They'll find a way to make it more complicated. By splitting it off into 10 different courses, focused on like, "Pandemics in the 21st century", and "Civil Rights movements in the 21st century". But when it comes to studying one single French Village in the mid-17th century through the writings of some halfway literate clerk logging who traded which chickens for firewood, and who murdered who on the head with a bronze cup for 6 buttons of unknown stone...it will become a focal point of utterly serious importance.

Where the real history is. Social Studies teacher here/former history/political science major here, can confirm. We had an entire course in college on "Civil War Reconstruction". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indicating, it's clearly not a "normal" way to have a door pull configured in any way, shape, or form. I think it's pretty clear that at some point, it was tied like a noose on purpose, which is problematic in it's own right i'd say. Even if the specific intent may not have been exactly what was first suspected in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Amazon bought the rights to the new Arena being built in Seattle for the new NHL team. Naming it: "Climate Pledge Arena" Instead of calling it Amazon Arena, we’re naming it Climate Pledge Arena as a regular reminder of the urgent need for climate action. It will be the first net zero carbon certified arena in the world, generate zero waste from operations and events, and use reclaimed rainwater in the ice system to create the greenest ice in the NHL. This is just about the most Seattle thing I can think of. Kinda like it. The NBA is definitely gonna wanna get in on those Bezo's bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I heard he’s a stickler about turning the lights off when he leaves a room and keeps the thermostat set at 72 in the summer as to not waste energy in his 22k square foot home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the specific intent may not have been exactly what was first suspected in this case. I saw a video from 2019 that had a very similar one in it. So I’d say I believe the report, but also given how rare they appear to be, I also completely understand why someone would think that. However, I saw the one in a tree. I can’t imagine there’s any explanation for that one. And I can’t help but think that the false alarm on the one in the garage is completely covering up that there was quite clearly one in a tree that can’t be explained away.
