Obligatory pedantic correction: Ancient Egyptian kings did not kill servants/staff to be buried alongside them in their tombs. The only evidence for retainer sacrifice occurs in the 1st Dynasty, at the very dawn of Egyptian history. It died out pretty much immediately, and for the next 2,700 years, tomb owners relied on "pragmatic magic" to ensure that they were well taken care of in the afterlife. The most famous example of magic servants are ushabtis (๐ ฑ๐๐๐๐ญ๐พ) โ small mummiform statues made of clay, stone, wood, or faience inscribed with hieroglyphs โ that were intended to act as task-rabbits for the deceased, should they be called upon to do manual labor in the afterlife. https://smarthistory.org/ushabti-ancient-egyptian-afterlife/

2024-08-29 18:31:37 +0000 UTCAccording to a Medina Township police report, some witnesses told responding officers Hogan threw the beer, but other witnesses said it was a crew member who "was throwing beers from the stage like a 'baseball pitch,'" according to reporting by News 5, a Beacon Journal news partner.

2024-08-29 12:15:47 +0000 UTCThe car is a powerful thing. A friend, Jim, relayed a story he was involved in: He went to pick up a friend from a country bar. His friend was nursing a wounded ego from being told to back off by a woman's bf. When Jim arrived, he told Jim what happened. Jim's friend jumped up, rushed over, and smashed the much larger guy with a beer bottle, jumped back and yelled, "Get 'im, Jim!" Jim just stood there like, "I don't know who you're talking to." The big guy recovered and the bartender told them take it outside. The big guy and his equally big friend went out front to wait for Jim and his friend. They were like, "These guys are going to kill us." So they snuck out the back, ran to the car, halfway there, the woman stepped out and yelled, "You leave my bf alone." The chase was on. They arrived at the car, which belonged to Jim's friend, at the same time. They managed to get in without too much pummeling and these guys started pounding on the car. Jim friend started the car, threw it in reverse and floored it, throwing one of the guys to the ground. They had escaped. Only... Jim friend turned around and tried to run them down, missing both guys. Jim was yelling, "WTF are you doing, man?" His friend turned around and floored it again. As they passed the exit, Jim grabbed the wheel and whipped the car into the street and they left. Gotta love the '70s.

2024-08-29 09:39:32 +0000 UTCYes, cartels brand their products. Also, living in Orlando, I followed this case rather closely. The million dollars in cocaine was transferred by the police who found it to the evidence room, where the technician took possession of the $500,000 worth of cocaine and placed on the shelf., when it was necessary to test it, the $200,000 worth of cocaine was taken out of the evidence room and given to a technician who took the $100,000 worth of cocaine and tested it. Tested positive, so the technician returned the $50,000 worth of cocaine to the evidence room, where the technician in the evidence room custody of the $25,000 worth of cocaine and placed it securely so that the perpetrator could stand trial if caught

2024-08-29 04:08:49 +0000 UTCA few months back, I asked ChatGPT to give me a biography on myself. I did not make a typo. Its response was a complete fabrication of a human being who does not exist, because my first name is unusually spelled, and my last name is unique enough that Iโm related to all of them and I certainly would have noted that particular person with my exact name.
