I love that Aachen installed a giant sand box near the city center for a beach volleyball exhibition and then left it in place for kids to play in.

The INBONE II ankle replacement is a third-generation, two-component total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) prosthesis. Six months after surgery, it looks like this.

Given the other posts about Grok summarizing the actions of the DOGE, I tried it myself. QUERY: "How much money did DOGE save the US government after accounting for their salaries and mistakes?"
