If the lack of sensation was from lack of blood flow, it would mean tissues were dead, and you’d essentially be fucked. You would already be seeing other symptoms, and they aren’t pleasant. The amount of sensation loss from restricted blood flow returns quickly, or not at all.

What you’re dealing with is most likely from nerve compression. Two days is enough to see a doctor and verify that there’s nothing major going on, but typically you’re looking at a gradual return of sensation over days to weeks. Thing is, if it isn’t returning as it should, delaying treatment is a pretty bad idea. There’s limits to treatment to begin with, but sooner is better than later, you dig?

It’s a thing. In bed bound patients, it’s common enough that I’ve seen it dozens of times. They get a leg stuck through bed rails, and a nerve gets compressed, and then they’re all pins and needles, or without sensation for a while. In facilities, it’s on the staff when they’re in that position long, but in home health, you’ll show up and the patient may not have had anyone with them overnight, and that’s when our can take time to resolve.

But when it’s blood that’s restricted, it isn’t just sensation that’s an issue. You get discoloration as well. If that color doesn’t start returning to normal relatively quickly as soon as the pressure is gone, you’ve got trouble. People can and do lose limbs that way. It can actually kill you if left in place; dying body parts are not good for the rest of you. But

You didn’t mention anything about the skin being blue, or worse colors, so it’s unlikely that blood restriction is what caused the issue.

Nah, I ain’t mad.

It helps visibility, and tends to help build awareness of related communities.

Lemmy ain’t gotta be simple, and the fediverse really can’t be. There’s a degree of adaptation to the quirks of federation that takes a while to happen, and that’s one of the quirks. Someone crossposts, you’re going to see repeats. After a while, you get used to that and mentally filter it out. No big deal

Maybe? My family is from the southern Appalachians, but we’ve spread all over.

One ancestor married and had kids with a polish lady, and moved to Pennsylvania. So, that branch tended to marry with other polish descended people more often than not. Their accent is different from people I’ve known from Pennsylvania, which includes some of my wife’s family.

So I tend to believe that the polish american accent does exist. Thing is, I don’t know enough about Chicago’s history to even start to pick away at their accents and how they came about. But I would still say that if there’s been a significant Polish population there, it’s almost certain that there is one

You found what on my web history?!

Dude, you are so far over the top, I’m not sure if you’re fucking with people

Metallic and slightly of the sea

Well, a lot depends on your ability to either amass, or obtain ammo.

If you can afford to stock up, you can essentially pick what you want. 5.56 is popular for a reason, but 7.62 has advantages.

But, 5.56 and .223 may be easier to source if you’re not where your stockpile is. That’s the route I took in selecting a rifle because it’s going to be more realistic to find something to load up with if it’s crazy, and it’s perfect for my needs vs varmints and dangerous animals if excrement and air conditioning never meet.

Now, another factor in selecting your ammo choice (which tends to be more important than brands or even platforms, imo) is portability and firability.

If you go with a 5.56, you’re likely to be able to carry more than you would something like 308 that packs more punch, and you’ll be dealing with less recoil. If you have weight limit on the rifle itself, you can’t ignore the added weight of a full magazine, and spares. Since, again, that caliber is so popular, you can almost guarantee finding a lightweight rifle, and probably affordable, light magazines, which improves your ability to move as well as put bullets on target.

That being said, pistol caliber carbines exist, and have benefits too. A 9mm or 40 cal round is going to be okay, lightweight, and easy to source ammo for. There’s some that use the same magazines as glock does, so you can mostly freely use the same mags, same ammo and switch between a handgun or longer gun at will. They also tend to be less expensive than your typical 5.56 rifle, though that obviously has a lot of overlap.

And, a PCC tends to be very lightweight. I’ve got a neighbor with a kel-tec 9mm that, to me, feels like a nerf gun in my hand. Iirc, that’s the sub-2000. Decent gun, not perfect, but decent enough.

Well, understand this is subjective.

But, diabetic poop is probably the poop that is worst to clean up, depending on how well controlled their disease is. When it isn’t, the smell is like rotten fruit mixed with sewage. It’s also usually both runny and sticky when that happens, so it’s a bitch to get off of skin, and it gets into every nook and cranny.

