    Reminiscent of Fight Club.

    Yeah I was disappointed that the dog lived. Totally ruined what could have been a real feel good story.

    I was in a position to help someone on my way into work yesterday morning but because I was late/tired/surprised/scared, I sort of just watched the situation shrink into my rear view mirror. And I’ve sort of felt like a piece of shit since. This is a good reminder to do better.

    Absolutely crazy story about a nurse in Germany who has confessed to killing 43 people in ICUs that he has worked in. But records show that upwards of 300 people died, either during his shifts or shortly after. Apparently he has some type of narcissistic disorder, where he would administer lethal doses of drugs and then resuscitate patients. Negligence everywhere, from fellow workers, supervising physicians, and initial prosecutors.

    That's messed up.

    This is one of my favorite XKCDs"
    https://xkcd.com/1688/

    The church was getting rid of the old globe they had in there, so I snagged it and brought it to work. Using this I was able to determine that the globe was made in 1952-53.

    This was in 1968. Like I said, I am ignorant of the details of the civil rights movement. I just didn't see it growing up in the west. But I thought that was crazy it happened just a couple of years before I was born.
