If something like that happens now , I'd be making sure to take my time to rest up and get as much better as possible. Mind you I'm only 24 but still! |
Sorry 25 |
In my case, though the memory has faded over the years, I know what my kneecap looks like minus all the skin. Could see the bone. >_< |
Got lots of neosporin, and about 2 weeks after it finished healing (a few months later in total), I received a cane from a relative as a gift to help with the recovery. lol |
Damn ! And yikes |
Lots of skid marks on knees but never got to see the bone ! |
But that being said , isn't it amazing how much we can heal ourselves through natural remedies |
Yeah, it was pretty bad. I was running along a gravel path, tripped, and fell onto the larger sharp stones lining the path. |
Ouch |
Sounds like one of those falls where your on the ground for 10mins in agony before you can gather the confidence to get up |
Yep pretty much. |
Though I was lucky enough to have adults around me in a hurry (when they heard me screaming), and they got me inside quickly. I don't remember much of the treatment, besides that it was right there in the house, involved lots of neosporin straight on/in there, and then bandages. |
Absolutely should have ended up at the hospital, but I'm years too late to ask anyone what the hell that was about at this point. lol |
I slipped and fell down a cliff once while swimming and upon hitting the bottom looked down and realized I sliced my foot open on a rock . Good 4inch long deep cut , left a mile long blood trail down stream for everyone to follow LoL . Most would have gotten stitches for that cut , I just took some tree sap and a large bandage, changing it out and reapplying tree sap every day till it healed in about 2weeks |
Now I've learned about styptics, which is basically dried plant material like yarrow and plaintain to stop bleeding quickly |
Dang |
I've never gone that far down the natural remedies route (not knocking it, just to be clear), but I do think that some of my upbringing rubbed off on me, in terms of not taking injuries *that* seriously. I've freaked out coworkers by getting cut, then just like, wrapping it in a paper towel and getting back to work. <_< |
No injuries that *I've* considered too serious, but I've unnerved coworkers in multiple jobs with that at this point. |
Hehe it's a good thing and it all adds up to toughness of character reminds me, of my school mate got a small cut in the school workshop and the teacher started freaking out and talking about tetanus shots and all that , meanwhile my school mate was more scared of the teacher freaking out than the cut lol |
He just went to the bathroom got some paper towels like yourself and voila |
Now there was this one time I bored out a chunk of my leg down by my ankle with my bike sprocket! Got 18 stitches for that one . Cut off a blood vessel. Boy did it ever Sting when they squirted the water jet in there to clean the grease out . That's why chain guards are important! |
*Ouch!* |
I've thankfully never experienced that one, but you're not alone. That injury is common enough that there's a trope of getting a tattoo of a bike sprocket pattern to cover the scar. lol |
I don't have any tattoos, but said if I ever do get one it will be one with meaning! LoL |
Yeah, same here. |
My dad was a tattoo artist. Always wanted me to follow in his footsteps, which I didn't. |
To his credit, he never *really* pushed me to get a tattoo, but I could tell he was disappointed that I was slow to get into it. I'm just not interested in getting one unless it has meaning, and I haven't found that one for me yet. |
Same way I feel , I have close friends who are caked in tattoos and all of them have meaning to them , It was just something I never gotten into I guess , or it takes more for something to mean something to me |
I think the latter is where I'm at. Got nothing against tattoos, but my bar for "I want to be reminded of this thing, via it being on my body, for the rest of my life" is sky high I guess. |
Just like your ex girlfriends name üòú lol |
Good thing they can be removed I guess |
Otzi the iceman gave himself tattoos with a bone needle and charcoal ink |
My dad loved doing names, because it meant repeat business. <_< |
Though even he would try to talk people out of *really* bad ideas, like getting the name of someone they literally just met. |
Damn |
Some people must have had a body full of names lol |
Or just kept replacing the names , or learnt there lesson after the first lol |
I've seen people who, instead of getting names covered up, would just get the previous name crossed out and the new one tatted right under it. There were some long lists. lol |
Dayum LoL |
I have a cousin |
Who has her BF name , but was considering cheating on him this summer |
Some things just no make sense |
