A new study released today in the Journal of the American Medical Association details James' remarkable recovery from the groundbreaking 21-hour surgery in May 2023. "The goal for us was to have him blend in and be another face in the crowd," Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez, chairman and professor of plastic surgery at NYU Langone Health, tells PEOPLE. "The results are phenomenal. He looks fantastic and it's functioning really well." https://people.com/aaron-james-world-first-face-and-eye-transplant-recipient-one-year-later-exclusive-8708316 In June of 2021, James was away from his Arkansas home on the job in an elevated bucket near Tulsa, Okla., helping to transfer wires to a new electrical pole when he hit his face onto a live wire while holding a neutral wire. The shock of more than 7,000 volts of electricity shooting through his body blew off his thumb and burned him from the inside out.

@taiwan_girl said in The Grey Dog Runneth Not...In Chicago...: what is the longest bus ride you have take before? From Chantilly, VA to Orlando, FL Westfield High School Band trip to Disneyworld chaperone 860 miles each way 16 hours each way Wednesday evening board the bus Thursday AM arrive at Disney perform/compete, PM check in to hotel Friday AM check out, PM collect the trophy, back on the bus Saturday AM arrive back home 2 nights on the bus, 1 in the hotel Awesome trip, I'd do it again

Of course people are in favor of it. I am surprise the number is not even higher. LOL Now if they asked, "are you in favor of taxing Social Security, and to pay for it, we will increase the retire age to 80 years old..........." I wonder what the answer would be.

Okay. I agree with what he is saying.

@kluurs I agree. Doesn't make sense to try and challenge the police at that time. (Not sure if that was the case here - did not watch the video) But in general, good advice.

Actually, this has been in play since 2014, if not earlier. I guess this just makes it official: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/09/13/kremlin-revives-soviet-style-youth-indoctrination-as-it-eyes-forever-war-with-ukraine-and-the-west-a86367

The stories they could tell...

Insane

@Renauda said in Trump says no.: I find Bill Maher of late not at all off the mark in his acerbic rants on the absurdity of the current North American culture wars. Beyond that, I don’t know. I only see what’s posted or linked here. For most part I do not relate to any of its urgency and therefore pay only passing attention to the “in your face punchlines” and subsequent laughs and cheers given to the hosts. Yep. Much noise signifying nothing. Preaching to the choir.

What a crock of shit.

Usually moccasins. But as for walking in the house...If my boots aren't muddy, I wear 'em.

@Mik said in Sweden to offer ‘remigration’ checks: @Doctor-Phibes said in Sweden to offer ‘remigration’ checks: @89th said in Sweden to offer ‘remigration’ checks: My point being... the world has forever been tribal and only relatively recently are we seeing an influx that's mixing the pot. We used to call it colonization rather than immigration. I'm still busy doing it. More accurately re-colonization. But keep at it. Persistence pays off. I'm busy putting the colon into colony.

Cooper, you devil…a rascal you are.

@bachophile said in Fish Survival: While on the same topic…. https://www.thestate.com/news/nation-world/national/article292380179.html I wonder if he's feeding the fish to all the cats he's saved. I've heard the entire first floor is covered in pussy.
