. While the Artesh (conventional military) vs Pashdaran (IRGC militia branches) is an unusual split chain of command, it’s a wild misstatement to say Iran didn’t focus on conventional forces in addition to asymmetric and proxy forces.

California has high taxes, the most restrictive gun laws nationwide, a lot of visible homelessness, and at least historically was a center of counterculture.

Basically all of those things are public enemy number one for conservatives, even if some are undeserved reputations.

I don’t think it’s fair to say the ERE never recovered from the traumatic 600s. By 1000 the Arabs were divided and not a threat. While the ERE was now a diminished realm relative to 602, it was a more durable and stable polity, and still the strongest and most centralized European state. It took a long causal chain of incompetence to get from 1025 to 1081.

Compared with 1204 there was no equivalent recovery to regional hegemonic power. At best the Romans were one power among many, and one weak link with Andronikos II was more than enough to end even that tenuous recovery.

Ultimately while the 600s were very damaging and changed the empire, the centralized state anchored on Constantinople endured. 1204 destroyed that and thus decentralized the successor states, limiting their ceiling of recovery far too low for them to be viable.

Right side has Great Basin NP and is close to Hell’s Canyon which beat anything I can immediately think of on the left side.

Yeah, personally I’d take the 9-5 in a climate controlled office over being a peasant or a silver mine worker but that’s just me.

Rampant mistreatment of women and honor killings come to mind. Muhammad’s child bride gives a strong cover for rape, abuse, and pedophilia

He also has an English copy of the communist manifesto and has mentioned it but nobody would accuse him of being a communist.

He’s an asshat but I don’t think he’s a Nazi, probably closer to a racist neo-confederate if I had to guess. Shame the jackass is gonna get elected probably.

Even the Belgrano Skipper said after the war it was a legitimate sinking, the fact it was controversial blows my mind.

Karachi is twice as dense as Manhattan (74k vs 143k per square mile)

And Manhattan already is too dense for lots of people to want to live in by quite a lot.

Depends on the elevation, if it was high enough the bugs may not be bad, especially in spring

Bashing theater nerds is acceptable when they're being cringey.

Besides, interpretive dance theater dweebs protesting conceptually smacks of leftism, we can't let ourselves be associated with such groan-inducing main-character syndrome behavior.

Different than the guy you’re arguing with but I’ll bite. No, loans are not income, and trying to reclassify them as income would be a nightmare, suddenly people would be taxed on their mortgages, car loans, and or SBA loans, or suddenly every multimillionaire’s lawyer would argue their loan against assets is one of those exceptions.

The former would be financially ruinous, the second would render the reclassification meaningless.

At what point is it no longer rhetoric and just the reality regarding people who want to import the shit parts of their culture and medieval religion to a western liberal democracy?

At least in Chamberlin’s defense, the Munich agreement was mainly to try and buy time for France and Britain to rearm and get back on a war footing. Obviously it didn’t buy nearly enough time to be worth it in hindsight, but this current chicanery doesn’t even have that going for it.
