People who are found many days later have a source of water, enough to keep them alive, through something like rainfall.

In the Sampoong department store collapse in South Korea, the last surivor was rescued 17 days after the collapse with only a few scratches.

More details here.

My sister, the one more in West Roxbury, grew up in Florida. She went to college in Florida. Then she decided on Cornell, in upstate NY, for grad school.

We are doing it totally backwards. Silly school holidays!

I'd rather intense cold than a blizzard that grounds flights.

I have informed my sister that we are staying inside. No trips to the zoo or park!

The next time we meet will be this summer in Florida so it will be incredibly hot, so we'll get to share both temperature extremes together.

Yeah, it was actually in the upper 20s here yesterday morning when I was out hiking. I had on leggings and jeans, then a thin shirt and a thick sweater and a thick hoodie. That is what I plan to wear mostly. Plus, I am naturally insulated through a rigorous schedule of eating too much junk food so there's that too.

I have gloves and a scarf and my hoodie has a, well, a hood, but no boots. Alas.

I do not live in Boston. I live in the South, in Georgia. I don't even own a heavy jacket. But will be visiting my little sister in West Roxbury next weekend. Arriving Friday afternoon, leaving Sunday morning. I just have one thing to say:

What the fuck?

That was an awesome response, indeed!

Oh cool, that is interesting to know and solves a mystery! Thanks.

Ohmygod, you have to ask him why! Maybe he can solve this mystery.

I really need to know if this is a thing and if so what it means. Are the cows going to become sentient and take over?

Holy hell! Where was that? Why was that??? I have never seen such a thing before and I've lived in Georgia 25 years of my adult life!

I'm reading a book on Leavenworth Prison and its history. There was a corrections officer working there who was a huge guy (300 pounds) and verbally and at times physically aggressive with inmates. He was also allegedly physically violent with his wife, daughter, and sons. At least once the wife moved out because of this but ultimately returned.

Turns out he was killed via shotgun by one of his teenaged sons, though it seems both were involved. There was a bit of an investigation and it all got swept under the rug, and no one was charged in the killing.

Did they talk about troubled teen institutes that are overseas? I'm not sure if they still exist but for a while companies would move their places overseas, both for cheaper labor and for avoiding the (already too lax) US laws and regulations.

/r/troubledteens is actually a sub that is against those sorts of places.

Holy shit, someone needs to raise attention against those overly woke courses, stat!

So I just heard about the latest idiocy in Florida and thought to myself, well, maybe there's a legitimate reason why he might be opposed to this. Maybe there's a general ban on anything but world history for an AP class. Maybe there are valid reasons that others have also raised not to allow the course.

But nope. Just DeSantis pandering and being ignorant.

Who the hell is wealthy enough to waste an egg on a hoax? Those things are hella expensive!

A twenty dollar bill fell out of my pocket once. I was standing in a line and the person behind me noticed (I hadn't) and picked it up and gave it back to me.

I bet the companies that sell those devices that people convicted of DUIs have to use would be against this. Those companies charge an obscene monthly fee for the devices.
