Ha I thought for a second your age was in the 90's, but then I considered it more likely that you were born in the 1990's, right?

The lead engineer at a site I work on from time to time is on a 3 on 3 off rotation (weeks) on an offshore oil rig.
It turns out he was having to miss some of his trips because he had to 'look after his ailing father'.
It turns out he was spending this time working another lead engineer job, for the same oil company but in a different country.
He got away with it for months until some issue came up and he had to call into the office and they noticed his number was from another country, Saudi Arabia.
Haven't been back to that site in a while so I don't know what happened to him but he's certainly not working there any more.

I started balding in my late teens. Shaved my head for the first time at 20. Never looked back. Wished I'd done it sooner.
Still remember an offhand comment from a girl who said I have a nice shaped head.
A quick once over with the clippers once a week and you're good.
Whatever you decided to do don't stress about it! I'm sure that will only make it worse.
Bonus: the freshly shaved head acts as velcro to keep your hat on during windy days!

I bought a sauna. Second hand from a guy who had it in his third floor attic 50 miles away. Had to dismantle it get it in the van than rebuild it on my lean to.
I then got myself a big old whiskey barrel for a cold plunge pool.
No regrets, a sauna straight after coming off the hill in wet weather is the best.

So the 1950's lass is wearing high heels. Without them she's probably a similar height to the first lass.

Steel toe capped crocks

I travel a lot for work with a not very big weight allowance so it has replaced my laptop as my daily machine.
I game on it, use it for discord and dndbeyond to play dnd at work, have jellyfin on it to stream media to my phone+ar glasses, and use it to access my home server to deal with downloads and my main jellyfin server.
It's an awesome tool.

Try a tab of lsd and go for a nice walk in the woods

It just changes the direction of the cable so instead of sticking straight up the cable gets redirected and now is nearly behind the deck and flowing down.

I'm a rope access industrial radiographer.

Been in several car accidents. Rolled a car down a hill. Was hit by a car and went over the bonnet, roof and landed on my feet behind the car bruised but OK.
Got run over by another car dislocated my knee and my heel burst open, the lady in the car gave me about 20 chocolate penguin biscuits for the shock, then I got on a bus and went to my mates house for a joint.
Done illigal bridge swings off of railway bridges and damns and abseiled away from the cops.
Climbed onto the roof of a moving steam train dressed as Indiana Jones walked along the carridge then climbed back in through a window, scaring the crap out of the people in there.
Then met the girl of my dreams, had kids settled down (a little) and lived happily ever after.

I'm on an oil rig in the north sea and last time this happened I was stuck out here for an extra week. I'm due home on Friday. Really really hoping this time isn't at bad.

I don't see the problem. Loads of people have skulls of other animals on display. Why should a human be treated any different.

Is that Noel Fielding?

So, they are both smaller and there's a giant leap up to amazonian.

"hmm, I should try LSD."

Not the first time I saw snow as I grew up on the Scottish Highlands and have had it since a baby, but I do remember someone else's. My parents had a guest house and I remember one Christmas eve day around the living room with my family on Christmas Eve when it starts dumping snow, "nice, it'll be a white Christmas" we all thought.
Then we heard a bunch of noise coming from the front car park, we peak out the curtains to see a family staying with us from somewhere is Africa, I can't recall where but it was obviously their first time seeing snow, they were so excited, running outside on their pyjamas at 2300.
They were making snowballs, rolling around in the snow trying to make snow angels and on their hands and knees making snowmen.
My family just watched and chuckled as those outside slowly realised how cold and wet snow is. Within minutes the whole family was drenched and shivering and running back inside.
But for them it was a magical moment, makes me smile thinking back to it.

It's a throw up between dislocating my arm while kiting and wearing both wrist straps for the brake lines. So my arm dislocated in mid air, fell to the ground, kite inflates but doesn't take off and dragged me along the ground by my dislocated shoulder until I hit a rock.
Falling while climbing solo breaking my ankle and having to crawl out to find help.
And finally crashing while skiing and landing my hip on a rock, the ski patrol didn't know if I had a spinal injury and couldn't give me painkillers to get me off the hill, so they took me down a slushy bumpy spring slope on a sledge. Turns out I'd just fractured my hip so after the xray my friends dad the doctor got me loaded up with painkillers to make up for it.
Edit: that's just some of the worst I can think of, I am very grateful that the human mind cannot remember pain.

I think it's in one of the sequals to John dies at the end, with the spiders where this happens after he takes the sauce and stops time. The grass doesn't bend under his feet so it's like running on blades and then he gets shot. Nope, just turns out he ran into a butterfly. Even when he gets to where he's going he's powerless to change anything s everything is frozen.

Absolutly love this game, great replayability.

I have just discovered Card quest which is taking up a lot of my spare time at the moment.

Here here! I also am not a big fan of chocolate, but dark chocolate, with chilli! Ooh la la.

Bad motherfucker by biting elbows.
Oh wait they did, it's Hardcore Henry

Something like this

I pronounce it sawna. But I prefer when it's pronounced sowna. I just think I I'm not nordic enough to pull it off without sounding like a twat.

Saw these guys at Pol'and'Rock (Woodstock) this year. They have quickly become my listen to at work band. Funky stuff.

Easy rider

I think he's in every dj cumberbund song.

Not quite. We climb / rappel structures, mostly oil rigs. And use a gamma radiation source to check for weld defects.
We're known as bombers because the source container, a techops sentinel 880 or a SCAR projector look a lot like bombs and we blast radiation all over the place causing issues to the nucleonic sensors so over the place.

Reminds me of the writing of David wrong / Jason pargin who wrote the John dies at the ends series of books.

The real dangers of drugs!

Yep, that's close enough. Although we mostly use a gamma radiation source as x-rays are electronically generated, we aren't near a plug and the equipment is often cumbersome.
There are portable x-ray generators that run off a 20v dewalt battery. But their effective penetrative power means it's only viable for very thin walled pipes.
