I have a real love of reviews for local places. Theres a review for Ben Nevis giving it 3 stars, marked down because it was high, plus marks for good toilets. Theres also a 5 star review for a local Vietnamese restaurant saying 'the smell of sewage was not overwhelming'

there's a place near me where there's one google review, one star, about how upset the reviewer is that they drove three hours to get ice cream and frozen yogurt and the place doesn't sell ice cream

YouTube dumbass King of Random has been charged with second-degree felony possession of explosives. :discourse:

https://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=46238745

quote:

Jonathan Grant Thompson, 37, and Timothy Burgess, 20, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada, were charged Tuesday in 3rd District Court with possession of an explosive device, a second-degree felony. Thompson is charged with two counts and Burgess is charged with one.

Police were alerted to the South Jordan man in June when investigators received a tip from a concerned citizen that he was making and exploding dry ice bombs in his backyard and posting videos on YouTube, according to charging documents.

On Aug. 27, South Jordan police responded to Thompson's house, near 900 West and 10400 South, after another explosion. He told officers he "had a YouTube channel where he films science experiments, including explosions," the charges state.

Thompson further explained that a friend had "left him with a bag of unknown powder substance" which he assumed was a firework that had been taken apart. Thompson and Burgess decided to light it, according to the charges.

At first, police say they lit a few small batches that resulted in a small flame and noise. Burgess then allegedly lit a bigger pile. The ensuing explosion "sent small flaming particles into the air, some of which embedded into Burgess' leg and arm after burning off some of his hair," the charges say.

Responding firefighters heard the blast from their fire station five minutes before they were officially dispatched, according to the charges.

I interned doing computer janitor work at a chemical company in Connecticut that specialized in rubber products. One day I was in a lab removing malware, and one of the scientists threw an empty plastic Coke bottle at me. It exploded quite loudly, as he had filled it with some liquid nitrogen.

Reminds me of another story about that job that's probably for the OSHA thread - I was in a different facility, and was taking a shortcut through the greenhouse. I saw a man in full gear - plastic suit, respirator, face mask - spraying down the plants with some chemical. He freaked out when he saw me walk through the door. I ran out and got lost trying to find the room I was going to, as the only directions I knew went through there.

So a local Burger King is getting accused of housing temporary foreign workers in its flooded basement.


I swear this place is THIS close to making burgers out of people flesh.

I use to go to this Burger King a lot 11 years ago as it was close to where I lived, and it was great because they constantly hosed up my orders and I got plenty of free food because of it. I don’t eat fast food a lot anymore (and definitely not Burger King) but that doesn’t surprise me in the least.

What a dumbass. Kinda surprised that it's a proper apology this time, not one of those "I would never do this, that's not who I am" though

Oh, so you're one of those customers.

I bet if you go to a sitdown place you get lovely service all the time too.

Weirdly enough the constant specter of being judged and examined on social media might contribute to the impulse to make these videos. Being defiantly transgressive and then recording and publishing your own transgression feels like public-image suicide for someone who otherwise can't or won't disengage from their online presence.
