I ALMOST DIED TODAY.

I am super shaken right now. My grandmother was visiting and parked her car in our driveway, and I was taking the trash cans back from being emptied when this tiny '04 Honda Civic crashes head-on into the minivan that my grandmother drives. It happened THREE FEET from where I was standing. i was crying so hard afterward because if it hadn't been for the car, I would've died. The woman was looking at her phone when she crashed and was lucky to escape with minor injuries. No one else got hurt but OH MAN, that was so scary!

@mikey420 really? O.o

I have an online friend, he recently got a heart surgery, and when he went back home
He fell down the stairs. and (idr the name of that organ) teared the sack around his heart
So he went back to hospital :(

Yeah was pretty crazy. Ended up with a defibulator/pacemaker... I felt fine up until I suddenly collapsed at work... Well long story short a heart arythmia combined with a condition called myocarditis caused my blood pressure to tank and my heart to race in excess of 200 bpm trying to compensate for the drop in blood pressure. Yet somehow I never actually went into cardiac arrest. Though my doctors are still astounded as to how I survived in that state for over 30 minutes without help... I'm turning 30 this December and already my ticker is failing.

wow...
first, 200bpm? are you serious?
That's my minimal bpm when starting cardio-training
I can top like 230-240 when doing too much of it
though, doctors say its due to the medecine i take :P

Well fair enough but at rest that's an absolutely insane heart rate. Not to mention sustained for well over 30 minutes rather dangerous under most circumstances. My usual resting rate was 60/70 bpm. My typical heart rate under stress never peaks beyond 170. Or never did before.... Regardless the combination of rather unlikely circumstances resulted in a sever worsening of my heart arythmia. To a point where my doctors felt a pacemaker needed.

That's why you have your phone off when you're driving, some people just don't get it do they? It's for the saftey of you and others. It won't kill you to have a missed call.

@Noctosphere I'm confused, it says in the post "The woman was looking at her phone when she crashed and was lucky to escape with minor injuries." Am I missing something?

Was the lady that caused the accident young? Usually it's highschoolers and teenagers that cause these kinds of accidents since they are more focused on their Snapchat and Instagram then actually paying attention to their surroundings.

Also happy that you came out of this incident without getting injured.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
