Hi all - I've a slightly odd request.
Would you recommend anyone who could replace/repair a zipper on a motorcycle jacket? I've a perfectly good Alpinestars jacket that has a zipper that's splitting open.
(I'll wait for you all to get over the pot belly jokes)
I'm in the Woking/Guildford area (South East England) if that helps narrow options down.

Hi all. I posted in the past — trying to refocus my request. I’ve only ever owned used bikes, and my track record is pretty shitty: tons of repairs, tons of surprises. I was only buying bikes in the $2k - $4k range and got what I paid for. It’s exhausting and discouraging (and unsafe).
Looking for a super reliable bike (Japan?) that is good for the NYC (potholes, uneven roads), got ABS / smart motorcycle stuff, and enough power for two riders (love to try going a little out of the city). Probably something more upright, that has room for a top case or saddlebags. Would be nice to be able to leave my helmet with the bike and know it was safe.
…cheaper the better? But also seems like new bikes start at $8k min.
Thanks very much.

The week and weekend leading up to Memorial Day was not as quiet as expected. Our clinic buzzed with last-minute occupational testing, worker's comp cases, and unexpected injuries so severe that I thought we might transfer the patients to the ER. Luckily, only one or two fit that category.
Patients are still waiting too long to seek treatment. We saw a patient with a dislocated shoulder that suffered for a week before seeking treatment. More cellulitis patients arrived. I caught an article about it written by - of all people - Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie). If you are ever in a position where a relative is refusing treatment for a severely red and inflamed limb, show them her article:
https://parade.com/news/little-house-on-the-prairie-melissa-gilbert-er-horrifying-bug-bite-instagram-photo
That article should be enough to convince them.
Eye infections, styes and chalazions were up. No bilateral (both eyes) infections showed up.
Sinus pain and pressure were common complaints, with just one or two reporting yellow or green "alien" mucus.
On the Covid front, I heard they had three Covid cases on Monday, but we had just one or two this week and weekend. This may be due to the fact that most patients are now refusing COVID testing. The vast majority of them ask for Strep testing, and only a few resulted positive for Strep A. The rest were put down to "unknown virus", or "viral syndrome" (in the very young). To say that I am disappointed that so few chose to Covid test is an understatement.
Of course, one of those positive cases was given to me to discharge, and to my great relief she was at least directed to wear a mask as she sat at my desk. The problem? She leaned into the window so closely that I nearly felt the need to back myself away. I resisted it, knowing that the cloud of viral aerosolized particles was not directed toward me; but I hastened her paperwork and excused myself from the scene as quickly as possible. Sometimes it's better to just let the air clear, so to speak.
None of my coworkers are wearing masks anymore, not even my fellow front office workers. I overheard a conversation between a supervisor and some unidentified person (I don't eavesdrop, but when my name is mentioned I tend to pay attention). It seems they were talking about how well the dropping of mask-wearing was going. I was mentioned as being "proactive" versus everyone else, and that things seemed to be running smoothly...but I am not entirely of that opinion. In fact, I was somewhat angry that I had been singled out as a representative of a class of people; it had a ring of political side-taking even though the words were carefully chosen.
