I travel a lot for work with a not very big weight allowance so it has replaced my laptop as my daily machine.
I game on it, use it for discord and dndbeyond to play dnd at work, have jellyfin on it to stream media to my phone+ar glasses, and use it to access my home server to deal with downloads and my main jellyfin server.
It's an awesome tool.

My wife gave birth like this, right on the living room floor and my daughter came out in an egg. The whole thing happened so quick, the midwife only arrived a few moments before she dropped, lucky as she needed to cut the egg open and get my daughter out.
Meanwhile I was lying on the sofa with a broken leg trying to stop our cat from eating everything.

I think it's in one of the sequals to John dies at the end, with the spiders where this happens after he takes the sauce and stops time. The grass doesn't bend under his feet so it's like running on blades and then he gets shot. Nope, just turns out he ran into a butterfly. Even when he gets to where he's going he's powerless to change anything s everything is frozen.

That dose of 16.5mg/kg ld50 is for rats.
Mice is lower at 0.3mg/kg.
There have been no know deaths from humans overdosing on lsd, even when people have taken ridiculously high amounts by mistaking it for cocaine and railing lines of it up their nose.
Sure, a little coma, hypERthermia and light gastric bleeding but nothing a short stint in the hospital didn't sort em out with no lasting effects.

I'm on an oil rig in the north sea and last time this happened I was stuck out here for an extra week. I'm due home on Friday. Really really hoping this time isn't at bad.

Not the first time I saw snow as I grew up on the Scottish Highlands and have had it since a baby, but I do remember someone else's. My parents had a guest house and I remember one Christmas eve day around the living room with my family on Christmas Eve when it starts dumping snow, "nice, it'll be a white Christmas" we all thought.
Then we heard a bunch of noise coming from the front car park, we peak out the curtains to see a family staying with us from somewhere is Africa, I can't recall where but it was obviously their first time seeing snow, they were so excited, running outside on their pyjamas at 2300.
They were making snowballs, rolling around in the snow trying to make snow angels and on their hands and knees making snowmen.
My family just watched and chuckled as those outside slowly realised how cold and wet snow is. Within minutes the whole family was drenched and shivering and running back inside.
But for them it was a magical moment, makes me smile thinking back to it.

In that case Felix Baumgartner is the fastest human being.
With a top speed of 843.6 mike's per hour.
Ussain Bolt and suck it.
Edit: if the autocorrect mistake is funny, just leave tit as tit is.

I get them £3.60 a tab.
Helps to buy them in bulk. I'll buy 25 at a time and that 'should' last me and the wife the year.

Same, I made a more professional email address that was easier to tell people over the phone. I didn't think at the time that my middle initials are A & T.
Now the confusion is I say my email addres is "firstname at lastname @ gmail.com"

And if we all did that, what then would be your excuse for your loneliness ?

36, Scotland. Been driving almost 20 years manual. Briefly had an automatic Volvo XC90, it was great, didn't have to put down my cup of tea while approaching roundabouts.
