"Shooter!! We've only got 24 cars on the scene, BACKUP BACKUP!!"
"It's on a school campus! Lock down all the schools across the county!"
Of course, they don't even check those buildings before declaring the lockdown over, let along clear them room by room. Is all that really needed? #ATLshooter

This looks very much like what I was thinking of! It must have been the 2011 Japan event that I saw it last. I think this one has been projected in 3D and zoomed from my recollection. Thanks!

Good morning, happy Juneteenth, let’s start by checking out Space Boy’s latest static fire test (not a launch). Have a lovely rest of your day!

![Panorama of a street, crowded mainly on the far side but still a lot of people on the road. Signs are all original and hand-made and say things like “I teach future doctors, artists and dreamers - not ILLEGALS” and “Elect a rapist—expect to get [screwed]”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p23ut7uhjcfz4k7wf3inh5it/bafkreib4yx6s2zjm7uomnst7rwxhv2wa32fihn3s7zwxtmu4iueo3jipie@jpeg)

As high as 8,000’! Some newer ones with the extra Pilabury Crescent Rolls energy go down to 6,000’. A barometer/altimeter app will tell you.

Cool, let’s refer to our chart describing the biology of sex. The British courts are saying now, to keep things simple, you can ignore the easiest part of the chart: the self-identified gender info box in the top middle.

Darn; until today, I thought the "Woke Mind Virus" was a phantasm in the imagination of a fervid, obsessively online incel, but I am forced to concede it may exist

Buying eyeglasses for the first time. Trying to wrap my head around this sizing system, many "WTH?"'s/min. If a pair fits, the arms aren't over–extended, right? So why is (54*2 + 20)mm not the distance between the hinges? Finding OTC reading glasses that merely _fit_ at CVS was painful!

Lol… that’s right, true believers, now is your chance to correct your insufficiently long Tesla positions! Forget that it has a P/E ratio still over 100, and Hyundai, who even own Boston Dynamics, are at about 10. It can’t possibly be a long–term correction, snap it up!

You do the math on this pharmacy EOB. Pretty sure it's a generic and that "average retail price" is 100% BS

I’ve heard some charities can have a high expense ratio, but this is ridiculous
![Section of a year–end donation–eliciting letter. Leading up to the highlighted section, it reads:
“Will you please continue supporting hungry children and families by making a special gift to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund today?
Your gift of $200 becomes $400… $300 becomes $600… and if you can give $400, it becomes [BEGIN HIGHLIGHT]$800, ensuring one less child will go to sleep hungry tonight. [END HIGHLIGHT]

This AI summary is about where I stand, and I don’t think it’s super controversial. The truth is somewhere between this and “there is no statistically significant correlation at all”. And definitely “other (unpredictable) variables play a larger role”
