explosion at L.A. Sheriff's facility. At least 3 cops dead
I wasn't clear - I'd assume 100 out of 100 times the item MUST be ruled inert before doing anything with it. Grenades? Why cut into it? That's a hold my beer moment out on the range. And if no go boom, wrap it in det cord, make it go boom

Surly kids who can't get into UT
Not exactly - it was probably something along the lines of defining moments, facing adversity, stuff like that. My pop's is an old English teacher. He's working on another book right now, and he always preached a great story trumps great writing 100% of the time. And great story need not be "great" in the conventional sense, but it needs to be compelling, memorable, and for students, unique. Stephen King made a fortune off this. His writing is meh, but his storytelling...he's masterful in bringing the reader in. Still undefeated.....;)

Surly kids who can't get into UT
Whatever your kids write about - please don't let it be generic. I used to show horses. Started with quarter horses at the ranch, moved to Arabians in the city. Did shows all over the state and SW. Specifically two Arabian stallions. God they were beautiful. So before the shows everyone lines up in the "shoot" before the gates open. More mares that most, as they can be a little more tractable. Enter the stallion. I was in my early teens. English saddle. Double reigns. Full riding tux. I liked to get to the gate early, so as more contestants joined, we're surrounded. He's been around mares at many shows, so one must have been in heat? I don't know, as he'd never done this before. Boxed in, on a stallion, surrounded by mares. Still undefeated....he freaks his shit. Rears up ala The Lone Ranger. English saddle - meaning there's no horn to grad hold of like a Western. Falling off is not a great option in a narrow corral filled with agitated horses. Gate workers start yelling, gate flies open, this horny turd bolts into the arena, and pull the reigns to one side, jerk his head and get him going in a small circle. I caught up with one of the admission counselors years later, and he still remembered the essay. Wasn't the best writer, but it was a hell of a memorable story. Focus in the moment, make your world small, compartmentalize your actions, focus, and act. I sort of plagiarized an OODA loop before i knew what it really was. Better than Chief Brown Fingers, I guess......

Saw it today. Took my folks and the family. Both snarky teenagers really liked it as did the rest of us. Hoping future iterations are equally enjoyable

explosion at L.A. Sheriff's facility. At least 3 cops dead
It depends. If they "can" blow in place, they often will, but that's not a given. Especially if it's a part of an investigation. Components of the explosive, compounds, etc. Certain compounds are extremely hard to procure. Are the military-grade? Are certain types of explosives missing? Etc. In this case, it was powerful enough to kill three people. Was it an IED? If it was LEO training - they'd be using det cord and/or door breaching charges. And if this is the case, why was the plastique and the blasting caps in close proximity to each other???

We have no idea where it was originally located. Was it in someone's house? We still blowing in place? An urban area?

The "knees over toes" dude got me into pulling the sled back. Really helped my minor knee pain. And it sucks. Generally things that suck are worth doing in the gym. Like that MF'ing assault bike....

Wasn't/isn't she recently divorced? He's telling her the obvious: I feel the same way, I'm not happy either, etc and she can relate. Maybe it's true. Maybe he feels a connection and his marriage is in it's last stages. But fuck man, you are still a CEO, she is still a direct report, and you are STILL fucking married. Take care of your shit. Be a fucking man, be open and honest, tell your wife it's time to move on, and THEN maybe you can play the field once the paperwork is completed. You're a public figure. Nobody would give two shits if they put a Joe-blow on blast at a concert and over the years, we know that they have. Astronomer is seems isn't public, but one of their main backers, Bain Capital sure isn't too happy right now.
