Yeah, that’ll do it!
Honestly, the most surprising part is I was driving at that hour. I work from home so usually I roll out of bed at 745 and start working. If I get in the truck it’s usually late afternoon to pick stuff up from home Depot or haul gear so that’s why I disabled the control for automatically setting the volume. By the time I’m in the truck I’m ready to jam. Except that one day.
That was the Death Caps. They’re a bit more survivable than Destroying Angel, but I wouldn’t want to eat either of them.
Not as hard as either of y’all’s, but it happened to me with Clutch, The Mob Goes Wild. Alt-metal/stoner rock. That’s a fun song playing through my helmet at full blast riding the motorcycle through the countryside. Not as cool when I crank up the truck at 6am the next morning and it continues playing from my phone automatically.
I love reading about Death Cap mushrooms and their cousin, Destroying Angel. By the time symptoms appear, you’ve already got irreversible damage. Specifically for Destroying Angel, as of 2016 there was about a 50 percent survival rate, but by 2023 that number had jumped to 85-90%. There’s no antidote. Mostly treatment is to hydrate the absolute fuck out of you so that you’re peeing out the toxin and pumping you full of electrolytes. The key to survival is detecting it as soon as possible.
PMC bought out BandLab several years ago. They’re the ones that got the majority share (51%) when BandLab got the minority.
“WE LIKE SHORT SHORTS!”
My oldest son, Stetson, was picking on his youngest brother, Resistol, until the two middle children, Akubra and Master Hatters of Texas stepped in.
That looks a lot like where I grew up, except nicer.
To be honest it’s just a guess. But that’s what happens to tech. They start up a company that never becomes profitable but take in VC cash, then sell off to a big guy and go on to do it again.
The folks at the top are getting VC money now for genetic research. The eventual goal is to sell the tech for parts. The “dire wolf” “de-extinction” is just their proof of concept that their genetic tech works.
The folks down at the operational level are either just doing a job or really think what they’re doing is cool (I mean, I would certainly think tinkering like that was a blast).
My detailed explanation at my old job is that the dev team was full of idiots who hardcoded ipv4 addresses into their fucking code. Seriously. When we migrated from data center to cloud they had to go patch everything. The CTO wouldn’t do shit about it and the director was just there riding things out until retirement.
I knew a bunch of dudes that did that with Magic cards back during revised. They would collect alpha, beta, and unlimited cards only to sell.
I can tell you it’s been pretty great to me. A bit of hard work and a bit of luck and now I’m doing well. I’ve got a long term contract with one company and take short term stuff that looks interesting or pays for my vacations.
Ok, that’s a solid reference even if I won’t read those anymore. Kudos.
I miss stumbleupon. I found so much cool stuff and web comics I’m still reading 20 years later.
I hate how plausible this is.
I mean, how long did it take the cops to get there? Because .42 is crazy fucking high. It can absolutely kill you it’s so high. She would have had to have more than 10 drinks in an hour for that. That’s about two thirds of a fifth between the time it was called in and when the cops got there.
I’m not saying it’s not doable. I’m saying if she did that she was trying to die.
Yep, that’s where chatgpt learned how to use stupid little icons on everything.
