  3. On its surface, that looks like a multi level fusion at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels. I'm a little thrown off because I don't see a spacer and usually that low, they take use an ALIF approach so he should also have the pedicle screws from the front. This was likely because the two discs were either extremely degenerated or, more likely for his age, he had repeated herniations at those levels that were inflaming his nerve roots. basically, all of you that have had sciatica, multiply the debilitating pain by 1,000,000. This is effectively the same type of procedure i was referring to in my post on the first page and UHC denied me for about six months. i had to navigate the greatest collection of appellate labyrinths that were clearly designed to dissuade the policy owner and make them give up. i never thought about murdering anyone (other than myself) through the process but as i said on the first page, the chris rock "i understand" meme would apply if my speculation that he had to go through a hellacious process for months on end while in an extreme level of debilitating pain. If one infers that he got the procedure done from that social media profile pic, i wonder if they denied the coverage post-op. that would be weird given that most surgeons/health care companies aren't stepping into the o.r. without pre-approval. but who knows, he may have had someone else go through it or something else made him snap. that said, for the six months i was fighting with them, i would be lying if i did not say i felt a great deal of hostility towards every single person from uhc that i had to deal with including the preliminary litigation process.
  4. unfortunately he won't have lines pissing their pants trying to double murphy and sweat to free him up but i agree, that is how i see pk utilizing him in the early opportunities.
  5. very exciting news and a position of need. so much of our defensive success the last two years has been predicated on the development of mature defensive tackles that have dominated the middle of the field and effectively taken away the traditional inside running game entirely. i expect that he will get on the field very early in his career (given we have like one dt that's not a 5th year senior or a freshman) but hopefully terry has the wisdom to see how it has played out for those with patience with sweat, collins, broughton, and (to a lesser extent) murphy. pretty excited about the defensive recruiting class. great work, staff. now a shocker offensive line stud please?
  6. i would suggest michigan or ucla.
  7. probably from you saying: that is different than what i said. as i said, you were loose with your language but it matters. gain is not the same as volume...particularly on a tube amp. and distortion certainly is not.
  8. is there anything that your don't genuinely have the absolute worst taste in? you talking about this fucking guy? his posts on 1/6/21 are rather choice.
  9. like i said yesterday dude, if you are playing and practicing guitar and enjoying it, i have no criticisms to offer of how you spend that time. do your thing. all joking aside, while i am not a great guitarist, i am a reasonably competent one. and to any beginners that are utilizing this thread as a resource, i think it is important that they understand that there is an enormous difference between someone advocating for practicing their practicing/playing a clean signal loud to better reveal opportunities to improve their technique (which is a totally valid point) versus someone advocating for practicing/playing with extreme levels of gain and distortion on the signal chain to reveal those same issues. you are going to substantially hide your weaknesses (particularly in chords) in that context. speaking at even the most basic levels, playing a traditional b or f chord and making it sound good on an acoustic or a clean tele plugged into a huge tube amp turned up to 10 is substantially harder than making a b or f sound good with the same guitar running through a tube screamer, a distortion pedal, and a fuzz pedal to an amp turned up to 10. while hyperbolic with my application of penile scenarios, it wasn't that far off. with that signal chain, you can just slam your hand against the neck and it can sound like "hell yeah." perhaps you were just loose with your language and all you meant was practicing loud can more easily lead to identifying weaknesses and improvement which i 100% agree with. but there is a difference between that and practicing with a thrash metal signal chain in order to identify nuanced technique issues. do your thing. make some music.
  10. like i said, do your thing...whatever is fun for you and helps you improve. for my part, i'm going to go practice my paradiddles on my snare with yarn tonight.
  11. so, if i have this right, you're attempting to practice and play clean, legato guitar phrases and expressions with gain and distortion pedals on thrash metal levels? you're trying to play eric johnson and mark knopfler's music with david mustaine's signal chain while retaining its clean melodic expression? you know what's really hard to do, man? play a violin with a drumstick. have you ever tried that? i mean, i think i have the col legnos, spiccatos, staccatos, and ricochets down but you have to be world class exceptional to get a good detache, sul tasto, and legato bow strokes to make that stradivarius sing like an angel with a drumstic for a bow. for my next trick, i will train myself to reach art blakey levels of jazz drumming by practicing with q-tips.
