  • <exploding-head.gif>. Holy shit dude… A significant portion of my life just snapped into focus with an almost audible click. I got an actual head rush as my brain went into overload trying to re-sort pretty much it’s entire contents.
    I know this is a throwaway comment for you, but this shit explains so much of my life.



  • Doctors often do rounds at the hospital first thing in the morning. There could have been an issue at the hospital that kept them, or maybe there was an unexpected influx of patients getting hospitalized the night before. People tend to ask the people around them about their doctor when they are looking for a new doctor. So, if there was an accident at a factory, or even just food poisoning from a church gathering, it’s not surprising if a large number of the group have the same PCP or GP.
    On the other hand, many doctors are just narcissistic shit heads with God complexes who don’t give a fuck about us mere mortals.
    My pcp is often running late, but it is because he specializes in diseases that affect the elderly like diabetes and heart disease. So he often has to go to the hospital unexpectedly. On the other hand, anytime I’ve ended up in the hospital, he’s been there first thing in the morning making sure that they aren’t screwing up my medications, which they always are.

    So, you were not only protecting yourself from the heat, but also waxing the slide? Holy shit dude. That’s genius… and if your slides were anything close to the 7-8 ft death traps near where I lived, then it was also completely fucking insane. I never even met your grandma and now I miss her too, she must have been hell on wheels in her youth.

    Range anxiety is not just about a single trip. You are assuming that not only will we all be able to just charge whenever and wherever we park our cars, but that we’ll never fail to do so. You also assume that only one person will be driving the car. If I forget to plug in my phone it’s not a big deal. I can just plug it in on the way to work or bring a battery pack. And it is not uncommon for my kid to bring our car home on empty. And then of course there are broken charges and unreliable utilities. I can’t even count on a reliable internet connection wherever I go and that can be supplied wirelessly. I have lived far enough out in the country before that I’ve had to deal with range anxiety in ICE vehicles. The threat of running out of gas before you can make it to a gas station is a very real and stressful issue. I can only imagine how much worse it is going to be when it takes more than just a gas can and a few minutes to get you going when you screw up.
