I know three people with Crohn's disease, and I always loathe to find out just how bad their individual affliction is. One of them seems perfectly normal, one is repeatedly out with hospital visits but is never really vocal about it. I also suspect a stoma with that girl, so I feel for her. The way all three of them carry their poo poo is incredible, though.

It's the day of Epiphany (or so google translate tells me) today, and it's one of the countless state holidays we get in Bavaria so good catholics can go get hammered for jesus-reasons. My old man overdid it severely earlier this morning, so now he's hammered off his nuts, lost his phone, stumbling around the house giggling like a girl, and getting angry* at my mother because she dared to take the house phone away from him because he's incomprehensible at this point and cannot be trusted to call the brewery where he probably lost it. That's my dad-chat contribution today, thanks for listening. *not really angry, more like the state of a confused and frustrated puppy that doesn't understand what's happening on television Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jan 6, 2017 |

I kinda care most about the story told in hacksaw ridge, not so much about how it's told. I'm basically expecting a decent helping of gravitas and bullshit, but I had never heard about the dude's story and it sounds cool as gently caress.

Old man rant: I'm generally opposed to "snow days", because gently caress these dumb kids praying to get out of the classes their parents pay tens of thousands of dollar for when they can't be bothered to get out of bed, put on shoes, and/or have proper tires in the loving winter. But both the city of Flagstaff and NAU are somehow incomprehensibly incompetent at preparing for, and dealing with snow. Like, at all. It's genuinely beyond me how you can have a winter storm warning by NWS three days in advance (with up to 27 inches of snow predicted), not prepare for it whatsoever, engage in laughingly bad efforts clearing the snow during and after, and then be EQUALLY UNPREPARED AND INCOMPETENT WHEN YOU GET ANOTHER SNOW STORM WARNING TWO DAYS LATER. Outside of maybe the main pedway, absolutely fuckall has been cleared, there have been a total of five injuries from people falling down the legit-snowslide-stairs just in my dorm (then again, maybe they should go out and buy a loving snow shovel and some rock salt like I did), and now that all the non-cleared snow has begun thawing and re-freezing over the last two days, we're getting another 17 inches on top of that. I love snow and I have no problem getting up a half hour earlier to negotiate the lovely conditions, but the blatant incompetence is beginning to actually hurt my brain.

Mr. Nice! posted:Its not that they're unprepared. Unique meteorological events can leave a place that is not used to them in a pickle. This happens every year. Everyone likes to I get what you're saying, but this is Flagstaff. This place sees an average of something like 120 inches of snow per winter. I've been here for over two years now, and I've never - in my life - seen a place that gets snow with calculable regularity and is yet completely and utterly unprepared to deal with it. We had three snow storms like this in my very first semester, and neither NAU, nor the city had any form of coherent plan or reaction for it. Even when it snows normally, not in winter-storm conditions like these, normal cleaning operations barely cope. The single thing that you know will be cleared eventually, is I-17, and Milton Road, which is essentially just I-17 turning into Route 66. And that is usually barely done until the late afternoon or evening. It's genuinely bizarre.

Well then, not an hour after my bitching, all of NAU is shutting down. This after one of the campus bus lines could no longer negotiate a mild incline, "stranding" 40 students in the post-apocalyptic, inescapable snow tundra that lies a five minute walk to campus buildings in each direction, prompting violent tweeting from the "stranded" students. The hilarious detail: That means grounds services will stop clearing operations as soon as the rest of campus shuts down.

Speaking of movies with Ben Foster, I watched "Inferno" because I figured it couldn't be worse than the other two Dan Brown book-implementations, and while the whole hallucination-episode stuff Tom Hanks is going through is pretty metal, the entire movie is basically a really slow wet fart with two twists, one hilariously obvious, and the other pretty underwhelming. The climax is just all kinds of  It's not a horrible movie if you dig Hanks, but even all of the cryptic/conspiracist bullshit from the other movies/books is pretty 'bleh' in this one.

A friend recommended "Narcos" to me for my tv-show to-do list, but I feel more like SciFi after finishing The Wire, so if this is streaming somewhere, I might binge whatever is available of The Expanse thus far.

Rational thought goes out the window and is replaced by the self-sustaining drive to get the gently caress outta there.

