If it's off-topic, post it here. No politics. Carry on my wayward son.

A $15 toll to drive into part of Manhattan has been approved. That’s a first for U.S. cities

Mod Note: there is a zero tolerance for political talk here. It will earn you an instant, lifetime ban from the thread. Also, spare me the "I didn't know that was political". Yes you did.

This thread should be about fun, cool, interesting things or supporting one another.

I've never told anyone (not even my MD) this before, but I had a chest pain once. It felt like something white hot was trying to burn it's way out of my chest. I leaned my head way back and pointed my chest at the sky hoping it would burn it's way out of my chest, but it didn't. That's when I learned what true pain really is.

I am having a tough couple months. Left a long term job and decided to start my own business (that part was good, major stress relief/QOL improvement).

Immediately after, I got hit in the head from behind and mugged in DC, spent a couple weeks in a concussion fog.

Then I got a massive toothache and today I get a root canal.

I have not been getting as much structure built in for my new business as I should.

I hope things start going better for you.

I'm watching ABC 7 and I'm waiting for someone to call in and say the earthquake was caused by a fart from Howard Stern.

I live in a nice co-op in a very nice neighborhood and was recently under siege from a mice infestation, where I caught 19 of them in traps.

When I complained to a member of the board whom I thought was my friend, she said it was my fault because I was the only one with the problem.

Turns out there a quite a few others under siege.

f***k her.

My sister, who's a total conspiracy theorist, told me about the sept 8th solar eclipse a few weeks ago. She mentioned the last time this exact eclipse happened was in the 1800's and how there were a bunch of earthquakes and how, we should be prepared for the same. I brush off a lot of shit she says lol.

She called me yesterday after my dealership was shaking from the earthquake, wondering if we felt that up here in CT. She then reminded me of the convo we had a few weeks prior.

So I went down the New Madrid rabbit hole, and I gotta say it's interesting.

For those of us unfamiliar or uninterested in following you down the rabbit hole, what's the alleged conspiracy?

Sequence of very bad earthquakes for a few weeks that'll lead to power loss, which will lead to other not so fun stuff.

Then there's the biblical stuff that I didn't really delve into cause I don't want to sound like a nutjob.
