I just experienced sleep paralysis for the first time last night. Fortunately, it was pretty short (10-20 seconds I think, probably closer to 10) but still, it was by far the most terrifying experience I've ever had. It was pretty neat in a way, too, but I can imagine that it must be really awful to get these on a regular basis and especially if they're longer.

Ugh, yeah, it's horrifying.  It's really horrifying if you've had seizures that cause partial paralysis and you can't tell if it's a seizure!  Fun times.  Thankfully it was onlya couple times.

Man, $6k to replace my AC system. Homeownership can be a pain sometime.

But then I remember that I have literally saved tens of thousands of dollars on rent.

I spent a few thousand 3 years ago and just found out last week from a family-friend pro that the reason we have to run a dehumidifier 24/7 and the a/cv never shuts off yet we stay at 75F all the time is because the unit was undersized for the house.

What a killjoy.

Also there are a bunch of other non-monetary factors to consider.  If I were still in an apartment right now rather than having bought a house I'd be seriously depressed.

The one time it happened to me, I was so thankful that I knew what it was.  It definitely made it way less scary.

I can't say with certainty that I saved someone's life, but I like to think that my vigorous horn blasting alerted the cyclist and the cross-street motorist to the guy next to me who decided to pull through the red light.

The traffic light was admittedly weird. It's a funky intersection where we have a traffic light at the first crossroads and then another traffic light at a crossroads about 50 feet past that. The second set of lights turned green, and the driver must have thought that was for us. Our light remained red. The driver stopped in the intersection which let the other driver go behind him and the cyclist go in front of him. It does make me wonder what would have happened if the driver had not stopped. Fortunately I'll never know.

Holy shit, cruises are expensive. I know this is a duh-doy statement, but it's more expensive than the initial price tag. I thought that it'd be a one-and-done deal. Nope, after the initial purchase, there are other things happening. Excursions can be hundreds of dollars extra if you want to go do things like fly over glaciers and ride in trams. I imagine that sitting on a ship for 7 days straight can be pretty boring. But once the sticker shock wore off, I can understand it. After all, the cruise line isn't offering dog sleds or fly fishing or hovercrafts. Those people have got to make a living too.

But then there are little things on the ship. A can of soda costs $3. Or you can buy the drink package for $7 a day. It pays for itself with only three sodas! It makes me so glad I gave up soda, but not everyone has. Apparently if you want coffee other than at mealtime, that's another cost. Wi-fi costs money too, which isn't unexpected, but it's no less annoying.

I'm starting to regret this cruise already, and I won't be traveling for another month and a half. Maybe if I can get all my loathing out now while I'm paying for everything, I can actually get to relaxing on the cruise. Right now, it's the opposite of relaxation for me.

Oh hey, anyone live in Louisville Kentucky?  I'm going to be there for the next four days for my friend's bachelor party type thing.

Yeah, someone lives there. Quite a lot of people actually, around 760 000. Hope this helps!

The context is that someone from here would live in Louisville Kentucky.

Given that there are approximately 7,347,000,000 people in this world, 5,244 total members, and 760,000 people in Louisville, what is the statistical probability of a user from F.DS being located within this section of the world?

More importantly: are you a Kentucky or Louisville fan? Referring to their college basketball teams of course. Living in that city allegiances must be clear

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

Context shmontext, taking things at complete and perfect face value is the best way to ensure proper miscommunication!

Alas, I suspect you're right, although there may be people who don't drop into the Random Stuff thread, so you might be better off starting a thread that asks about members from Louisville in the title.

1 – {Product: i = 0 to 759999 of [(7347000000 – i – 5244) / (7347000000 – i)]}

I think. This is confusing me slightly.

I think. This is confusing me slightly.

Alternatively, the probability is at least 1 - (1 - 76/737400)5244 = 0.4175429... and at most 1 - (1 - 76/737399)5244 = 0.4175433...

Close enough for you?
