Prostheses

[cjsmith]

Many people with artificial feet can walk, hike, run, and even backpack. (At least if they've somehow obtained these artificial feet while the rest of their body was still functioning.)

If my doctors hadn't told me there was hope, back in 2003, we might have discussed this by now, and I could be running today.

At least you're not setting them on fire. Friend of a friend in college did that once. Half-melted it. Rotary phone, back then, so he could still dial it by fidgeting with the hang-up buttons. He asked for a replacement but got nowhere. He got an irked call from Jeff Schiller (the guy who ran the phone switches) because this practice was not good for the switching equipment, and presto, he had a new phone a half hour later.

Digression, sorry. Anyway I bet melted phones smell really bad so I'm glad you're just thwacking 'em.
