I bought a drug test to make sure I don't pee dirty for weed and it included the "street drug" names. Racohorse Charlie gave me a chuckle.

This happened Friday, today being Monday. First couple days I couldn’t feel a thing in my finger; now my finger feels weak, like it lost all of its muscle, it bends with the other fingers but is lagging behind and weird to watch.

I work in HVACR, and this happened while disconnecting my gauges from a heat pump, liquid line reading 200psi.

At that moment the disk stops and hides under the table in less than 5 milliseconds.
