How did you guys manage to stay awake for three bloody days straight? How much coffee did you drink?

I don't drink coffee and didn't then either, so I think it's a case of managing to push yourself beyond the point where your body ceases to recognize damage and is close to automatically shutting down by focusing on your task/tasks so intensely that everything else, even base survival instincts cease to matter

I think there's only three times you'd ever stay up that late:

• Your life depends on it
• You want to
• You're so focused on something you forget (a lot of people have died like this)

Alternatively, insomnia

How do you forget to sleep for that many hours?

[Parsely]

By having lots and lots of fun.

By not noticing that it's been that many hours.

So many tragic honeymoons.

I just caught myself apologising to a pair of underpants because I decided to wear a different pair instead.

Sad thread was originally minor sad thread, apparently.

As it seemed needed, here is this thread.

Something that made me kind of sad was that the calculus teacher explained something by means of a man jumping down the Eiffel tower.

I however have no problems with Dwarf Fortran gravity testing towers.

The circle is full.

Oh, I do that all the time. My friends think it's funny when I say "thank you" to the ATM.

Too focused on git gud

I unashamedly thank the nameless Google search thing on Android still
Particularly since it responds (:

Staying awake during the day seems pretty easy, there's just that hump from 2-4AM really.  Playing energetic music (on earbuds of course) helps get through it when I need to.  Then I'm pretty much set till sunset.

I haven't technically done two consecutive all-nighters though (getting 2-3 hours a night for a few days doesn't count).  I kinda want to give it a try...  I probably could, since weekends have gotten really slow for us lately.  'Course I have a deficit still right now, even have caffeine ready for my tabletop gaming tonight.

(I think last night I got... 6-9, then 10:00-12:00.  5 hours isn't that bad but I was already sleepy and the interruption disrupts it)

That's adorable.

Apparently Fort McMurray, in Alberta, Canada, is on fire. It looks pretty horrifying.

A wildfire got out of control. Way out of control. The entire town has been evacuated.

Yes. I'm glad I'm more Central Alberta, not from Fort Mac.
It's frightening to watch on the news, and the smell of fire has me paranoid, though.
