  1.  @deborahwhit118  I think they either had locked doors or the murderer(s) had a specific beef with the four that were killed. Although, I suppose something may have interrupted the killer before getting to those last rooms. Most likely, they simply kept their doors locked.

  2. Also, bear in mind that the weight limit is 200#, I doubt very much that the people witnessing her being weighed were under the impression that she was a healthy weight. I'm currently 205#, but I'm also a rather large man with broad shoulders. When I was her age, I weighed roughly 80#. She literally weighs more than double when I did and closing in on triple.

  3.  @NamesZKP  A good example of good advice in pop culture. Nada Surf did a pretty good job of explaining how to break up with people. Kindly, firmly and clearly, anything else is just asking for trouble and if you aren't clear about it, then you can't really blame somebody for not getting the hint right away.

  4. Also, keep in mind that a 13-year-old that's probably 400% overweight or more, is not exactly a secret to those witnessing the weighing. They all knew that she's morbidly obese, having a specific number probably didn't shade their opinion of her weight.

  5. Precisely. I think it's amazing that he thinks that before she stepped on the scale that the people there thought she was a reasonable weight. She weighs roughly 2.5x when I weighed at that age. This isn't a case where she's a bit overweight and being shamed, this is where she weighs more than double what she should and being told no to avoid potentially suffering significant injuries or death.

  6. Yes, or convert it to a pickup only location. But, yeah, nobody is going to go through with an escort for every item they want, it's a ridiculous waste of time.

  7. Because there's a bunch of cowards out there that won't accept reasonable firearm restriction and regulation.

  8.  @warmateo6261  The point is that you avoid the shooter if possible, deny them access to where you're hiding, but if you can't do either of those things, the next thing is fighting with everything that you have available. But, clearly, that's an absolute last option after everything else has been used.

  9.  @william3100  Umm, what? If you've got a wheel that's designed to do things like go over curbs, it's going to be put on a wheel chair, that's one of the more obvious uses for it.

  10.  @anon_rah01  You think that cashier that could have been injured was a legitimate target? Or the shopper standing right next to that guy that was shopping? War is extremely messy, but one of the expectations is that there will be at least some consideration made to avoiding unnecessarily harming civilians and other noncombatants. Something that Israeli regularly ignores while trying to claim the high ground of not being terrorists.

  11.  @Unknown-rb3ip  Just not the people who actually make the decisions about what to ship to Israel and who to prosecute by the ICJ.

  12.  @Austin.Kilgore  IKR, a harness with a couple carabiner would pretty much completely eliminate that particular risk, it would just make the whole climb take a lot longer. I'm not sure that going that route is really worth it, but that would eliminate the risk.

  13. I weigh 205#, but I'm also a rather large man. When I was that age, I weighed roughly 84#, perhaps this embarrasment will lead to some awareness of just how obese she is. I personally would not want to be allowed on a ride if I wasn't within the engineers' intended specifications. What does he want, for her to be seriously injured?

  14. At that point, this is more or less the old style where customers tell you what they want and you get it for them and ring them up.

  15.  @dawncollier742  I'm sort of surprised that they don't just close the store to shoppers and just only do pickup orders at that point. Because if anybody does come in to buy something you've got to have an employee there for each and every item they want anyways.

  16. What gets me is that I was working in a grocery store in a department next to the door and I would see people stealing large amounts of beer every day. I called security on them one day and was informed that that's not what security is there for. We finally had security that would confront shoplifters, but that's not what they were there for. I kind of wonder how the store still had a liquor license as just letting people come in and load up on a half dozen 24 packs of beer can't possibly be permissible.

  17. That's sort of the point, you could have dangerous stairs in your own home. You need a proper railing and ideally one that's strong enough to catch yourself with if you start to slip. The treads need to be clear and provide enough texture to prevent slips, each step should be of a uniform height and depth, and ideally, they should be wide enough for whatever you're planning to bring up or down the stairs.

  18.  @pengos1639  I think that it made a bit of sense as it can be a challenge to find people with stairs willing to let you film a short segment in their houses, especially if they aren't 100% confident in their stairs and don't have the money to fix them right away.

  19. This will make it so that pushing them on good surfaces is as annoying as pushing them over obstacles and pushing them over obstacles just about as annoying as before. There's a reason why this isn't already on the market.

  20. To be fair, he's probably an expert on more than just safe staircases, he's probably more of a safety expert on architectural matters.

  22.  @madokachan  You must be new here. Most of the time these sorts of things seem to be used to make things worse if there's a buck in it for that.

  23. The main issue is that they don't appear to have a way of shifting the seat forward and backward. If they could do that, it would make it a lot safer to traverse stairs. As long as the seat is shifted slightly toward the upper stair, you won't fall down the stairs, the worst case would be sliding down the stairs.

  24.  @lightworker4512  Worker's Comp covers work-related injuries, don't assume that you'll be covered just because you're at work if you were explicitly told not to do something. But, if you were told to do something, you'd likely be covered.

  25. If this shipment was bought by Hezbollah and kept internally, probably not many, but if it was bought by them and distributed in some fashion, it could be a lot. It all depends where the pagers wound up.

  26.  @weltschmerzistofthaufig2440  There's been decades of work on changing the environment and at this point, it's mostly a matter of waiting for the buildings to be rebuilt. The number of places where you can't go is shrinking every year.

  27. For every item? It's one thing if it's just a couple items, but if it's every single item, that takes a long time. I used to work pickup for a grocery store and a matter of a few seconds per items adds up quickly. And this would be on the order of a minute or two per item on the rosy side of the estimation.