Several patients who were obviously ill with respiratory ailments refused to mask. I insisted, prompting scowls and grumbling, but my coworkers gave up, and said nothing. This in turn caused other patients to insist upon waiting in their cars. The divide between patients who just don't care about spreading disease and those who don't want to catch any seems to be developing quietly. While some people won't wear masks, they are still interested in separating themselves from obviously sick people. I do wish they would understand that Covid can be carried by even "healthy" looking people. Three years in, and they still haven't received the message.
When I look out over the crowd of unmasked patients, I see vulnerable seniors, babies, pregnant women... I feel that our signs should say, "Enter at your own risk."
I had a conversation with one of our doctors about Paxlovid when a middle aged couple came in asking for it due to symptoms (feeling "Very sick, nauseous, with a fever,") and a positive COVID test. I prefaced my question to the doctor with, "As I am sure you have heard that the FDA formally declared Paxlovid a safe and effective treatment for COVID," and then followed up with, "Are you now of a mind to consider writing a prescription for it, if the situation warrants it?"
His reply was curt, to the point, and had a somewhat annoyed and confused tone: "I have never written a Paxlovid prescription because...I cannot be sure of the patient's liver function." And that was that. No mention of a survey for the patient, no request for a test for liver enzymes...nothing. He went back to his paperwork, and I promptly directed the patient to the local CVS Minute Clinic.
Once again, I felt defeated. My own clinic, my favorite practitioners, too worried that someone might sue them, and too worried that they might cause harm - to act to give comfort. It distracted me that day. Just in case you're in a position where your provider is on the fence, here is the announcement by the FDA:
https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-oral-antiviral-treatment-covid-19-adults#:~:text=Today%2C%20the%20U.S.%20Food%20and,19%2C%20including%20hospitalization%20or%20death.
For those seeking COVID stats, I spent a couple of days compiling areas showing a rise in wastewater and hospitalizations:
Marion County appeared to have a rise in hospitalizations earlier this week. Citrus was also shown. I am now convinced that areas with shared hospitals are being linked, and the counties are not separated by geographical area.
Comparative hospitalizations for COVID treatment between this and last week:
Citrus: 13 new patients, a 62.5% rise, 2.50 patients per 100,000 (above the US average of 2.49). Marion mirrored this.
Indian River: 35 new patients, a 59.1% rise, 4.6 patients per 100,000.
Santa Rosa: 35 patients, a 94.4% rise, 4.2 patients per 100,000. Escambia, Okaloosa, and Walton were linked.
As a control:
Pasco: 130 patients, down 19.8%, 4.1 patients per 100,000.
We do seem to have had more COVID in Pasco, but it is slowly relaxing. That may be short-lived though, considering the holiday.
I have not included any other counties due to the fact that their levels were the same or reduced by a very small level. If you're in any of those fortunate counties, smile! (But still wear your mask.)
Wastewater Levels per the CDC show:
Levi: Significant rise
Alachua: Significant rise
Orange: Tentative rise, just beginning
All other levels were decreasing slowly or unreported.
Memorial weekend and Day will result in people getting together for barbeques, solemn ceremonies, and family outings....and you know more gatherings means more spread. I'll report what I see, of course.
For everyone still masking, keep it up. I've had patients confront me: "Are you comfortable in that mask?" I simply reply that it is the best thing that I can do to guard myself at the clinic....and at the grocery store....and on public transportation. Don't ever apologize. It's your right to stay healthy and happy.
For those dealing with Memorial Day as I do, in remembering lived ones lost to the wars, or just simply lost to time, I am with you.
Be safe, be masked, and be well.

