Deserving of a repost. I must admit, they took the Halloween update seriously. The car acts a bit haunted...😂
What in the mother fukin son of abitch is this 14.3 Lite think they are doing!!? 14.2 was like a dream on pot. This fuker is driving like a banshee. Slamming on the brakes at the concept of a person, every got dam crosswalk like mother Theresa is about to cross over to the dark side. You didn’t have to change! All you had to do was keep on driving my ass around. I’m about to delete this and start over.
Starting next year, when the technology improves, SI will be renamed SDI (Super Duper Intelligence)
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Love seeing these advancements ❤️
Intervertebral discs serve as the primary shock absorbers of the musculoskeletal system, utilizing their soft, water-binding nuclear cores to distribute mechanical loads during movement. When these structural cushions experience progressive degeneration, they lose their volumetric moisture content and develop structural fissures or tears, which frequently culminates in chronic localized pain.
To address this structural decline, an experimental, second-generation biomaterial known as HYDRAFIL has been engineered to fill internal structural voids and re-establish mechanical support directly within the compromised disc.
During the initial clinical feasibility evaluation, physicians administered this heated hydrogel via a percutaneous needle directly into the affected lumbar discs. Done under local sedation, the outpatient procedure relies entirely on real-time fluoroscopic X-ray guidance, bypassing the structural trauma associated with traditional open spinal surgeries. In a preliminary cohort of 20 human participants—all of whom suffered from chronic, treatment-resistant lumbar degenerative disc disease—the therapy yielded substantial clinical improvements. Within six months post-injection, average self-reported pain levels dropped approximately 72%, falling from a severe 7.1 down to a mild 2.0 on a standard 10-point visual analog scale, while concurrently restoring significant functional mobility to the patients' daily routines.
While this initial human trial offers promising evidence for percutaneous disc augmentation, the findings remain strictly preliminary. Broader, randomized controlled clinical trials are required to verify long-term efficacy, track potential structural degradation of the material, and monitor rare but serious adverse events, such as hydrogel extravasation or subsequent nerve root compression. Although HYDRAFIL holds a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Breakthrough Device designation to accelerate its ongoing regulatory review, it has not yet achieved formal FDA clearance for widespread clinical use. Furthermore, financial conflict-of-interest disclosures indicate that the study's lead investigator serves as a medical consultant to the commercial entity backing the implant's development.

Here’s another tool from the back of the cabinet. Can honestly say I’ve never used it but remember my dad using it.
Let’s see if anyone can guess this one!
When my father sold his Auto repair center and retired, none of my siblings wanted the tools and equipment. I took most of them. Let’s see if anyone can guess what this is…
