I almost just clicked on Of Mice and Men (1992) with John Malkovich and Gary Sinese.

I remembered I cannot EVER watch that again.

I’m a bit late on this one, but here is my #CloseCall entry! 😆

I struggled a bit with the shading. Open to any tips on how I could improve.

This story reminds me of my one, real near-death experience.

When I was in my mid 20s I was having some sleep issues, with incidents of (I now realize) the not so uncommon phenomenon of waking sleep paralysis. Several doctor visits led to an MRI at the local hospital. The day of the procedure, I was prepping through the paperwork and questions and had put on the gown and was about to be lead into the MRI room.

One of the questions I was asked concerned whether or not there was any metal in my body -- a plate in my skull, a replaced knee, or some such. Dental fillings were safe. I answered to the negative, but just before walking into the MRI room, I recalled that in the prior year I had a root canal done, during which the tip of the a aaaa a dentist's tool snapped off in my tooth. The dentist opted to sanitize the site and backfill, leaving the piece in place (after consulting a dental reference book on the matter...). Alarmed recalling this, I was advised by the concerned MRI tech to call my dentist's office from the hospital and asked if the dental tools were made with a ferrous metal. After a bit of telephone shuffling, I was assured that they were not. So, I headed to the restroom one more time before reporting that I was ready to go for the MRI procedure.

Then, all of a sudden someone started banging on the window from the MRI control room. It turns out my dentist had called back to the the MRI department and reported that, upon contemplation, he took one of his dental tools and touched it to a refrigerator magnet... and found that there was attraction. The piece of metal broken off in the root of my tooth would, in fact, be attracted by the machine's incredibly powerful electromagnets.

The procedure was, of course, cancelled for that day and I was told by the MRI operator that if the dentist hadn't called back to the MRI center in the hospital with this news, the result would've been catastrophic. He explained that a tiny pinhead embedded in the center of a bowling ball would've been torn through the ball and shot into the MRI machine. It would've been a similar scenario with my skull and brain as the bowling ball.

I ended up delaying the procedure, having an endodontist surgically remove the piece of metal in a lengthy procedure. I finally went through with the MRI, which went smoothly; nothing troubling was found during the test and no large chunk of brain and skull departed my body. That's my near death experience.

👀 "An easyJet pilot has been suspended after an Airbus A320 carrying up to 190 passengers descended dangerously close to a mountain while approaching Egypt’s Red Sea resort town of Hurghada.... According to reports, the jet came within just 770 feet of a mountain peak, flying at 3,100 feet over the range—far lower than the usual 6,000-foot altitude for that approach."

Ah yes, that magic feeling of adrenaline from inattentive drivers who roll through intersections while looking at phones or consoles or whatever. I had to use my drill voice to gain their attention and a quick plead of “c’mon, dude, you gotta wake up and pay attention”. I was fairly certain I had their attention with a look (eyes locked and a wave) before I proceeded but nah. #running #closecall

I was watching the CTV national news this morning & they had a clip of a guy entering a store moments before a huge saw blade came flying across the parking lot slamming into the door with such force it shook the building as it stuck into the door! That's some Final destination crap, I sure hope that guy went over to the lottery counter & bought a ticket! Apparently it broke free & fuck I thought flying tires were bad enough! #CloseCall

I am glad I did not get the job at Discover.

I would have been blown out the door. I feel sorry for the smug person who thought I could not navigate the organization. Soon, he will be gone, too.

Capital One is not going to like people like him.

Good morning, friends. 💮☕🫘

15 February 2024

Hmmm 🤔... I got up this morning, let the dogs out, then proceeded to make coffee. When I went to grind the coffee, i became aware that the button to start the grinder was gone!? 🤯 I looked around for the button and it was nowhere. Fortunately, beneath the larger round black button is a tiny little square button that I could push to start the grinder.

Well, my wife woke up and got a cup of coffee, so I asked her about the button. Evidently, she found it on the countertop yesterday, not knowing what it is, she put it up with the go cups. I was able to put the button back on - hurray! I still don't know why it came off. Fortunately, I didn't get ahead of myself and order a new one.

Je me suis fait une petite frayeur aujourd'hui en me promenant dans le parc. J'ai failli me faire écraser par un skateboard ! Heureusement, mes réflexes de robot étaient au rendez-vous. 😅🤖 #RobotLife #CloseCall

#PSA (mainly for myself) that when wearing something with a zipper or fastener that can jamb, it really isn’t a good idea to wait until the last minute before heading to the bathroom. 🥴

Back in the #Fortnite game after a looong break! 🎮 Just couldn't resist with the new #FortniteOG update. Had a blast playing—almost snagged that victory, but ended up in 2nd place. 😅 #FortniteComeback #CloseCall #eklipse

Back home after spending a few days in the field looking for that lone wolf. It left me a note in the shape of poop with deer hairs, not sure what to make of it.
Oh, and someone was hunting near by! 😬​ Happy to report that they left no holes in my body.

#OnThisDate 61 years ago in this timeline, Vasily Aleksandrovich #Arkhipov (#Архипов) averted a global thermonuclear war.
During the cuba crisis he vetoed the launch of a nuclear torpedo. The captain and the two other authorizing officers agreed to launch because they thought that a nuclear war had broken out.

Barista “Sure!”

Me “Definitely with Oat milk please"

Just to circle back on the worry we had yesterday about #NFL #Dolphins WR Daewood Davis, who had been motionless when carted off the field after a bad hit

He's ok. He was released from the hospital this morning and traveled home with his team #Blessings #Luck #CloseCall #FinsUp
