It’s a rural town, so maybe a lot of the kids live in the country and are on wells instead of the town’s water tower?

The article says that the man is prohibited from owning firearms, so he probably has a felony or something. I’m not sure about California, but you wouldn’t need any kind of special license to own all of those guns and ammo in a lot of states.
My spouse and I did something very similar. It sucks, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Fortunately, we only had one friend that got offended enough to defriend us and, well frankly, we decided that maybe we were better off without that particular friend in our lives.
Congratulations, by the way!
To be fair, I suspect the average adult in real life probably only remembers, and uses, 5th grade math.
He says that she’s alive and well and has been busy devoting her time to Scientology and is definitely not dead or being held captive or anything, so I shouldn’t “worry my pretty head about it, sweet cheeks.” I should note that he was born in the 40’s.
He’s a scientologist. Same thing, right?
A zebra is closer to the size of a donkey than a horse, and donkeys have about 5 horsepower, so a 200hp car would be about 40zf (zebra force). Also, since horses actually have about 15 horsepower, that same car would be about 13ahp (actual horse power). Llamas are also about the size of a donkey, so probably similar numbers.
Disclaimer: I’m not a scientist and these numbers came from my ass.
Or additional dumbasses. Dumbass is not an uncommon trait, after all.
Companies wonder why people use adblockers; this is my experience trying to read this article on mobile without an adblocker:

Three paragraphs, each composed of a single sentence.

Is that the end of the article? I think so, but I’ve missed things before, so better keep scrolling a bit just in case.

Okay, pretty sure I’ve read the entire article now, but let’s keep scrolling to see how far this bullshit goes.

And then the following pattern SIX times:

FINALLY a whole bunch of links to other articles, some of which are promoted by Taboola, whatever the fuck that is.
And the entire time there was a red popup for “breaking news” taking up 1/5 of the screen.
For those keeping track at home, the article was a total of fourteen sentences, one photo of the school, and two stock photos. And no photo of a bathroom without mirrors.
Maybe the smart TV’s are being subsidized by the money they make selling the data they collect from you?
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
You know, I would like to believe that these people are going to learn their lesson while in jail, but for some reason I doubt it. I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that after everything trumpty dumpty has said and done, including saying he’s going to be a dictator, and half the country still wants to hand him the country on a silver platter (like everything else in his life)? I don’t understand it.
Too many people are too comfortable to ever get off their asses to do anything more than bitch about it online. It’s a very small percentage of people that actually go to rallies and half of those people are middle class white people that have never known real hardship; the kind of people that are surprised when they get pepper sprayed while trying to break into the capitol. There won’t be a civil war, but we’re definitely on the brink of single party rule.
We’re like a bunch of frogs sitting in water that is being slowly brought to a boil, but except for water it’s fascism and half the country is okay with it because they think they are “saving the children.” The other half think they can stop it. I think that both sides might be delusional.
Cheaper than a kid!

Disregarding acting ability, I don’t think Pattinson had the physicality for it; he didn’t look big enough to me to be believable. You could really tell the Batman costume had a lot of padding when you saw him as Bruce Wayne. I think he’s just too lithe, for the lack of a better descriptor, for the character, you know?
It’s a fantastic idea on paper; you, and another family, want to go on vacation but want to be more comfortable than in a hotel while renting your homes out while you’re gone so someone one else gets the same comfort and you get to make a little of money to help pay for the vacation. And everyone saves a little on their vacation accomodations to boot. Everyone wins! And then capitalism and greed happened and people turned the rentals into a business and ruined it.
Is it a Rick Roll if you expect it?
