Two teenagers dead from drinking mix of racing fuel and Mountain Dew.

In what reality is drinking racing fuel mixed with ANYTHING a good idea??? 

I mean, I sort of get it if you're dirt poor and alcoholic -- I've heard of people straining shoe polish through bread or squeezing Sterno through a cheesecloth. Both these result in a toxic brew of mostly methanol (which these kids had obtained from racing fuel), which will get you drunk but also metabolizes into fomaldehyde and basically embalms you from the inside out.

But these nimrods don't seem to have been particularly poor or desperate -- just stupid.

the infinite stupidity of man.

I'm just gonna sit here and eat my salt and vinegar crinkle-cut potato crisps.
Which, incidentally, this conversation reminded me I had. Yay!

[Rolan7]

So delicious!!
The vinegar makes every individual chip a taste sensation, which means I eat them slower.  It's great.
I mean, if you don't mind a strong taste of vinegar.  In high school I couldn't stand them.

The College Board charges $31.00 extra for rush score shipping. I swear they're such a racket it's ridiculous.

Just wait 'til you get the $45.00 graduation fee, separate from the ceremony, gown, or rigamarole of actually getting your diploma. Then give them a few months until they start asking you for donations for making such a wonderful achievement possible.

At least they give you something. I'm paying $450, plus $16 a school, for the absolute privilege of sitting though 10 hours of standardized testing.

Honestly, what bugs me the most is how unnecessary it is. I get test registration fees, but $16 a test (plus $31 for rush if you need it) to email the fucking scores? That's ridiculous.

Yeah...That's really how they make their money.

They have to fund their assistant subdirectors to the submanager of the dean's assistant of the board of $fieldofstudy under the vice chancellor to the chancellor somehow, y'know? Also, those university centers, water features, stadiums, and new apartment buildings won't fund themselves, y'know.

No, not a specific college board, The College Board.

Also, huh. They're nonprofit.

[O.Wilde]

Hilariously enough, they do have a fucking massive campus with rec center and myriad other bullshit.

[chaotic skies]

My computer has been updating and restarting for the last three hours. And I wanted to finish that succession game tonight too

I let a fresh tub of chicken livers defrost in the fridge yesterday, only for them to somehow split open the hard plastic lid and start ejecting blood all over the egg carton.

Like...  Why would thawing *increase* pressure?  It was spewing liquid straight up, with enough force to split plastic.  What the fuck?

And today it did it *more*.  I ended up unsealing the tub and draining a bunch of blood out just to stop it.  I should probably cook them, but I ate a lot of eggs instead.

[O.Wilde]

Cause when stuff is totally frozen, the pressure is trapped. Thaw something kinda, and the bottle around it tries to regain it's original position, ejecting the liquid, unable to move the totally frozen blood.
