The stuff of which my recurring nightmares are made.
I haul gasoline. Already had a brush with death several times.

Somebody having a medical episode. Talk about near miss.

Somebody running from the cops and driving on the wrong side.

And someone rear ending me going 100+ miles an hour.

I am blessed not to have had those kind of incidents, I am sure.

I truly hope you are now, and will be later able to escape the bad dreams and memories.

I wish I could.

Bad dreams? Haven't had any. Otherwise I would have changed carriers a long time ago.

As for memories...........

:eek:

Change of underwear is needed.


I'd have to ask the driver why he decided to maintain speed and stay beside, while the semi was clearly moving over and slowing down.
I would have been slowing to stay behind the semi so as not to be in the position. Situational awareness

Yeah.
Lots of them over the years. Some bad enough my wife wakes me up so I'll stop moaning or crying out in my sleep.

I'm glad that accident of yours pictured wasn't any worse than that. Hope the driver and passengers weren't badly hurt.

Here's a new one for the Darwin Award! They should've just let them eat Tide Pods and the gene pool would've weeded itself out by now. :facepalm:

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/borax-tiktok-trend-safe-dangerous-boron-182225256.html

People are ingesting borax.

Also known by its chemical name sodium borate decahydrate, borax is a salt typically used to kill ants and boost laundry detergent, among other household cleaning needs. It is also found in some kinds of toothpaste and cosmetics. Now TikTokers are drinking it, claiming that a pinch of borax dissolved in water, or even mixed into a smoothie or coffee, has plenty of health benefits.

Experts weigh in

While there are plenty of TikTokers waxing poetic about borax, many experts on the platform are ringing alarm bells. “Borax is toxic; do not drink it,” Dr. Meghan Martin, who regularly shares health advice on the platform, warned in a TikTok response to the trend. She pointed out that consuming borax can lead to kidney failure or death, among a slew of other symptoms.

Dr. Anant Vinjamoori, chief medical officer at Modern Age, says, "As a general guiding principle, substances designed for cleaning and industrial use should not be ingested, and borax is no exception to that rule of thumb. There are some claims that borax, in very small amounts, can be used as a nutritional supplement due to its boron content, but the risks outweigh the potential benefits, and it's not recommended by most medical professionals to consume."

Tiktok pushes the most degenerate and self-destructive stuff to the top HERE while in China it is completely geared towards academics, masculinity and patriotism to the state. I guess it's part of that 5th generation warfare I've been hearing about. I think here in the US we are currently at .5 generation warfare, going back to zero.
