  • Ketamine

    I was in hospital and had some significant pain. Opiate based pain relief doesn’t really effect me so they said we will try a ketamine. I said ok, I had never had it beforewow dissociative drugs, are not for me. I told the nurse to stop it and had a small argument about it with her as I felt myself become distant and spacey.

    I decided that the pain was better then the loosing my mind feeling, stuck with paracetamol.

    Driver: that thing looks pretty fast, you wanna race?
    Cyclist: sure, switches bike to max assist

    Driver: Toot, toot, toooooot!! (loud roaring of engine)

    Later at the pub
    Driver: I can’t believe you had me for the first 100m, fuck that thing is fast
    Cyclist: I know but the top end isn’t really what I need. Another round?
    Driver: Sure one more, then I have to get home.


  • When I was a teen walking home from a party at around 2am, I saw a car reverse out of a driveway and slam into a car. The dude drive off in a hurry.

    Checked on the driver of the second car, he was fine, but the car was messed up.

    We called the cops and waited, after an hour, called again only to discover that they “were already at the scene”.

    Turns out that the dude had another crash a few hundred metres down the road.

    Honestly just eat vegetables and keep your ultraprocessed foods to a minimum.

    Milk and eggs are pretty good, as they literally have all that a growing body needs. But since I assume you are not a baby posting on social media (never can tell in this “modern” world) you need more than just milk and eggs.

    Eat fermented foods, kimchi, sauerkraut or kombucha etcgreat for gut health

    I do like some nutritional yeast though. It is really tasty.

    The hose can be sneaky though. See, you think you are finished, you relax a bit more drops out Now you are really done, you wipe the last little bit. Good to go.

    But fuck you, no, sometimes there is a bit half way up that didn’t come out, you get to the door and now the last bit let’s go. Now you are uncomfortable and a little embarrassed.

    Does it happen every time, no, but it is an ever present option




  • True.

    I haven’t looked at one since I was a kid.

    I know they do, tallest/fastest/biggest etc But they are all things that always exist.

    E.g. the biggest pizza in the world, well before that there was also a biggest pizza it was just smaller than the current one, and before that etc

    I guess anything with a single record, not just the latest in a long string should count.



  • I wonder how much is embellishment over the years.

    If you sawed off your assistants fingers (hard to do with a hand saw); good chance they would also catch gangrene. Far more likely is that at the first sign of a saw hitting your finger, you move it out of the way.

    The third person “died of fright”, could have been heart attack. So definitely plausible.


  • I loved that story; in my imagination paleontologist 1 (P1) sees the cartoon and wonders what the official name is. Gets to work and asks old and wise paleontologist 2 (P2) what the official name is.

    P2: I don’t know. I’ll have to ask my venerable colleague (P3) about it next time we are together.
    P1: ok cool, I’ll just use “Thagomizer” until we find out the official name.
    P2: seems reasonable.
    a few months pass
    P2: hey P3 what is the official name of the Thagomizer?
    P3: um, I have no idea. I should know, I’m a steggy expert, how about we just keep it as Thagomizer!
