I've had this about three times in my life. The first time I thought I was having a stroke and went to bed, in the hopes it would go away. The next morning I was alright. The second time happened at work and a co-worker brought me to the hospital. Turned out I was having a migraine attack with aura. The third time happened at work again. I took an aspirin and took it easy for about an hour. My project manager asked m…

Man, that's terrible. What happens if this hits while you're driving?

i get something close to this before I get a migraine: https://images.app.goo.gl/XS938pFYT6a2Juuq7

starts as a small spot right in the "centre of vision". then it grows until I can't see anything at all.

Then vision comes back and is replaced by a headache so bad, even the tiniest movement hurts like a knife cut.

Then I sleep between 4 and 12 hours. The day after I'm something like hung over and the day after that it's like nothing happened.

Luckily, I don't get it often any more :-) But it's hard to explain to other people when it happens.

the good thing about the aura is I get a warning what's about to come, usually it means I can get home before it breaks out.

I can only remember once when the headache broke out before I got home and I started sobbing like a baby on the bus. An old lady worriedly asked me if I needed help and I don't really remember how I got home.

After a little therapy, it will sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLrnkK2YEcE

That song is brilliant. I think the video detracts a bit. I recommend just listening to it. My understanding is that it's entirely comprised of sampled clips. A triumph of sound engineering.

I mean, Coldcut, DJ Shadow and the like were making sample-fests in the early 90s. The word is, Shadow's sampler of choise MPC60 can hold only something like 12 or 16 samples at a time, so the magic was him making ‘Endtroducing’ out of that.

A while ago, I had a migraine with stroke-like symptoms in the other direction: I could form thoughts in my head, but could only get a garbled mess out of my mouth. As a knowledge worker whose most important asset is his brain, this was one of the most terrifying experiences in my life.

I've (probably) had a ministroke (TIA). What surprised me is that typing was affected in the same way for me. In my mind I made a coherent sentence with words, but when I read back what I wrote, I understood that it was a garbled mess. I tried again, failed, and became frustrated. The crazy part to me was that I realized something was wrong, but it never occurred to me to ask for help. I tried to stubbornly keep work…

You should really get that checked out if you haven’t already. A TIA can be a precursor to a full on stroke or otherwise have lasting consequences. An MRI can confirm all is good in your brain.

is this the same as me randomizing a sentence, such as "satboma.ereegeiafudsuuedlVoiieelelglaesldnu nuorascrluc eip ttelalf rpoima s smudb.loo .r.c ue eu. mtgde mmea i leno undcisuattlicuoM ete Dimr isaaci nriirslraeunbpo abf mavuoD elneaact psg eunn mrlA m taiinccltnd oisnnnniltnt" and then asking you to find the words?

I prefer the current way that content makes its way to the HN frontpage: instagram->4chan->crappy content aggregator->reddit->HN

I think you meant... crappy content aggregator -> crappy content aggregator -> crappy content aggregator -> crappy content aggregator -> acceptable content aggregator

With a front page that has daily "Omg facebook is sharing your data", "you'll never guess what uber did now", " S-1", "let's all play armchair detectives and speculate why the 737 crashed", "shitcoin is good/bad for ", etc posts, I wouldn't exactly put HN that much above crappy content aggregator..

Follow up tweet by same person: "Wow this blew up check out " Please don't support this type of virality and profiteering. It's disgusting.

hi, i'm melipone (OP). the cvspharmacy link was an obvious joke meant to parody people who plug links after something goes viral. i got it from my friend karl's page (@hammerfist3); it's in his bio, too. also, it's a dead link; how stupid are people lol.
