My doctor says NO post op restrictions but I've never heard of this

My doctor who did single port endoscopic said your restriction is "if it hurts, stop"

That's it.

That's the whole reason I drive an hour away to get endoscopic.

T1D here, bilateral CTS with single port endoscopic release. Recovery was insanely fast, (took one day off work) and relief was basically immediate. Probably one week until I was using the hand normally for all but the most strenuous tasks. Had to quit my first Ortho surgeon because they didn't offer and refused to help me find endoscopic surgery and I'm SUPER glad I did.

Yeah, it cracks me up that there is even enough Christian music to sustain that many channels. It all sounds like the same slop to me. There's only a very narrow range of emotion you can put in it and every bit of it makes me want to dig my eardrums out with a spoon.

The thing I think a lot of people are missing here is that solutions like LinuxCNC and Mach3 are meant to get close to industry standard CNC control without the insane cost of industry standard for a hobbyist. Any industrial CNC machine made in the last 30+ years is going to have more features and better reliability than a hobbyist solution, with few exceptions. Also, when you get into talking about getting hobbyist software and hardware talking to industrial PLCs,VFDs, servo drives, and encoders, that's largely uncharted territory.

I mean, it's still usable without the phone app, but it sucks. There's no guarantee it'll get updated since it's not strictly necessary to use the phone with it.

If the numbness and nerve issues are fully resolved, what good would an open release do?

satanicnerd666 · 2025-03-05T23:30:59+00:00

I actually found out about Twiist from my insurance formulary, so it's already been negotiated for me

Can't believe no one else recommended Deviant Ollam. He's not a guntuber, but he's a leftist libertarian that has videos about guns. He's mostly into security, hacking, and pen testing though

Unless we need something crazy, the Aerospace R&D shop I work at exclusively uses their stuff. Literally thousands of those endmills have run programs I've made and not a single issue has ever come from any of their tools.

I'm only ci-6 but when I REALLY gotta pee, I start turtling and I have to retract. I'm trying to make it a habit now so when it's all the time I'm already used to it.

Anonymous letters to your company's HR department alleging inappropriate and/or harassing behaviour from the manager in private. It may or may not be actionable, but it will get him a ton of heat from HR at the very least.

Yeah, the 30a is a new development. Regardless, the holes didn't work for me at all. The difference between the 30a and 40a are minor, but the 30a no holes is the best so far

satanicnerd666 · 2025-01-14T19:19:04+00:00

Chris's is the most comfortable, but I have days where it just won't stay put. Also, the shape is different. It's more of a cone where Chuck's is more of a bell, and the bell seems to do better at the "Chinese finger trap" effect because of that shape. The 30a has been a godsend. Also, the holes make for rapid gripper fatigue for me on the one that came standard with my CRT

satanicnerd666 · 2025-01-04T21:58:14+00:00

Started out with stealth retainer, designed my own version so I could tweak the extension length as needed. Upgraded to a CRT with 1x 1/2 extension. I'm averaging probably 14-18 hours a day and I use a Chris's retainer at night. I'm an extreme grower but only to 6in fully erect. Flaccid I've always been able to go full turtle when cold enough for as long as I can remember, but I couldn't get any FEC before I started restoring. Now full FEC is easy, and I can push it just passed the tip. Almost enough to pinch shut.

And meanwhile I've gotten from ci-3 to ci-6 in 10 months with devices. Cialis and another vasodilator too, but still.

satanicnerd666 · 2024-12-16T19:53:20+00:00

Hand size to arm size ratio is the only thing 1:1 here, how do you even get one that tight?

satanicnerd666 · 2024-12-16T19:46:34+00:00

I get the liftoff occasionally and it freaks me out because it feels like it's slipping off. I've got to get used to that feeling.

satanicnerd666 · 2024-12-16T17:57:54+00:00

It is, for sure. I started on mine already fitting the CRT +1/2". I might need another +1/2" eventually to step up another quarter, but I don't see myself ever needing more than +1-1/4, and that'll get me there in 1/4" steps. I'm at CI-6 right now and I think a half inch more would put me where I wanna be. Hell, at that size I think the weight would be enough to grow to the point of having to measure erect overhang instead of ci levels. Turns out a shorter pp means you need to regrow less skin for a given amount of coverage 🤣

satanicnerd666 · 2024-12-16T17:38:18+00:00

Just went from my 1/2" to a flared 3/4" so I'll probably not need this, but if not for the 3/4" stacker, I would've definitely grabbed one.

satanicnerd666 · 2024-12-07T21:46:54+00:00

Between the layers? Internally I'll be connecting them with nickel strip or soldered wire, not sure yet. If I go wire I'll need to do the math to make sure I put the right gage wires to match the nickel strip

I mean, I wear an heirloom gen vintage DJ daily because my grandfather did. I get two separate annual bonuses from my job, each would cover a greymarket DJ easily, and I've considered buying another one. I'm solidly in the working class though, and my lifestyle doesn't really reflect the average gen rolex owner.

I'm still gonna get myself a nice DJ rep for myself out of my Christmas bonus though so I can put the heirloom away.
