I recently got a letter in the mail from a company offering to help me collect my unclaimed funds. They kindly told me what state it was in and the company reporting it, which was plenty of information for me to go to the state comptroller's web site and find it for myself. It took me less than 10 minutes to collect $5k that seems to have somehow come from stock options that I never exercised and assumed they disappeared after the company got acquired.

The people offering to help me collect it are still sending me letters and text messages, long after the check has cleared my account.

Based solely on my own experience, it’s statistically likely that there actually is a furry in the room with you right now.

All chaps are assless.

One of the few posts in this community that actually fits (according to my own head canon).

Bravo!

More like au-dessus chef!

Foobar2000 is pretty minimalist and, by default, monochromatic. I don't have access to any e-ink android devices, but I think it should work pretty well on them.

I think you misheard me. I said Plutatoes.

Yeah, you won't remember anything from the time it kicks in to the time it wears off, give or take a couple of minutes.

The first time I went in for a surgery, my memory ends shortly after they pushed the first drug into my IV but my mom was there and she said we talked for another 15 minutes before they took me to the OR. I remember none of it but she says I was completely lucid as far as she could tell.

What we have here is a terminology problem.

When you experience anything it immediately forms a short term memory. To retain it for more than a brief period that short term memory has to be converted or moved to long term memory. These anaesthia drugs interfere with the process that moves short to long term memory.

Nope, I definitely mean long term. That's the whole point... you don't remember what happens for a little while, and it's definitely on purpose. They also give you a soporific (makes you unconscious) and a paralytic (so you don't move voluntarily or otherwise).

Even worse, there have been people who woke up during surgery but the paralytics were still working just fine, so they were awake, aware, and fully experiencing the pain of surgery but couldn't move or tell anyone.
