Ran over something or hit a pothole changing lanes, felt bad immediately, looked down at my dash and saw the tire pressure light was on, made it to the shoulder quickly, and the back right tire was already completely flat & had lost a chunk. Not great!

Then got to do 45 miles per hour with my flashers on in the right lane on the donut for a couple of exits on my way to Tires Plus.

Only 7k miles on the car too.

Another successful infrastructure week!

I have never been sick so fast in my life but I went from sort of sick yesterday to the point to today I can barely speak(it sounds like Tom Izzo after a game only ten times worse) . I already can tell it is some kind of infection because when I cough it is pure green and no I didn't drink green beer yesterday. My chest is basically rattling when I breathe.

I am not going to the hospital because I know so many people are dealing with serious flu viruses and other things but this is a little scary to me. It is so weird to try to talk and basically all that happens is squeaks mixed with words.

RIP

More explosions in Austin. Is it some serial bomber or something? Didn't read if they ever caught who did the first two (three?).

Wonder if the recent dramatizations of the Ubibomber story influenced whoever is doing this? Five bombs in one month.

Thank you, Calvin.

Some weird shit going on upstairs right now.

Yes, No.

More like probably not. After fumbling the first bombing (Police said it was isolated, that the man could have blown himself up with his own bomb) the police believe these bombings to be targeted at minorities. President Trump - as far as I can determine - has not said a word about it.

I don't think they can say either way whether it's targeting minorities but there is a trend so far. Uncertain what race the latest two victims are.

Would be pretty scary to be in that area.

Yea, I was listening to NPR this morning and the Police are (rightfully) cautioning citizens to take care and to report suspicious packages, unattended bags, etc. The city has to be on a low boil now with this last bomb, ready to burst into panic. Hopefully they can track this person down ASAP.

They've received 730 calls already and that was before last night. The bomber probably has some extensive experience given that they don't explode when he's delivering them but often do when the next person picks them up. At least that's what the NYT story implied the FBI is thinking.

In your head or in your neighbors' apartment?

The apartment. I’m thinking they either had a small fire that they put out and are trying to cover up, or trying to cover up a dead body/murder.

I woke up at 3:30 due to very loud rapid stomping on the floor above, with the girl freaking out, screaming (mostly inaudibly, other than a few “OMG”s). Then she’s freaking out on the phone with someone. The vacuum was going for a bit, and then the shower, all while she was talking with someone on the phone. Some choice quotes I was able to make out:

“What do I do?”
“We need a plan going in”
“The $100,000 thing” (this is the minimum liability amount we need on our renter’s insurance or perhaps something MORE SINISTER)
“I’m not going to have my life ruined over this”

I figured I should get it out here so in case I "go silent" you guys will have something to tell the police.

Congrats your neighbors on the sex

"This latest explosion injured two [white] men [on bicycles] in their 20s in the southwest area of Austin. Although the previous blasts all involved packages left at homes, this explosive was on the side of the road and possibly triggered by a tripwire, said Brian Manley, the interim Austin police chief."

That's only moderately terrifying.

I have about 4 e-mail address, one or two of them that I've been using since like 1998 or something. I think it's time to clean that up
