    Not as bad as ebola, but maybe almost as bad???

    Actually abrupt widespread hemorrhaging is one of the disease's trademark symptoms. You should get that checked.
    Oh god, I'm sorry. :D

    Man, then I've probably had Ebola for like the past twenty years. What a slow-ass disease!

    2014 just became the worst year of my life so far. Someone I don't know just commented "to-wit to-whoo" on a picture.

    It took me a couple of seconds, then I figured out they meant *wolfwhistle*.

    I don't know how I can go on anymore...

    Isn't "to-wit to-woo" s catchphrase of an owl in some children's book? Narnia, or Book of Merlin, or Winnie the Pooh, or Alice in Wonderland, or something?

    I read a lot of books with anthropomorphic talking animals is what I'm saying. I don't know if one of them actually said it or if I'm just projecting some false memory onto the sentence, but for some reason I associate the phrasing with talking owls.

    Everybody invest in a decent car jack

    30-50 bucks is so worth it to never have to fuck around with those god awful factory jacks you have kill yourself twisting open by hand

    Buy a damn jack, and a set of chassis stands. Minimum cash outlay for maximum safety and ability to actually do shit to your car.

    Changing a flat is actually simple as shit if you follow a set of steps.

    1: Set parking brake and chock opposite wheel.
    2: Crack wheel nuts (loosen them about half a turn).
    3: Jack corner of car up high enough that wheel comes off ground. Set chassis stands to make car safe.
    4: Take off dead wheel.
    5: Offer up good wheel, wind wheel nuts/bolts in by hand.
    6: Tighten wheel nuts/bolts in a star pattern.
    7: Lower car back onto wheels.

    8: Fuck off to the tyre shop and have your flat fixed/replaced.

    It's really quite simple, and as long as you're not scared of getting a little brake dust/road grime on your hands, it's no problem at all. (use dishwashing liquid and a scouring pad to clean your hands)

    Alternately

    1. Call AAA and make it their problem since you've already paid for roadside assistance

    And you an engineer.

    So some rich assholes crashed a plane on the beach in my hometown, killing a man and his daughter. The man's 7th wedding anniversary was Sunday.

    The thing is, the airport is literally right next to the beach, and there is a lot of grass to make an emergency landing on. Or you could land in the water, which is about 4 feet deep. But nope! Let's ignore those two options and land right on the beach, needlessly endangering beachgoers.

    I hope they go to prison for a long time.

    p.s. the airport is also where Mohammed Atta and some of his pals learned how to fly, so it's always wonderful news when another terrible thing happens. Fuck 2014.

    Yeah the family is from Georgia so I saw this in my news feed too. It's a horrible tragedy!

    I'm curious as to how close to the man and his daughter the plane touched-down seeing as how they didn't have enough warning to get out of the way.

    I read they aren't sure if they were hit by debris or the plane.

    Also, it's not like you'd expect a plane to hit you while walking on the beach. People get hit by trains because they didn't hear them and they're walking on train tracks where one would expect a train.

    It's hard to get on a plane with blood pouring from every orifice. And the incubation period is very short.

    Welp, after jumping through a million hoops and going in for a day-long in-person interview, just found out I didn't get the grad school scholarship I pretty much need if I want to go to grad school. I still have one more option, but this was pretty much my best shot at getting my life moving in a positive direction again.

    If ebola were airborne, yes, but fortunately it's not. The problem with the current outbreak is it's spread out over a large area so they're having difficulty containing with the limited resources they have. With more resources it would be less of a problem, so if it ever got into a western country somehow, they would have that on lockdown.

    I watched some documentary on Ebola as a kid, of the 'if it ever gets to an airport, everybody dies!' variety, which really freaked me out at the time - despite being in no way close to anything remotely Ebola-ish. I think I have a touch of that still, though, so I'm pretty much okay with us shooting anyone, at any airport, that looks remotely unwell.

    On a more personal fuck 2014 level, I just found some utterly rancid onions in my pantry, and when I moved the container they were in, it leaked and spilled a red fluid all over my floor. Presumably some manner of onion-fluid, but judging by the smell, it was actually a kind of onion/tuna hybrid-fluid that had been left to ferment in Satan's asshole. On a hot day.

    If it wasn't absolutely clear, the tone wasn't meant to be serious on the 'shoot everyone' front. Like, at all. I thought that was clear, but maybe not.

    Still unhappy about the onions, though.

    I don't know if they do it in Africa but in 3rd world parts of Asia they scan your body temperature without consent and will not let you on board a plane if they think you have ANYTHING, much less Ebola
