Jamal SenjayaFind a phrase from this visual Rebus. I think this time, my rebus is not too easy.

@Deus .... Are you Okay?
 
Oh. Take care and get well soon @Deusovi
IV's are bad. Hope to see you soon. Take rest.
 
Sid
@Tech I agree with that from personal experience. They are real bad. Almost make you feel helpless.
 
Yeah. . It gets worse if you have thinner veins
 
7:54 AM
I'm fine! I appreciate the concern though
 
What happened?
 
Really bad abdominal virus/bacteria of some sort
 
...ow.
 
(responses may be slow -- bad wifi + use of only one hand)
 
Get better soon/רפואה שלמה
 
Sid
7:59 AM
Yes, no problem. Just don't strain yourself too much. Did the doctor say only abdominal bacteria/virus?
 
So far that's what they think, but not 100% positive
 
Sid
I just asked because the last time I got a really bad abdominal pain, I landed up in the Operation theatre. I hope it's not that bad.

Whoa. Best wishes your way for wisdom to your doctors to get things diagnosed and treated quickly (and correctly!), and to you for a speedy full recovery. Hospitals are no fun, and that goes double for IVs - sooner they let you go home, the sooner you can get some actual sleep and recuperate properly. Take care (of yourself) Deus, we'll be here when you're better :)

Let's spare a thought for GentlePurpleRain too. With Emrakul going and Deusovi busy fighting microbes, the moderatorial load must be pretty much all on GPR. Be nice, everyone!

Ditto to all of the above! (and GaMen)

Does capital letter in Gamen signify our time?

Q: How would you decode this?

MrMcaustin1I was given a paragraph of 1's and 0's and I originally thought it was binary but it is not divisible by 8 or 4. As well I was presented with the title of "and Beyond". Here is the paragraph; 11011 1010 1 11000 100001 1111 1011 10111 10111 1011 10001 10000 100001 11011 1 10111 100001 110 1...

Q: Poem riddle, What am I?

CR241I am the end of life but also the start of earth. I wait in the middle of the ocean but not there in the bank. I stay very close to the beginning of the death. I am able to enter in the heaven but also there in the midst of the hell. What Am I?

Q: Are you able to find me in second(s)?

AlexFound somewhere in Peru, I am well behaved and follow the queue. Flipped from the left to right, In a name to the children's like. Switch places with you and me, A comfort place becomes a wild beast. How many times have I shown my face? All you need is a little trace! What am...

 
@Deusovi glad you're back, but take it easy for a while
 
Thanks - that's what I'm trying to do
(...I say, as I attempt to take three final exams in two days)
 
ow. Good luck with that. Can your university do anything to make that less wretched?
 
Probably, but the classes for those exams aren't too difficult, and I just want to get them over with
 
In my final year at university I had a nasty postviral thing that left me constantly knackered for most of my last term. Our exams were two lengthy and tough papers on each of two successive days. They let me take them one a day over four days instead (and kept me isolated from other students for obvious reasons).
 
9:58 PM
it's a fairly common practice in my university to let students take papers in different days
but I assume not many universities run on trust
 
here it varies between professors

Q: The Bad, Ugly Toyota

quackyquacky2169There was a Toyota parked in a carpark in Sydney. That Toyota had a bike in the trunk. What is the name of the person inside?

 
11:02 PM
Dammit @Deusovi. Look after yourself, and good luck with those exams!
After those two days are over, do you get to take some time off and give yourself some TLC?
Also, anyone care to share thoughts on this?
I'm tempted to close this as a duplicate of this older riddle based on the same idea and with the same answer. — rand al'thor 3 mins ago
I'd rather not dupehammer it unilaterally without hearing what others think.
@JoeBeastlyGerbil thanks Joe! — Daedric Jan 26 '16 at 7:48
I guess @BeastlyGerbil had a name change at some point ... ;-)
(also, Beastly, let me know if you want me to delete that)
 
I thought you should only dupehammer if the questions are (near) exact duplicates
and given that explaining the lines in one riddle does not directly explain the lines in the other riddle, I would say they aren't
but I guess you know 10 times as much about general policy than I do
 
see, I knew you would know a relevant discussion on the topic
in my defense, this was posted during my Puzzling hiatus
if that is the general consensus, then I change my position to in favor of the dupe
(by the way, I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but Rand is scaringly good at convincing people.)
 
11:24 PM
@ffao I learnt a LOT about being persuasive on meta after I became a mod :-)
