* - the President of the United States

Search and Rescue helicopter pilot guy here. In case any of you are wondering if this will happen to you after falling off a cliff face or something and needing an airlift, it won’t if they do their jobs right. In the organization I fly with you have to use a line attached to the litter that’s held by a member of the…

Agreed, unless you have 4....

So that’s why my car hates minorities?

tbf - the broken windows theory of policing is mostly discredited and it was very, very racist. The honest answer as to why crime has dropped a ton in the last 25+ years is that no one really knows. Lead poisoning has been an interesting theory..

Tires! Fix them! Stop driving around on your donut space-saver (I see this way too often). They are literally the only thing keeping your car stuck to the road.

Also, brakes. Fix your brake leaks or you and others may die. I don’t see this often, but worth mentioning.

Anything beyond that, you do you, man.

Why do people think private sellers would ever take payments? I did that once for a friend and it still took them 6 months to scrape together $1500 that I lowered my price to so they could buy thier teenage daughter a car. Never before and never again. If you need financing go secure it and bring me cash or a…

The hospital I work at had an inpatient go up in flames because he was on oxygen, and his family kept sneaking in cigarettes for him. There was nobody right there to put him out since he waited in between rounds to light up. We changed our visitor policies to make it easier for us to ban people for bringing prohibited…

This patient had to be intubated and ventilated (on a machine). As an anesthesiologist, there is no way the patient had a gas mask. Patients are intubated (a flexible plastic tube is inserted through the vocal cords to provide oxygen and inhaled anesthestics) prior to the beginning of surgery. 

Absolutely, it did. I had an Accord listed at $4000, sure it wouldn’t make that but was looking for $3000. A few potential buyers showed up to kick tires. One was pretty keenly honest, said he’d just come out from a few weeks in the jail and was looking to turn things around, told me he would need to make payments.…

Mood at work

I’m looking forward to “Pokémon Master Baiting”, to teach young trainers how to become top notch fishermen.

Reading is hard, but rewarding.

And the very next part, too:

And thus, the inherent danger in telling someone to take a hike.

Hawaii to do list:

During the next series against the Yankees his pitchers will take him far too literally and walk Torres every single time they face him. Come to think of it, that might actually be better than what he’s getting now.

Because living in a brick McMansion 5-10 miles from anything of interest and the most culturally significant thing in the area being the first McDonalds in the metro suburban area sounds like actual hell to me.
