Nahh, moving that fast it would have compressed the air in front of it to the point where it would have vaporised in milliseconds from the heat.

It was Weasleby, by God! At last I had the miserable blighter precisely where I wanted him!

quote:

The concussion from the explosion was heard or felt for many miles, including people living in Magnolia, El Dorado and Camden. Magnolia is about 22 straight miles from the scene.
If I got all the locations right, these readings are roughly nine miles (White Oak Lake), twenty-five miles (Richland Creek Farm), and seventy-five miles (Cane Creek) out, respectively, from the explosion. That means the main peaks on each graph would have to be the sound of the explosion rather than the ground shock, which would only take a few seconds to travel those distances. And the main peaks are all clipped.

That's not always the solution. We seem to be learning more day by day now that we're less "a moving thinking organism" and more a dumb meat ship being piloted by trillions of bacteria. Some people have an intestinal microbiome capable of processing spicy foods. some don't.

What is it with colleges and doors to nowhere? My university had a door (permanently locked) that exited into free air, outside, three stories up. Also a shrinking hallway where the ground rose, but the ceiling didn't.

I swear it’s an accreditation requirement that all colleges must feature non‐Euclidean architecture.

Libraries are the most frequent offenders.

Speaking of food, I kept feeling sick after eating Panda Express but not after eating Chinese food from places without shrimp. And I just found out that cross-contamination is a big thing there. Undiagnosed seafood allergy?

Books in tongues you cannot read, from places you never knew existed, about things that’ll drive you mad if you so much as look at them.

Sounds like the science section with a place for spare organic chemistry textbooks, the best Cthulhu-inspired horror show I’ve ever come across.

For libraries the more likely I am to be found dead or dying surrounded by scrawled half maps and a diary of my descent into eating bookworms and tax codes the more I feel like reading something TBH.

Make sure to try frozen shrimps. Some people are fine with fresh, but frozen ones trigger a reaction.

My buddy just got done with a round of steroids to stop his reaction to shrimp. He’s middle aged and grew into having a full blown swelling and anophilactic shock thing at a restaurant. Ambulance, etc. face was a mess It’s weird how you can develop allergies on foods you’ve eaten for decades. Scary actually.

you can train your microbiome and eventurally you may stop making GBS threads so much after ______ food.


or like those other posts mentioned you may suddenly become deathly allergic to it and then poo poo and die.

My allergist told me it’s pretty common for food allergies to pop up or get worse at 30 or 50 because of hormonal changes. I discovered this the hard way.

I became allergic to bananas in my 30s and my wouldn't-hurt-a-fly wife has repeatedly said she'd give me the Mia Wallace if needed.

Joke's on her though -- I don't carry an epi pen so I'd just choke and die.

Sometimes it's not even the biome. I can't do spicy foods anymore because of a hiatal hernia.

Our meat ships are fragile and prone to permanent damage.

I just got mine repaired in January, and an implant installed to keep it from recurring. The whole thing was relatively easy, so I recommend it if you're like me and can't live without spicy foods.

My gastro guy gave surgery a 50/50 chance of either working or making things worse, but that's good to hear. Will have to investigate. Thanks!
