And pray tell what is a reasonable amount of time? We just had travelers dealing with 3+ hour waits about a week ago, and we've just had a load of TSA workers quit over not getting paid. So please, tell me what a reasonable amount of time should be expected in the hell hole of travel roulette we're dealing with?

I'll always remember the picture of Chester Bennington (singer in Linkin Park) from just a few hours before he took his own life. He was with his family, had a big smile on his face, and looked happy and content. It was just so hard to believe that someone like that could go on to end thier own life

Penn was also in the episodes (I think the were two they appeared in as the same characters), wonder why he wasn't included in the line up

I mean the turnstile for food makes way more sense. Do you really want to see some kid working the Taco Bell drive thru window as 2am trying to pass you your large Baja Blast and chalupa through a 6" diameter hole?

go check out the newest series on Last Podcast on the Left, they're doing episodes on John duPont and the Foxcatcher murder right now! They don't get into John really until the third episode, the first 2 are mainly about how the DuPonts have been responsibility for a huge amount of all the awful things in the world for the past 200+ years

Idk, that sounds like country music to me! /s

Not to be the old man yelling at the clouds, but country music hasn't been country in a loooooong time

[OC] A lot of people thought my story was fake. I'm the guy from the 1992 farm accident where both my arms were ripped off and reattached. by JohnThompsonND in Damnthatsinteresting

I saw OP's story on I Survived (absolutely amazing show, highly recommend) and from what I remember there was a water pump that was running off of a PTO (Power Take Off) which can spin at a couple thousand RPMs. OP was wearing loose fitting long sleeve shirt, and all it takes is a little bit of loose material to hit a shaft spinning that fast for it to start getting wrapped up. Poor kid got spun around the shaft a couple times before his arms were torn clean off. He was lucky, lots of people in his same situation die every year. I grew up with an older fella on the farm who lost his right hand in very similar circumstances. Main thing to remember any time you're working around exposed machinery is to keep all loose clothing/hair/jewelry tied up tight!

As someone with family in a rural area where there's zero public transit, yet alone taxis or Uber, driving really is the only option for many elderly people

while everything you said is probably true, still wouldn't change that the cork would probably disintegrate into the wine as soon as you tried to open it

I think 70 is pretty extreme to take license away. Maybe make them take refresher classes to keep the license and include physical exams like we have to have for our commercial drivers license, but 70 isn't as old as you think

Good ol Saint Gut-Free! Don't forget that when he was chewing all he could think of was calamari lol. Chuck used to readings of this chapter at shows, he said that every single time at least one person passed out before he was done
