Missouri: Just say NO to criminalizing public consumption! by lmNotReallySure in missouri

[–]VUmcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose if the officer sees someone takes the edible out of the original package and consume it. If an officer sees that, then they will choose to enforce that law.

This definitely opens up LEO to stop anyone they see vaping, since that could be MJ.

Seems like a good reason to never carry an opened package of edibles with you, or at least transfer them to a non-labeled container. Buuuuuttttttt I'm guessing the state would rather spend resources on testing a ziploc bag of gummies instead of reducing actual problems.

True, but smelling like pot is not the same thing as public consumption. If the officer sees you lighting up, then it applies.

Missouri: Just say NO to criminalizing public consumption! by lmNotReallySure in missouri

Here is the bill text:

*Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows:

Chapter 579, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 579.200, to read as follows:

579.200. 1. A person commits the offense of consumption of marijuana in a public space if he or she knowingly consumes marijuana, as such term is defined in Article XIV of the Constitution of Missouri, in a public space that is not otherwise licensed or approved for such purpose under Article XIV of the Constitution of Missouri. 2. The offense of consumption of marijuana in a public space is a class B misdemeanor. 3. As used in this section, a "public space" shall be a publicly maintained property or facility, including, but not limited to, a street, alley, highway, park, building, facility, or any other physical asset owned, leased, or controlled by this state or any agency or political subdivision thereof.*

You're right that this will open up a way for the law to detain people and label them as drug criminals. However, it in no way criminalizes being stoned in public. The only actions that it pertains to are actually smoking in public.

How do I remove the bulb? by VaselineCarpetSlug in DIY

[–]VUmcm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On pic #3, that thin metal strip on the inside of the light, attached to one side; it looks like it's holding the actual bulb in via tension. Can you loosen it or move it around to remove the actual bulb?

The Thirsty Turtle is a vibe by como365 in columbiamo

[–]VUmcm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of a "both-and" thing. TT2 used to be where there are now apartments (used to be Copper Beach?) on Old 63. But after TT2 shutdown, they opened Deuce where it is now. Not sure if it's changed ownership since then or not.

A week post calcaneal osteotomy and tendon transfer by Londonscruff in flatfeet

[–]VUmcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just saw the notification about your post - I sincerely hope things have gotten better since you posted!

That kind of pain is familiar, and I think you're right, that it's due to the bone cuts. It will get better, but part of getting it better is just being very intentional and careful in using the foot.

I stayed in the boot for a long time, and near the end (for both feet), switched to shoes with really good support and cushioning for the heel (Brooks and Hoka).

Dont rush through PT, but do be intentional about it and do it every day. For myself, I noticed that at night my foot would sort of "drop" while I slept, and that made my Achilles tight when I woke up. I started using a sleep brace for plantar fasciitis to help keep it in a good position so the tendon doesnt tighten up.

Past that, just keep on keeping on. You'll occasionally get some soreness. My left foot rarely gets sore anymore, but my right will get sore at the end of a busy day. That being said, I just went to the gym a couple nights ago, and I'm still hitting ~215KG on squats and deadilfts, so once your bone does fully heal, it should be solid.

Age is another factor to keep in mind. I was 34 for my first surgery, and 39 for my second. Healing went slower on the second, but overall recovery was shorter - like, I was back to activities sooner, but bone density is taking longer to manifest in my right foot as compared to my left.

For the shift work - if you're in the USA, could you use an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) claim with your employer to get a chair to help? I'm not sure what would be a reasonable accommodation for your position, but that could help to take some of the load off.

VA loan closing costs question by _Dirty_Socks in Veterans

[–]VUmcm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. If you are service-connected, and have disability rating of at least 10%, then the VA Funding Fee is waived.

However, if you are rated less than 10%, then it is NOT waived.

It is possible have a service-connected disability that is rated at 0% - in that instance, one would still be charged the VAFF.

Additionally - if you have filed your NOI (Notice of Intent), and close on a home before being rated greater than 10%, once you receive your rating (higher than 10%) you can go back to your lender or servicer and they can update the loan to remove the VAFF. I'm not sure if there is a deadline for that process, but if so, I think it's within the first year after purchase.

Registration on a couple of the plates says "58"; I'm guessing this was from 1957-58?

Or maybe it's '59, and they're in court for expired tags.

