Loss of smell (partial or complete loss, sometimes just the inability to sense one specific smell, sometimes the inability to detect a particular smell in one nostril but not the other, sometimes permanent loss and sometimes just temporary) is called anosmia and there's a huge list of possible causes. Some of them aren't all that scary (allergies, antibiotics, overuse of nasal sprays) but most of the things on that list are pretty serious.

If she just suddenly lost most of her sense of smell with no other symptoms or obvious external causes such as head trauma it could have been a minor stroke or Bell's palsy or an early symptom of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's or a dozen other things that might need to be addressed.

I'm pretty sure that's why she doesn't want to talk to the doctor about it. Because until the doctor says the word cancer, it's not real.

I remember my grandfather's last weeks when he was dying of cancer. All we could do was watch him writhe in agony. Even the touch of sheets on his skin was unbearable to him, despite being given Morphine constantly. My grandmother begged the doctors to give him more and they said, "If we give him any more it will kill him." And she said "So?! He's dying now!" So rather than kill him with morphine, they let him starve to death in agony.

The modern interpretation of the hippocratic oath is insane.

I worked one day for DHL, literally one (I got another offer from a job I actually wanted) and I have no idea how anything even semi fragile gets anywhere in one piece. It can only be due to the magic of packaging.

Boxes came down the conveyor belt for sorting by the drivers of each route. You'd just look for your route number and fling it off the conveyor into a pile around you. It went way, way too fast for anyone to be even the least bit careful. Things that ended up on the wrong pile were literally thrown across the room.

Then I went for a ride along. At the end of the route there was just one unsecured package left in the back of the van and I could hear it careening around the walls every time we made a turn. I asked the driver if we should stop and tie it down. "Nah."

I celebrated new years in Reykjavik one year. What felt like the entire town packed into the square outside the big church, with drunk people lighting off fireworks in the middle of the crowd, some times just letting them go from their hands, or putting them in way too small bottles that inevitably got knocked over so the rocket would fly along the ground and detonate among people.

The Icelandic are a hardy folk.

2/3 of the 330,000 people in Iceland already live in Reykjavik, so it was probably the entire loving country packed into that square.

Work in a government office with one department on the first floor that sees lots of foot traffic from the general public. There are GIANT and NUMEROUS signs everywhere. OPEN 8:30-4:00.

A spokesperson for the department told local media the lofty temperatures hitting the region — upwards of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and climbing — have combined with heavy traffic to reactivate a key ingredient in the road surface, rendering it a sticky muddle in places.

Still, considering they've been hitting 50C occasionally in that part of the world for all of recorded history, seems like poor planning. It's not like it's even a new phenomenon

Sweltering temperatures are nothing new in this part of the world. Bourke recorded a NSW record high of 49.7C on January 4, 1903, which was equalled in Menindee in 1939.

My grandpa never trusted Asians either. He would never be rude or use slurs, but he was a ranger in Korea. One of those fun times we got involved in someone else's civil war and our boys could never be quite sure who the was the enemy. I imagine that does gently caress you up.

He didn't tell me much about the war but he did talk several times about calling in fire support from the battleship Missouri. Said the shells looked like boxcars going over your head and looked close enough that he felt like he could've reached up and touched them.

The Turkish contingent in the UN forces there made a big impression on him too. His attitude was basically like, man I wouldn't gently caress with those guys.

Funny enough the wound that sent him home came from when he was on R&R. They were playing baseball when a mortar attack came in and everybody dived in the same hole, so his foot was still sticking out. So there's your OSHA. Need bigger foxholes.

You really have to have just the right combination of poo poo go wrong to have a fire at a gas station. I honestly don't believe a cigarette would do it 99.99999999% of the time. I worked at one for four years and we had zero fires during that time, even when someone totalled one of the pumps at like 30 mph. Point is they're in more danger of lung cancer than fire.

How about we all agree that every human involved in this story is a shithead to some degree.

The flight attendant is a shithead for obvious reasons.

The dog owner is a shithead for supporting the breeding of dogs that are basically born to suffocate for cosmetic reasons and for not standing up for their pet.

An ugly, defective, but ultimately innocent dog died as a result of these two poo poo winds meeting and creating a poo poo tornado.
