My father and maternal grand father both got colon cancer around the same time, both got treatment and went into remission.
Both went out of remission around the same time (well, dad came out of remission and grampa got leukemia from radiation therapy) they both died 2 months apart.
Lucky me has a risk of colon cancer from both sides. Yay.
The current recommendation for colon cancer screening in those with a family history is to start routine colonoscopies at the age 10 years younger than the family member who was diagnosed. So if your Dad was 55 when he was diagnosed, you should start getting regular colonoscopies and screening at 45 (which is around the recommended age these days anyways).
Already have had 2 and due for my third. I'm 49 with a looooonnnggg history of bowel issues.
Get those colonoscopies folks, you don't want to die of embarrassment.
In high school we were messing around on the computers, got to the login for admin, didn't know the password so I mashed the keyboard a bit and hit enter. It worked.
All I can think is maybe the system was coded to accept any password if no password has been set, and they hadn't bothered setting a password
Nope, other passwords didn't work. I hit the right password randomly. Unreal probability.
Should’ve gotten picked up by a 3 letter agency then and there. You could’ve been the next super spy
Twice on one road trip, in one day, we encountered, at seperate waterfalls, the ttp (taliban) shooting up stuff trying to scare people off.
TIL the Taliban like waterfalls
Half an hour they swam in knee high water fully clothed. I mean can't judge em so did we
They should stick to the rivers and lakes that they’re used to 🧐
They stashed stuff behind the waterfall.
Na that's where batman has his lair- and he doesn't like to share
Very early in the morning, while walking to the bus stop to school, I saw, on the side of the road, just walking there, a Lobster. I am sure of what I saw. I went down to it, looked at it, really got close. It was a friggin lobster, miles away from the ocean. Now, I do live in Florida, so we're never really all THAT far from a beach, but I wasn't exactly coastal. A pretty long and arduous journey for a little crustacean to make
They keep lobsters alive right before eating them right? Couldn't it just have escaped from whatever cargo it was being transported in or some restaurant? Still unreal 😮
It really is the only conclusion I could come up with that made sense, but it was still just such a strange sight
I have no idea what year it happened, but my parents and I were driving from church (evening service) to a restaurant and a dark shadow appeared on the moon. This would have been late 80s / early 90s in the mountain west, USA, around 8PM. It kind of looked like it was cracking apart at the bottom. It stayed that way for a few minutes, so theoretically longer than something like a branch hanging over the road. It didn't move at all. It was just there suddenly. Everyone in the car saw it, and the people we met at the restaurant saw it too. I've never seen anything like it since.
I'm guessing something in space cast a shadow on it? This was before phone cameras so no evidence exists other than a weird memory.
Last summer, after driving for 6h back home from vacation with 1h more to go, suddenly, a koenigsegg jesko in full carbon appeard in the opposite lane. This 3 million car was just standing in traffic on a wednesday evening on the most random street. Still can‘t believe it to this day
This is like you're walking your sheep to school and you see a damn Dragon straight up fly past you.
Pretty much, yes. And the dragon flies past you in 1 second and you start to disbelieve your own thoughts and memories :D