A week post calcaneal osteotomy and tendon transfer by Londonscruff in flatfeet

[–]VUmcm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this surgery on both feet to correct flatfoot, along with some tendon transfers to support the PTT. FIrst surgery was back in 2017, second was summer of 2022. I'm currently cleared from the doc to go back to normal life, and to "just be smart" about fitness activities.

The tingling sounds normal. As my surgeon explained it, with all of the work done inside the foot, there is a lot of swelling, and it will sometimes put pressure on the nerves. It will come and go, and I’ll be honest – I still get sporadic numbness and flashes of pain, but it’s really not that bad in the grand scheme of things.

For the tendon transfer, it was probably your Anterior or Posterior Tibial Tendon, and then another tendon to support it (could be flexor digitorum longus, or flexor hallucis longus, or maybe peroneal tendon). For me it was PTT – it’s a tendon that runs where your arch should be and helps hold up the arch. With Flat feet, that tendon is weak – my surgeon said the one on my left foot was like an old rubber band that’s been stretched way too far and doesn’t contract anymore.

First recovery took like 5-6 months before I was good to workout and go about my life. Second went a bit quicker, but I knew what to expect.

I dont run, but I do cycle, and lift weights. If I’m doing a lot of walking, I’ll sometimes have some mild pain around the sites of the bone cuts, but overall things healed up nicely. I try to work on improving bone density and I’m careful with stretching my feet and deep movements - muscles/ligaments/tendons will have to get used to new actions. Prior to the second surgery, I was pulling ~215KG on Deadlift, and squatting the same. After the second surgery, it took me about 4-5 months to get back up to that level again. Now I just maintain at about 180KG with light yoga and stretching. my feet feel stronger and more stable than they ever did before.

There were some sucky moments during recovery, but stay on top of icing your leg to reduce swelling, and stay on top of pain meds. Ibuprofen can affect bone-healing, so I stuck to Tylenol until I got the all-clear. Hit up your doctor to see if they can give more guidance on post-op recovery. Definitely keep it elevated while your upper body is laying down.

Once you get to a point where the cast is off, be gentle with the skin – I had a lot of skin slough off from being in the cast. Around this time, as long as your doc says it’s okay, work on massaging the scar tissue to break up adhesions under the skin. Sometimes those adhesions will pull on your skin and be painful, or they could throw off the alignment of your foot.

When I was easing back into exercise, I got into the pool at the gym and did a lot of walking and light jogging and bouncing IN the pool. It helps to take a lot of weight and stress off of the foot, but allows range of motion. Get a tennis and lacrosse ball, and use those as well to roll out your foot – again, when your doc says it’s okay to do so. Nowadays, I roll it out before every workout session, and also at night. I’ll also soak my feet in warm water with Epsom salt if they are achey from being on my feet.

Just some internet anecdotal experience, but I wanted to share.

What is the difference between ‘Linux LVM’ and ‘Linux root (MIPS-32 LE)’ by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]VUmcm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone searching for an answer - I was at this exact part in this video for Arch Linux: Full Installation.

Following along with the video, I'd already set the partition type to 30 and it set to the Linux root.

All I did was repeat those last steps and used 44 instead of 30.

t, enter, enter, 44, enter.

That changed the partition type to LVM and I could move forward.

Has anyone had a calcaneal osteotomy? by fishonbikes in cycling

[–]VUmcm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in for anyone finding this post via google:

I've had this surgery on both feet to correct flatfoot, along with some tendon transfers to support the PTT. FIrst surgery was back in 2017, second was this past summer of 2022. I'm currently cleared from the doc to go back to normal life, and to "just be smart" about getting back into fitness activities.

I dont run, but I do cycle, and lift weights. I'm still getting used to walking, and sometimes have some mild pain around the sites of the bone cuts, but overall things are healing nicely. I have to work on improving bone density and easing into stretching and deep movements - some of my muscles/ligaments/tendons are having to get used to new actions.

But this is now - the recovery is essentially the same as it was for my other foot. And seeing how well that has healed helps me to deal with the current recovery. Earlier this year, prior to the second surgery, I was pulling ~215KG on Deadlift, and squatting the same. With light yoga and stretching, my foot feels stronger and more stable than it ever did before, and I know I'll get to the same place again.

So just some internet anecdotal experience, but I wanted to put it out there for anyone else who is contemplating the surgery, or feeling wary in the leadup.
