4 non-impacted wisdom teeth removed at age 31. I remember up to when they put me under, but not the first few minutes after waking up. Remember being groggy for a bit but lucid. Not much pain throughout the whole experience. Only used a small fraction of the meds they recommended. The only real unpleasantness was swallowing blood and getting food stuck in the holes (until I realized how to high-pressure swish water through there). It takes awhile for the holes to fill in but you get used to it and it's no big deal.

What's the point, you may ask. I suggest you think deeply upon the following:

"Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson."
- Princess Irulan

This is not amusing. This is dark and disturbing. Would downvote if I could.

So, what do you all think about the way lobster is typically cooked then? Throw em in a pot and boil em alive. Listen to their screams as they die a horrible death. Nope, that's not barbaric at all, right? Totally civilized...

Reminiscent of Session #23 from Knockin' On Heaven's Door (Cowboy Bebop movie).

This should be looped in all server rooms containing communications equipment.

This guy should get together with the guy from Ryanair pushing vertical seating.

That last (slowest) firing at 3:00 sounds amazing through headphones. Great stereo recording there with the gun firing on the left, explosion in the middle, and reverberation alternating back and forth a bit before mostly settling to the center by the end.

This is an outrage, YouTube! Clearly artistic material.

13 was way too umm..something..japanese? I don't know. I couldn't finish it either.



I couldn't finish 13 either. It's not because it was too Japanese. It just plain sucked. It went straight to the bargain bins in Japan and got trashed left right and sideways by the Japanese gaming blogs.

Brilliant. Upvote for Shenmue and Grandia. He could have a field day with all of the dialogue from those games. Especially Shenmue, which featured some of the weirdest sounding English ever.

Regarding whether or not the mission was to kill him... based on the information we've been fed, isn't the answer clearly yes? To accept that they would've taken him alive if possible, wouldn't we also have to also accept that this elite SEAL team was incapable of a non-lethal takedown? Tranquilizer dart, gas, taser, shoot him in the kneecaps, Vulcan neck pinch, whatever. It's not like he took cyanide at the first sign of trouble. They shot him in the head.

This was too painful to watch. On many levels.

How did Matt Uelmen ever come up with this in the first place... what a stroke of genius.

I've been reading Ian Fleming's novels lately and I have to question the use of James Bond in support of this cause. Women were highly objectified in the world of James Bond. (Or maybe that's the point and I missed it?)

Thankfully, Craig's facial expression is quite appropriate. I think he's about ready to introduce that obnoxious narrator to the Beretta under his armpit.

This is not a time to be sad. The best is yet to come. There's a whole universe out there waiting for us. It's time to reach for the stars on a larger scale than ever before.
