@eschereal, I’m partly faceblind. Who are they?
Sanders/Ye?
Suddenly trying to put a good face on their tryst?
Really? I used that stupid appellation?
Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Enrique Tarrio, I think.
Yes, it is Tarrio and Huckabeast. Looks like from around 7~8 years ago.
I developed a disease due to reflux that almost killed me; my esophagus was completely blocked for more than 24 hours and I couldn’t even drink water. I’ve stopped eating anything spicy and take PPIs every day and haven’t had a serious issue since.
But I’m guessing you are looking for an acute situation in an otherwise healthy person. 
Same thing happened to me on Christmas Day in 2020 (less the almost killing me bit). If you ever get a definitive diagnosis, please share about it here (it’s apparently not a hiatal hernia).
Same thing happened to me when I saw that picture of Sanders.
There’s off road, and then there’s off road.
In my case I have eosinophilic esophagitis (also known as EoE). They had to do an endoscopy to my throat and that’s when they saw the ridges that are a sure sign. Luckily in my case the trigger is spicy food, and I haven’t had another case in a couple of years since giving it up.
Before I ended up in the hospital, I’d been having intermittent problems swallowing for years, and had no idea what it was. I even thought it was psychosomatic, where my issue was caused by not relaxing enough while I ate. Nope, it’s just a very rare disease.
There’s no cure but in my case it’s easily treated.
One of those chips might kill me. (What ultimately sent me to the hospital were spicy chicken strips from McDonald’s; it was the last thing I ate before I wasn’t able to swallow anymore.)
I really wish car companies wouldn’t run ads showing their cars/trucks/whatever going places that they shouldn’t be going. Even if the vehicle and driver are capable of it – they do damage.
…they always have to be on the edge of a fucking cliff.
Anyway…
I got lost and ended up on a trail just like that in Colorado, about 25 miles west, with the exception that it actually was wide enough for a truck. I didn’t feel comfortable at all on that kind of loose rock, so we turned around and found out where we were supposed to be.
And that is how I didn’t end up a national laughing stock.
Was it Black Bear Road? (song by C.W. McCall of “Convoy” fame)
But by that rationale, we’d have to ban alcohol again.
Been there done that. Not sure if it was that exact trail though. But it’s real close to my house. You can drive to the top of Mt Bross which is a fourteener just on the other side of the valley from my house. I see it from my deck. There is only about a month of the year that it’s free enough of snow to do it.
I don’t do that stuff anymore though. Its really scary. If you rolled, you may roll hundreds of feet.
Man I wish I’d clicked on that link earlier. That photo tells a thousand words.
And none of them are “good idea.”
I hate when they show them drifting around turns. I don’t want my car to skid. Ever.
Haven’t you noticed? The pinnacle of great driving is not to get someplace quickly, but to turn rubber into smoke.
I’m not sure exactly when that happened. Nobody asked my opinion; I must have been out.
The first two of which - as the article notes - are “Florida Man”.
I have to say, though, that contraption is whole lot better put together than I envisioned when I heard this story on the radio. I could see it being okay for a lake or a pool.
