I don't mean these things work well NOW - not for an injury like that, at least - but maybe in the future as the technology improves. Sorry for the confusion.
At first look, it seems like they ought to be able to just cut out the broken vertebrae and disks and replace them with artificial ones, but it's more…

It's all well and good to enjoy it when you're young but, to use Patton Oswalt's example, I don't want to be the guy who has to ride a scooter to his daughter's high school graduation. And I sure as hell wouldn't want brain damage or an early death because of sports.
Pain medicine is, believe it or not, kind of a new field.
Again with the "pussies." So weak and soft = women. Great attitude, bro.
If he wants to "better" the kids, he should maybe include some constructive criticism and not make it all about him.
It's simple. Kid doesn't show effort, you bench him and explain to him, like a human being, why he's benched. That's what the good coaches do. This guy is just a clown.
Congratulations on being such a bad-ass and killing brown people on our behalf.
800 is just too big for a single band. No major college band is close to that big.
It's not necessarily bad. It just isn't easy to understand how that could be the most interesting entertainment available. This isn't one of those small shrinking towns that needs high school sports to have an identity. It's Dallas. There are pro teams and college teams to watch that would be more entertaining, plus,…
6000??? I was thinking maybe 3000. Remarkable.
About 6% of high school football players play in college. The odds of a high school player getting a college scholarship (so that would include D1a, 1-aa, and II) are about 1 in 50.
I thought the interest was counted in the $60 million. Plus, there have to be some sponsors/big donors chipping in, right? Not sure how much upkeep it should require relative to a normal high school field.
I calculate that if they can make $20 per fan - tickets, parking, food - and pack it for six events per year (generous, but they'll probably have more than six events - football plus soccer, lacrosse, camps, band competitions and what not) they can pay that off in 25 years, not accounting for present value/inflation.…
The justification is that 18,000 people or more want to watch the team play. If the school can make it's money back over time, then it makes sense to build such a facility.
In fairness to the architects, as the link shows, it's far more likely that coyotes will move in than wolves. Whole different thing.
So you're saying, apparently, that what people say they want is not actually what they want, because they really want what you want and only say otherwise because they're culturally brainwashed. That's an argument akin to "anyone denying the existence of giant killer robots is probably a giant killer robot in…
It doesn't logically follow from that that they'd have lasted longer if they'd been "open" from the get-go. Most people living who get married want monogamy, at least they did when they got married. Otherwise, they wouldn't get married. Of course, there are still a lot of people in cultures where getting married isn't…
