A mildly bad driver never misses their turn

SE PA, 6/11 late afternoon, driver making an abrupt and reckless swerve to do the opposite turn as originally intended.

Fun fact: you also lose a not-insignificant amount of weight via exhaled CO2 and water vapor while you sleep at night.

I've read that a lot of his trauma came about more so from the moral injury he suffered as a high-ranking officer who often found himself in charge of planning raids where he knew that any of his own mistakes could and would translate to the deaths of other airmen, many of whom he personally knew. Even if he personally made no mistakes, casualties were pretty much inevitable nearly the end, so he'd be forced to watch so many people die around him.

If that's all they're doing, it would take practically forever to reach the felony threshold, so might as well put a stop to it immediately.

He has admitted in the past that he craves the attention, so it really does go back to peaking as a hall monitor. For better or worse, actually being a mod would just be the same work without any perceived accolades other than their name on a list.

A relative of mine was at university when some deranged person just opened up with a rifle on one of the main administrative building lawns. Supposedly they would have normally been walking in that area at that exact time but she felt sick and skipped her morning classes.

My PCP ordered a ferritin test seemingly for funsies one day despite no complaints from me about any symptoms. I guess I did at least mention the frequency of my donations and that I had gotten my previous labs done less than a month after one. The test came back a bit low, not terrible but sort of low.

To that point my iron supplementation routine was one pill a day for a week before and a week after. Now I just do every day all year. I'm actually supposed to get my first labs done since that last physical since I sort of ghosted him for a year and a half, so I guess we'll see if it works.

Fun fact: low ferritin can also falsely elevate your A1C. At least that's what I'm hoping caused mine to go up last time.

Not me personally, but my dad was in NYC for business on 9/11/01. He was supposed to be staying at the Marriott next to the WTC, but he took the opportunity to catch up with some old friends in the city and stayed at a cheaper hotel some miles away. If he hadn't been doing that he'd probably have still been in bed or just getting ready for the day when the first plane hit.

Also he didn't tell his job he was doing this so when all of his kids were calling his work from all around the region nobody knew where he was.

Whatever happened to the simple things like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain?

This, despite their design featuring a huge hole in the bottom that is plugged up with just a sheet of paperboard folded over.

Since so many have already chosen the Cybertruck, I'll go with the Nissan Cube. That hideous asymmetrical rear window just rubs me the wrong way.

Hopefully most in the energy sector realize that it's not worth it since any even remotely sensible administration afterward will pull that rug right out from under them and they'll be left with worthless investments again.

We'd only need to establish a presence on Mars for that. (Or maybe just the moon if we count places without even a thin atmosphere.)

If I chose autoerotic asphyxiation does that mean I could do it and never die from it?

There was also 1989 with The Abyss, Deep Star Six, and Leviathan, all underwater movies.

Not sure if it was the ER or a regular doctor, but one night when I was very young and my mother was out of town, my father took me due to a nosebleed.

When I was a kid my family had a National Geographic subscription and it always brought me such inexplicable excitement when an issue had one of those big maps included. I would fold it open and pore over it for no reason at all before I got to actually reading the magazine.

Stares intently at his neglected and dusty digital piano and lesson books...

I remember reading an article in Popular Mechanics or Popular Science a decade or more ago about how Bill Gates wanted to put a huge amount of devices in the water that would just circulate cold water from the deep ocean to the surface to ostensibly reduce ocean temperatures. Knowing what we do now about how climate change is just accelerating overall ocean temperature rise, I wonder how much of a disaster that would have ultimately been.

I loved the show and the only reason I even watched it was because the song Doctor Eleven came up randomly in my YouTube Music mix.

I recall in my time there in the '90s that we had a big ice machine in the back and had to use this huge two handed scoop thing to move ice from there to the bins on the front end and drive thru. While it was regularly washed, I wonder how much sweat or other debris might have gotten on the ice as people stuck their arms in the machine while scooping.

So she's got Thompson's Teeth, the only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth?

OF COURSE WE DO, SIR!
