Crews recover bodies of 9 backcountry skiers killed in Lake Tahoe avalanche

Not that far from us.

Horrible story, and I wish they had not died, but there are certainly worse ways to go than while having fun with your friends.

The woman’s wife who got killed is an idiot. The woman who got killed was also an idiot.

I still don’t think it’s a justified shooting. But it’s also not prosecutable. The ICE agent was pretty clearly not in fear for his life, but when you do stupid, unpredictable and completely-avoidable shit around not-that-bright men with guns, very bad things tend to happen.

I don’t think Renee Good intended to run over that agent¹, but I don’t think she cared if she did or not. Bad decisions all around. And as with most things of this sort, no side will agree and nothing good will come of it.

1. And was in fact attempting to drive away.

One of those little fuckers bit me one time when I was messing about in the Santa Fe River. There was blood.

I’ve been punched, kicked, hit in the throat, held at gun point, caught up in a riot, and nearly choked to death.

I am not impressed by you. https://t.co/hwmeZRV7tG

Sounds like she had a life like mine. I’ve been punched (tons), kicked (tons), avoided two attempted stabbings because I am hella fast, been held at gunpoint twice, been shot at once, and been in a few hundred fights.

And other than a few of the fights, none of that happened in the army. What a life, my friends.

I’ve been driving on a highway where stuff like that was happening. Rural Montana. At night.

Do not recommend.

Jump Master Saves jumper #5 from decapitation.

Shit, that’s a great jumpmaster there.

Procedure is to make eye contact with the jumpmaster and hand off the static line firmly. That way you know the JM is ready for you and the line doesn’t get caught or tangled. That doof dropped it as he was walking.

What a screw-up.

That’s a C-141 in the vid. Jumped out of that plane many times; that was my life for five years.

There’s a surprising spike in the suicide rate during the “Morning in America” period. I don’t have an explanation for, or a story to tell, about that. I am eager entertain yours!

AIDS. It was AIDS. A lot of gay men offed themselves when they knew they had a death sentence already on their heads.

Video shows train derailing after crashing into tractor-trailer.

Well there goes a couple hundred thou and some jobs.

If I were a woman alone on the street, I can’t think of anything scarier than a buncha obviously-Islamic men approaching me.

Too bad they can’t carry big-ass guns in Europe. I used to be against concealed carry, largely. But a woman has no hope against that. She needs the boomstick and to lay down shots non-stop till they Quran-thumping asses drop.

Hong Kong firefighters searching through 2000 flats like these to look for survivors.

One of the many reasons I dislike living in apartments or condos is that if a fire starts, you’re fucked. You can’t get out. By the time you know about the blaze it’s often too late.

In a house, you can just break out a window and jump out. Even if you’re on the second story, you might fracture your ankle or something but you’ll live. Good luck jumping from the 23rd floor of a tower.

It’s odd to think that even the first Harry Potter book would now be too complex for the younger Gen Z folks and all of Gen Alpha. They don’t and cannot read and, basically, their brains are broken.

The future is not looking so bright. The only glow I see there is Putin nukin’.

Male students show more tolerance for political enemies than females show for their own allies.

As I’ve said many many times before, female intrasexual competition is fucking brutal.
