    So, I had this procedure two days ago that was supposed to finally get rid of that double-j catheter.

    Well, my kidney had other plans - the doc informed me afterwards that they routinely check whether there are any further stones and that they indeed found another one which had already made its home inside the mucous membrane. He terminated this stone with great prejudice (using a Thullium laser, btw) which means that, as they were unable to find anything else, this time I really should be free of stones.

    The downside? Another month with a dj catheter and another stay at the hospital. Hopefully that will be the last time, for real this time. At least they didn't have to change catheters this time.

    Sounds like you're still pent up in the hospital, or taking time off at home, with another double jay catheter, hoping this time will be the last. I can see how that messes with your groove.

    Tear could probably talk about kidney function better than most, but he was banned before you needed his input.

    Some fucker spit on me on the way home from having picked up a package. I gave the worthless lonely racist fuck a good piece of my mind when it became apparent that it was deliberate and that he wasn't done being an ass, but this is the single most provocative thing that's happened to me in my 22 years in this country and I'm not yet through with processing it. I said some things I'm not proud of and he shut the fuck up once I was done but I still feel like I want grave and horrendously cruel misfortune to befall him. In the past I've been able to manage conversation or at least restraint, but there's something about being spit on that just

    Well anyway, fuck that fucker. I hope I don't have to see him in the ER.

    He seems like someone who could use a trip to the ER.

    Swiss franc jumps 30 percent after Swiss National Bank dumps euro ceiling

    Switzerland's franc soared by almost 30 percent in value against the euro on Thursday after the Swiss National Bank abandoned its three-year old cap at 1.20 francs per euro.

    Looks like money laundering hiding behind monetary policy. Didn't Switzerland do that during WWII?

    That really sucks. And I totally can empathize with the anger you feel about it.

    Am I reading you right, you accuse the national bank of money laundering?

    that truly sucks

    and lucky that it didn't go further - the sort of person who would spit on you is also the sort of person who would punch you to the ground and then kick you repeatedly in the face if you respond

    Now I have to confirm my bank that I am not American and not born in America. Thanx Obama! No if every country was like that

    So an armed guy just tried to take over the news studios to air some kind of message. Seems very calm, and says something about hackers and intelligence services, that he used to work for them, and had to air a message about how they control society. Oh and warning for a cyber attack.

    http://nos.nl/video/2016196-beelden-...os-studio.html

    in the end of that video you see him being arrested

    (Btw that was not live, the channel was taken offline immediately)

    No idea what was being said....or how the police managed his surrender, instead of a video showing the studio being shot up, or a suicide, or "suicide by cop".


    There's an uptick in terrorist threats made on social media, too. Airplanes are being diverted, grounded, and searched any time some twit makes a threat on Twitter. Meanwhile, an aero-space contract employee crash-landed a quad-copter toy from Radio Shack, on the White House lawn at 3am, and it's deemed harmless "Drunk Droning".

    WTF meets messed up groove.

    You can hear one employee talking to keep the guy calm, and the gunman, who is very calm, saying he just wants to air his speech and afterwards he's going to let the hostage go and give himself up. Then he says it's taking long, notices the police, and just does what they say. Police didn't really do anything except come in and shout to drop the gun. Seems he wasn't looking for bloodshed at all.

    On a side note, if he had been shot, right after saying he worked for the intelligence services and found out stuff that needs to be aired, that would spark tonnes of conspiracy theories

    It's still messed up when any individual can commandeer a news station like that. Or that free speech from a free press means posting security guards at the door, and patting down anyone who enters the building.

    It's no wonder terrorists have exploited the internet for their own use, and used propaganda to attack free speech, while using that freedom of speech to recruit new terrorists.

    Well yes , it is messed up one individual can do this. Though he didn't commandeer anything, was led to a wrong studio, and had one hostage for about 10 minutes. the evacuation messed up broadcasts on three channels for a few hours.

    not sure how your second part is connected to the first, but this guy doesn't appear to be a terrorist. Claims to be from some hacking collective, might just be a lone crazy guy.

    How can some guy be part of a hacking collective, that threatens a tv station, not be considered a terrorist? He's at least a domestic terrorist, right?

    Even "lone wolves" who can't be connected to a larger terrorist group can be convicted of domestic terrorism. The una-bomber Ted Kaczynski and federal building bomber Timothy McVeigh are good examples of that.

    Well, I guess it depends on your definition, of course, but not every gunman in the world is a terrorist.

    Guess I can thank myself then; )

    There's still solutions though if you really want to - I just want to be able to take pictures at times you prefer to remain quiet. Plus it apparently depends on your provider.

    you're fucking kidding me?

    you can't turn the shutter sound off on the S5?

    Hate that sound - always have it off.
