Horror story time:

As a child, my cousin liked to play in a small, wooded area close to his garden and one day, a long time ago, he must have had a tick. He didn’t notice it, nobody noticed anything strange and years (10+ years) later he got problems with rheumatic attacks and arthritis. Doctors were stumped as an adolescent shouldn’t present with this. They checked genetic factors which were negative and treated the symptoms. It got worse and worse over the years, many visits to many doctors and specialists, they all had no idea what the cause of his problems were.

2 years ago (he is 38 now), he got a new knee joint and this year, he had to get a hip replacement because the arthritis. On a whim, a doctor did some tests and found that he has long-term Lyme borreliosis, likely from a tick, but never presented with the more common symptoms and had an unusually long onset time for the long-term effects of the untreated disease.

All of his problems could have been prevented with a few doses of antibiotics.

Penicillin saved my leg. Nothing bit me, I just kept scratching a wound because it was itchy.

still have a mosquito in my bedroom. little asshole hides when i turn on the light to smack it and it senses when i’m about to just fall asleep and that’s when it attacks.

fuck, i hate mosquitoes.

Just so you know: Germany’s government basically imploded yesterday. Has been a long time coming, really.

Also, if you move to any of the big cities (FFM, Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin) you won’t need to speak German.

I’d rather have an uninspiring centrist than a convicted felon and fascist tho.

But how did the great poet Mick Jagger put it? “You can’t always get what you want.”

The system is gonna stay the same if the people don’t change. That’s why I like gen Z, they are smart enough to not put up with that bullshit.

Yesterday, I was in the local Aldi to get some groceries and the cashier was sick. Coughing constantly, blowing her nose between customers. People complimented her for her strong will and eagerness to go to work despite being sick and found it admirable to act like this, I found it disgusting and was questioning my sanity.

Why is it socially acceptable to spread your bullshit disease everywhere instead of just staying at home and recovering quicker? Humanity learned nothing from covid.

FTFY

Just reformat the coke to NTFS beforehand.

There was a video on YouTube once where some dude chucked a big chunk of caesium into a bathtub. It was amazing, thing just disintegrated violently, but I cannot find that video anymore. Probably deleted because YouTube doesn’t like cool experiments.

As a European, I have a soft spot for the PKK because they were the ones that fought and died for us against ISIS during the Syria crisis.

For only 99 bucks, you’ll never have to vacuum again!

Depends on the detonation velocity and explosive force of the mine. If shockwave border is thick enough and travels at an appropriate speed, it will shove pretty much everything in front of it which leaves a vacuum.

I don’t know how AT-mines are constructed, but I assume they are on the slower side to generate more heat.

I got the hunch that I’ve read something like that before. Maybe from you, maybe it’s a common occurrence. We need a scientific study on that topic.

A thoughtful gift to a mad and self-described evil scientist.

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz

He is actually a really good dad throughout the show.

Did you say “no homo” before doing it? If you did, that’s just a brojob between alphas.

The world is full of surprises, my friend.

Snack pasta (farfalle are the best). No cooking, just open the package and munch the raw pasta. I like how crispy it is.
