Stumbling through a Backlog, part 2

I can only imagine the conversations this house would bring. Imagine one moment your guests are enjoying the view from the second floor deck when suddenly, a metal sheet cuts off their vision. That's not even the strongest parts, big black slabs of rock block off windows and the bridge to the connected pool even draws up, almost like a medival castle. Although supposedly to keep out "zombies, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses," the real question is whether your friends are to be counted alongside those groups. After all, wouldn't it be comforting when you're feeling tethered by your phone and computer, to just close it all off with a big chunk of granite? Unfortunately, your friends are probably smarter than zombies, and they'll probably find a way in, electronically or otherwise...

Oh Socrates, you old gadfly you. Even though he annoyed the leaders of Athens so much they forced him to commit suicide by drinking hemlock, he still manages to question us today. This article does a pretty good job of showing how this old crack is still relevant. From reminding us to be happy to warn against materialism, his messages such as they were are even more necessary in an age of rampant greed. Hold up, happiness above materials, civil disobedience, Socrates was part of the 99%!

Just when you thought doctors, those guys who spend thousands of dollars on extra schooling to keep us all healthy, actually got smarter from it, something like this comes along. Although some of the mistakes, such as "Discharge status: Alive but without permission" make sense once you've thought about it, some are just straight up mysteries. For example, how does someone leave their white blood cells in a different hospital? I guess it goes to show that no matter how much learning you do, you're only human.