"Attention! I have been granted special dispensation to use firearms in defense of Neotopia. Lay down your weapons at once!"
Before a perpetually peaceful world, when Neotopia was attacked by an evil force who wished to destroy all organic life, they needed a saviour. This saviour came in the form of the secret organization of the Super Dimensional Guards, and in particular Captain Gundam, A robot authorised to use any means neccesary to protect his world. While initially insisting on keeping his activities a complete secret, the actions and support of a local boy named Shute helped activate his Soul Drive, a special contraption in his chest that greatly increased his abilities. The two would work together in the newly formed Gundam Force, alongside Gundams from other dimensions whose homes had already fallen to the Dark Axis, seeking to protect harmony in the universe.
Captain Gundam, after being greatly injured, was later repaired and had some upgrades made to his exoskeleton. Besides from a new ultimate attack, it's unclear how much this affects his abilities otherwise. All feats obtained in this upgraded body are marked with 'UP' to distinguish them.

Strength

Striking

• Charges at Zapper Zaku and clashes shields with him, the two of them being even, before hitting him and striking him back a distance
• Strikes away Zakos

Lifting / Throwing

• Catches a small shipping container as it falls on him
• Tilts up Shute's workshop with one hand before pushing out his kite-like device, which was too large to fit through the door
• Throws Bakunetsumaru a great distance through a portal
  • With one such throw, Bakunetsumaru had enough momentum to slam into Tallgeese a distance after leaving a portal and send him flying high into the air

Other

• Clashes swords with Berserker Epyon, who had the power level of four different enemies combined
• Jumps up shipping containers
• Leaps up a distance

Durability

• As a Gundam, his 'innards are made of high quality Gundanium', a highly durable metal.
  • The SDG Base was suspended in the air by thick Gundanium cables and were completely unaffected by a Gundam's slashes (from his dialogue, he was expecting it to be a different metal suspending the base which he would have been able to easily cleave through

Blunt Force

• Struck by a small shipping container swung by a crane
• Has three small shipping containers fall onto him, one after the other
• After an enemy flies with him, creating a shockwave (which could be a sonic boom, given no other shown flight has this sort of effect), Captain gets slammed into the ground^UP

Explosive

• Blasted back from his gun exploding a distance away
• Blocks a missile from Destroyer Dom, destroying his arm and taking him out of the fight but considering it just a minor injury that can be repaired
  • It should be noted that, while this was a less severe case, this doesn't mean he can fully shake off losing limbs: A later fight which had parts of him dismantled left him in a critical state
• Struck with a flurry of exploding spikes^UP
• Hit by one of five energy beams which ultimately create a giant explosion, sending him falling to the ground, still conscious. It also broke parts of his Option Z armour^UP
• Blasted by an enormous energy beam that ultimately explodes, resulting in an enormous crater in the ground and a nearby ship being sent through the air. This explosion sent him into a workshop in a distant city, though all this broke him (his Soul Drive remaining intact) and he needed to be repaired before he could do anything
  • View of the distance between the fight area and the city

Other

• Falls a distance onto a fake cloud, presumably made out of metal
• Drops an unknown distance to the ground
• Unaffected by regular bullets
• Blocks a spinning blade attack which rendered the attacker a blur from hitting Bakunetsumaru, becoming impaled. This left him in critical condition, however
  • With a regular attack, this enemy could cut through stone and with the spinning attack, it overpowered Bakunetsumaru's cross slash
• Endures a long onslaught of regular bullets and energy bullets from a ship
• Gets struck out of the air by energy bolts and recovers before he hits the ground^UP
• With several other robots, helps stop a train that had broken off of its tracks before it hits a wall to a volatile storage area

Speed

Reaction

• Jumps over energy bullets
• While not fully conscious due to lacking his Soul Drive, intercepts missiles before they hit Shute with his head energy bolts
• Blocks an energy beam with his shield before it hits Shute
• Seems to parry gunfire from Zapper Zaku's twin automatic guns
• Throws Grappler Gouf in front of one of Destroyer Dom's missiles after it was fired

Movement

• Quickly flies in to rescue Shute before he's attacked by a nearby robot
• After shooting his gun, flies forwards to pick up two robots as they're thrown into the air, quickly placing them far away where they are unlikely to be affected by an upcoming battle
• Moves a great distance to Shute and a motorcycle Gundam after several train cars had been blown into the air, saving them before the train cars hit them

Other

• Spins his beam saber in his hand to deflect a volley of arrows
• Spins his staff to block a flurry of after-image punches
• Spins a staff to block bullets
• Matches Zapper in a rapid flurry of blows
• Exchanges a rapid series of weapon clashes with Zapper

Skill

• Throws his gun into the air before a clash, jumping up to grab and fire it after kicking his opponent away
• After devising a plan to make them line up, shoots through a line of flying devices from distance
• Shoots the blade out of the hand of an enemy Gundam from a great distance while flying at incredible speeds

