Be me
Riding motorcycle for leisure
Come up behind a line of slow cars
“Bruh 🙄”
Passing zone, decide “fuck it”, twist throttle
Zooming past cars in opposite lane
Lead car turns in front of me as I’m approaching at speed
It was at this moment he knew… he fucked up
Barely squeeze by on shoulder
Pull off onto a side road a mile later to reflectFake and gay, I know.
Ride smart, friends.Still feel bad for the fright I probably gave the driver…
Right tighty became right loosely.
Updated the number of key iterations on my Bitwarden password manager. Logs out every device instantly. It’s fine, just log back in right? Well guess which dodo put their Bitwarden 2 factor OTP inside Bitwarden and nowhere else, and didn’t write down the recovery key or anything. Yeah.
Lesson learned. Also made me realise how few places that have 2 factor authentication actually care about it for password recovery. I think Bitwarden was the only place with 2 factor where I couldn’t get back in (that I cared about anyway). The rest I was able to get my account back through other means
Making cookies at work, had oven fan on, turned pan sideways and something was preventing it getting all the way in. Pushed that something with the pan and immediately heard a large rattling noise as the something (a thermometer) was rattling around inside the large ass fan.
Realized I fucked up half way down a cliff jump into water that was way too high and I broke my back. Having that realization mid air was terrible. I’m very lucky to not be paralyzed from it
“The view from halfway down”
Damn. I’m sorry that happened, but I’m glad you’re not paralyzed. That must have been truly terrifying.
How did you hit the water? were you aiming for a belly flop, or dive? or were you just jumping in without thinking of the other? What injuries did you sustain if any?
Crushed my T-11 vertebrae from my legs bending over my head because I landed leaned back a bit but I also possibly hit the bottom I have no memory of the moment of actual impact. I was freaking out in the air which didn’t help at all. I was also not sober
Username checks out
Oh dang, so there’s also a chance you hit the bottom of the water as well? Hope you’re fully recovered now.
Curious: how can you even know (or guess) what height is doable?
Apparently it’s the fuck around and find out method
I think the cliff was 75 feet above the water but it was the first and last time I was there and could be more. The water had also dropped in depth according to my friends after, due to drought (was a river)
Background: shouting at a cop for violating the rights of a woman and harassing her to tears in an attempt to force her to divulge what she had done that night to implicate herself.
Cop: shut up
Me: … or what, are you going to arrest me?
Cop: <arrests me>
I mean… you hadn’t committed a crime? So like… Settlement? Maybe?
Or maybe settlement for the lady?
Probably not that would imply cops have consequences for their actions.
I was charged with resisting/hindering arrest with the justification the officer had to direct his attention at me.
It was enough to justify, or rather the words of the officer claiming that provided sufficient justification …
They body camera footage “couldn’t be found” and the charges were dropped.
I opted for an apology and a go fuck yourself, I also wave at the officer after concerts when I see him and give him the finger. Idk if he remembers me but I remember him. Lmao.
So lose, win.
Driving in snow, I gave myself a good four times the distance to brake like they teach you. It wasn’t enough. I did get it slowed some, under 20mph I would estimate, and rode in slow motion as I rear-ended a brand new, lifted, very expensive looking pickup.
No injuries, fortunately. That was the most “time dilation” I’ve ever experienced. Somehow it happened so fast but also so slow.
Same feeling, River at Brockway in Truckee, lost traction on an ice patch and time slowed until a crunch, then it caught up. Luckily for me we knew the same people and the cost was fair.
Hah I’ve felt this. Same story. Left tons of space, at least that far. But sometimes the I-70 is a bitch, even with winter tires, slow speeds, awd, etc. Not enough though, and I think the awd saved me. I managed to pull up next to the car I would have hit, with literal inches to spare left and right (concrete barrier < me > other car.
I just looked over at the other driver and we both let out a big sigh of relief .
On a family trip to Seattle, a cousin and I went out to Pike Place before noon to drink and meet up with the rest of the family later for lunch. We both got hammered fairly quickly on a lot of whiskey and lost each other. I apparently decided to lay down and sleep at about 2pm. When I woke up I knew I had a problem, a problem much bigger than getting back safely. I woke on one of the piers after dark, phone dead, had to walk five miles back to my family’s airbnb. Took forever then took another forever (years) to get in good graces with my family. I do not drink to be drunk anymore after that. Love my fam too much to do anything close to that ever again.
