1) This is good information on how to address the situation of a senior falling. It’s important to know these things.

2) They could not let him fall because he may have rolled onto his back, and as we all know that is essentially a death sentence for turtles.

New from 404 Media: the end of Windows 10 support is an e-waste disaster in the making. 400 million computers that cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 set to be cut off from receiving free security updates. Set to affect as many as 42% of all Windows computers worldwide.

Railroad thieves are far too unimaginative these days. Each of those DOT tank cars easily has over $100k of intermediate process chemicals inside. Get up there with your jerrycan and siphon and quit being a little bitch about it.

grocery warehouses, regional amazon distributors, miscellaneous industrial space. probably a non-zero amount will get knocked down after 10-15 years vacant because they were too specialized for reuse.

Wonder if they'd be any good for like indoor hydroponics? Certainly enough water and power hookups

I Stole an F16
YouTube video by David Coffin I Stole an F16

If anyone has heard that "I stole an F-16" song that's been going around as a meme, but wants a version that's not a stuttering robot imitation of Stan Rogers, have I got the video for you
