Skinny jeans could leave you weak in the knees, literally.
One woman was hospitalized for days after her jeans caused her to lose feeling in her legs, according to a study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.
The study said that squatting in skinny jeans can damage nerves and muscles in the legs.
The 35-year-old woman had spent her day helping a relative move, squatting for hours as she emptied closets. When she was walking home that night, her feet grew numb, and she tripped and fell. Immobilized, she spent hours on the ground before she was found and rushed to the hospital.
"We blame what happened on a combination of prolonged squatting for hours and the tight jeans she was wearing," said Dr. Thomas Kimber who treated the patient.
Doctors were forced to cut the jeans off her calves because they had become so swollen.
"Normally muscles can expand to compensate for swelling, but there was a tourniquet effect, so the muscles had to expand inwards and compressed blood vessels and nerves," said Kimber.
She lost circulation in her lower legs and couldn't move her ankles or toes properly, according to the study.
"If she hadn't been able to come to the hospital, the compression could have gone on longer and caused residual nerve damage," said Kimber, who is an associate professor at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia.
After four days on an IV, she could walk again and was released from the hospital.
So if you don't want to be a fashion victim, think twice before wiggling into a too-tight pair of skinny jeans.
Also don't wear restrictive clothing when doing manual labor of any kind.

So the Dutch police unions are going to do a traffic check on the Tour de France caravan before the stages in two weeks in order to put pressure on the government in wage negotiations. They expect to delay the event by about 1 hour both days.
I bet there is a lot of high tier phone calls going on right now.......
Time for your daily dose of mixing crazy. First we have some Putin on one side. Then we have Texas secessionist on the other. And then we put them together with Russian troll farms!

It feels like the main focus of the game is the batmobile though... I'd rather just ignore that concept completely tbh, I like being batman, not batmobileman.
The new fear takedown is amazingly awesome shit though.
A+++++++ would Batman again.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
I was unaware that SCOTUS might kick the legs out from under Obamacare this Friday. Are the chances high?
Honestly, if they do it will hurt a lot of Americans very directly. There would be a ton of backlash against SCOTUS and (hopefully) the GOP.
For those reasons alone, I doubt it will happen.
Yup. Not only is the legal case undermined by like a really basic concept there is the fact that Roberts has shown before that he gives a shit about his legacy as well as the Court's reputation. He probably doesn't want to take all the heat for GOP silliness on this issue, especially since this one would directly fuck a shitload of people.

Putin’s Plot to Get Texas to Secede
For Moscow's right-wingers, payback means teaming up with a band of Texas secessionists.
Then I'd have a good reason for moving

The weather alone is a good reason for moving.

I live in North Texas, so it's more like we'll have our own inland sea
But seriously, take a look at where I live:
Yes. This is definitely one of my top choices.
- legal pot
- skiing
- great weather
- mountains
- proximity to my Cali friends
- one of America's most trans-friendly cities
So far... great story.
It's fighting is a little more confusing.

No that's a Joisey.
No.
The argument is pedantry of the highest order. The problem you get when a nation and subdivisions of a nation can both be called a state.
So there's a chance.