Equipment

Gun

• Shoots through a swarm of tiny robot bugs and hits the ground in an explosion, blasting some robots into the air and taking out the landing leg of a nearby ship
• Pierces through a line of Zakos
• Splits an enormous energy beam in two
• With a redirected blast creates a large explosion which sends Zero, Bakunetsumaru, and Entango flying
• Shoots a slightly extended beam along the ground which afterwards turns into an explosion
• Makes an enormous explosion which sends robots flying great distances
• Seems to very slightly stagger the enormous Big Zam mech
• After being backhanded away, breaks and explodes, the explosion being large and sending Captain back
• Wields a different gun, one which fires energy bolts, post-upgrade^UP

Shield

• Blocks bullets
• Endures a large energy beam which melts his gun
• Blocks an energy beam which could create a large explosion
• Blocks the blast from a Big Zam's main cannon, which creates an enormous explosion around him, leaving him unharmed
• Can shoot a spike down into the ground
• Shoots missiles^UP

Beam Saber

• Kept on his back, and only takes the form of the hilt until activated
• Takes out Zako Soldiers with a single strike each
• Parries bullets
• Cuts a machine in two
• When wielded by Zero, cuts a large machine's arm in two
• Cuts clean through empty train cars
• Doesn't work underwater

Option F

An optional extra pack attached to his back while equipping his armour, giving him greater flight capabilities

• Gives himself an extra burst of speed to fly away from a dimensional crack pulling the Gundam Force in
• Shoots lasers from two blasters on the back
• The blasters can be removed to take the form of a staff, energy on both ends
  • Can extend to hit another Gundam back and away
  • Extends to an even greater length, embedding itself in a ship to stop him, Zero, and Bakunetsumaru from getting sucked away
  • Spun to block bullets
  • Can be turned into beam sabers if one half's cut away
• A seemingly early version took the form of a pair of rocket boosters attached to his arms while putting on his combat armour, gives Captain far greater flight capabilities
  • Has him fly at incredible speeds
  • Only have limited fuel

Option Z

In the final battle, Captain equips Option Z, an experimental jet-like add-on which takes the place of Option F.

• Has the wings damaged, but still allows Captain to fly^UP
• Has a pair of large rotary guns and two shoulder mounted energy cannons^UP
  • The guns shoot energy bolts, capable of destroying large launched spikes^UP
• Contains a large gun that fires a powerful beam, blowing up several large spikes fired through the air^UP

  • Does this on its own, before attaching to Captain^UP
• Has limited fuel^UP

Scanners

• Can 'see' an invisible bridge
• Sees enemies made invisible with magic
• Lets him lock onto a target after measuring the distance and trajectory for his desired shot
• Notes Shute's temperature and heart rate
• Makes him aware of the existence and location of nearby wormholes
• Identifies that Berserker Epyon has power level comparable to four previous enemies encountered combined, all of which had previously been absorbed by its sword

In-Built Equipment and Robot Abilities

• Shoots bullets from his head
  • Also shoots energy
• Arm-mounted missiles which create large explosions
  • Shoots energy from the arms^UP
• Uses his back jets to fly and help bring himself back under control while he's being hit by an explosion
• The top of his head can act as a flashlight
• Projects scenes with the top of his head
• Sends what he's seeing to base, though it's not stated which part of him is doing this
• The V on his head acts as a radio
• Can freely twist himself at his neck and waist
• Has feet treads which allow him to rapidly ride along the ground without moving his legs
• Considers losing an arm a minor injury simply because it can be easily replaced
  • As aforementioned, while this was a less severe case, this doesn't mean he can fully shake off losing limbs: A later fight which had parts of him dismantled left him in a critical state
• Has been upgraded to be more expressive
• Following his upgrade, can activate Hyper Mode (later referred to as 'V Attack' to shoot a powerful energy V from his head, destroying the Big Zam's giant missile and creating an explosion with it that blasted the Big Zam back through the air. However, this needs to recharge after use^UP
  • Combined with Feather Dragon fused Zero and Baku Shin armour wearing Bakunetsumaru to destroy a large robot hand which had previously been invulnerable to their attacks^UP

