love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

You’re being childish by cursing at them. I give them the finger and the jerk-off sign.

Well. That’s awfully hasty

Doc: Your LDL climbed from 70 to 71, we need to increase your medication

Me: Hold on. Surely that’s a rounding error in your lab equipment

Doc: It might not be

Me: … or in the equipment’s margin of error

Doc: …

Me: … or due to natural daily fluctuation

Doc: …

Me: right, see you in a year

A ski area seen from a plane flying to the U.S. from Switzerland, with trails weaving their way downhill to a base next to the St. Lawrence River.

My aviation and skiing interests intersect when I spot a ski area from the sky and try to identify it. But this time I can't--it's somewhere in Quebec, on the St. Lawrence.

(Related: Thanks again, MWC Barcelona! Having that as part of my work travel schedule seems like an occupational caper.)
