OK, let's open box 21...it is...*drumroll*

I'm sorry, Scrydan. Box 3 had $400000. Better luck next time~

Slowly to see if it's rigged.

Yay! Pick up the shield and go, uh, somewhere.

Sometimes my ISP refuses to let me on at all for a whole day. I have no idea why. I end up leeching off a nearby Wi-Fi (which is reliable as Wi-Fis go, but not as good as my usual connection).

Well, they're pretty when they're not erupting lava everywhere

I heard there's a "supervolcano" in Wyoming, hasn't erupted in 70000 years but it's showing signs of erupting soon, and it would wipe out 2/3 of the United States. That stuff is scary.

I'm a math tutor

And yeah, a lot of people are surprised to find out that I actually like math.

Why do people do this.

Some guy today claimed to be from Al Qaeda and called in a threat that he had placed bombs all over the University of Texas campus. The place was evacuated and people were gridlocked trying to get out on a rainy day.

Ugh. Probably just some joker who wanted to get out of going to class for a day, possibly inspired by the 9-11 anniversary a few days ago.

There was another bomb threat at North Dakota State University, which was also evacuated.

Also, more often than not, when a page finishes loading, it'll rearrange the page, making me lose where I was.

This.

Also, newer Firefoxes seem to be reviving the ancient IE (?) bug in which the cursor sometimes magically jumps to the first field of a form for no reason, so I end up typing half of my post into the "Thread title" field. Or the cursor will jump outside of the form entirely and my keystrokes will be ignored.

Also, tying into the above since it happens when the cursor mysteriously goes on vacation: I find it annoying that the spacebar is used for "page down". My keyboard has a perfectly functional "Page Down" key, I don't need a common typing key to duplicate its function and send the page flying downward any time the cursor fucks with me.

Investigate the crack, and also check for a light switch.

Sweep it up and down so it will illuminate each part of the wall, so I can see if there's anything there.

Seems like everything's more expensive in Europe.

On the other hand, they don't have to pay obscene amounts for basic needs like health care. For me, one trip to the ER, about 4 hours, a few tests, cost me $5000. Ugh.

I've had CDs and DVDs break on me. One of them somehow developed a crack all the way along the radius of the CD.

Yeah, and some people don't even have health insurance, such as me, because of how it's based on employer.

Why can't this country get a sane, affordable medical system for everyone? I really don't think the rich deserve better health care.

I had this dream that I had 2 apartments and was going to move out of one to lower my rent, but was trying to decide which one. Turned out one of them was infested with spiders, and one of them crawled into my ear. Eww.

Ah, but you might think our National Health Service (or NHS for short) is great.. but it attracts a lot of stupid and time wasting. There's people who actually go in for trivial things that they could deal with themselves.

As a result, such a service is good.. if you can get past the horror of waiting times.

I'd be willing to wait for non-emergency visits if it means that I could afford them. How the US system works, if you're not wealthy enough, you just don't get the care you need at all.

These laws move so slowly, while people are dying or bankrupting themselves trying not to.

And yeah, a lot less money would be needed if we took out the middlemen at the insurance companies.

Oh, by the way, any way I can get the credit for the LMB Green theme (i.e., the one that's already there, not Luna's) switched from TKB to Taryn?

(Yes, I am TKB.)

It felt like there weren't many places to post yesterday. Didn't think it was quite that inactive, though.
