I think we all learned a valuable lesson here:

This has to be the dumbest generation of criminals. These idiots just go out & kill so they can rap about it on social media. Their main currency isn’t necessarily money &/or drugs anymore. It’s social media clout.

You have the feds getting involved with a lot of these groups now too (they just indicted a whole gang of them in North Philly) because they’re killing innocent people whether it’s by stray bullets or just mistaken identity.

So yesterday I nearly cut off the entire tip of my left index finger with pruning shears like a jabroni....luckily it was mainly the corner tip and mostly the skin with part of the nail. No bone or other damage but close per the xray. Should regenerate. Have some gnarly bloody pics of the finger but not sure they can be posted? Looks like something out of Halloween. Was bleeding like a mofo and had to go to the Lankenau ER which is always a clown show in the city....

Such a fun experience but luckily ok and not my dominant pimp hand and fingerbang digit

May change my handle name to LittleFinger to challenge @BigToe...

Way, WAY ahead of you on this. I already shuttered and screamed to myself.

I almost cut off the tip of my middle finger when I was 10. I have issues watching people cut with knives.

My partner cut off the top of her one finger knuckle this year with scissors and I saw that in slow motion. Jesus christ I legit have PTSD when it comes to hand things.

They have to have crazy money invested in politicians across the board to keep getting away with this.

It would have to be such easy public PR win as a politician(s) to really go after them & make a name for yourself otherwise.

Boeing is like the biggest corporate welfare queen of the U.S. economy...

How big is Boeing's slice of the GDP? - Marketplace

About 1%, it turns out. Plus: more stories of how we shop and a look at the California students turning to Mexico for affordable education.

When I checked in at the ER I had my sliced piece of finger in a baggie with ice....figured it was unsalvageable but I think it expedited my ER visit some...girl at the check in desk got some PTSD when I waved it at her...

Today my abstract for a poster presentation was accepted at the National Ground Water Association Conference. It's in Burlington, Vermont September 23 and 24. It was my first abstract I've written during my professional career, so I'm pretty excited about it.

The title is :A Comparison of Geophysical Logs and FLUTe Profiles to Identify Preferential Flow Site Pathways

Congrats! I presented at the AEG conference a decade or so ago in SLC. My buddy and I put together a paper detailing work we did to identify and separate multiple contaminant plumes through sampling and in-situ data collection. Then he left the company and I had to stand in front of everyone by myself.

I'm not gonna jump to conclusions on this one; tires are terrifying things and they're put under lots of stress. This one could be bad luck. And if not luck, maybe bad maintenance schedule by Delta

How about getting the tip of your finger chopped off in the custard machine, having a customer find it, refuse to give it back to you so he can use it as evidence in a lawsuit, and then freeze and destroy the digit so it can't be re-attached?

I went to the Battelle Chlorinated Solvent Conference this year in June, but did not present. I'd done some really cool work, but didn't think it would have made it to that conference. I tried my hand at this one and I got it.

I have a question

No, a hotdog is not a sandwich.

It is, but that is not the question.
