Out Of Gas
Or: "Car runs out of gas on the highway and the driver decides to endanger everyone else instead of walking a few hundred feet to the gas station."
Could Earth's Heat Solve Our Energy Problems?
You'd be surprised.
Geothermal try to keep public exposure to less than 1 mSv per year.

Living near a Nuclear Power station will get you about 0.00009 mSv/year.
Living in Fukushima will get you about 10 mSv in a lifetime, with life expectancy there at about 84 years that is 0.177 mSv/year.

Even Chernobyl is almost entirely background radiation now. Radiation is all scaremongering and misinformation these days, so people freak out about it but it really isn't that dangerous. It takes about 100 mSv a year to have even the slightest statistically detectable health effect and far more than that to actually kill someone.
Please site your sources for this information.
I'm assuming they mean the estimated radiation from a properly functioning nuclear power plant and not the average actual radiation, which includes meltdowns, leaks, transportation accidents, etc. I can't imagine any geothermal plant ever contaminating like Chernobyl or Fukushima did.
It bears noting that coal ash is apparently 3-6 more radioactive than properly functioning nuclear power plants emit for the same energy generation, and it gets absorbed both directly from particles and indirectly in food and water.
Could Earth's Heat Solve Our Energy Problems?
Don't tell the environmentalists how much radiation geothermal releases. It is many orders of magnitude more than a nuclear power station and if they were held to the same standard they would never be built.
Palm Tree Trimming Gone Bad
My memory of palmetto bugs is entering a room, turning on a light, three of the bastards turn around, look at me like they're sizing me up, and then scuttle away.
Insects making eye contact with a human is just fundamentally wrong. Insects whose concept of humans is anything less than an ineffable cosmic force have evolved beyond their allotted station and should be purged from existence. They can take their flaming death trees with them.
Those things are full of palmetto bugs (hence the name) and I can't imagine the number of them swarming out after it caught fire. Those things ick me out worse than regular roaches.
The Prayer - Marcelito Pomoy Male/Female Parts Same Person
Impressive vocals but that seemed prerecorded, not live in a radio studio.
(edit) Watching others from the same radio station, seems they have a studio type set up for these musical performances. Recording quality seems amazing.
David Attenborough on how to save the planet
Dont blame "capitalism", blame humans, civilisation. Some countries, communities, families are able to create institutions and rules that span generations and centuries without destroying their livelihoods. Call it capitalism if you must, but the only way for humans to survive it is if they are allowed to make meaningful decisions and shoulder the responsibility for those decisions.
I lived in a "communist" country and I can inform you that shit was removed from rivers, sulfur from power station smoke and lead from car exhaust gasses only after it reverted to a form of constitutional democratic individualistic "capitalism".
All it takes is some basic rules about shit and rivers and a will either free, or imposed by institutions, to abide.
Some big rich countries have good rules and institutions, some dont. Most poor countries dont and that is a real problem. If you cant afford to put shit anywhere else it has to go in the river.
Unfortunately in an individualistic capitalist system the guy who's feeding his family by pouring shit in the river will fight you tooth and nail irrespective of what it means for the planet. Every other asshole is doing it why should he starve? This is why the more socially minded countries are the ones who can control themselves, as everyone feels they have a stake in it and they know they won't starve.. unfortunately the big rich countries are by definition plunderers running on greed and desperation.

A Better Way to Tax the Rich
Poor can't afford TV's now that there's no free broadcast stations anymore.
It's their phones they can't look away from.
Kids starving? Yep. Homeless? Check. Deal drugs and/or pimp yourself out just to survive? Sure, but you'll pry my iPhone from my cold, dead hands.
In France, it was necessary to riot in order to eat. Today's poor in the US have a hard time getting up from their TV sets.
Dave Grohl Tells Jane Kennedy The Greatest Story Ever
Hmmm. Didn't call gas station ever. Girl knows him. Knows about the wallet.
Delaware State Trooper Pulls Gun on Black Man For Speeding
Corporal O’Neil of Troop 7 in Lewes, Del., reportedly did not request license or registration, never said why he was pulling him over until long after they were at the station, and repeatedly berated "you people" on the way to the station, telling Buckly "you're a piece of shit...go ahead and try the race card"
Buckley was not allowed to file an official complaint when he was released, in violation of more laws.
This is why police get shot in the face during traffic stops, and why some of them deserve it. There was zero reason to have him get out of the car, or to pull a deadly weapon.
I had the same treatment except the gun was to my head, and I was thrown to the concrete and jumped on, all while complying with commands, all because a dumb cop read my license plate wrong.
Fuck the police until criminal cops like this are all in a deep dark prison with no special protection.

Mancatchers
From Wikipedia's Man catcher page's section on China:
"A type of locking man catcher is available for staff at train stations and airports in China to capture and restrain individuals in a non-lethal manner.
"In some junior and middle schools, security guards are equipped with non-locking variants designed to seize a person's waist or prevent them from advancing. It is essentially a two-pronged fork, a U-shape projecting from a pole."
Hold up. Wait a minute. Something ain't right!
This was probably cut together after the fact, not by the news station
Tesla Towing Silverado Truck Out Of A Charger Station
I found the sentiment appropriate for any douche that blocks charging stations intentionally, diesel truck or Honda Civic.
I say treat them like people parking in handicapped parking spots...maybe don't shoot them like in Florida, but I have no problem with someone removing the offenders by any means they see fit, with any damage done being the parker's responsibility. I also would have no problem if the valves were removed from at least two tires, forcing them to be towed to a tire shop afterwards.
Use your car to be a dick, don't whine when you lose it or find it damaged.
Sorry, I'm definitely only referring to the coal-rolling shitstains that have nothing better to do than passive-aggressively bully other people.
If you don't like electric vehicles, don't buy one.
Don't see anyone blocking diesel pumps.
Ps. I don't own or want an EV, and my Mustang definitely gets worse mileage than any diesel, by design. If someone looks down their nose at me, I'm not going to do shit to innocent bystanders just because I'm a whiny little bitch like the ICEing dicks.
Tesla Towing Silverado Truck Out Of A Charger Station
That seems a little harsh given the vast majority of the car owning public can’t afford a BEV.
Although parking in a charging station is definitely a dick move.
You're supposed to tow it sideways, with the rope wrapped over the roof at least once. ICE = Inbred Cocksucker Entertainment. Automotive version of InCells.
