You got off pretty lightly then. I went to my GP for a routine check-up and found my blood pressure had spiked, wore a BP monitor for 24hrs and got prescribed Ramipril straight away. It went up again a few months later so got put on Amlodipine as well. Hereditary in my case, just popped up in my late 40s.

Holiday rental, asked for a VW T-Cross, got a Peugeot 2008. Really annoying instrument layout/controls/everything. Drives okay but, yeah, just fucking annoying.
I also paid for a zero excess collision damage waiver through the rental website I booked on, Hertz wouldn't recognise it. They made me pay a €700 deposit before they'd hand over the keys. Utter. Cunts. At least it's black. 🦇☠️🖤

A 'proper' telescope gives you the thrilling sensation of actual photons from a distant planet hitting you square in the eyeballs, that is a pretty fucking awesome experience. If you never have I suggest you try it ASAP, local amateur astronomy club maybe?
My Pixel 5 has an astrophotography mode and I've had a lot of fun with just a tripod and my phone. The results weren't incredible but it did give me a taste for something a bit more. And the price on the Seestar is so tempting!

What are you after? You can get the Zelda, Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing amiibo cards on eBay. They take up a lot less space than the real thing and cost a lot less too.
Edit: @photoben beat me to it!

To be fair to them they weren't trying to drive into a tornado, they got pinned by those power lines that got knocked over by the storm's outflow (?) so they couldn't move. They were in its path but that was just bad luck, it goes with the territory.
These guys do know what they're doing but it's a high risk occupation, the Twistex team lost their lives in the El Reno tornado in 2013 and they were some of the most experienced and respected meteorologists in the field.
Reed Timmer intercepts tornadoes in Dominator 3 whenever he can. He's off his fucking head, would love to go chasing with him.
