this is more dangerous than stupid/funny: > play cricket using a steel rod as a bat > make a guy stand directly behind the rod for wicketkeeping > rod hits the guy's knee > flesh and bones exposed, guy gets hospitalized > few hours later, we start playing again > wicketkeeper in his wheelchair

continuation of previous post; yeah it's not over: > still using the same steel rod > rod slips from a guys hand > hits the wall, directly above my head > barely a few inches from permanently blinding me > we continue playing

another one: > plan [for five minutes] to travel 500kms to the west coast to see the beach > reach the beach > decide the first thing on the itinerary is to drive 100km back east to see some random waterfalls > spend an entire day of the [hastily] planned two-day beach trip in the mountains

> 10 hours before exams > gather at our friend's room > he has multiple backlogs > start playing in his room > guy scolds us asking us to let him study > starts playing after 5 mins of argument > goes directly to sleep after playing > takes the test next morning > results come, another backlog

1/2 okay another one i just remembered, went out with the boys at night and knew we would be late and didn't want to get fined (there's a fine for late entry, don't ask why), so one of us calls the dorm warden and asked "We're coming late, is that fine?" and the warden goes, "Yes, there is a fine."

2/2 our boy casually yells "Guys, it's fine" and we trust him; not one of us bothered to question why the rules didn't apply to us all of us got levied fines when we came back late dw we beat him up later

> me and friend rents scooter with questionable brakes and no headlights > does 80 on a one-lane highway with no dividers, no lights, no cell reception if that wasn't enough > wheels slip and tumble for 2 seconds > nearly fall with giant trucks behind us > both laugh for 20 mins how we didn't die

> next trip > rents questionable scooter again > wheels slip again but i fall this time > all four limbs covered in blood > all guys conclude scratches on scooter is the bigger issue

> me and the boys getting up at 05:00 and driving for 20 mins to the beach to see the sunrise > realizes we're on the west coast

"oh are you hosting it on vercel? no? aws then? no???" i think this is some equivalent of "we have aws at home"

fwiw, the pi is still going strong even after 10 years, and 100s of unexpected shutdowns :)

the pi might be reliable but the internet here is not, so uptime is still not 100%
