Use one for your next repair job. Their bills are small.

Reply to Teen shoots self in toe, then friend fires at clerk in mistaken retaliation, police say by HaveBikeWillRide
So, not only did the boy shoot himself in the foot, the other boy shot FOUR TIMES at the clerk, presumably at close range, and MISSED.
Seems to me like neither of these folks should have been around a gun, and the clerk is lucky to be unharmed.

It's the nicest hollow on my street, I must say.

We have so consistently underestimated other species.

This is the worst thing... he didn't tip either
> The Tulsa, Oklahoma, resident paid using a credit card and said he selected the “no tip” option on the coffee chains’ computerized system and shelled out $11.83 on Jan. 7 for a venti Iced Americano and a venti Caramel Frappuccino with a single shot espresso for his wife.

They probably racked up cancellation fees and lost non-refundable deposits from their trip, too. Even though they got the $4k back I'm sure they are still coming out financially way behind where they were before the situation. Get a lawyer because if this was a Starbucks f-up they should be giving the family some extra dough to cover those losses.

This is why I don’t tip at Starbucks.

A friend of mine inherited a cockatoo from his grandfather. Grandpa had gotten the bird when he was a young man, and when he died my friend took over care.
These birds live for like 100 years, so it’s a big deal to get one as a pet. This particular cockatoo was a grumpy little thing and only liked grandpa. No one else. It was a hellion after grandpa died.
It happened to be an endangered species, so eventually my friend donated him to the local wildlife sanctuary. He was given a big enclosure and lots of stuff to do.
We went to visit him once, and he was there calling out to visitors. “Come closer, come closer.”
Whenever anyone did, he threw rocks at them, then laughed uproariously. Living his best life.

I’ve known of pet cockatoos who have disassembled their own cages in order to escape. They’re also loud as fuck.

I have seen them ride little bikes and that is a very green mode of transportation. So as long as they are not loading up their gas-guzzling utility trucks with these toolkits for their contractor gigs, I am down with this.

And Chicago has no residents with Asian backgrounds. My mistake. Maybe because it's too cold or something.

If you read the article, he seems like a nice enough guy who thinks his job as a Christian is to make people happy.
That's not really oniony, even if you don't like Christians.

I hired a firm of them to design me a house and their plans had me living in a tree hollow and there was nowhere to park my car.
