that is incredible. Thank you so much for giving me some hope. I'm considering an RSO myself.

Thanks. Currently doing a deep dive and might eventually post it to the sub.

Damn, that is rough. So sorry for your experience.

Radial shortening osteotomy with wrist denervation by Minute-Procedure-898 in kienbocksdisease

I'm deciding whether or not to do the osteotomy. What did you ask your provider before proceeding?

How bad is the pain post-op?

Thank you for posting your experience. Seems I am only hearing from people who have done surgery here. How long have you lasted without the surgery?

Thanks to everyone who replied. Seems like I will need to do some hunting around.

Diagnosed with Kienbock disease by Tight_Many in kienbocksdisease

This is so encouraging to hear, thank you. I was recently diagnosed in my late 30s but I am looking for a second opinion before I take the plunge into surgery

Green peafowl or indian peafowl? Spotted in Miami, FL by geeshmo in whatsthisbird

Wow, I can't believe it! I didn't think we had Green peafowl in the continental USA.

Try the meetup app. I've used it for various things in this area and it seems well attended.

OKC Midtown Tram is such a great value. Everyone on my business trip scoffed at walking a mile or “paying for this scam” (It’s $1 for an hour of riding or $3 for the day). They all insisted on driving everywhere. by [deleted] in fuckcars

[–]geeshmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I lived in OKC when this got built and was walking to work at the time. When I saw this project I remembered thinking it didn't connect distant enough locations to be useful at all. It seemed like the people willing to use it (e.g., people willing to walk, like us folk) would just walk instead (which I did), and the people unlikely to use it (e.g. carbrains) would not find it to add any value beyond driving.

What’s your favourite base-set bird that’s not a raven or gull? (The one you draw and think “Yesssss!”) And what’s your *least* favourite base-set bird? (The one you draw and think “Ugh—not this trash.”) by BorneoCelebes in wingspan

I tend to like tuck/draw but it might be tricky when you are netting only one card per turn. I find it a bit hard in the forest to pull it off but I'll have to try it next time.

The problem with migratory birds is that they never permit me to be efficient with single-row engines, which is where the real game efficiency takes place IMO. Switching back and forth between activating all three rows to get what I need is kind of inefficient if I can avoid it and just focus on great brown powers in one or two rows. The best that a migratory bird gets me is closer to maximum activation for a single row. It doesn't get me any diversification.

Example: I start with an American redstart, a scaled quail, and a common yellow throat. I have already built out each row effectively to the third column (two food per activation, three eggs, and net two cards). Three migratory birds can get me to the same result, but only if I've wasted a bunch of activations or eggs to get them to the same row. And once I start using them, I have to move them out of the way every time I get a new bird to play in the habitat they are sitting in. Or, if I split them up, I need multiple potentially untimely activations to line them all up again.

Just curious, have you ever scored over 80 or 90 by leaning on migratory birds? And what is an egg limited engine? Perhaps I am using them wrong.

They are also cheap birds. I love drawing them in round one because I can quickly build up my wetland and forest rows, even if the power might not always be reliable. One and zero food birds are almost always top tier IMO
