It’s a very real and fairly well documented phenomenon. Depending on the underlying sickness and/or disease, it obviously doesn’t always happen, but especially in older patients close to a “natural death,” it’s common enough.

I’ve seen it dirst hand as nurse a couple of times, and in all but one, it was extremely touching and heartfelt for the families (the last one didn’t have anyone) to be able to say goodbye and speak with their relatives for a few while, perhaps convey last wishes and such. In one case, even the pain the patient had suffered for a long time all but disappeared for a while.

The one who was alone was a much sadder case. Me and a few other nurses took turns just talking with her, mostly reminiscing about her life and experiences and such. It was a profound experience, but damn if it didn’t feel sad. A whole (and long, at that) life and not a single relative or friend there at the end. Not because she was a bad person either, just bad luck. I felt worse for her than my own relatives who died surrounded by family and with elaborate wills and funerals.

To end on a more positive note, though, weird things do happen to us when we’re close. Our bodies are such a wonder in many ways, like that.

Finnish here, I’ve (somewhat) likewise seen -45c and +38 in the same town. I preferred -45c, easily.

Fuck all that noise.

When you find an MRI machine big enough for an elephant, feel free to link it to me.

As far as I’m aware, only specific parts of elephants have been inside an MRI machine, ever.

X-ray probably wouldn’t be a problem. An MRI on the other hand…

RiF ftw.

Churchill took him very seriously after having read it, and it served him well in the long run.

I ain’t got nothing against people of any colour, creed or language in general, but Clarence fucking Thomas is THE motherfucking exception. I wouldn’t piss on his smouldering corpse if it tried to give me a 50, ya hear me?

Fuck that guy with a bucket load of caltrops man. Fuck you too, just in case.

I’m happy to spew some on you, all right. All night long.

Wouldn’t be surprised at the least, but do you have a source for this?

6 feet under, just to make sure, right?

Are you trying to argue Clarence Thomas isn’t a House Nigga? Good look with that shit my man, good luck. Call me and tell me how it went.

Actually don’t call me ever again.

You should probably have looked at the differences between cultures there as it was damn near mandatory to drink milk in Norway, Sweden, Finland, and I presume Denmark, but who knows what they were up to, between 19XX and …now, really. They’ve added water now, but anyway. It really sucked for people who didn’t like milk. Anyways, what this has to do with your nazi problem = not much, but I see why you thought you’d score big there. It’s just that the whole world isn’t just America and pals. Also, your wierdass nazis drink it straight-up milk like weirdoes. PEF, my friend. Learn to love it.

Would you like to know something else they liked to obsess about in those old castles of theirs? Grails. Holy ones, especially.

Fuck that. Cow milk goes moo oo oo oo oo.

…and yes, I’m Nordic and tolerate it fucking perfectly. The only American I’ve ever dated got into this with me so hard I thought she’d die on the sidewalk out of pure spite right there. “Milk is for baby cows,” my hairy ass. It’s for delicious fucking pizzas, amongst many other delicious things.

…also if you’ve been in Finland for close to a fucking decade and haven’t figured out that yes, we fucking drink it just like that maybe it’s time to figure out a new area in the world to settle. Like a Polynesian Volcano. Fuuuck.

The fuck was this clown doing 5 years ago? 10? Begging for change until slightly more advanced chat bots could do his “job” for him? What the fuck?

I’m with you there. When I see “adds”, I want to know where they’re coming from and who’s going to tank them.

Ads, on the other hand, those I’m content with knowing my adblocker is taking care of it.

Since location wasn’t a hindrance, I’d like to see Terra just after the Unification Wars, but before the Crusade proper. The capital city of the country I live in.still exists according to fluff, probably just as minor hive, but still, it’d be something to see that with Unity propaganda reels still crackling and things slowly getting better. I probably wouldn’t live long enough to see it all go to shit either.

Living in that hopeful period when the whole planet more or less worked together either freely or …less so would’ve been interesting. It wasn’t stated I couldn’t be well off enoughmmmmm to avoid getting horribly conscripted, either :P

Early, yes. After the Unification wars, but before the Crusade proper. I find it the fluff interesting around those times.

Early 30k.
