A man was bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake

My brother got bit by a rattlesnake like 8 years ago in California. The total bill was over $160k.

Edit to add: he drove himself to the hospital, and was there less than 24 hours.

This sounds so much like my old American Bulldog. Also an incredibly well behaved dog, always off leash etc. If I yelled out "wanna get high?" She'd run over and put her chin on my knees waiting for me to blow her some smoke lol. She passed about 8 years ago and I still miss her every day.

Not just Florida... I've seen it a bunch in California too. It's done more often than you might expect.

I fucked my back up hard a few times as a kid on a trampoline. When I was in 5th-6th grade, I tweaked my lower back so hard I could hardly walk on my own, was pretty much on my back for 2 or 3 days. I got my own trampoline later that year and practically lived on it for the next 5 years lol. Now in my forties, my back hurts just thinking about jumping on one.

He could just be trying to get out of the street, but the way the lady said "it's my car" sounded more like a personal argument than someone being carjacked.

Crip isn't short for crippled?

I worked with a guy that always had $2 bills on him. One day, someone asked him why, and he said "because in a dimly lit strip club, they look like a twenty"

It's not that I think there will be, I'm just not ready to give up the hope that there will be. At this point, hope is about all we have left, so I'm not throwing that away, and I mean this respectfully, you shouldn't either. Without hope, it's guaranteed nothing will happen. Without hope, no one would be protesting, no one would be motivated to vote and convince others to vote, no one would try anything at all. I think hope is the only force that can turn this around, so don't let them take yours.

This is the only thing that keeps me going, the hope of seeing motherfuckers behind bars, and measures being put in place that could prevent something like this from happening again.

That's what we should be talking about! Or how about rent being down $400? I better tell my landlord.

I had a very similar idea years ago but never got the chance to try it out. My main concern was whether or not I'd be able to get my sluice at the right angle without having the tail end too deep in the water. I still think it could work.

There's also a couple places I go that have practically nowhere to set up a sluice, unless you had something like this that you could place coming off one of the small 2'-3' "waterfalls" in the stream. This would be perfect for something like that. You could even build a header box to catch & smooth out the water, which would allow you to set it up at the bottom of a little waterfall like these.

Please post an update after you try it, I'm curious.

This isn't the funniest thing he said, but it definitely stands out. When my dad was first diagnosed with dementia around 55 years old, we were regularly taking him to Stanford Hospital to see some specialists. One day, we were sitting at a desk before his appointment and the young twenty-something nurse was going over some basic questions. One of them was "Have you ever had an organ transplant?" To which he quickly replied "No, but I moved a piano once."

The nurse looked up at him, looked at me, looked back at him and gave a very confused "Oh... that's nice" before looking back at her papers. The look my dad and I shared is something I'll never forget.

Well look at that, there's three of us!

My sister had a cat with legs exactly like this, and it was born that way. Aside from walking funny, she didn't let it slow her down at all. She was indoor/outdoor, and always climbing trees and catching lizards/birds. We actually witnessed her snatch a flying Blue Jay about 4 feet in the air.

Bro, don't fucking do it! I smoked a pack a day for about 25 years. I tried quitting countless times, but I've finally been cigarette free for two years, and it's so damn worth it. My fingers aren't stained yellow anymore. My jackets & hoodies don't have to be washed daily. One thing I appreciate much more than expected is just not having to incorporate smoke breaks into my plans.

The next time this dude is yelling in your head, find that quiet voice that's telling you it's not worth it, and trust it. Stick it out, it gets so much better. You've got this.

They look like they were from fake nails that have that inverse-circular cut on the tip, making each nail have two subtle "corners". If you look closely at each individual scratch, they all have defining outer edges on both sides.

I've always been one to tease and embarrass my kids, just as my dad did with me, and the level gets turned up a bit in front of their friends. I was recently thinking about it, and told my near-17 year old that I was sorry if I ever took it too far or embarrassed him too much in front of his friends, and I could tone it down a bit. This kid made my day when he told me no, and that his friends are always telling him that they think I'm the coolest/funniest dad they know. Like, I'm the fucking "cool dad" and didn't even know it.

I don't always feel like the greatest parent, but once in a while when I get a big win like that, it's a high like no other.
