There is a scientific explanation for this

Robots. As soon as 2018, the U-2 might be out of service, being replaced by UAVs.
Why is this a big deal to me?
In the words of James May of Top Gear fame after flying in a U-2, ''If everybody could see that once, it would completely change the face of global politics, religion, education... everything.''

And in possibly as few as three years absolutely nobody will see that wonderful view again, because robots are cheaper.

Well, I guess that doesn't piss me off so much as it just makes me sad.

Sure. Since the retirement of this baby, the only people who have ever flown higher than aviators in U-2s are astronauts. But the U-2 is planned to be replaced by unmanned aerial vehicles (AKA drones), this one in particular.

James May (Captain Slow of Top Gear fame) described his U-2 flight as "Being in a different sphere of human activity." And fewer and fewer people are getting to see it. I don't know, it just makes me sad. End of an era...

I had no idea the U-2 was still in service. It's one of my favorite aircraft and I'm still looking for an affordable diecast replica for my shelf. I've seen it in person, and that wingspan is incredible.

I had over a dozen ear infections by the time I was 8. By some miracle, I'm only a little hard-of-hearing.
I need to see the doctor; I actually don't know if it's okay for me to swim at this point.

I once got really badly ill, and in amongst the rest of it, I got both ears infected at the same time. That was in my teenage years, but for years afterwords I'd get minor ear infections every now and then. So I know just how fun they can be. But good luck with getting it checked out. Hopefully there's a solution out there that will give you something to work with, or at least get you clear on what the limitations are (like if you can go swimming or not). Would probably be worth it just for the peace of mind.

Durandal said:

Oh, fuck that noise. I had those all the time as a kid. It turned out to be fluid in my ear canals that was causing it. I had tubes put in on two separate occasions, and I no longer have ear infections. I was miserable and my mom did everything she could to make it better. I owe her a ton of gratitude.

Ouch, ear infections sound rough. I get migraines every few months that just shut me down. I don't know how that compares to an ear infection though...

They are not fun at all. I had them on a regular basis from 2 years old to about 8. I was up all night and in constant pain. My poor mom would be up all night trying to make me feel better.

Fallenangel700 said:

They come in a lot of varieties. I've had a lot, but only a couple of them actually hurt. That said, they hurt like hell. Not just the eardrum either, but also the outer ear. One of them made it so just touching my ear felt like having a nail driven through it. Haven't had anything like that for about three years though.

I'm glad I wasn't experiencing that when I fell and almost split my ear in half (completely unrelated to the infections, I'm just not good with these things).

I like My Little Pony. The show is entertaining and the characters are enjoyable.

There is, however, one extremely pressing issue with the franchise. It's no fault of the franchise itself; the problem lies in the nature of the select group of humans that take their enjoyment of it too far.

The brony fandom is, for complete lack of a more appropriate or politely-worded descriptor, an utter trainwreck of batshit turbo-lunacy. This zeitgeist is akin to the final, histrionic gibbering of a dying God, driven mad by His own failed creations. There are many who develop an immunity to the more severe effects of the fandom, but those who fail progress to the terminal stage: choosing to become absorbed into the gestalt hivemind of positive reinforcement and rebuking all other personal identifiers in favour of one overarching label: "Brony."

Would that I could feel pity for such lost souls, but when I look upon the legions of unwashed fanatics whom worship these magical cartoon horses as their sole purpose for living, I can only experience a sense of deep shame and embarassment for the human race. It is my one hope that the universal constant of death will claim this generation of the franchise as it has so many other forms of media in the past; then, perhaps, shall I find solace, if I can suppress the traumatic experiences of its life.

I love writing essays, I've just been in college since fall of 2008 and got burnt out from writing too many care plans, patho cards, and research papers.

It's hard to believe that it was only a couple years ago that I could still get away with writing a 10-page paper on Pony fandom. :/

Durandal said:

In nursing, actually. I'd changed my major twice (computer tech, pre-pharm, then nursing) and was mostly part-time while I was taking my generals (and got set back a year when they changed requirements on me ಠ_ಠ) so it's probably not as much as it looks like on paper, but it's still been waaay too long since I first enrolled and I'm looking forward to finally being done with it for a while.

The good news is I'm within 3 months of being able to take my boards and I am super excited to finally begin my career. You know, assuming I don't accidentally kill a patient or something.

Math, anything harder than basic multiplication is a no-no for me, I struggled through math all throughout highschool

Well, how about people who are just plain dumb? My dad and I were heading to my brother's house when we got into an accident. The stupid bitch that hit us was not paying any attention to the road, most likely looking at her phone, which is illegal in Illinois. The best part? She didn't have her driver's license, nor her proof of insurance, and neither did the guy in the pickup truck she pushed us into. My dad also has a hole in the front bumper due to the trailer hitch socket in the truck's bumper. Thankfully, a police officer saw the whole thing and the lady got a ticket for not having a license or proof of insurance.

I get where you're coming from, but it really depends on the game. Halo, for instance, is focused on the campaign, but let's face it, no one buys Battlefield for the story mode (I still play it, though).

Also, when people call any rotary cannon (AKA Gatling gun) a "Minigun," that really gets my anthropomorphic goat.

The minigun was not named ironically. It is much smaller than its contemporaries. Yet people often refer to the gun in the latter image as "Mini" gun when it is quite obviously not mini.

And never, ever, call either of those a chain gun. I don't know where people got the idea to call them that...

bad grammar/poorly used context.

example (from dead island wikia):

Blue Skull Altar: Act I. Bunker 06 in the Resort area will be surrounded by zombies, with a single survivor, Jose Garcia, to rescue. Once he is rescued, the player should travel through the manhole in the bunker to the other area of it. There is a metal door on the level, and propane tanks on the level above. The player must place the tank next to the door and shoot it to blow it open. The altar is on the wall underneath the big blue arrow.

um, yeah, wtf are you talking about when you say "level"? the game doesn't have or use "levels" in that way/context you idiot. surely the guy who wrote that could've used his brain to try and think of something better fitting, right? the only "levels" in dead island at all are the skill lvls as part of the rpg skill/lvl up system. i had to deal with that crap when looking for one of the skulls earlier today too while running through the sewers when i had this: "level, level...wtf is this nutjob talking about, upper level? does he mean upper FLOOR?"

can't stand it when people do crap like that. all it does is make things needlessly confusing and in no way helpful. i bet if i spoke with him and asked what he meant by level when i asked what the heck he meant by level he'd get just as confused as me. then i'd have to explain why he should've said floor, not level.
