^Throw it in a ziploc full of rice. The rice sucks out the moisture. That trick saved a couple of my phones.

^ Rice trick works.  Unless a short has occured.

warm cooked rice?

[Chris]

Uncooked.

[seanocono]

@Chris:

Uncooked.

Exactly.  V, the uncooked rice will grab the moisture out of your device.  Hopefully, you were able to power it off immediately.  There's no guarantee, but it's worth a shot.

Hahaha. I'm laughing at Volcano asking if he uses warm cooked rice.

[Seul]

I wish someone would've said "YES" to that…

In honour of Snowmageddon the company I work for has ordered in a bunch of pizzas…

...I'm wheat and dairy free as of yesterday in my final push to get down to proper size for my MBBs.

[CLJ]

I hope you tip the delivery person. Not a great day to be on the roads.

[zwer]

Pfft. I'm not tipping him - I don't get to eat any of the damned pizza!!

[CLJ]

Not you per se, the company. Days like today I'm happy to have a 4x4, forgetting the gas mileage for a few hours.

Good for you though! In a few weeks you'll really see the difference it makes.

….
so in ankle news the xrays came back and im missing a large amount of cartilage from my ankle
have to go see a specialist, probably looking at surgery
awesome

Oh no good luck natehate

[Mild7]

^ yeah I missed that post Nate, sorry to hear that man.  On the bright side, after a couple of weeks a good ankle scope (if thats the procedure you're having) can make a real positive difference.  I know, I've had 5 of 'em. Buck up dude!

Its strange how some guys get masses of support messages for stuff like this, and some don't..

[natehate]

yeah, thanks davito and mild7. im not totally sure what they have to do. gotta go see the specialist first and go from there
hopefully they sort me out quick, with new boots on order and all

[llvlaglne]

Lets hope you don't have to turn to surgery brother….  Dont be bummed but just go to the specialist and take it from there. Let us know of any news afterwards.

If you need something to cheer you up... I'll let you barrow some of my wham albums

hahah hopefully it doesnt come to that

[jacoavlu]

if you are reasonably young it is unusual to have significant degenerative change in your ankle (or another joint for that matter) without prior trauma or some other underlying cause, if it were me I would want an MRI before I considered surgery or other intervention, if it came to that

[natehate]

im 32 so not that old
gotta see the specialists and see what he says. im sure he'll send me for a mri and some other stuff

[joesaintjohn]

Sucks to hear. Keep your head up, I'm sure it'll all be fine.
