Cute dogs are just astonishing ass magnets. My SO and I went to a beer store and were walking around separately looking at the shelves, I had the dog. A few minutes later she came around the corner to every single 18-40 year old girl in the store standing in a semi-circle around me. She just smirked and walked away. After we left, she informed me that if we ever broke up, she was taking the dog, because she couldn't trust me with such power.
In case you didn't see it, SpaceX released a compilation video of their failed rocket landings in celebration of their Falcon 9 success. It's quite entertaining.
From the LA Times: "On Wednesday, the city also announced it was banning a wide range of weapons, including bricks, Mace and dynamite in a square-mile area centered around UC Berkeley’s campus." Dynamite? This has been a problem? WTF?
Irma almost made it to Lake Michigan before it finally gave out today. Insane how long it lasted while over land.
As temperatures rise, I think they're just going to last longer and longer. For every 1°C increase in temp, it can absorb and hold 7% more water. Water == power and longevity for a hurricane.
How is a city going to ban....bricks? "THESE WALLS ARE MADE OF WEAPONS!!" And maybe this is an East Coast thing, but most girls I know have mace in their car or purse. Or did at one point?
Hired someone today who lost everything in Houston to Harvey. It's one thing to see it on the news but to hear it from someone who had to be rescued by boat and doesn't have any of her possessions anymore, is entirely different. Interesting though that the rumors of people trying to rob the rescue boats were apparently true. She summed it up great when she said "these rednecks coming down here with their trucks and fishing boats, you think they forgot their guns at home?" Texas for ya. Apparently there was some vigilante justice. And also cool stories like convenience store owners opening up their shops and handing out everything they had to everyone who needed it. Color me humbled.
