Disagree. I seriously doubt that anyone would turn the key. I don't think Russia could inflict enough losses to hurt NATO logistical operations and I think NATO would prioritize careful advancements to minimize casualties and give the Russian military a frog in the pot treatment. When they realize that its all over, it will be too late and I think we would see a russian revolution before then.

Glad I could help! Hopefully you are able to find the right shoe for you.

I work as an athletic trainer an get the question a lot. The absolute most important thing is that you are taking your rehab seriously. It won't make a difference in the world what shoe you wear if you blow off rehab and your arch and ankle aren't strong enough to support your weight.

In the short term you want to find a shoe that offers arch support and isn't too cushy. It should be comfortable but not have too much give. I saw someone else recommend On and that's a very not good idea. They're way too squishy because they want people to try them on in store and fall in love with them. But the softer the shoe, the harder your ankle stability muscles will need to work to keep your foot centered. To demo that, try standing on one leg on flat ground and then compare it to standing on a pillow or a piece of foam. Your tibialis anterior, peroneals, etc. will need to work wayyy harder on the foam. And you'll feel it after 30 seconds start to burn in your arch and lower leg.

My recommended brands are often Brooks, Saucony, New Balance, and Asics. In that order mostly, but it depends on your specific injury and foot shape. The key things to look at when buying a new shoe are:

• comfortable but still firm sole. Soft foamy soles will wear out and collapse quicker. Forcing your stability muscles to work super hard.
• Pick them up and see how difficult it is to twist them. It should help transfer energy from the back of the shoe to the front. If they bend and twist easily, they're too flexible.
• Walk in them. You should feel your foot make contact on the outer portion of the sole at the back of the shoe, and roll to the inside portion of your foot and off your big toe when pushing off.
• Form fitting but not squeezing your foot. Your feet are very dynamic and need to be able to articulate to properly transfer weight and hold your balance. If it feels like the shoe is compressing your foot, then you need to ask for a wide size in that shoe or look elsewhere.

Something to do on a Saturday night. Sit down with the fam and scroll through the code with a bowl of popcorn to pass around.

I never attributed their failing grades solely to weed. I actually did the opposite and mentioned a few other environmental factors that may also be at play. If you can't zoom out for just a fucking second and come to the conclusion that increased consumption of cannabis amung teens (which is fact) MAY have something to do with falling grades in teens, then in my opinion you're being just as naive as politicians and civilians that want to keep weed as a schedule I drug.

What do you think happens to students that are failing their classes semester after semester? They eventually drop out of school and go for a GED. And of course im not going to provide "evidence". I cited regional issues with the advent of greater availability. In order to provide direct evidence, I would need to link a very specific study (which wouldn't exist) or I would need to break FERPA laws and provide access to the academic ineligiblity lists. So no. That's not an option.

You also appear to be conflating consequences associated with prohibition, such as academic ineligibility, with the effects of the actual drug.

I'm not sure what you mean? These students are ineligible to participate in after school activities like sports because they're failing their classes, not because they're being punished for cannabis use. There's correlation between behavioral issues, academic performance, and regular cannabis use. Correlation ≠ causation but it is still a discussion worth having.

Now for about the 3rd time, I have no problem with weed. I support recreational legalization and further study for it's use in medicine. It would make my life a whole hell of a lot easier and reduce the amount of opioids flowing through pharmacies, but there's aspects of control that I think we should analyze and address.

Okay man. Keep plugging your ears and yelling until you can't ignore valid concerns and questions about weed anymore.

I'm speaking from a position of direct evidence. It's caused issues in my region. More children are being caught with THC than before legalization and the proliferation of dispensaries in my state. And its not even close. We've called the ambulance to the school this year once already for a 7th grader getting too high and having a panic attack from their THC laced vape pen. Academic ineligiblity lists have increased year over year for a decade as well. There's other factors at play too like their family's finances, social media, covid, etc. but well over half of the list I know have been caught getting high in and out of school.

And again, I want to reiterate. I support legalization and also use marijuana. But its proven that marijuana use before the brain is fully developed can disrupt proper development. And that can be as late as 25 years old though I support a legal age of 21.

I'm all for legalization and partake on a monthly basis or so, but I'm kind of down for keeping it more difficult to obtain. Four or five dispensaries per mid-size city should be plenty as long as competition still exists. I work at a school and access to cannabis has become a rising issue. Outside of school, the greater availability has led to "burnouts" being more common.

I think parallels can be drawn to the opioid epidemic and alcohol. Where availability is high, reliance and addiction rises. There's no reason to flood low-income neighborhoods with convenience stores where half or more of the inventory is alcohol.

Palm Beach is the official St. Louis winter destination when you need a brief winter getaway. Look for the Cardinal red hats in the winter and I can almost guarantee that they will be wearing cargo shorts and a pair of leather sandals. For us, 60°F and sunshine after a couple weeks/months of <40°F with high humidity and wind is summer.

What the fuck is the point of the law then? Locs are a protected hairstyle mentioned in the bill and they traditionally extend beyond the eyebrows. What a weak-dicked limp-wristed shit stain of a judge. Uphold the law you fucking coward.

Can't wait for the first person to come in here and spout some bullshit like "buT whAt iS biDen DoiNg aBouT gaZa?" Like he can single handedly stop Israel. He's been working for weeks on Israel to recognize a Palestinian state and to stop the violence and they've been ignorant to any compromise. Israel is going to genocide with or without our help.

Can we just take this win and encourage more financial relief for younger generations?

There's very little changing day to day at this point in the war.

Because despite credit companies being a complete garbage heap of a way to shift money from the poor to the ultra rich, they can provide financial flexibility in the short term. Opening a new Discover card with 0% APR for 12 months to pay for a $1800 fridge when my old one's conpressor is shot is more responsible than blowing my $2000 in savings.

I'm pretty alright with killing self-identified nazis.

Haaaaa!!!

Ah, thank you. I turned off autocorrect on my keyboard because Gboard kept capitalizing random words in the middle of a sentence.

I also wouldn't describe Illinois as being corrupt having lived here my whole life. Chances are that almost all of the crimes uncovered by politicians in the state happen elsewhere, but we've set a precedent for actually prosecuting the politicians when they are caught.
