Pronounced Herbert by the suffering locals, it is the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel. The I-64 route into hell. It impacts the maximum draft available to the Navy and for ages they've threatened to move the carriers down to Florida unless the tunnel is addressed but nobody takes that seriously because the hurricanes are problematic enough and it's a pretty decent increase in annual fuel consumption to get assets up north where they're needed more anyway.

Edit: oh another reason the Navy is being told to pound sand is that they're the whole reason for the tunnels to begin with, the idea being that they can't be destroyed to use their wreckage to block the channels like you can with a bridge. They got their tunnels and by the 80s were already being cited as a security concern because of traffic bottlenecking as well as future draft restrictions. Everyone involved in the Navy in any way is obviously a nerd. A defective nerd, even.

I feel like you’re insinuating something here.
 
The worst abdominal pain you've ever felt. 10/10 stinging pain


Glad we didn't lose you bif

Is it usually isolated to the appendix area or can it refer elsewhere?

@Rebels57 so, it was pain in the lower right side of the abdomen. It started off feeling like gas. I didn't think the pain was bad. I took gas-x and that didn't matter at all. That was a red flag.

The other red flag was that when I walked, every time my right foot hit it jolted the pain. Told me something inside must be inflamed or something.

So if your pain isnt crippling, but that is happening, go to the hospital to be safe
Just catching up on some back reading and wanted to add cause mine was similar but different.

Mine happened Christmas Eve. Got home from a party and had to get my house ready for Santa and people coming over. Started as gassy pain like Beef said. Tried to take tums and go to the bathroom. Eventually got sharper. My nuts actually were tingling a bit like I took a shot to the stones. Definitely was more on the right side. Eventually became hard to do anything but sit down

I thought it might be a kidney stone because of the feeling in my nuts. It was Christmas Eve So tried to wait it out. Didn’t sleep at all that night and then watched the kids open gifts on the struggle bus. Tried to nap and see if I felt better and did not so I went to the ER. Couple hours later was in surgery. Freaked me out because no one could join me due to Covid

I definitely expected the pain to be felt higher up in my body

Dude. Rule #1 is if something feels weird with your nuts to get checked out asap.
