Reply to comment by ApacheSnow in Someone beheaded a statue in a Cambridge cemetery by ApacheSnow

Just your comment giving the backstory was removed, not the post. I should have clarified.

Direct links to social media aren't allowed, hence why I suspected the mention of your social media account might be the culprit, but yeah, that wasn't a direct link, so not sure what this is about. You can check out the rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/wiki/index/

I'm here from the front page, so not an expert on how the rules get applied.

Reply to comment by Asidious66 in This new Stanley tape measures is missing a few marks between 24 and 25... by Jay_Ray

Yeah, that guy rides a desk and doesn't work for a living. Ain't nobody with a real job got time for that. I pay good money to have suitable tools come to me correct off the shelf. That's the whole point. I'm paid to fix shit for other people, not diddle around fussing over my own tools. That thing's 25 feet long and he wants me to check every half inch for accuracy? Get real. I got money to make.

  • I seem to remember seeing this individual on one of those 'you won't believe this shit' clickbait TV shows in the 90's or 00's.

  • As I recall it was a small gauge deer slug, like a .410 and while the brain damage was significant the individual did survive (obviously) and made a fairly decent recovery. As I recall the wound track was smaller than my thumb and travelled almost perfectly between the two frontal lobes.

  • But to respond to your observation the deformity is most likely caused by the surgical removal of the very badly damaged frontal bone. Most likely this was done to prevent infection or further complications from leaving the shattered bone in place.