Yeah I don't get that at all. |
On multiple levels. lol |
IIRC, the weirdest tattoo my dad has done (or at least, weirdest he'd tell his kid about) was a cat's full-detailed bum on a woman's shoulder. |
Apparently she had to visit the shop multiple times attempting to convince my dad to do the tattoo, before he finally relented. It was a specific cat, with photo reference of the bum in question. |
I have a confession about tattoos, people with tattoos on the front of their face , I have a general uneasy uncomfortable feeling around them . I had someone tell me before, why don't you have any tattoos? Identify yourself! |
That reminds me of something! |
Yeah, face tattoos weird me out. But like, in a circular logic sort of way. |
If society had no problem with face tattoos, I wouldn't either. But *because* face tattoos have that societal connotation, a person who chooses to get a face tattoo is choosing to be perceived that way. Which makes me uneasy. |
I'm gonna remove that pic due to it being borderline NSFW, but I totally get why you posted it. lol |
Funny thing is I had to retake the screenshot because it wouldn't post in the first place (explicit content) lol |
lol |
It's an amazing picture. I hate it, but I'm happy to have seen it, if that makes sense. |
That makes sense , there is a few more that showed up in the search too |
lol I wish I were surprised |
When tattoos turn into cattoos lol |
lol yep |
IIRC, my dad discussed the possibility of other cat poses with that customer, but she wasn't having any of it |
Oddly weird |
I wonder what was the significance |
It was something to the effect of, this was her cat that had passed away recently, and she had lots of memories of the cat pointing its butt at her, so that's specifically what she wanted tattooed. There might have been more to it, but it's been over a decade since I heard the story. |
I can see that working |
The thing is though, the finished tattoo did not include the cat's face. Just ass. lol |
I can only imagine lol |
can confirm this assertion |
Bit wobbly. |
Just a touch |
First time truing a wheel. This wheel has a missing spoke (it’s why it’s still kicking). |
Only like 4 wheels to check a whole lot more stuff to do. |
Soon (tm) I’ll get more than 1/4 of my bikes working. |
well that wheels radially and laterally out of true |
also once you lose spokes it messes with the entire tension and more will eventually fail unless replaced |
The rim might even be bent. It’s still a leader bike from 2001 that probably didn’t got much attention. |
My bike irl |
Mainly where the missing spoke is. |
just tension it with some steel cable |
It's just my spare bike, gonna buy a spoke for it tuesday. Also I absolutely despise the derailleur hanger type, no matter how hard I clamp it, it just slides off. |
what?.. |
Generally derailers have a screw too.. |
It's that one type that uses friction to stay in the wheel slot. |
Yes there’s a screw with a weird flanged half round nut. I thing that flanged nut doesn’t really have that much flange. |
Still shaking a bit (it was only 65psi and the tire contained the blast). I guess I need to be more careful storing tubes. |
had that happen at 50 psi on a bm,x tube |
Damn, worst I amanged was to bulge the inner tube and the tire once on my moms bike before pumps with pressuregages |
Also had this. |
*A while ago when I went over my mom’s bike. |
Looks like a large intestine |
*in the case you have seen a "short intestine" to compare* |
Yes the m365 batteries are of decent quality but they use (how do I put this?) less efficient(?) cells |
I have never had to change out a bms |
But I wouldn't buy them again if I had to do this all over again |
I had to use two of them in parallel just to get any decent range plus it shut down my system if I tried to use one battery when the motor was in use |
Can someone help me what happened to my EV charging adapter for those chargepoint stations? I was charging my bike with my 5a charger and the station would turn off every half an hour and say "are you done charging" (says that because such low (5a) draw from charger ) , so i had to start up the station again like 3 times to charge for 2hrs , anyways on the last charge I heard a loud pop noise and seen smoke coming from my charger . Immediately unplugged it and later upon examination it appears where the positive wire touches the circuit board was fried. |
Do you think it was some kinda surge from the station after it shuts off ? |
Also , I haven't examined my adaptor yet , but do you think it may be fried too ? |
Guess I'll just have to try it next time I go to the station. |
Chances are your charger output fried (went short), prob not due to the charging station since it just gives you 240v |
Doubt the adapter would be damaged. |
Sweet, gonna try again with my 10a charger soon then ! |
