These kinds of apartment complexes are going up all around the nation, and some of them are being built with no regard to fire mitigation. Some have attics that have open/clear voids allowing fire to travel up into the attics and across, and then spread uncontrolled. Others lack fire suppression throughout the buildings that can prevent damage beyond the initial unit where the fire starts.
Why do these kinds of fires continue to occur?
Money. It’s cheaper to build them this way, even as they go up in smoke.
And yeah, this one was under construction, but there have been enough fires in under construction apartment complexes to know the problems and they still don’t change the practices involved.

We overheard the Fire Marshall talking about how they have cited the construction company multiple times, for incidents such as leaving equipment plugged in to charge overnight. Luckily, they hadn’t made it to the stage where insulation was being out up, but the fire was so hot they are going to have to start over, as in digging up all of the foundations and plumbing.

Eleanor is the second child of the senator’s daughter, Jessica, and her husband, Michael. She is named after Eleanor Roosevelt, the former first lady and human rights activist from New York, as well as one of her paternal great-grandmothers named Alys. “We’re so happy to welcome her to the family!” wrote Schumer on Twitter.

It’s amazing that so few limbs are lost by Jedi in training… and that facilities where they train these Jedi aren’t wrecked.
Similar question about Potterverse and all the schools (Hogwarts, Drumgstrang, etc.) - and that the students don’t die or get maimed so frequently from misuse or malice.
One explanation is all spells are depowered under the roof of those schools to keep kids safer. So, if you use a killing curse, you’d either have to be super powerful to overcome the depowering hex/charm, or else it minimizes the damage. We saw that with apparation - that they prevent it via a hex/charm.

They can’t use race, religion, gender, and sexuality against a straight white Christian* male with three kids, so they have to use pure terrorism.

This has been Code on new construction since at least 2000. Older stuff? Not so much. But mangers have to install and test smoke alarms in all older complexes.

Episode 6 of “Sandman” on Netflix gets a huge plus from me. Just powerful.

If the Democrats retain control of Congress in the midterms, any sane party would conclude they have a very serious disconnect with the voters that has to be addressed. The GOP will conclude there is massive voter fraud, and they need to pass more voter suppression laws.

I don’t think there’s going to be large scale violence, but another incident like January 6 is definitely possible. Almost inevitable if Trump is allowed to keep doing this.

and that they didnt move sufficiently to the right enough
“A major factor in that change is former President Donald Trump. Trump was always going to be a factor in the race, but now it appears he might become a preeminent factor in the race. This makes Democrats very happy. They have long hoped to make the midterm elections about Trump, hoping to capitalize on his unpopularity with large swaths of the electorate, and now that appears to be happening.”

Turns out that the arrests of 20 people for voter fraud by Desantis, made with much fanfare and bluster, may be already falling apart because the statue requires you “knowingly” violate the law, but state elections officials had certified them as eligible. https://t.co/D2uzW1ZrOn

Well, their game plan is out of the bag now. Expect massive barrier and police presence every election at the Capitol and White House from now on.
However, Red State legislatures and certain county centers will probably still be hot targets as MAGA politicians allow thugs and brown shirts to inflict harm to democracy and terrorize lower profile Democratic Party associated targets.
The next insurrection will be more broadly distributed.
F*CK YES! The Republican Party is refusing to pay Trump’s legal bills over the Mar-a-Lago documents scandal.

Split health classes that only explain their own anatomy, and no exposure to pee kink porn? That’s probably pretty common.

Admittedly, female biology is quite different from male biology, and if you make zero effort to actually learn how the other sex’s body works, this is the end result. Since most people are only explicitly educated in the functionality of their own body type, there can be several surprises in store for, e.g., men who live with a woman for the first time. (And yes, vice versa as well; I have instructed some otherwise intelligent females on certain things the male anatomy does.)

Ann became disenchanted with him awhile ago — primarily because he wasn’t sufficiently devoted to actually building his wall.
re: #137 Dangerman
Impressive use of the “Presidential Bully Pulpit”!
I like the way he is bringing up the talking points needed in defense of democracy. Points that the magical-balance and stenographic media have politely ignored until now.
Pointing out that those intent on destroying institutions like free and fair elections, destroying the laws and legal institutions, threatening violence are fascistic and anti-democratic and are _not_ patriots.
I am not sufficiently politically tuned, but to this amateur observer, it seems that his timing is pretty good as well.

re: #31 Hecuba’s daughter
Per Snopes: The sign is one of many posted by a fervent Trump critic and is meant to be taken mockingly rather than literally.
Yeah, this was a little *too* over the top to actually be a Trump supporter. THAT SAID, I have heard Trump supporters (mostly Charismatic/Pentecostal TV evangelist types) call Trump the following:
* God’s man for the hour.
* God’s Cyrus (yeah, he’s a heathen like Cyrus in the Bible, but God is using him)
* Anointed by God (which is perilously getting close to one of the titles ascribed to Jesus)
There are others.
