    I have to say though, that's the weirdest water feature I've ever seen in a mall.
    Like, does it not have any lip or edge to it at that side? Just small stairs into knee deep robo-death?

    From the NOPE Department, surgeons find 27 contacts in woman's eye:
    While prepping a 67-year-old female patient for routine cataract surgery at England’s Solihull Hospital, physicians noticed a strange bluish blob in one of her eyes. On closer look, the blob turned out to be 17 contact lenses stuck together. Another 10 lenses were subsequently discovered in the same eye. The surgeons have never seen anything quite like it.

    As reported in the British Medical Journal, the unnamed patient was unaware that the contact lenses were missing. Incredibly, the 27 lost lenses, which had drifted behind her upper eyelid, weren’t causing her any serious distress. She figured her dry eyes and periodic discomfort were just a product of old age.

    And people wonder why I wear glasses.

    That's not a problem with contacts

    That's a problem with someone being dumb enough to assume the 26 other contacts they put in their eye magically vanished

    This reminds me of my mom who had to rush to the doctor because she tried to somewhat forcefully remove a contact lens only to discover that she wasn't wearing one.

    My eyes are pretty tolerant to what may cause others noticeable discomfort. As a result I go months on a single pair, and have both:

    Assumed a contact had fallen out when it got sucked up in my eye hole.

    and

    Tried to remove a fucked up contact that had, in fact, fallen out.

    Fortunately the former squeezed back up front about a month later, in what was a thoroughly disturbing realization, and the latter only got so far as poking myself in the iris and trying to slide it around.

    Stupidly put a clear sequin from my dress in my eye. Cue a day of eye pain, before it harmlessly popped out in the evening. I never told my parents, and they never found out.

    The whole concept of contacts feels weird to me.
    Except for cosmetic ones that change how your eyes look.
    Actually, no, that feels pretty weird as well.

    I have a pretty noticeable, to doctors, cosmetic scar on one of my eyes from a contact deciding to turn into a knife on my cornea, but I never remember which eye until they point it out.

    Okay, that's enough of the eye screams.

    Florida Man vents frustration with AT&T, AT&T truck:
    On Wednesday, Florida resident Jorge Jove clearly couldn’t stomach the sight of an AT&T work truck parked out front of his house. Naturally, police say, he retrieved a revolver and started shooting out the tires and engine.

    Jove, a 64-year-old retired firefighter who lives in the city of Hialeah, was captured on video methodically shooting out all four corners of the unblinking truck. He moves around it calmly, reloading his gun several times, firing off at least 18 shots.

    Here’s more from the Miami Herald:
    Jove then walked to the second bucket truck and began shooting at the front of it, reloading the gun several times. Meanwhile, one of the AT&T workers could be heard calling police to report the shooting.

    “He’s shooting the truck right now,” said a man who identified himself as Derrick Taylor, a technician with AT&T. “There’s a guy shooting the tires and shooting the engines and everything.”

    As Taylor spoke to the dispatcher, Jove continued his attack on the trucks.
    Police confirmed that Jove was apparently “upset” that the trucks were parked in front of his driveway, the Herald reports.

    If you're unhappy that someone has parked blocking your driveway I would think that rendering their vehicle immobile would only exacerbate the problem.

    It went about as well as you would expect.

    I mean, I'm not a fan of them either, but nowhere have I thought that shooting some trucks would really get back at them.

    Don't worry! The advanced AIs will eventually wipe out the lesser AIs, we'll turn to them for guidance, they'll splinter into factions and then we're all living on Hyperion.
