17 wowsOh holy shit.
About an hour ago, there was a massive “boom” and our whole house shook. Knocked a couple things off the walls and such.
Turns out a house about 1/4 mile away exploded. Like... EXPLODED. Initial guesses are gas leak.
We’re all fine. Scared the shit out of us. Kelsey came running out of the office crying.
Went outside and everyone in the neighborhood was out wondering wtf. Big plume of smoke.

I heard on my handheld (dispatch freq) that they needed 2 ambulances minimum, and a friend who works at the local hospital said they heard 1 fatality. -

For the first time in 30 years, Intel's market capitalization has fallen below $100 billion, marking a significant drop from its peak in 2000. This year alone Intel's stock has plummeted nearly 60% and the company is now the poorest performer in the prestigious DJIA index.

16 wowsThis is nuts. My sister's car is in the shop at the dealership and they gave her a loaner to drive this morning. Brand new 2023 Bronco Sport with 16 miles on it.
She got four miles down the road and it throws a temp warning. A few seconds later she smells gas, A LOT OF GAS. Before she can even pull over the whole engine bay explodes into flames, blowing the hood off.
She's ok, but holy crap WTF? Guessing no coolant at all caused the overheat and melted a fuel line?

16 wowsI've been dealing with on and off rib and shoulder pain over the last few weeks. I initially thought it was a workout injury, but it migrated last week from my right to my left side.
It also seemed to get better and then get worse again, randomly.
Last night, it got painful again after I thought it was getting better, and I decided to finally go into the hospital.
After 4 hours, blood tests, 1 ecg, 1 chest x-ray, another blood test, and a CT scan, I've been diagnosed with pulmonary embolism in both lungs. Two separate small blood clots.
All my other vitals were perfect, including my oxygen at 98%, - so it hasn't affected my breathing.
I'm heading in to see a hemotologist tomorrow to talk about longer-term treatment and to diagnose why the clotting is happening. My first guess is maybe covid or long covid related fallout. -
