Lucius Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Re: A Thread for Random Injuries Want to know what put me in the hospital recently and left me (for a few hours) unable to stand? It started with a STUBBED TOE. When I stubbed my great toe, it broke the nail and cut the skin and let an infection in, which was not even visible - at least, I didn't notice it - for several days. I'm on a 10 day antibiotic regimen now. Hopefully that will RECover my BODy to normal. Yes, I managed to inflict an Impairing wound on my own Location 18 by doing a Move Through at maybe 3" on the furniture. And still taking the occasional 1d6 STUN if I stand or walk.

Logan D.

Again. I'm getting sick of this. If I get another job and it ends up making me miserable like this again, I really don't know what I'm going to do.

SatinKitty Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I'm thinking now of the Polynesian Resort in Disney World, used to be the Polynesian Village. I wish we had stayed there on our trip to Disney last year. It's where we stayed when we went to Disney as kids. It has grown and looked very nice.

Klytus Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Re: A Thread for Random Musings The day is a curious blend of busy and slow. Busy because I've lots of laptops and PCs to work on. Slow because all of it is imaging and configuration, which is a lot of "run-this-and-wait" work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vondy Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: A Thread for Random Musings /Rant on! So, there I am catching an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent. In the opening sequence to Hassidic teens run across a dead body on Shabbat morning and have a four or five line debate about whether or not its permitted to call the police. They finally decide the matter is life and death and make the call. Its not life and death, the guy is already dead, but if it had been alive [even mortally wounded and unsavable] they would have been absolutely correct. I give the writers credit for trying. We could simply conclude the boys were in error about the halacha in this case. Here is the problem: why were these boys carrying their mobile phones on Shabbat to start with? The phones are muktzeh - a class of items not handled on shabbat because using it entails a normally forbidden labor. Orthodox Jews of any stripe, let alone Hassidic Jews, dont walk around with mobile phones / pagers on Shabbat unless they are medical or police personnel. These kids would never be running around with them on Shabbat. And this completely ignores issues of carrying in the public domain on the Sabbath. I would add, the depiction of Orthodox Jews in the Law and Order franchize as a whole sucks major wind. Its not just the details, which I can ignore for the most part. But, I had no idea we were either 1) big hypocrite sinners, or 2) unmasculine ineffectual near-sighted bookworms. SVU is the biggest repeat offender on these latter depictions, though the flagship Law and Order has done it on occasion as well. Criminal Intent genuinely tries not to do this. For them its just a detail problem. How fricken hard is it to ask someone who actually knows what they are talking about? /Rant off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost-angel Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Dates listed on products are not when they go bad, they are when the company selling them stops assuming responsibility in case it all goes horribly wrong. Soy Milk, for instance, is good for several months, I'd peg it at 6. Use By Dates annoy the heck out of me, especially when they're on things like soda. . .

DocMan Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Ordered a La Cie 1 TB drive from Amazon. Drive arrived yesterday. That was the miracle. The "box" that the drive was "in" was essentially a flattened cardboard tube about four times the volume of the box the drive is packaged in. The cardboard ends were tucked in, but no tape, adhesive, glue or any other fixative was used to seal the box at all. Yup. That is right. They shipped valuable electronics in an UNSEALED BOX. Good news: Amazon has a page for providing feedback on packaging. Bad News: while you can submit photos, you cannot submit any descriptive text. We shall see if anything happens.
