That Moment...

TMW the train stops...

Not mine, thank goodness

430 Passengers spend night aboard train trapped by heavy snow

 

Fairness is for fights where the stakes are a nice shiny cup and bragging rights, not the future of the human race. No, when it's actually important you cheat like a bastard.

 

I wonder if Britain also cheated all those times it tried to screw over the future of the human race...

 

TMW when you're outmaneuvered and rendered useless....

 

TMW when an iPad is just a really big iPhone with more memory and no phone service. TMW it arguably also counts as a PC.

TMW when an iPhone is stronger than really old desktop computers.

 

TMW Rip Van @Adenosine Triphosphate wakes up and finds himself in the 21st century.

 

That tablet has more computing power than all of NASA when they sent those guys to
the moon in '69. But sure it is magic.

 

TMW you start tracking your food/counting calories again, and you're reminded how many calories a good craft beer has.

 

That moment when you thought that eating a spoonful of that powdered Ovaltine stuff (dry) would taste good...
PSA: Do not eat it dry!!!

 

TMW you just watched the end of the Vikings-Saints football game and cannot believe what you just saw.

 

The Saints won!?

 

Oh god, sportsball....

 

That moment you tell a co-worker what an asshole your boss is, then realize he's standing behind you.

 

TMW the man from the gas company comes for the annual safety inspection and wants to know where the chimney for your water heater exits the building.

I dunno, it's a fucking apartment, check with management.

Plus the language barrier has him so flustered that he explains everything two or three times, when he could have just wasted my time once. Run your little leak detector, check for carbon, note that I don't have carbon monoxide or smoke detectors because I like living on the edge, and let me sign off on your tablet, dammit. Yes, here's my phone number, no, I'm not going to answer because I won't be able to understand what you're saying.

Are we done yet?

Nice guy, just way out of his league.

 

Or the outside wall, it seems.

Dunno.

 

I didn't know water heaters had chimneys, the more you learn.

 

The default for water heaters in Japan is the gas-fired on-demand type. Basically, there's a flow switch, so when you turn on the hot tap, a section of tubing gets heated by a gas flame, turn it off and the fire goes out. In an apartment building at least, such things need little chimneys.

 

TMW you start your car after a long day of work...
And it's been blizzardin' the whole day.
And you didn't get a parking spot with an outlet so you could've pre-heated your car interior and engine.

So the drive home is basically like driving an igloo with wheels. The same visibility and maneuverability, especially when going downhill, plus about as warm.

 

TMW you realize how suicidal idiots are over here in 'Murica.
