My Father played the ER to Surgery Diverticulitis card on Christmas eve right as tons of family were showing up for the party. His was bad enough he ended up with a colostomy bag. No fun for anyone and getting old(er) does suck. I'm 51 and had cataract surgery this spring....If you hate the dentist you'll love when people poke at your eyes lol.
Oh and hope you feel better. Pain sucks and hospitals suck too.

If its any consolation. I know 3 people who have had diverticulitus in the last 2 years and in those cases it was a flare up thing that passes. Notable to me because my father's episode made me think it was always that bad. Seems random. My father was pissed he was not allowed to eat peanuts anymore. He showed them and ate them anyway.....with no further diverticulitus issues.
fiber is a problem with diverticulitis - it is scraping the area you want to heal.

This makes me pretty sad. My wife and I watched every episode of friends and it’s too bad this poor guy could never overcome the addictions and demons.

High fiber prevents diverticulosis from worsening to diverticulitis.

Hunters in Wawayanda, hunter number 2 holding shotgun aimed at hunter number 3 duh 😵
You should definitely sneak up on them in your Freddy Kruger costume and see what happens
I read this short article "Disc Brakes Took Over the Cycling World. Here’s Why That Was a Mistake."
www.outsideonline.com
And wanted to throw something at the monitor at how ridiculous it is. How amazing disc brakes are for riding. I couldn't imagine how shitty mountain biking would be with V-Brakes and how much better the cyclocross bike is to ride with hydraulic disc brakes. Anyone who says V-brakes were just fine aren't actually riding their bike.
I scrolled up to see who the fuck the author was, saw his name and thought how one of the last times I raced was against him and I was way faster and a good portion of that speed difference is how much faster I could go on the downhills riding on the edge with good hydraulic disc brakes.

So long rim brakes, we knew thee well

I was going to quote some of the dumber points in that article, but I couldn't narrow it down. I would agree that disc brakes on mountain bikes are more fussy than they should be and that adoption on the road hasn't been as clearly a "win" as on the mountain bike side. But there is no way in hell that you could pay me to go back to riding V-brakes.

He lives in NYC...
He got famous writing about commuter bike stuff under the Bike Snob pseudonym. He should stick to what he actually knows...
I purposely got rid of anything I owned with rim brakes during the Covid bikepocalypse and have no regrets. Perfectly working rim brakes on my road bike were fine, but discs are still better.
Oh yeah, THAT guy. I knew the name sounded familiar. I thought a lot of the Bike Snob stuff was funny (if ultimately super repetitive), but seems like a very limited perspective to be writing broadly about what's good/bad with modern bikes.

NJ MVC strikes again.
Made my appointment to register oldest sons new Mazda which is technically in my name.
Followed the email link to bring all the required documents and prefilled everything.
Had to have my son drive due to current injury 33 minutes to Newton because they don’t do out of state registration local to me.
Got there and the guy at the desk says where’s the title ? You’re supposed to have the title. I politely told him that’s not true since the Leinholder has the title.
He hands me a form that is specific to this MVC location and is not available online and says you need to send this form
To Leinholder and once they mail the title to MVC office then we call you to register car.
Why TF isn’t the customer told this beforehand. I swear these MVC people get hired based on how much they can reject people coming in the door.

Hope you feel better sooner.
