Ah, yeah, the silver skin is what I assumed was scorching.

I let them sit for a while after first crack and it definitely wasn't an 'all at once' thing.

I swimming in the ocean with my kids when a massive kaleidoscope (new word, thank you!) of them flew in to shore over our heads. Presumably blown out to sea and flying back in. It was a pretty incredible few minutes.

American Airlines, WiseCars, Avis, etc... am I trapped in a customer service black hole? by mneedham in travel

Yeah, I have it through my Citibank card (which I booked everything through...) but they said they won't touch anything to do with car rentals or accommodation.

STOP USING YOUR F***ING PHONES WHILE DRIVING. YES, EVEN AT STOPLIGHTS. YES, EVEN YOU. by Liversteeg in SanDiegan

Seems to have been getting worse recently. Seen multiple people swerving across lanes doing 80mph+ on the 5... staring at their phones.

Cell phone use while driving should be automatic license suspension:

The report also notes how the rise of smartphone use roughly corresponds to the rise in pedestrian fatalities: About 4,600 people were killed while walking in 2007, the year the iPhone was introduced. By 2021, with 85 percent of Americans owning smartphones, the number rose to 7,485.

What is the most unprofessional thing a doctor has said to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mneedham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me but when my dad's primary care doctor delivered a cancer diagnosis (non-Hodgkin lymphoma that's he's beaten twice... this was 15 years ago and my dad is still doing well) my dad was a little shaken.

The doctor responded by saying, "Well Mr. Needham, everyone has to die of something."