Soul Drive

The 'most vital unit inside of Captain Gundam', the Soul Drive activates in response to strong emotions of friendship with Shute. This massively increases Captain Gundam's abilities while active. While it's unlikely that his durability also increases in this state, such feats have nevertheless been included in this section just in case they do. He can sense what Shute's doing through his soul drive and even have it activated through his actions when he's nowhere nearby, with this actively healing him from a previously incapacitated and highly injured state. For the majority of the series he can only activate his Soul Drive when synchronized with Shute, but in the final battle he draws on his memories with him to activate it stronger than it had ever been before while Shute was trapped.
While he was still alive, albeit in an unconscious state after having his Soul Drive removed, based on Commander Sazabi's defeat it can be speculated that destroying it would instantly kill Captain Gundam.

Strength

• Slugs it out with Commander Sazabi, breaking off pieces of his armour
• Clashes a punch with Commander Sazabi, breaking it at the cost of sending his own arm flying off. They then clash with their remaining fists, this time blowing up Sazabi's arm without injury
• Uppercuts Zapper Zaku, sending him and his Zako Soldiers flying back into a portal
• After deflecting it with his shield, punches a giant laser back, sending Zapper Zaku and his ship flying back into the portal it came from in the process
  • Earlier in the episode, this beam created an explosion which resulted in an enormous crater and sent Captain Gundam, Zapper Zaku, and his ship all flying back a great distance
• Punches another giant energy beam, with the clash (at least after Zero creates a shield) destroying an enormous amount of stone beneath them
• Lifts and then throws small shipping containers with robots on top of them high into the air, when earlier he wasn't able to lift them off him at all
• Throws a barrier created by Zero, flying through the air faster than Bakunetsumaru's horse can ride him through the air, picking them up and almost getting them to a portal before it closed
• Combines with the power of Zero's Super Magical Violent Tornado and Bakunetsumaru's Tenkyoken to create a combo attack of incredible power, capable of sending a spaceship flying back
• Seems to share the power of an overcharged Soul Drive with Zero and Bakunetsumaru, both in their super forms, with the three of them charging through the body of the final villain, causing it to explode^UP

Durability

• Slugs it out with Commander Sazabi, having pieces of his armour broken off and one punch sending him flying back before catching himself with his jetpack
• Grabs Commander Sazabi's beam sabers with his bare hands
• Deflects Commander Sazabi's energy beam with his shield
• Blocks a giant laser by spinning his shield, then is unharmed by the resulting enormous explosion
  • Earlier in the episode, this beam created an explosion which resulted in an enormous crater and sent Captain Gundam, Zapper Zaku, and his ship all flying back a great distance

Speed

• Jumps up shipping containers he just threw into the air
• Weaves around a mass of lasers shot by Sazabi
• Stabs the ground to create an energy wave that deflects a nearby missile

Other

• While equipped with Option Z, seems to throw energy all around his arm while charging up a punch^UP
• Stabs his beam saber into the ground, projecting energy which repels a nearby missile and stops an enormous swan robot from stomping on him
• Hypercharges a motorcycle Gundam through his heel wheels, allowing it to race at great speed, ride on walls, and seemingly allows him to jump
• After grabbing them in his hands, overloads Sazabi's beam sabers and causes them to explode
• In the hands of Commander Sazabi, the Soul Drive was corrupted and used to inflict pain on all the robots in Neotopia
• On activation, breaks the various forms of control an enemy Gundam had instilled, including knocking out Zero and Bakunetsumaru, locking out the steering of their ship, and creating a crack in the force field the enemy had created around him and Captain
• Was seemingly charged up by the wishes of all the robots in Neotopia, which potentially worked towards his immediate revival once it was placed back in his chest

GunCar

An enhanced form first seen given to Captain while he was alive but unable to act fully consciously due to his Soul Drive having been removed, this form gives Captain a large amount of extra gear on top of his standard combat armour which, among other things, allows him to transform into a vehicle.