You definitely run into infections that are going to have people spraying poo everywhere, and most of the pathogens that do it make the smell rough too. However, it tends to be so watery that it cleans up easy. C diff, for example, you might need a face shield, but it wipes up easy.

Nah, when you’re dealing with carbs as simple as sugars, they’re broken down and absorbed very efficiently. Some of it even gets absorbed in the mouth before you swallow. So the spikes from stuff that is that sugar packed it can bump up blood sugar levels high enough to throw your whole system out of whack.

Basically, it triggers a massive insulin dump into the blood stream, with all that entails.

And, since the body can’t use that much at once, it’s more likely to get converted to fat than smaller bumps.

Fats, compared to sugars, take longer to get broken down and absorbed. That process starts with saliva in the mouth, but doesn’t really get going until later. Iirc, you typically won’t be taking in any of the fats until it hits the small intestine.

Could be, but the text claims autism powers were activated, but I totally get your point.

Yup :)

I’ve had to clean up oreo poop lol.

A lot of older patients tend to get a “sweet tooth”, and they’ll go nuts on cookies and cakes.

Oreo poops aren’t the worst poops, but they look bad and are super sticky.

Yeah, but it’s also not meant to process a giant package of processed fats, levels of sugar we haven’t had time to adapt to, or the colorant used that is known to irritate the bowel.

Which is why folks that go on a cookie spree like that end up constipated or loose and crampy. Which, yeah there’s some folks that would be able to take a giant hit of junk like that without noticing it, but I’ve had to clean up the mess left by Oreos when patients would go crazy on them for one reason or another (often dementia, sadly).

No, it isn’t going to kill you, or send you to the hospital purely by the digestive side of things, but it can fuck up your day lol.

Also, you’re misrepresenting not only what I said, but what the digestive tract is “built” for. It doesn’t actually benefit from irregularity of diet. It can handle it, but eating a fairly stable, non irritating diet keeps both the gut flora and the associated hormonal products produced in the intestines at a reliable operation. The more you disturb the system, the less stable the system. When it comes to gut flora and serotonin production in the gut, high sugar intake disrupts in a way that can have lingering effects; anything from a day to a week.

Don’t mistake the difference between a varied healthy diet and shoving irritants down the pipes. They aren’t the same thing.

Ehhh, I’d say that, on average and for most purposes, spread out is better.

Less of a hit to your system. No big blood sugar spikes, which reduces the worst aspects if swallowing an entire package to the minimum it gets.

That being said, expect digestive issues to linger. You’ve got a lot of fats, the coloring, and the sugars playing havoc with your guts.

Expect to need a lot of tooth brushing unless you just enjoy having plaque and acid build-up messing with your teeth.

But I’d say that the risks of big spikes in blood sugar are higher than those risks. It could, in the right circumstances, kill you. And the way some of the more recent information regarding the role of sugar in atherosclerosis, and maybe other cardiovascular illness, is looking, every big spike is whittling time off of your heart more than a bunch of little ones will.

Look, let’s say I agree with that. I think your take lacks depth, but I’ll play along.

Yeah, those tankies suck.

But if you roll up to my house spitting rage and hate, IDGAF if I agree with the underlying principle, you’re an asshole, and I’m kicking you out.

The community you were in was just escorting you to the door for being obnoxious. And you were. You still are.

You have the freedom to have your opinion. You can even broadcast it anywhere you want. Once. Nobody has to let you back in the door when you disrupt a community with unrelated venom. It’s like some. Mormon coming to your door when you’ve got it open for a nice breeze and bitching about how much Jehovah’s witnesses suck.

It stinks up the place.

Well, I guess a nice jewish arm would also be nice, but the gentile ones don’t have to have the tip snipped

Sorry, the typo made me giggle

I’m with you! Supervillain origin story: go!

But, you want limits on what a piece of machinery strapped to you can do.

Ever see somebody lifting super huge weights, and the muscle just rips off and rolls up? Or someone carrying something huge and heavy (like my johnson) and take a step just a little wrong and bye-bye knee?

