Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was the big to-do in that movie about fracking.

Edit: Lighting the tap water on fire, I mean. Not the other.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I just learned that was a real word recently! Which makes it even more annoying when people spell the BSG expletive that way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wait, so now just anyone can light water on fire?!?

Anyone who lives in a natural gas area with a poorly vented well, yes.

This part:

But stories like Vargson's beg the question: couldn't this energy be harvested without the unfortunate side effect of, you know, setting people's kitchens aflame?

Is urban legend. Inflammable water occurs in areas where there is fracking because fracking happens where the natural gas is - there isn't a cause and effect relationship there. [link]

[eta - Oh wait, I didn't see the WSJ article. No time to read it now, but I'm curious to see what it says.]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Modcloth is having a sale, but I don't need a new jacket, dammit. Why do they keep doing this to me?

This is the introduction to the e-mail I sent to the CRAs about that thrice-dying patient:

According to the report the site has submitted, the patient died three times on three different days, and the most recent death is ongoing, which seems torturous, not to mention non-compliant with the SAE Reporting Guidelines.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When I worked at my dad's office one summer, there was a medical report on a claimant saying, "Patient suffered cardiac arrest and sudden death. This was particularly serious considering patient's history of cardiac arrest and sudden death."

move out and draw fire

Or, probably, it's already been done.

Yeah, it has. Not to my satisfaction, so I think there's room for a Buffista business plan.

Who here doesn't know what "fapping" means?

I'm not dirty, am I? Just...informed, right?

I have my suspicions, but have never sought out confirmation.

Have a community meeting tonight. Kinda don't wanna go, but feel I need to stay informed.
