Mm-hmm.

Mine also didn't really go beyond "uncomfortable." I was moving pretty gingerly for about a week, but I started light running again after two weeks, easy road cycling after three, and was back to normal gravel biking after a month. Probably could have done earlier but didn't want to push my luck.

One fun and one not-so-fun anecdote from that time:

1. I'm a music teacher and was about to start directing a student show showcasing the music of Elton John at the time. The doctor had a radio on, and when he finished up and pronounced the procedure complete, Tiny Dancer was playing. Something something just got rid of my Tiny Dancers. That song holds a special place in my heart as a result.

2. I got a lyft home from the procedure, and my driver had to stop at a gas station right after picking me up because she was pregnant and needed to pee. Apparently she had dropped out of college after finding out. I didn't tell her what I had been at the hospital for, as that felt cruel.

take me to snurch (snail church)

This is basically the second plot arc of Everything You Know Is Wrong by Weird Al Yankovic.

my dumb ass keeps reading it as "Circle Of Steel" and wondering what any of this has to do with Fallout

Call it paranoia if you want. Mainly I don't have faith in our economic system to deploy the technology in a way that doesn't eviscerate the working class.

In five to ten years, imo, AI will be everywhere and may even replace the need for mobile Internet connections in terms of looking up information.

You're probably right, but I kinda hope you're wrong.

it does have a very funny name though

no, that one doesn't look any different either

Do you have to commit the murder for it to be bad?

OK, you need to be walked through it every step of the way, then.

1. Akhil gives a gun to Omar.

2. Akhil knows Omar hates, to pick a threatened minority at random, gay people, and wants to kill them.

3. Omar shoots up, let's say, a gay nightclub. In, to pick a city totally at random, Orlando, Florida. And just for funsies, let's call it The Pulse. I'm sure this totally imaginary scenario bears no resemblance to any actual event, and no gay nightclub called The Pulse in Orlando, Florida has ever been shot up by a virulent homophobe named Omar Mateen. Pure imagination.

4. The judicial system would view Akhil as an accessory to murder in that instance.

Let me further introduce you to the concept of stochastic terrorism. Boy, aren't you learning a lot tonight! I'm happy for you.

But a whole lot of them would vote for somebody who has.
