It's 2012! January Picture Thread.
Is that the new device with the "undeveloped" bone cells for disc repair? How does the magnetic stimulator feel with it?
I haven't been measured yet, but from the pictures I would guess at least 1/2" taller. WIN!
No. It's exactly what it looks like.
Are you talking about TMS? If so, it isn't used for that. I think you mean TENS which isn't magnetic but electrical. I've not used a TENS but they feel exactly how you would imagine.
I can't decide if you're being "funny" or not.
You get one of these.
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
I know what a "TENS" unit is. I know the difference. I'm not being funny, I'm genuinely interested.
Okay then; I've no idea what you are referring to.
I don't know of anyone currently using "undeveloped" (stem?) bone cells or magnetic stimulators to repair bone. Developed bone works pretty well. Which is what I got; new bone from an old corpse, yay. Hence the titanium fusion plate and screws.
What's the deal with magnetic stimulation of bone then? Is it new? I've never heard of such a thing and can't find any reference to it anywhere.
As an aside, I haven't cracked my neck in months and I really want to, but I'm a-scared to on account of not wanting to get a screw loose. Ha!

Another one you mean?

I saw an x-ray similar to yours (braces and all) and thought it may have been the same procedure. Apparently it is a form of stem-cell treatment, the magnetic device is meant to speed up the treatment.
Couldn't imagine not being able to crack my neck. Right up there with not being able to gain erection after circumcision rule.
Hey, I know that place.

Tuffy, that looks pretty hardcore, and uncomfortable.
I have to get the "L"s removed next month.

Yeah. I just scrolled up half a darn page to figure out what the "L"s were.
As the only L's I saw were off to the side, Thank you. Making me scroll up.
Haha. I thought it was to do with Learner Plates.
Do you guys in the US or any where else in the world have those?
The big yellow and black "L" stickers you put on your car when you're learning to drive. Also known as Loser plates.
Here, we have a big piece of cheese attached to the top of the car. Or, at least that's what the plastic triangular piece on the roof is called around here. It usually says, "Student Driver" or "Driver Education - Student Driver."

In Michigan, you can tell which drivers to avoid because usually they have longer hair and breast. I don't know how it is in the rest of the country though.
Just one breast?
They are THAT dangerous.
If I had a monoboob, I'd be too distracted by my own sorrows to be give a fuck about whether or not I was drifting over the solid line, or through a red light, or bumping against your car.
But if it was a really nice monoboob you'd also be distracted by how hot your monoboob looks in your new blouse.
A few years ago, I participated in my high school soccer team's secret santa. To help with our gift selections, a team member wrote up a personality questionnaire. One of the questions was "Would you rather have an unpluckable unibrow or a plastic-surgery-proof uniboob?"
We all pretty much agreed that a uniboob would be the better option, by far. And that's proof that girls don't give a shit about what guys think as much as what other girls do.
Also, that was the best questionnaire I've ever questionated and I really wish I remembered more of it.
And yeah, the answer to that was absolutely essential when picking out which color and pattern combination of toe socks and genre of CD to buy.

I'd go for the unibrow and then have some laser hair removal.
And the mustache if I could have her talents too.
Other pics of her I like:
Also 
hehe
I can respect that. Pepper's a cheater though.
Yeah you can't laser off that unibrow, it's impenetrable.
I choose the uniboob and then fix it with magic!
Cheating's no fun.

How long did it take them to burn that one breast off?
Microgiraffe!

Breasts damn it! Two, not uni.
Apparently grammar fails me when I'm drunk...
no unibrowboob, but my hair is one uniform color now.
Also I hopped into MSPaint and combined Reddit's two favorite things.
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
How familiar are you with reddit's favorite things?
As a general rule, Ron Paul posts (all positive) top r/politics and the slightest mention of Arrested Development coming back creates instant frenzy. I wasn't being totally serious in saying THESE ARE REDDIT'S TWO VERY FAVORITE THINGS because I rarely use Reddit and frankly I think it's just an internet community where culture, reality, and intelligence go to die (with the exception of like, Neil DeGrasse Tyson AMAs). And again, the politics section, which I used to be interested in, has essentially become a shameless Ron Paul propaganda machine fueling the fire of the crazies.
sidenote: I love Arrested Development and Ron Paul makes me sad/scared.
WE NOW RETURN TO PICTURES! 2012 PICTURES YAY
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
With the utmost respect, I think reddit, like all places can't be judged in lump. It all comes down to the individual. The face value of the site is one of the things that community tends to complain about most. As inauthentic as the site as a whole may be, you're missing out on a lot. If you look at the internet as a whole, everything was dead before it went anywhere.
Are you putting a boot in my face?
just the one. 
at some point in the night I took a drunk picture of myself. the lighting did not look like this. why am I seemingly in hell?
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
This is what you get for drinking too much.
I find a lot of the reddit community to be very intelligent. And everyone uses proper grammar, which I love.

Every now and then, I come across something wonderful and engaging on Reddit. That is the only reason why I bother to check back somewhat regularly. But I still stand by my general idea of Reddit being a place where culture and depth wilt. Too many full ideas being expressed in memes and internet acronyms, too many assholes just trying to get a laugh. Also, if you look at maybe the 10 most popular subreddits, it becomes apparent that the majority of Reddit is kind of a boys' club.
This is my new fishy!
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
Is that a little fighting fish I see? It's so pretty!! I love how spindly it's fins and tail are.

Your new fishy is awesome, Sam!
yeah! Siamese Fighting/Betta fish. I love them.
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
That's so awesome, they last forever.
"The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition." - Carl Sagan
Yeah! Mine tend to last about two years, but they usually end up having to join me on at least two 200+ mile trips home which definitely stress them out and seem to shorten their lifespans 
. Someday when I have a real house and don't live in a college town where all potential fish-sitters also leave town for breaks, I will raise betta fish that live to be five years old. Count on it.
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
I thought you were referring to boyfriends for the first half of that post.
hahaha BOYFRIENDS DYING OF ROAD TRIP STRESS
Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
It happens!
I was just at H&M the other day and I loved that deer pattern. They also have a cute bunny pattern.
