Four years ago today I was waking up in ICU after having a heart attack and emergency surgery.
If it happened today things would probably turn out quite differently what with the hospitals filled with the unvaccinated.

Maybe there's a timeline in which you survived, and a timeline in which you didn't, and you're now living in the former timeline?

Nothing like a letter jumble word puzzle to make your true dummy come out.
Looking for a word by putting the jumbled letters together: I don't frickin' know. Sig-En? Oh. Dammit. Sign. The word is sign. You know that word, idiot.
I just put together another one. Leng-Teh-Heh. Oh, Length. The word is length. *smacks forehead*

The concept of the weekend is an antiquated one.

Largely because weekends were a product of labour union activism, and there's been a concerted effort by businesses to destroy unions. This also applies to paid overtime, the 8 hour workday, paid sick leave, holiday pay, and on and on.
As collective bargaining becomes weaker, it makes it easier to treat workers like shit.

Note to self: Don't wear a "Roll Tide!" shirt the day after a game. It's amazing the number of annoying people who want to interrupt your shopping to talk football when you do.

A 'lethal dose' is also a 'lifetime supply'.

Guys, a dumb question from an ignoramus.
We know that perpetual motion isn't a thing. Not here on earth anyway, with gravity, friction (non vacuum), etc
I just want to know what keeps the electrons spinning? Even in the darkest coldest reaches of the universe?