There will be poo poo days, but the 300 odd days of sunlight we get a year here more than makes up for it. Same here, that's one of the main things I'm going to miss so much when i leave. Even the lovely days are nicer than most days back home. During my 3 weeks in Germany over the winter break, I saw the sun a grand total of five times. Like, visually perceived the sun in the sky with mine own eyes. Five loving times in 22 days.

12 years May 31st. I sometimes miss the chill times and shenanigans from the last 6 months after I wrecked my knee and medical eligibility saved me from being a noble for the next 12 years. The poo poo you'd get away with because you gave no fucks, everyone knew you have no fucks, and you were untouchable because the battalion/garrison commander liked you and was cool with you giving no fucks.  On my very last day, my car was basically rolling 6 inches deeper due to all the misappropriated gear I was hauling out or had gifted from other companies. I was supposed to have turned in everything including my last set of fatigues, but went around post saying my goodbyes in full (adequately deficient) uniform. On the way to the gate, the battalion commander was waiting for me outside the front of his building.  "Last day huh, Funlop?" "Sir." "Ready for reality, huh?" "Jawohl, Herr Oberstleutnant." *leans over, eyeballs my rear seats stacked to the roof with gear*: "Properly turned everything in and signed out?" "Of course, Herr Oberstleutnant." "Excellent!"

On the fifth episode of Narcos now, and it's still amazing. Started watching that A&E Scientology series with Leah Rimini during casual workouts, and while I'm not the biggest fan of her, and that Mike Rinder (former Scientology head honcho or something) has an incredibly annoying accent, the personal stories they cover are pretty loving heart-breaking. I've seen those big three Scientology documentaries that came out in the last couple of years (including that weird one with the gonzo-journalist british dude), and they go into the actual history of Scientology and the incredibly fuckery behind the scenes, but this show focuses on the actual people that quit and what they went through. Current episode is about the crushing story of how the "church" wrecked a pair of twin brothers and their family. poo poo sucks.

TBeats posted:Leah Remini is hot but holy gently caress I couldn't stand her in that show. Yeah, you kinda need to tune her discourse and demeanor out and focus on the fact that she lived through this poo poo for decades, so she's at least qualified to speak on it. When I saw the first documentary with Marty Rathburn, I was surprised someone so high-profile was a quitter and very vocal about it. But the amount of high-tier people that have quite is significantly higher, Dianetics-Hitler just discards them left and right every once in a while. The fact that the majority still stay silent is solid testament to their witch hunt and discrediting tactics.

You putting them in frozen? I used to cheat back home with my smoker by freezing the wings so I could give them some more time at higher heat to have them soak up some smoke without drying up, but whenever I did them in the fryer, they were much more agreeable when I thawed them on a bunch of paper towels first.

I've worked a long loving time to get off 80mg of Omeprazole daily and worked my way down to 60, If I would have had to pop 800mg of Ibuprofen three times per day during my tendonitis last summer, I would have been been throwing up blood after day four or something.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:cole, i know what youre trying to do. go look at the cars bmw has manufactured. theyve yet to make a super car. the i8 is a sports car Yeah, when I hear "super car", I think Koenigsegg CCX or Veyron or some poo poo. But still, if you're shelling out 150 grand for a car, why would you care about not being able to open the hood? You don't need to open it...if there's something you need the hood open for, you're almost certainly not qualified to fix it. /edit: lol, the engine isn't even under the hood, the electric motor for the front axis is, what are we even arguing about?

Welp, the cops just came to my apartment because my Korean roommate decided to attempt to murder us by burning popcorn in the microwave. Explaining to the cop how you gently caress up microwaveable popcorn to the point of an apartment fire was a bit of a challenge. My roommate innocently claimed to have followed what he thought to be the instructions that said "four minutes", when they actually said "most microwaves will finish the product in considerably less than four minutes". So he just dialled in full blast for four minutes and went to his room. Cop was like "He knows it's done when the popping noises stop, smoke is generated, and actual fire happens, yes?" Silver lining: We found out that our smoke detector doesn't detect smoke, despite indicating full-functionality on both old and fresh batteries, so my roommate almost burning the apartment may actually save us in the future. We're also probably not getting charged for the damage, since housing seems somewhat concerned with the fact that it has installed non-functional smoke detectors.
