I promise you that the most interesting man in the world does NOT live in Victoria, TX. Cross my heart! It is quite possible to be blind and drive. My father is legally blind and has been for several years. He has macular degeneration which affects your central vision where the cones (color and faces) are gathered, but leaves the peripheral vision relatively unaffected. He drove WELL past the time he should have stopped. It’s selfish, stupid, imbecilic, childish, and a good fucking way to kill yourself or someone else, but it’s possible. ---

I may have missed this one, but when someone remarked that picking up a chicken and a cabbage that he’d found by the side of the road (he guessed it fell off a truck) was a good way to contract food poisoning, he came back with: What are the odds that a chicken will have been poisoned by a terrorist and left on the side of the road? Or a cabbage? … The only thing “wrong with me” is that my immune system has been allowed to develop antibodies to common pathogens through repeated exposure, so I can eat anything anywhere in any third world country, and have no disconcerting effects. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > To be honest, I used to do this all the time when I didn’t have room in my fridge and just reheated it without suffering ill effects. Hell, even my folks used to leave soup out like that. Since I’m feeding others these days, I don’t do it, since it actually is pretty bad from a food safety standpoint. But I don’t think it’s particularly odd to leave food on the stovetop overnight and eat it the next day (usually after heating it up and boiling it good,) One day, sure - depending on what it is. A month, as one post above said? NO! ---
