Ashley King went to a bar on a Bali vacation in 2011, and woke up blind just a few days later
— a result of drinks spiked with methanol.
"I woke up in my hostel and I wasn't able to breathe. And shortly after I wasn't able to see,"
said King, a 32-year-old Calgary woman who is sharing her story in a new podcast called Static: A Party Girl's Memoir.

I’ve been doing an unholy amount of weeding recently and keep seeing these little spiders fleeing my progress. Many are carrying a tiny white ball and so I looked them up out of curiosity.
Apparently they are “Rabid Wolf Spiders”, which sounds like they themselves got to pick it out and sought something impressively terrifying so that humans would leave them alone. It’s certainly a misnomer since spiders cannot be rabid.

Thousands of programs were written to run under it, and a million or more peo…