• Has a jetpack and an energy machine gun
• Fires an onslaught of missiles
• Transforms into a vehicle
  • Fires up a winch that covers a great distance before embedding itself in a metal surface and pulling him up
  • Shoots energy bullets from his head and missiles
  • Flies and, while charged with Soul Drive, surrounds himself with energy to crash into an oncoming Commander Sazabi, who had also surrounded himself with energy to charge at him. Their clash created an incredible amount of light and broke off Captain's extra armour, though Sazabi's armour was also damaged

Captain System

With his Re-Equip Ring, Captain Gundam can activate Captain Mode, using his Soul Drive to access the programming of all the robots in Neotopia. Like this, he deactivates the control devices on all of them, freeing them from the Dark Axis' mind control

• His data self gets repeatedly hit by a data version of a robot before getting struck back
• Identifies a program that did not originate from Neotopia, and can enter it
• Scans a firewall for a weak point and then attacks it, allowing him to travel further into a robot's defenses
  • After breaking through its various firewalls, causes all instances of a bug-like robot in Neotopia to deactivate before reprogramming it, causing it to restore life to anything they had previously petrified (though this was with the assistance of a Feather Dragon's feather and a token from the Dai Shogun of Order
  • It transfers this new programming to another variant of it in another world
• Communicates with people outside while his data self

Other

• Has a license for his gun
• Can't swim, but functions fine underwater
• Translates Bakunetsumaru's language
• Is programmed to treat any voice as the person it sounds like, even when he actively knows it's someone else

