  1. Who wants to go on an Antarctica expedition with me? Volcano spewing $6000 worth of gold crystals per day. https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2024/04/25/Mount-Erebus-volcano-gold/3971714052176/ It sounds like a dream, but it's true in Antarctica, gold rains from the sky. Tucked in among the glaciers, fiery Mount Erebus is the southernmost active volcano on Earth, providing a bit of heat amid the frozen landscape. While volcanic bombs are exciting, it's the bursts of gas spraying tiny crystals of metallic gold that surprise scientists, who estimate the volcano spews around 80 grams of gold a day -- that's worth around $6,000.
  2. I'm a piece of shit and you trigger my POSness, so I'ma sue. Fuck this dude, and his lawyer. https://www.thepublica.com/teen-who-beat-teaching-aide-over-nintendo-switch-confiscation-sues-school-for-failing-to-meet-his-needs/ A violent autistic teen who was caught on camera brutally beating a teaching aide last year is seeking legal recourse against a Florida school district for “failing to meet his needs.” Brendan Depa was arrested for aggravated battery and is facing up to 30 years in prison for assaulting an employee at Matanzas High School. According to the Daily Mail, the 18-year-old teen, who is over 6 feet tall and weighs almost 270 pounds, is suing the Flagler County school district for “failing to meet his needs” after 59-year-old teaching aide Joan Naydich took away his Nintendo Switch. In response to Naydich’s threat, Depa reportedly spat on her and chased her as she fled the classroom to report the incident to school administrators. Disturbing surveillance footage shows the teen, who was 17 at the time, pushing the teaching aide “to the ground before kneeling and punching her in the head and back” over a dozen times. In the suit, Depa’s lawyers claim that Matanzas High School employees knew of his “disabilities, triggers, and problem behaviors,” along with his history of wrongdoings, including spitting, shoving an aide, intimidating school staff, and shouting at his teachers. It also highlights that because Depa is “a large black male student, he is subjected to misperceptions and racism.” The lawsuit noted that “the school and staff working with him and the district knew that the electronics, specifically the Nintendo and its use on a school campus, was a trigger for escalating behaviors,” reads the filing, which describes the teen as a “ticking time bomb whose needs, despite concerns and warnings, were completed disregarded by the district.” Continuing, Depa’s lawyers argued that the brutal attack on Naydich, who suffered from multiple broken ribs and a concussion, was due to the school district’s “failure to address his needs or have staff around him” with the proper training. “This incident started with a paraprofessional and the student exchanging words and the student being reprimanded in front of his peers. He was punished by being denied his electronic device, even though other students were allowed theirs. The paraprofessional and the teacher began discussing his ability to bring electronics to school, in front of him and in front of his classmates.” The suit also describes Depa’s behavior as a “self-defense” mechanism after hearing educators “talk about him in front of his other classmates.” His lawyers blame the entire incident on Naydich, arguing she should not have interacted with him in the manner she did. “The paraprofessional should not have interacted with the student in this manner. Her and the teacher’s actions caused a predictable outcome. The IEP and behavior set out the evidence [of] interventions that should be utilized when a student misbehaves. The paraprofessional did not follow the plan and did not utilize an evidence-based strategy, putting herself in a dangerous situation.” Despite Naydich expressing how the attack has negatively impacted her life, turning her into a “totally different person.” Depa’s lawyers are seeking “compensatory education and placement in a behavioral therapeutic school” at the school district’s expense as well as covering the cost of any “out-of-pocket costs including tutoring fees and mental health services.”
  3. In the video some dude says there are 5 of them. I can't imagine the suck and douche levels of 5 hacks playing a 5 some.
  4. All 30 prob got the shit from the same dealer. He almost lost 30 customers in one day.
  5. Most of you probably already know his channel but if you don't, you may want to invest some time on his videos. Beautiful hikes. His cinematography is second to none. He's not a Youtuber, he's an artist. I've never spent any time in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I've spent a good amount of time hiking the Rockies in Colorado and the Wasatch in Utah. I may need to focus attention to Northern CA. I've never done any thru hikes. His John Muir Trail video is absolutely stunning. I got all kinds of feels at the end of this movie. But his movies have a way of doing that.
  6. Hurry up, they are all about to be arrested. You can vulture, show empathy, bail one or two out, and maybe get laid. Go forth young man. We're rooting for you. And oh yea, post pictures!!!
  7. They mostly got the response they wanted. It'll be in the news which is what they want. That's all they care about. If/when DPS starts beating them, then they'll really get what they want. All I see in the video is a gaggle full of assholes. And with that I've given this bullshit too much attention. I'll resume to turning off or skipping any protest shit I see on media.
  8. Dude all the protesters are in the South lawn. No one here is going to be impressed and want to fuck you.
  9. You'll have to wait in line bc Hamm bought all of them.
  10. So that's where the Spazmatics were this weekend... Rory seems to be all in for the Ryder Cup. He changed his tone about LIV players and RC after Rahm defected. He may have taken this weekend as team practice for the RC. When the RC happens, I wouldn't doubt it if Lowry is his playing partner for most of it.
  11. Yes I know the irony that I care enough to post it but this meme is funny especially as it applies to LIV.
  12. so...assholes. Fuck them. I hope Abott and DPS unleash hell. And fuck them too.
  13. Fuck Abbott. Fuck DPS. Fuck these protesters. Fuck Israel. Fuck Hamas. Fuck everyone who's an asshole. So tired of everyone looking for reasons to be assholes. If these fucking protests even hint at shutting down graduation, I'm going dress up in DPS gear and beat some motherfuckers.
  14. How the fuck did we lose the BYU series? This team is frustrating as fuck.
  15. Old man is out of line but top chef slicer dude was wearing Birkenstocks playing golf. Nothings screams I suck at golf and am hitting everything on this course except fairways and greens than wearing sandals swinging a driver. I bet the hack and his buddies are playing from the tips, bro.
  16. I will say this. I've spent more time on Lake Travis and Town Lake than most on this board. I have never had a rash from either of those bodies of water. For Town Lake, just stay out of the weeded areas and you should be fine. BTW, there are leeches in the lake. All the more reasons not to get in the water in areas with thick vegetation.
  17. Thank you for putting this together. I'm interested in transfers. I wonder how many of these transfers transferred from a school where they were expected to start or transferred because they were forced out/told to find greener pastures. I guess what I'm getting at is how many of the transfers were considered "busts" by their previous school but found their form at their transfer school. There are a shitton of transfers every year. How many of those forced transfers make it to the NFL?
  18. We should place bets on if this thing burns to the ground sometime during Eeyore’s Birthday Party this Saturday. Exactly why I don't go there. Finding parking SUCKS.
  19. Multiple explosions. Did Pancho's finally kill Brisket, his toilet, and his house? https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/austin-explosions-fire-imperial-drive/269-061d423c-e1e8-49b4-863c-6cb1b943b470 AUSTIN, Texas — Fire crews and medics are on the scene of an incident involving "multiple explosions" at a home in southeast Austin. The Austin Fire Department (AFD) said just after 10 a.m. Friday that crews were responding to a structure fire in the 4600 block of Imperial Drive. AFD said it had received reports of a disturbance inside a home associated with "multiple explosions, fire, and smoke" inside the residence. edit: Meth lab?
