To all our friends over there, be cautious.  Don't file your taxes yet, IRS says amid confusion over state benefits |

I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to place my order. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I'd done because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed "Thank you.", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again, Don't blow your horn at old people, they have been around a long time. |

Definitely an educational moment for her. Sounds like something I would of done if in same situation... When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again, |

Why didn't they check the receipt? Starbucks charges couple over $4K for coffee, forcing them to cancel trip |

Does failure to understand handguns are made of metal get you a Darwin Award. Lawyer dies after his hidden gun goes off during MRI scan A lawyer was accidentally shot by his own gun after he failed to remove it before going into hospital MRI scanning room. |

Must have influenced the brass in the round chambered in the gun and ignited the primer charge.

Likely eddy current heating (just like a gigantic induction hob) and all the cartridges get hot... Was that one bullet bitten or a good chew of the full magazine? Very silly. Guns should not be needed... Stay safe? Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

... https://abcnews.go.com/US/college-wrestlers-ambushed-gruesome-grizzly-bear-attack-hunting/story?id=91662059 A lucky escape for those hunters becoming the hunted... Just as well the bear was not hungry or was otherwise in a good mood that day. Stay aware folks!

Woops. That's going to be costly. Snowy 2.0 tunnel boring machine grinds to halt and hole appears on surface. |

Woops. That's going to be costly. Having worked on the electronics and computer guidance systems for TBM's I got to know a few things about them. You avoid all area's of soft sandy geology at all times, they only go forwards and as it is stuck, there's not much chance of that. They also get more stuck if they are not moved, the ground above over time squeezes harder and harder. I suppose you could dig a tench and lift it out. But I would suggest the cheapest option is to write it off, plan a better route, if possible, and build a new machine. |

Europen friends look up. A small asteroid is about to impact Earth’s atmosphere tonight. It is about 1 meter in size and centered over France. The impact is expected in a few hours, at 2:59 UTC 2/13 I should make a very bright fireball. |

One of those events one would like to see if they had enough advance warning.
