Playing basketball someday most of you have recieved a quick hard pass and received it wrong and your finger turns back. A few minutes later its all swelled up. This happens to me alot so im looking a way to reduce it.

What could be some ways to reduce/prevent it? (besides recieving passes correctly)

Another thing, is there any way to heal it quicker? lol I cant do some things since its my index finger. BTW I dont go to the hospital or anything for this. I just let it go away by itself...

(BTW; Now that I think of it I dont know if this belongs in Sporting or General...)

I know you said besides the receiving the pass correctly, but that's going to be the ONLY way to prevent it. You should be cradlign the ball when it comes to you by letting it hit the base of your hand and then quickly clasping around fingers onto it.

If its a fast as hell pass its bound to happen.....Your thinking with your mind rather than your hand and you slightly put it below where the ball is going your finger( s ) snap back and pow instant injury.

I play ball quite regularly. I'm telling you, the only way to avoid it is to receive it properly. It's an instict and a hand-eye coordination skill that you have to give time ot become natural. I used to jam my fingers all the time, but as I got older and more controlled of my body, I was able to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong.

Yea man I played ball all through high school and college and your gonna get tons of jammed/sprained fingers and ankles. Like bangbang said the only way to keep this from happening is to catch the ball right. It's all hand-eye coordination...it becomes an instinct. Don't think about catching just do it. You just have to tape it up and play through it. After a while you'll start to even get used to shooting with a messed up shooting hand...which will help out some.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
