Brain-X - "the blood just beads right off!"

Seriously though, some of those videos are terrifying. Anyone that walks out in traffic without looking, intentional or accidental, is a loving moron and at least partially at fault for whatever happens.

My roommate almost hit a 20 something year old guy with his car when he was parallel parking the other day. Dude walked right in between our car and the one we were slowly backing up to. My roommate honked and the kid flicked us off. I got out, grabbed the phone he was texting on, and threw it into the park. He called me mean names as I walked away.

Cryotherapy is not Cryogenics.

It's the idea that cold = healing, and has just as much evidence as crystals = healing.

Obviously I'm discounting when said cold is applied by an actual doctor, such as freezing off a wart or the like.

Crystals do heal people though. Ever since I've been carrying around this energy crystal that I bought from Sedona, AZ I have not had hand cramps. Basically it works by focusing the life energies from Sedona into the toxins in your hand that cause the cramps. Its all proven and totally works. Buy these crystals guys!

So here in Illinois, there was a much-loved cop that went missing and was eventually found dead. Over 300,000 bucks was spent trying to find the guy, his killers, whatever. Of course, lots of conservatives blamed Black Lives Matter for it. Lots of talk about how he was such a nice guy, totally a hero, etc.

Turns out, he killed himself because he and some other cops had been embezzling money for a while now, and he was acutely aware that the higher-ups were going to find out about it.

I have been laughing about this all morning. After they couldn't find the "three guys" he was "pursuing" after several hours I told my roommate he probably tripped and shot himself or something.

Is there an article that describes how he set up the scene to make it look like not a suicide? Like some kinda Rube Goldberg contraption to fire the gun, but made from ice that melted away or something?

He had the air tight plan to shoot himself in the chest through his vest after calling in saying he was chasing 3 suspects. Then probably counted on his cop buddies to not look into it too much and just arrest 3 random people and sentence them to life.

It really is just the best thing. And it's taking all the attention away from the 9 year old kid that got lured into an alley and shot because his dad was in a gang. Its a win/win for Chicago police.

What's also hilarious about the Fox Lake telenovela drama is that when it was possible he was murdered he was from the Chicago area and now they're saying an "Illinois officer" or specifying that Fox Lake is "close to the Wisconsin border, God forbid anyone make the connection to the Chicago Police Department.

Yeah, this is what I was getting at. When he was a fallen cop hero he was close to Chicago. Now that he's a criminal poo poo bag coward he's from "close to Wisconsin." And the Spike Lee movie Chiraq was a bigger story a few months ago when they were still filming it. I haven't seen anything too much about it lately anyways.

Have they revealed how he managed to shoot himself and somehow not have the murder weapon near him? He didn't shoot himself with his own service weapon did he? Or did he manage to ditch the gun while he was bleeding out?

He shot himself with his own weapon and it was underneath his body.

I remember one year the Christmas Eve present that I opened was a chemistry set. It was only minutes later that my mom regretted it, as I made a stinkbomb by heating sulfur and candle wax (it was one of the simpler recipes).

The first thing I did was mix absolutely every chemical that had a "Danger" or "Flammable" notice on it. All it did was make a bad smelling grey/blue mess that was not flammable and stained the garage floor. Good old science!

Any Chem. dept. worth their salts should have alarms going off regularly and ignored most of the time.

Also you guys must be slightly older since you had "real" chem kits.

I grew up in a golden time when parents were just out of touch enough that you could get into really fun trouble, but close enough that you wouldn't usually wind up dead or on fire (born in 1980). Also I was allowed to play with all those dangerous chemicals when I was like 7 or 8 years old because kids were awesome back then. Also we got to play around with model rockets which are basically fireworks that you can reuse. And toys with small pieces that fit perfectly in our throats but didn't have warning labels because we wouldn't eat our loving toys like idiots. But kids these days with their......<rabble rabble rabble>

RE: Sodium chat. My high school science teacher had a fun story once. He had a rock of sodium in his classroom for display about the size of a softball, along with all sorts of other displays. One time some boys stole it and decided to throw it in the toilet in the bathroom...and were disappointed when nothing happened, so they left the bathroom. See, the thing had been sitting for years and had a layer of all sorts of stuff on it, from oxidization to oils and dirt from being handled. This took a while for the water to soak through. About fifteen minutes later there was an explosion so big it shook the whole school and there was nothing left of the stall it was put in.

And with enough time to get out and into class they were probably never caught right? Pretty lucky for them though.

Someone linked me to this thread from the IT forums because of what just happened, so here's my contribution to a thread I've never read!

My girlfriend's car got "broken into" last night/this morning, and by that I mean she left it unlocked on the streets of Chicago. What did the criminal make it away with? Her change holder, because clearly pocketing the change would have been too difficult at the time, and the $3 in change that was in it. What did we make it away with? His non-screenlocked phone. His phone is also hooked up to his PUBLIC facebook account and email. So, we have his name and TONS of incriminating evidence of him with multiple bags of weed (he's a dealer it seems) and thoroughly enjoys posting pictures TO FACEBOOK with 4-6 bags (probably ounces) of weed and plenty of pictures of him smoking said weed.

This fine gentleman also has a fairly recent possession arrest on record with Cook County.

GF filed a report, they told her to not touch the phone anymore, and we're awaiting them to pick it up. If things do not progress well enough, my cousin is a Chicago police officer and I'm sure he'd love to hear about this and nail this idiot to the wall. I've also got a brother-in-law that is a door knocker for the SWAT that works our area, they specifically handle narcotics, so I'm sure he'll get a kick out of this even if he can't handle it himself.

Should lie and say he took a PS4 or something. He'll definitely have one and it can now be yours. Steal from the thieves!

In 2004, when Bush got re-elected, my now ex-wife and I strongly looked into moving to Canada. We were going to go to Victoria BC. She had visited and fell in love with the city in her youth, and I was just finishing up a film degree (shut up, I know I'm an idiot already) so it seemed idyllic. Turns out to emigrate there, you have to prove that you have skills that will get you a job or make you a valuable member to society, and in order to get on their health program (which isn't that great to begin with) you have to live there for a year first. I'm disabled with a very chronic condition (kidney failure due to a genetic fluke) so going a full year with zero health care would be a death sentence for me unfortunately.

I always thought about moving to Canada as well, but I'm in finance here in the states and it would be a total pain to relearn an entirely new set of legislation and rules to start back up, basically from scratch, there. Maybe I could turn that summer of construction work I did with my uncle when I was 17 into a Canadian career.

When I took my driving test back in 1996 I got rear ended by another student taking her test while I was in the parking lot. She failed. And cried. My mom refused to get insurance involved even though we had a good chunk of damage because it would have been just too much for the poor girl.