Hi all, thank you for taking the time to read this and share any advice you can give. I apologize for the length but I hope it's at least entertaining. This incident started a little under 4 months ago and I was a completely healthy 27 year old male.
It all started when I t-boned a car at 50mph on my motorcycle...five days after moving into a new house in a new state (Florida). I had just left work when this lady did what my friends and I call the Florida slide and attempted to go from a parking lot on the right, across 3 high traffic lanes, to a turning lane on the left in one fell swoop. She made it all the way to lane 3 before I t-boned and got launched over the top of her Toyota Corolla rental. She was obviously found at fault for the accident and auto insurance paid what they owed, however it wasn't much and definitely not enough to cover the totality of my losses. The impact snapped my femur in half and broke it in a few other places. I ended up with a titanium rod and screws in my leg but was extremely fortunate to come away from the situation at all, even more so with only one badly broken bone. The surgery went great and I seriously can't thank everyone involved enough. So far recovery is also going great aside from the mass amount of scar tissue that now inhibits my knee. I was in and out of the hospital in under 3 days.
My surgeon had ordered a few medications for me to go home with, one of those being a blood thinner (he did order it, it's in the records). When I was given my medications before discharge I received the other meds but was never given the blood thinner or told I needed one by any of the staff. Over the following 2 weeks at home I was quite light headed and extremely exhausted. I figured it was just a side effect of the trauma of having my femur smashed at 50mph and flying through the air over the car that cut me off as well as having surgery to repair the damages. Then one evening I got out of bed and crutched into the bathroom when I felt myself becoming very lightheaded. I tried to yell for my roommate but he couldn't hear me. The next thing I remember is waking up, my body weight being held by my crutches and good leg, hands leaning against the vanity wondering what just happened and how on earth I didn't eat the side of the bathtub. I notified my roommate, took care of business and went back to bed. Throughout that night I had pretty bad discomfort on the right side of my abdomen and chest, but not enough to warrant an emergency. I got a few hours of opioid induced sleep (I took my last 5mg oxycodone pill from the surgery). After I woke up the pain increased and I started noticing shortness of breath in the late hours of the morning. The pain was weird, it was like all the muscles on my right side were having spasms every time I tried to inhale. This is when my roommates and I decided to call the ambulance to take me back to the hospital. After some scans, blood tests, and painkillers, they found evidence of quite a lot of blood clots in both my lungs (Bilateral PE). The Doctor said my D-dimer levels were the highest he's seen in his 30 year career (I believe he said 128,000 ng/ml. Keep in mind I also had a lot of blood clotting from the accident). He immediately gave me a blood thinner via injection in my stomach and I waited to be transferred to a room.
While I was in the ER I was fully hooked up to monitors and saw my oxygen saturation was fluctuating between 80% and 100% (I believe this was partially due to my slowed breathing caused by the painkillers now instead of the pain). However, when I got to my room they didn't hook me up to anything so my O2 saturation, heart rate, etc wasn't being monitored which I found odd due to the nature and severity of my symptoms. That night was the absolute worst. The higher intensity painkillers from the ambulance and ER wore off and I had been taking Tylenol for a bit. The pain grew severe so I hit the nurse call button to ask for something stronger. I did and she ordered it and said it would be right up. Then I waited. And waited. And waited. For what felt like an eternity to me because at this point I was ready to jump out of the 3rd story window. In reality I believe it was 2-4 hours. During this time I was downright scared. My breaths were extremely shallow and painful and the muscle spasming/cramping caused me to stop breathing entirely many times and I had to fight to take a little bit of air in. The part that scared me the most was that nobody would have known if I passed out since I wasn't on a monitor. The night nurse only came in a couple times because I hit the call button. I was even allowed to take a stronger painkiller as soon as I asked for one but for some reason the doctor just never showed up until hours later. It took another hour or 2 of writhing in pain for whatever they gave me to kick in enough that I dozed off for a short time. I left this visit with a minimum 4 month prescription of Eliquis until they re-evaluate.
I didn't have health insurance at the time of the accident (I do now) and what I got from auto insurance covered the loss of my motorcycle and a tiny bit to help with medical bills. Nothing for loss of income, the rest of the medical bills in the past, present and future, or pain and suffering. Even with the self pay discount all the bills totaled in the hundreds of thousands. Luckily, the hospital is giving me a full financial waiver on their bill which is the biggest (probably because I have no money to give them). It hasn't been approved yet but is in the last step of the process. I still have plenty of other related and unrelated bills I need to pay that won't get waived. I can't go after the other driver because I already accepted the insurance checks for bodily injury and property damage. Neither do I want to as she's an unmarried mom of 3 with no assets and I don't want to screw up the lives of her kids.
Is it possible to go after the hospital for negligence in this case? Will it screw up anything with the financial waiver? Any advice is very greatly appreciated and thank you again for taking the time.
TLDR: Hospital didn't do standard practice and forgot to discharge me with blood thinners after surgery even though the surgeon ordered it. Caused blood clotting in both of my lungs, another trip to the hospital, and a lot of pain. Long term effects TBD.

About a week ago, I had a little issue with my exhaust pipe. I needed to remove it, which involved loosening the bolts between the pipe and the cylinder head. Unfortunately, out of the four bolts, I managed to pull out only one successfully. The rest were incredibly rusty, and their heads ended up breaking off.
Here's the thing: I called a workshop to get it fixed, but they have an insane waitlist of over two months. So now I'm considering taking matters into my own hands and fixing it myself. The problem is, I have absolutely zero experience with motorcycle repairs.
So, here's my question for you all: Do you think I should give it a shot and try to fix it myself? Considering my lack of experience, would it be wise to purchase a drill and a tap and die set and attempt the repair on my own?
I appreciate any advice or suggestions you may have!

I’ve been going there since I was born, and I remember the paint job inside used to be very different than what’s there now. I remember there being a woman on a balcony above the door, a man playing a guitar in a corner? and cockfighting roosters in front of the register. Then like 10-15 years ago, they had a fire, and repainted the interior to what’s there now. Does anyone else remember the old interior, or better yet have pictures?

Hi! I was looking for someone that would like to give me feedback on my project descriptions for the PMP application. I have struggled with them for so long and after reading this sub I think I have them kinda ok, but would be grateful for some assurance. :) Thanks in advance!
