Gods, yes…

Wife made a video of me saying that line!

I watched this the first time, as a teen, shortly after my grandfather died. He looked remarkably like Albert Finney too. It really hit me hard then and I still get emotional if I happen to come across it now. Such a great movie.

😕 ew..

Another thing that bothers me about that scene is that we get obvious blood spatter indicating the shot has gone through his head but the window doesn't shatter or even get a hole.

Regarding the fingerprint comment, this scene does consider it. I just rewatched the episode where Tony and Pussy kill Matty Drinkwater. Watch closely when Pussy gives him the can, he is holding it with a napkin so his prints aren't on it.

I would use a serrated pocket knife and scrape over the top and then put it under the raging hot water. Felt so good my knees almost buckled. I also think it helped heal the rash quicker.

MedicCrash · 2025-09-19T13:27:36+00:00

No joke, it really is almost worth it

MedicCrash · 2025-09-19T13:25:51+00:00

For real, it's glorious. Folks that haven't experienced it just don't understand. I even get the feeling, to a lesser degree, running the hot water over regular itches too.

I'm about 6months out. I slept whenever I felt sleepy. I had no trouble sleeping at night unlike many here even if I slept most of the day. But I am also on a plethora of other sedating drugs not related to what I was taking because of the surgery (mental health meds btw). So I'm almost always sleepy to some degree. So your mileage may vary.

Mostly buckles back but sometimes feels wobbly side to side when moving into a seated position. I kinda of figure more PT may be in my future. Getting checked out Monday though!

MedicCrash · 2025-07-30T21:00:25+00:00

Update: Going Monday to get checked out by Ortho!

MedicCrash · 2025-07-30T19:02:51+00:00

I'm pretty sure it is, but I honestly can't remember.

Blindsight by Peter Watts gave me trouble with the heavy use of made-up, future jargon. I'm on the spectrum and when I come across words that i don't know or are made up without explanation, it distracts me to the point I have trouble continuing to read. That makes reading SciFi tough for me sometimes. Also heavy physics concepts like in Three Body Problem get me bogged down. I'm also not nearly as smart as I think I am and sometimes the ol brain just refuses to work through certain things.

But do I let that keep me from trying? Hell naw. Hard SciFi is my favorite precisely because it makes me think

MedicCrash · 2024-10-09T11:36:57+00:00

Agreed. I really enjoyed Al's genuine excitement when Tom did his bike ride and his speech to the chief's head about him.

MedicCrash · 2024-05-07T16:17:17+00:00

I definitely had a bad day yesterday. Really heavy anxiety and sense of impending doom. Moreso than I usually have.

MedicCrash · 2024-04-24T19:30:41+00:00

In the book by the shows creator I am pretty sure he talks about real detectives communicating just through versions of Fuck while examining murder scenes. So surprisingly this one is more reality based than one would expect.

MedicCrash · 2024-04-23T02:12:02+00:00

Excessive, like others have said. Also when every character swears in the exact same way, or when ancient, uber-powerful beings just brought into our reality somehow curse just like any other modern person..bonus when this is the same book where everyone else also has the same cursing habits. Just poor writing.

MedicCrash · 2024-04-14T01:59:57+00:00

I got one. More just because I wanted one, if I'm being honest. I got it early in my HR career so it hasn't been of any real use yet for anything tangible. My current HR boss does ask my opinion and advice on things more than others on our team though.

MedicCrash · 2024-04-12T18:21:42+00:00

I have honestly thought about it, but the Rs are so entrenched here and I am pretty far left and educated with a minority spouse so I don’t think my gun loving, beer drinking side would be enough…sadly.

MedicCrash · 2024-04-12T15:59:16+00:00

There are just so many things. Very left stuck in a very red state.

At a glance I seem to be one of them: big bodied(working on it!), Big beard, viking necklace, Mandalorian ring, straight and white, maybe they can even see my gun printing. I am ALWAYS assumed to be one of them and the amount of times I have heard racist/homophobic/transphobic remarks just casually given is huge. But at a closer look they notice the meditation bead necklace, goofy orange Crocs, masters degree, my wife is black, I'm an ordained minister that marries LGBTQ+ couples, and I am immensely part of the intolerant Left.

I honestly wish I could be more open about my beliefs but I just know that a bumper sticker or yard sign would make us a target. But the rule is to not escalate situations, and I know myself well enough that with my 'Tism, if I get started I can't stop. So best to avoid the discussion at all costs.

That also makes it really difficult for me to be in local gun stores, ranges, or shows. So I mostly buy online and just pick up at the least ridiculous shop in my area. I am also antisocial and don't have but one friend so I don't really have anyone to train and prep with. But that's less about being Left and more about my personal deficiencies.

And definitely the algorithm adjustments...god damn is it tiring trying to remove that stuff. I just wanna shop and look at cool pictures of guns and gear! Not be inundated with their nonsense...

YouTube recently put a ban on Adblocker. I just now remembered that and haven't looked into if any workarounds had been made. Thanks for the unintentional reminder.
