so after physical therapy today, i now know what a water-cooled computer feels like

cue @maple rolling by my window, yelling SOME OF US ALREADY KNEW. SOME OF US ARE WAY AHEAD OF YOU ON THE WHOLE 'WATER-COOLED COMPUTER' FRONT before downing an entire bottle of fiji water while maintaining eye contact to establish dominance

(what actually happened is the place i'm going to for physical therapy this time is the place where all the student athletes go, so there is Extreme Money in play. they don't have just icepacks out of a freezer. oh no. they have this machine that circulates water through an appropriately-sized hooked-up pouch shaped like whatever it needs to be for your shoulder or what have you, all at a consistent temperature. like a sous vide machine. except in my case cold)
