I was talking to someone this weekend and was surprised to hear that the AI centers use a closed loop cooling system of DI water. That means they recirculate DI water for cooling. The way you hear them talk about water usage you'd think a river has to run through there.

Seems to be more to the story and possibly a couple different ways of doing it. Anyway I didn't know that and thought I'd share.

I saw a couple bear traps recently online and wasn’t able to ID them. Both were very large and quite heavy. Square jaws. One was a dog less design similar to an MB 750 I guess. The other had a round welded dog that was flattened on end. Similar to a new Duke. I lost the pic I snapped and I am unable to find the traps. It was on a craiglist in unknown state. (Late night insomnia Google search) Looking for any leads into trap models/makes I could look up. Roussou was close. Thanks

I recon he's on here. Maybe he'll chime in? Probably best to leave the finer details out if you do.

End of this month is the deadline for applying for deer and antelope for NRs.
Hope you all had good luck in the elk draw and good luck in your deer and antelope draws.
We'll be in for our elk, deer and antelope this weekend.

Antelope numbers are coming back so might be a decent year to get a nice buck.
Mule deer re still down but still some good bucks running around also.

Surgeons perform approximately 800,000 to 1 million knee replacements every year in the United States. I had this done about 6 weeks ago. My surgery recovery is more complicated than most due to the fact I had a complete quad tear about 14 years ago which caused the knee to fail. We will see in about 6 months but so far so good.

General Dissatisfaction: Studies report that roughly 10% to 20% of patients are ultimately dissatisfied with their knee replacement outcomes.
Decisional Regret: Research specifically tracking decisional regret shows that up to 26% of patients report moderate-to-severe regret, while about 49% report no regret at all.
Complete Regret Without Complications: In uncomplicated cases, total regret is relatively low, affecting roughly 3% of patients.

Top Reasons for Regret
Unmet Expectations: Patients often expect their artificial knee to feel exactly like a natural, pain-free joint. The reality is that minor aches, mechanical feelings, and limitations remain.
Incomplete Pain Relief: Up to 15% to 33% of patients continue to experience some level of chronic pain or stiffness after the surgery.
Unprepared for Rehabilitation: Knee replacements require a rigorous, demanding physical therapy regimen. Patients who struggle to keep up with rehabilitation often report poorer outcomes and higher regret.
Premature Surgery: Patients who undergo the surgery when their arthritis symptoms are not severe enough to justify the aggressive intervention are at a much higher risk of regretting the procedure.
