Many stars shine. Some explode. And, in very rare cases, a star can HALF-explode.
The nebula Pa 30 is the result of a half-exploded star. Its zombie corpse keeps energizing it, creating a firework shape that closely resembles a high-altitude nuclear explosion (right). 🧪🔭

I agree entirely with this. Working at our Community Centre opened my eyes. Just because people are poor or in need doesn't mean they are bad. In fact, most of them are better people than the ridiculously highly paid lawyers I used to work with.
"I think everyone should help out at a soup kitchen, or a place of refuge, at least once in their lifetime. Such an experience would open their eyes, as the people who come to such places are a mixture of our societies."

A Glasgow soup kitchen
Those who visit a Glasgow soup kitchen have much to teach us about being a caring society – it’s a place where humanity shines through

Surely it’d make more sense to have ‘Don’t Drive While High/Drunk’, or even ‘Don’t Drive High/Drunk’.
