Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

are armbands and knee bands to keep your joints from popping out of place when you're lifting heavy stuff?
No. They're support, rather than protection. For people with messed up knees, it keeps the knee from wandering away under the skin, or the muscles from moving wrong. The muscles do all the work, the bands just keep everything in it's right place.
So, yes?
I'm also leaning toward yes after hearing the answer, hahah
No you said to prevent it from popping out of place, he is saying it's to stop from wandering. Huge difference.
Does wandering sometimes lead to popping out of place?
It may seem that way, but in reality they're both exactly the same.
It's like the difference between wandering over to your local coffee shop, vs. popping in.
The difference is that you don't need them unless you have a bad joint.
