No but they did say i need to find out out why its happening. I need to talk to my GP about that, the place I went is more for initial diagnostics of the injury. I will make an appointment with mine next week.

edit: hospital called and want me to go in and get a CT scan done, so going in this morning.

I have 3 fractured bones in my foot. There is no caste as such, just the boot that I have to wear all the time.
the bones appear to be related to my toe movement so its not possible to put a caste on them. Its the area between my heal and my toes, so its best described as the foot.,

Its strange sleeping with one shoe on. My other foot feels left out.

I don't have an end date, I need to see an orthopaedic surgeon in a week or so and maybe find out more.

Just hope you don't die as an urban cowboy with just one boot on while the other foot is jealous for not getting to wear one, but I'm sure you'll get well long before that.

Fractured bones, I have a moon boot.

Now is DEFINTELY the time to be playing Dark Messiah Might & Magic! Use the power of the BOOT!

I have several fractures as well as one of these

I am to stay off my foot for the next 6 weeks at least. Rest of the year in bed

they did a weight bearing test to see if I needed surgery or not. I don't need surgery, they are going to let it heal.

Yikes, that's a serious fall. Hopefully it'll be a quick and relatively painless recovery. Time to get a Steam Deck or a Gaming laptop? I forget if you have either.

I got a wild hair up my butt yesterday, having woken up at 2am and been unable to sleep. I decided I really enjoy using AI, but I'm not a big fan of the environmental impact, so I wanted to see what I could do running it locally. Long story short, I'm running a...I guess LM? on my laptop and my desktop for general answering of questions; it works alright, but is a fair bit less straightforward than something like ChatGPT or Copilot. It gives me much deeper technical answers to questions when I'm really just looking for something in plain English. But I can try different models, so I may have to find one that works a little better for me.

On my Desktop it actually defaults to using my CPU (Ryzen 5 5600) because my 6700XT has no CUDA cores. However, it works very well just doing that. The bigger issue was that I wanted to continue with image generation, so after tons of futzing yesterday getting Stable Diffusion working on my laptop (with an NVIDIA GPU), I decided to see if I could somehow get it working on my AMD GPU in my Desktop.

It took all afternoon and evening, then some of this morning, but I've finally got my 6700XT generating images. It's relatively slow, taking around 5-10 minutes to generate an image, but the fact that I'm running it all locally on my machines, using my solar power is just...great.

I know it's not terribly interesting to see another piece of AI generated art, but again, I'm just excited by the fact that I don't need to go through some massive corporation who's actively harming the planet to do so and I was able to do it on AMD hardware.

I haven't heard that expression before. I have been having trouble sleeping though, as my kid has a nasty cough that has woken her up in the middle of the night twice now, interrupting my sleep in the process. Meanwhile my wife has a stomach bug, so I really need the sleep to keep my immune system from failing against this two-front assault.

Must be an American thing. My parents would say it not-infrequently and it's definitely something my friends have also said to me. At least I think..could be regional too, my parents grew up in the Midwest, so might be a Midwest American thing specifically.

Been similar here. Kids have had some sort of mild cold, so sniffly and coughy. Mostly they've slept alright, except for like Wednesday when my littlest one woke up around 11pm and was very uncomfortable.

I had an itchy foot this morning... lucky the boot is just designed to keep foot in one place, not to stop me scratching the side of my foot so I can scratch it in some places. Its all foam and plastic mostly. Its also fairly easy to take off, it was off 3 times yesterday.
