Commercial fire sprinklers are set off by heat, it's a glass capsule with a liquid in it that expands and cracks the glass, allowing the valve to open. This probably has a similar design. And less consequences. A bunch of powder is a pain to clean up but thousands of gallons of filthy rusty water gushing out of the…

The intended purpose is probably small scale commercial and residential retrofits to commercial service. Replacing drywall is nothing compared to installing a fire sprinkler system. All depends on local requirements though. Also warehouses and other light industrial applications with limited occupancy where there may…

I wouldn’t be surprised. If they work as claimed these would be way cheaper than an actual suppression system.

It acts way more like a fire sprinkler or halon fire suppression system than it does a fire extinguisher. Just stand alone and one time use.

I would imagine the quote is from their hometown paper or broadcast station so the writer assumes the audience will recognize the school and understand that the couple are locals or year round residents if it’s a vacation area.

Given its intensely personal nature, any faults in The People’s Joker are nearly indistinguishable from its appeal.

There isn’t any connection because that whole phrase is marketing babble. This album wasn’t made by any influences from Western movies. Like all albums it was made for the artist’s overwhelming need for money and attention. Art isn’t complex, it's a cash grab. The complexity is a smoke screen for people like you.

Wouldn’t most of a “Diamond Dogs” movie just be the increasingly cyborged protagonists getting splattered by alien machinery? Kind of like a sci-fi “Saw”. Also did anyone ever find out what was in the damn building? I remember the main character ended up as a pet but maybe Reynolds mentioned it in something I haven’t…

Yes. When I recommend Banks to people who like science fiction I tell them that this author has good writing as well as good ideas. So many authors will have an interesting concept and then flesh it out with all the life and wit of an instruction manual.

The last thing a beloved toy company like Lego needs is for parents and kids to start associating its iconic Lego heads with crime or get the idea that committing a crime is fun because police used Lego heads in a photo.

I think in most jurisdictions ‘abuse of a corpse' covers it so we don't have to go over all the sickening things a person can do to a dead body.

Are you following me around, you Harry Potter level piece of fake Latin? I’m touched by your devotion. Like one of those chattering squirrels in the park, or maybe one of the old men that yell at them.

I was wondering if some highly motivated person would realize that Dobbs could easily be reversed by a different Court and that such a thing can be created at the cost of their own life/freedom. Everyone knows how you recall SCOTUS Justices. And why? The same reason only one dumbass insurrectionist died on January…

Before it hits the bridge you can see that the ship is on fire and it's listing in a way that looks like it's starting to sink.

I like how this guy seems to have a blank expression anytime I see him outside of a movie. That’s great, people want acting they can pay for it.

Hall of mirrors/Spidermen pointing at each other situation. When your job has been, for more than a decade now, amplifying whatever nonsense gets clicks on social media then every spat in an insular corner of the internet becomes some memorable occasion that ‘everyone’ knew about, participated in and remembers. It’s…

I think that a lot of the policing of language that is not generally accepted as slurs or bigotry derives from an idea that language informs a person’s opinions directly. Like the theory stated above, that a passive term puts blame on the individual to whom it’s applied.

The railroad companies should be doing more to stop this although it seems like putting their cops out at major jump on and off spots would be a better idea than having the employees on the train worry about it.

Also you’ll need a 3 phase power supply and what looks like a transformer box. Finishes that can withstand hydraulic fluid, which is often corrosive and will leak or spill eventually, are a good idea too.

Joaquin Phoenix (who, amazingly, does not have a band, even though he seems like exactly the kind of guy who would, right?)