  12. i wonder what cops in vermont do all day. investigate maple related crimes? subaru thefts?
  13. i guess his mom must have talked to jamarcus mcfarland about the ladies romancing each other down here in austin or something?
  14. someone talk me out of laying a fortune on wolves to draw or win +9000. everton currently up 3-0 in the second half which means it should be 3-3 in about 15 minutes.
  15. taaffe's pick was a big one in this game and a great play...but the play that he made against the agros that stood out to me was on the first drive - the only one tamu had all night - there was a 2nd and long run where our dl had its worst containment moment of the night and there was a huge tract of land for reed to run in. taaffe was the only one to fill the space and he did a phenomenal job of fundamentally breaking reed down in the open field for the tackle that turned into a 6-7 yard gain instead of what would have been a 15-20 yard gain. i think that play stuck with reed through the night and made him a little less confident about running upfield when chances presented.
  16. he's losing that in two years regardless according to the florida constitution: "No person who has, or but for resignation would have, served as governor or acting governor for more than six years in two consecutive terms shall be elected governor for the succeeding term."
  17. if you've never used your erect penis to barre while playing a nice little c minor chord progression from a Cm into an Bb back to an f, you're just gettin' busy dyin'.
  18. i had to wait six extra months for my spinal fusion because of uhc's denial bullshit. claimed the dr's admin did not fill out form correctly and was denied and then when doing the appeal, they said they could not do a peer to peer review with the surgeon because...it was on appeal. had to file a different appeal through a different process with an entirely new mri and a bunch of other bullshit. that infuriating labyrinth of nonsense makes me read this news and immediately recall the meme of "i'm not advocating for it...but i understand."
  19. i don't know if this is just your regularly scheduled insane rimbo stuff or if you are just drunk but wtf are you talking about? extremely high gain/distortion means you can basically just do whatever the fuck you want to the guitar including just slapping your dick against the neck and it is just going to sound like you're rocking out. things like fucked up barre chords and more exotic chords sound a thousand times "better" in that scenario then with a clean signal chain or an acoustic.
  20. well it was a surprise that wiley signed with miami and not texas. happy?
  21. i think sharma has something set for 4:30 this afternoon, right?
  22. problem was both of those drives ended in turnovers.
  23. also, the two games that uga lost this year was wearing white jerseys and they wore white in the seccg last year in the loss to bama. hmm. that said, almost all of our best memories since 2000 are in all white. 2004 rose bowl, 2005 ohio state, national championship, 2008 ou game, 2011 aggies, 2018 ou, 2018 uga, 2022 and 2024 ou, 2023 big 12 champ game. unfortunately, white was also loss in 2009 champ game and playoff semifinal loss last year. orange really only has 2008 fiesta bowl, 2013 ou beatdown, 2015 ou upset. on the other hand, lost the 2018 big 12 champ game in orange. also lost big non con home games in 2006 to osu, 2019 lsu, and 2022 bama. also wore orange in the borderline erotic arkansas texas bowl humiliation. god the way my brain works is so stupid.
  24. florida and vanderbilt need to be switched (and LSU and agros as well) on there if they are actually talking about week 14 and not cumulatively. vanderbilt cratered and florida is rolling.
  25. can't do the transitive property stuff in cfb this year. cfb is too fucking whacky this year. if so, oklahoma state did not win a single game in the big 12 this year (bonkers by the way), but they beat arkansas who beat tennessee who is 3rd in sec and beat bama who beat georgia who beat texas. it's all a bit silly this year. that said, there really is not a team in the big 12 this year that i would be particularly angsty about playing. november asu and september byu would be the two teams that would be the least comfortable going into the game but the rest of them would be an assbeating in my estimation and i would rather play those two teams right now than south carolina. regardless, i would happily take games against indiana or penn state (at home) first and foremost above anyone.