You get a mechanical arm, it’s gotta be hooked to you. If the attachment is something like a strap, it doesn’t matter what the arm can do, the strap is the weak point, and will eventually fail.

If the arm is grafted onto bone and muscle, guess what the weak point is. The arm can maybe lift a ton, but what actually happens is that either the ton just sits there while your arm pulls you to it; or, your arm pulls itself off of you in a spray of blood and gristle

Honestly, the first one of what would really happen if you were trying to pick something up. You don’t have the mass and stability to move something that heavy, you’ll get pulled to it.

But, let’s say you’re strapped to a crane by unbreakable chains. Then, pop-pop goes the shoulder right out of socket, tearing the flesh around it until the arm stops pulling.

Most likely, whatever would be translating your wishes to the arm would stop sending a signal after whatever connection broke, but if it was not done right, it would get ugly fast.

Exactly! My butthole puckered when I stripped it down.

Malarkey.

The whole point of lemmy and any forum like it is humans reaching out to each other, sharing thoughts and little pieces of themselves.

Yup, this is YDI. Minimum mod action, and you were being nasty in a community that isn’t set up to allow that.

So, I gotta ask, are you redantman in disguise? Because he had a habit of asking questions that looked silly and simple on the surface, but weren’t.

So, the first big barrier is that we don’t have the tech to make an arm that can exceed human levels of strength without damaging something. It also hasn’t developed to where the really strong options can fit into an arm sized package yet. Hydraulics can do crazy stuff, but you can’t pack it into an arm and get super strength.

The second barrier to having a limb that’s super strong is that it’ll rip itself off, or you’ll be limited to the strength of the rest of your body.

So, if you aren’t familiar, go look up “hang clean” on your favorite video site.

It’s a power lifting move, and it was my specialty, though I dabbled in the clean and clean and jerk some. Weightlifting terminology is weird lol

Point being, your max lift on a clean is not limited by your arms as much as you might think, even though you’d think that your grip strength is a hard limit. If you had a powerarm™ and did a clean, you’d still be limited my what your legs can do, right? That’s where you really explode from. Yeah, if your arms and hands are too weak, you can’t finish the lift, but having jacked arms ain’t gonna get the bar up

But it doesn’t stop there, where it’s obvious that the lower body is the limit.

Curls. Even single arm curls, you’re still using the rest of your body. The shoulder is engaged, the trap, pec and even lat on that side engage you stabilize and contribute to the lift.

And, that continues in a chain all the way down to wherever body is in contact with the ground. Weight machines can shorten the path, but only by putting you in contact with the ground via the machine.

You get CYBERPUMP ™ installed, and you’re still limited by whatever the bones and muscles it’s connected to can support. If you get too far over that, you could just end up with the

So you don’t want a super powered arm. You want a prosthetic that matches your overall strength levels. If you want enhanced strength, it would need to be all over, via an exo-suit, or something similar.

Now, the reason that your bro can’t get top end prosthetics that at least match as close as possible to a “natural” arm is that we live in a capitalist dystopia where we prioritize the profits of the few over actual benefit to the many. Not that an amputee would automatically get bleeding edge tech in an non capitalist world either, they’d end up on a waiting list until the very resource intensive high tech stuff was available, but still

Well, we don’t have any details about the interaction that led to the ban, so no way to be certain it’s a power trip

But, when someone is being that much of a dick in the removal note, it is definitely a red flag. Even if the ban is justified, that’s douchey as hell.

Edit: the comment is actually visible for me.

Go make a botnet if you want review bombs on command. We’re not here to help you with your petty issues.

While I definitely think some kind of mod action would be justified, since the comment that was made is dickish and unnecessary, responding that way just isn’t cool. It’s an extra layer of douchebaggery.

So, I can’t agree it’s power tripping, because the comment was definitely worthy of the action. If all you can do is pop into a thread and be a dick, a ban is totally justified.

But, this is definitely an asshole mod because of the removal reason. If you’re gong to be a dick as a mod, do it in the thread, in the open, and just issue the ban without the bullshit.
