Can confirm one of the best tools ever! Uses those green coleman cans. It’s a clean and righteous burn. Every professional homeowner should have one.

This seems like it’d make teaching impossible. Like how’s a teacher supposed to know this beforehand?
Further comments in that thread say that it’s probably $0.003/stream not cents - still peanuts but …
After getting an AncestryDNA kit for christmas (results: extremely white), I’ve been doing some geneology research on the site.
I was always afraid I’d find a bunch of slavers and confederates if I dug too deeply. So I’m happy to report that the first confirmed Civil War vet I found (my grandmother’s grandfather) fought with the 28th Iowa Volunteer Infantry. So far so good!

That story about the guy getting so stuck they had to leave him there to die of dehydration or whatever is so fucked up. That is an absolute nightmare.

The kids in a Thai cave is some of the coolest emergency/wilderness/undersea & hyperbaric medicine I’ve seen. They figured that the hole was too small for the kids to get themselves out, so they knocked them unconscious with ketamine (which leaves airway and breathing reflexes intact), put them in scuba gear and pulled them through. Absolutely brilliant and super brave idea.
This is tragic and all but… maybe don’t recreationally shove yourself into tiny holes in the ground?

A solar superstorm rocked Earth in 774-775 CE. Scientists uncovered this event in 2012 when analyzing a spike in carbon-14 found in tree rings.
The scientists said in the paper that a solar superflare, such as the ones they found in ancient history through tree rings, would be devastating to our modern world:
The impact of the newly discovered events would have been catastrophic for aircraft, satellites, modern telecommunication and computer systems, if they occurred today.
One of the most famous solar storms in recorded history is the Carrington Event of 1859. This event, which fried telegraph systems – the peak technology of the time – isn’t even detectable in the carbon-14 data in tree rings. So it would be but a whisper compared to the thundering onslaught of a solar superflare. One of the most recent solar events in history is the March 1989 solar storm. With only a minuscule amount of energy that a super solarflare would produce, it nonetheless caused an hours-long blackout in Quebec. A solar superflare striking Earth could take the “worldwide” out of the worldwide web, knocking out undersea cables, and possibly destroying electronic data including banking and health information.
But before you worry too much about a coming technological dark age, take comfort in a fact noted in the paper:
Statistics of sun-like stars suggest that superflares are extremely rare.
While the sun has perhaps undergone more superflares than we once expected, they still seem to be an infrequent event, fortunately.
Don’t worry. I mean it happened 3 times in the last 9,000 years at least. But super rare!
