And that was only 18 words. What a pain in the ass writing that book must have been.

It's a way of showing off. Your ability to plot thoughts sans common symbols shows vigorous brainy utility.

I have no say in the matter, but yes, AH is asshole. And becoming a not-asshole is the pitch-drop experiment compared to the Thanos snap of becoming an asshole.

Reply to comment by Goalie_deacon in TIL in 1980, An aspiring actor Paul David Siederman, won the Nathan's Famous July 4th hot dog eating championship. He later became the well-known porn actor Jerry Butler and was married to TV actress Lisa Loring, who played Wednesday in the 60's series "The Addams Family" by ourmanflint1
And some would even say, quite spooky.

Reply to comment by mickdeb in TIL On land, when you are in an emergency situation, your survival instinct is usually to stay on your feet so you’re prepared to maneuver out of the danger. When you’re in the water in an emergency, that same instinctive reaction can lead to one of the most deadly accidents: foot entrapment. by Rhacoon
Foot entrapment is one of my greatest fear whilst fisting

According to the video of the press conference posted elsewhere, there was a stab wound to the neck on the daughter. However, as the mother said 'I killed my daughter', it's not looking... great for her. It's likely murder.

Still no updates for further details. I remain withholding judgment.
Edit: Almost certainly murder. Investigation will continue to rule out any alternatives.

We know nearly nothing, withhold judgment until even the barest of details come out. Possibly accidental, possibly homicide, we don't collectively know yet.
Edit: saw the Twitter update. Sounds like murder. Investigation ongoing.
