“...Should you ever find yourself in a vehicle beached on the tracks and you have enough time to get to safety, look for a blue sign containing an Emergency Notification System phone number affixed to one of the posts. Snap a picture of it if you can, as that number will connect you with a train dispatcher — then get…

Or maybe, like, don’t fly at all, because we’re still in a pandemic and infection numbers are worse now than they were LAST Thanksgiving. That’s a way to avoid it all.

The subtitles are SO key. The older I get, the more the music and sound fx in movies impairs my ability to understand dialogue. Or maybe they’re just getting louder and making me think it’s my ears, because I can certainly understand people talking in real life.

There a many landlords who are middle class, who have to pay mortgage and property tax and maintenance fees. Eviction bans, while perhaps the best course of action to prevent even higher rates of homelessness have…

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

“At that age [19], teenagers are mature enough to know what they’re being part of.”

Not sure about not picking up the feet, but the danger is this. In high voltage cases, 5000-10,000V, at some distance from the contact point the ground will be at, literally, ground potential (0V) In between that spot and the place where the wire is touching the voltage is dropping off.

Yeah I think the best thing would have been for her to slowly back the car up away from the live wires. And if that or staying in the car is not possible, there is a 3rd option shown in this video:
