This is why Back-To-The-Future hoverboards will never be practical. You just can’t generate enough power to lift the board and its rider without applying external force or deploying some system to provide thrust. It will be necessary to understand gravity and to interfere with its action.The Superman hoverboard experiment went poorly. As it turns out, people cannot actually fly. Like many experiments though, it provided a wealth of data from which new failures could be crafted, each moving the experimenters incrementally closer to ultimate success.
Well, sure… but it requires a suspension of the laws of physics that is possible in dreams, or when you are able to manipulate the subtle energies that control our universe, but in our physics at our present state of comprehension, it doesn’t work with the technical abilities we currently possess.There will always be a snag until you can avoid gaps in your understanding.
I was in a hurry to let the dogs in and got my big toe caught in the shoelaces, tried to shake shoe off and not only broke the toe but damn near ripped it off. didn’t notice it was bleeding until the dogs started sniffing at the pool on the floor. I remember being upset that they wouldn’t lick it up for me. Now have two very different looking big toes but at least I still have two.
Did I mention that if you hold up your hand and stick your thumb out at a right-angle that’s what my little toe looked like?Oddly, there was no pain until I had to stomp on the car break while I was on the way to the clinic.I apparently made some kind of noise, because the occupants of all the cars around me were staring in my direction.That move also reset the bone and the doctor only had to tape the toe up to immobilize it.
I am wearing ankle socks.They have magical powers.They keep me from running my toes into things.I know that is difficult to believe.And it is not necessarily factual.But it is true.Magical powers.
I spent the day on Thursday, wrestling with large and heavy bits of metal, extremely conscious of the distinct possibility that I would let one slip or topple and reduce one of my feet to red, pulpy mush. You can’t make up stuff like that. Worse than the possibility of an injury, I need for these things to be intact and functional and could not replace them if I wrecked one.

I’ve dislocated my little toe on the right foot by ramming it into a wooden magazine rack, and to this day, it never let’s me forget it.

I think he’s pushing off, not tripping.

With an ingrown toenail, stubbing your toe can be brutal.