  28. I'm not sure I'd personally care to be so enthusiastic about a country committing a war crime, but that's just me. You do you.

  29. Not really, at most this solves the problem of going over curbs, which really should be a less and less common issue as more places require curb cuts wherever there's a crosswalk. New buildings generally require that there be allowances made to permit people in mobility scooters and wheelchairs to gain access to the building. And as other folks have pointed out, it's going to require a lot more battery power to operate something with this.

  30. TBH, I think they'd probably be better off replacing the wheel with tank treads. And just have the ability to reconfigure the shape between a round wheel and tank treads. It's probably possible to build a tire that could handle both positions. Although you'd need to add suspension elsewhere as that likely would be a very rough ride.

  31.  @dustin8420  In that case, the size of the quarry and lack of things like flotation rings and shepherds hooks was probably the final straw. A swimming pool is likely to be small enough that you can reach the hook out without endangering yourself, even if they do go under.

  32.  @SonnyUploads  It's completely relevant. If she'd died in her sleep while backpacking, I could totally see "she died doing what she loved" as being an accurate statement. But she slid literal hundreds of feet to her doom, not something for which that whole saying about dying doing what you love is intended to refer to.

  33.  @jadzia1071  Or more likely a cat issue. Cats can become self-sufficient rather quickly as they haven't actually evolved since they were completely independent. It's certainly possible that there were missed opportunities, but it's likely that nobody knew he was missing and it was just when he got too close to somebody whose job it is to care about that that the chip was checked.

  34.  @GhastlyCretin  I think that's the most reasonable explanation. Often times these sorts of housing units will have separate locks on the rooms of the residents so they don't have to worry about the various people that come and go while they're away.

  35.  @tomy4453  Yep, it's the quickly bit that can be an issue. Cold shock response can be a very, very big deal. I had issues with that when I was younger, fortunately, I was close enough to shore that I was able to just stand up, but it would have been iffy if I had been that far out.

  36.  @neutronenstern.  If you can swim 100m, you probably could swim across that distance, the issue is if you get stuck in a sudden cold spot where you stop breathing or get caught in a weird current. I've personally swam an entire mile in one go and I'm not sure that I would risk swimming in a quarry. At least not without really knowing what I was getting into and even then, I'd probably stick to the shallows.

  37.  @JackDManheim  It says that it was the result of a cramp. Although it could have been a cold shock response as well, you're not going to tell the difference between those two in an autopsy. But, it's not super relevant, he was far enough out that people couldn't throw anything to him and it only takes a few minutes to be brain dead, or actually dead. There's a lot of risks in these quarries and it's best to just not swim in them. This video is as much about highlighting the avoidable problems that can happen as talking about that particular death.

  38. Yes, although it's the Israelis, anytime they get criticized they either reference the holocaust or terrorism, as if it makes their actions any less disgusting.

  39. Yes, although from what I see, making the railings a bit higher would be possible without scrapping the entire stairs or radically changing their look.
    2
  40.  @Countryballs_Animation_Studios  That's a real problem at firehouses due to the sleeping quarters commonly being on the 2nd floor. You can still put a rail up and around it to make it less likely that you'll fall down the hole prematurely.
    2
  41.  @ALL4SCUBA05  Yes, although the rules in general were different back then and the bit that people forget is that Tokyo had already been flattened and that the Japanese had been given warnings that their were incoming bombing raids. I don't particularly condone it, but the rules were different at that time and it was hardly just the US flattening cities. The Japanese themselves flattened multiple Chinese cities themselves.

  42.  @xavierb9061  This is probably fine going over a curb, which would be a major win as there's still plenty of places in the US that don't have ADA compliant curb cuts to allow wheel chairs and mobility scooters over the edge. Going up or down stairs with this would be a lot safer if the chair could shift forward or back a few inches to keep the person in it over the upper stair when going down.
    2
  43.  @carljohnson5542  Also, this is hardly the place for it. Perhaps if people in general were more informed on the topic and there weren't instances of a half dozen people drowning in one instance as they each tried to save the people who were already drowning, there would be less interest in correcting people.

  44. I can, they're the ones that keep this going.

  45. TBH, I don't understand why townhouses exist. It's not just the bit of extra danger or the exhaustion, but those stairs take up a bunch of floor space. I'm so glad that the place doesn't have staircases in the units. One staircase can be shared by the 6 units with the wasted space being kept to a minimum and being shared between the units. Rather than each unit having to have it's own internal staircase to allow access to the rest of the unit.

  46. Yes, whether or not that's an appropriate sentence for the crime, it is in line with what the Russian law provides as punishment. If anything, it's on the light side as there was a teacher recently that got 15 years for similar charges.

  47. In a mass shooting, every unlocked door is fair game. Just make sure to have your hands up as much as possible running through any exterior doors though. Similarly, any property that needs to be destroyed attacking the shooter or avoiding them is fair game if you can't escape the rampage.

  48. That's the last thing that we need. Then the cops get there and can't tell if they've got their suspect, just a bunch of cowbodys running around possibly shooting each other.

  49. Yes, but I do think he has a point about posting a sign indicating the weight limit. She'd still not have been able to go on the ride, but would have been spared her father embarrassing her on TV.

  50. If the layout of the building is typical for multi-student housing, each room was just one student, so there's no reason why the killer had to keep killing unless there was a reason for it. It's not like the studio dorm room I had the first year at college where there were two beds and one room.
