Ah, the power of natural selection. Sometimes it's chance and sometimes we tip the odds against us. Reminds me of this less deadly but really funny scene. NSFW language about wanting to be in some ------'s *** or something (his words, not mine).

 

Bahaha. . . that was great!

 

With the probability of yet another needless foreign war looming on the horizon, we can expect a jump in the number of self-proclaimed military experts to appear soon. And as this war will likely involve a conflict against a nation which possesses a non-trivial Air Force, we can predict that a lot of pedants will be mis-identifying aircraft, jumping on other people for mis-identifying aircraft, incorrectly asserting that aircraft have been mis-identified, etc.

Thus, I present this handy chart, which can be printed out in pocket-size and kept as a reference for the forthcoming hostilities:



Be careful-it's breeding season, and some of these can be *extremely* defensive of their nests.

@codrus, we found you a new shirt...

 

Already ordered.

Yes, I know. I'm the one who plugged it in, remember? It was only like 500 ms ago. You don't need to be wasting cycles telling me this.

 

But what if some hoodlum snuck up and plugged in a device to the audio jack while you weren't looking?! How else would you know?

 

But since it's Windohs, it just wants to let you know that it will ignore the device you plugged in. It will most likely keep using the onboard speakers, or perhaps randomly switch to a different audio device, it just won't be the one you plugged in. That's how my work-Dell beeslike.

(Tried to get random image by searching Dell and Swarm (drunk logic after seeing what I typed and was reminded of bees). Found out there is a dellswarm.com, wtf, I'm going to bed.)

 

So, I'm filling out the New Patient Survey form at Chicago Back Institute, and one of the questions asks "Date of onset of current episode / what activities were you engaged in when the pain began?" I got to write something I never thought I'd put on a medical form: "Getting into and out of a Mazda Miata several times, with the top up, while carrying a laptop computer."

And, since if the pictures thread, pictures of the nerves in my left leg not quite doing what they're supposed to:
