"Officer involved shooting" is the stupidest phrase, and I pray for its retirement from common use.

A police officer shot and killed a woman. Stop using passive voice. You can absolutely include the relevant information that the woman shot at police in the headline without making it seem as though the woman ran into the cop's bullet.

Definitely loud enough to cover long distances. The fact that it was multiple noises lessens the likelihood it's a transformer, since multiple don't usually blow at once. So I don't know.

I'm going to double down on transformers and assume it was just Autobots landing and planning their attack on earth.

Loud booms are usually blown transformers. Hopefully that's all this is.

Plus you can knit yourself a sweater from the pounds of shed fur!

Spend $50ish bucks to get weatherproofing for your windows (I just use the plastic that you tape up and shrink with a hair dryer) and doors. Feel around your electric outlets to see if a lot of cool air is coming in through them. Those can also be weatherproofed. You can also put towels or blankets at the base of your doors to help keep drafts out.

It's pretty easy to do, and while it's no substitute for quality windows or doors, it has significantly reduced my heating bills over the years.

It was the deadliest anti-semitic terrorist attack in American history. What about that isn't historical?

And that's to say nothing of the rise of neo-fascism and white nationalist radicalization that led up to it and now has mainstream support.

Some raw asparagus and salsa.
