Two groups in Europe seem to be vocally upset Ukraine is winning and Russia is losing.
The far left and the Nazis.

Kinda odd when you think about it.

To their credit, a few of my middle school bullies apologized to me later in high school. I wouldn’t say it was all that meaningful but it was appreciated.
I think the most meaningful experience of high school when I realized I’d left the worst of my past behind me already to some extent was after the academic team I was on won some big tournament. The next day, the school read our names out during the morning announcement. People started clapping in my first class and I didn’t think much of it. Then I realized they were clapping for me.
To understand how large a change this was, consider that in middle school and early high school my own family members wouldn’t even acknowledge me in school and I was beat up daily. For a long while, I was literally the most hated kid in the entire school. No exaggeration.
Glass Gun
Would it be possible to make a gun rifle and breach out of high-strength glass, like maybe an inch thick? The slow motion footage from something like that would be sick I think.

Nope, that would not work. Thickness of glass wouldn’t matter here. It’s the fracture toughness and crack propagation that matter. 200-grade steel has a fracture toughness index of 175, while glass has a fracture toughness index of only around 1. Huge difference. You just can’t make a standard gun out of glass.
