  • "I really appreciate you getting homework and chores done so early. Your mom is going to love it when she gets back. I know being cooped up inside on such a nice day has been driving you crazy, it's been getting to me too. Grab your glove, let's blow off some steam at the ball field!"

  • (camera focuses on the news playing on a TV in a home in the countryside, slowly pulling back away from the monitor)

    "...thanks to their efforts, experts have now stated with certainty that this threat has been eradicated..."

    (the camera has pulled back enough that the screen is framed by an outside window with a tree trunk coming into frame from the right)

    "...and many communities in the northwest united states can breathe easier knowing that these dreaded hornets are no longer found on our shores. Reporting from Seattle..."

    (focus shifts to the tree bark. Buzzing is heard, getting louder and louder until a single murder hornet queen lands on the tree. Cut to black. Roll credits)

  • Depends on the school but yes it's ridiculous. For a while it seemed like everyone was encouraged to attend college but now it seems like trade schools are coming back in a big way. I think people realise they aren't going to get anything useful for the time and money they put in for the jobs they want

  • The first time I saw this was right after the Texas ice storm and power grid failure a few years ago. A lot of people were suddenly stuck in their now unheated homes trying to get by with what they had on hand. That's when people found out that containing most of the heat from a candle is better than nothing.

    Word spread because most people had time to kill and the stuff to try it. If you are careful about it you could warm cold hands or get a mild radiation effect if you're close to it.

    But yeah it's not going to heat a room to any comfortable level on it's own. And you probably don't need the $100+ ones they sell on Etsy.

  • I can't say I'm surprised it happened. I'm kinda surprised it didn't happen sooner considering some of the games companies can play and the emotions involved when trying to care for loved ones. The timing sucks because the kids who had nothing to do with the business won't have another Christmas without thinking of the time they had to bury their dad.

    I'm glad that of all the options the shooter chose to be about as surgical as they could be. Better to target one heavily involved person than a mass shooting at a hospital, office etc where most people have nothing to do with big picture decision making.

    Now I'm concerned about copycats that won't be as considerate and kneejerk legal repercussions since I enjoy the 2nd amendment and use suppressors often. I think this is the first real crime I've heard of with a suppressor used. Nobody I know wants to see this be a regular thing but hopes this will be a wake up call higher ups need to change their practices.
