Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Talk about milking a prostate

There�s no euthanasia clinics in Germany. I guess what they mean is palliative care hospices, but assisted suicide is not allowed.

No clue about the legalities in Germany, but euthanasia and assisted suicide aren't the same thing.

(1) If a person has been determined to kill by the express and serious request of the person killed, a custodial sentence of six months to five years shall be imposed.
(2) The attempt is punishable.

Aktive Sterbehilfe is illegal.

Assisting someone's suicide isn't illegal, but there are no clinics where they give you a loaded gun to kill yourself with.

Relatedly, never trust anything the spectator reports.

Dang, I looked it up and that's talking about the Bradford pear species. I was hoping it was about like, a single tree.

"Once, this tree was known throughout the land as the perfect example of its kind. But now, its fruit...has gone sour."

It does sound very much like the setup for a Hallmark movie about a town banding together to reignite its iconic tree's Christmas spirit.

Wait is it just a pear tree that provides sour pears, cause that sounds pretty good. Like karmijn de sonnaville apples, but with pears.

Or does the tree eat passing children? Which is even better.

The pears aren't poisonous (to humans, they probably are to dogs) but they're largely considered inedible. On top of that they're extremely invasive, crowd out other species including natives, and they're super fragile and just sort of fall apart within a decade or two. You'll lose branches constantly and then one day the trunk will just sort of fall apart all over your yard, car, powerlines, whatever.

bradford pears are very pretty trees but they have a fishy/cummy smell in the spring when they're blooming and any kind of moderately strong storm will snap them in half

Callery pears* are invasive and smell like semen and have weak, awful branch structure.

But they�re less bad than a lot of other invasive for the sole reason that if you have one in a decent spot, you can lop the top off of it and graft delicious edible pear scions to it.

*That�s the species; Bradford is the main commercial cultivar.

Young entrepreneur turns over �250k destroying unsafe breast implants

A young entrepreneur from Ipswich is turning over �250,000 a year shredding tonnes of breast implants and destroying mouldy bananas.

Jake Slinn, 21, founded JS Global two years ago at a desk in his bedroom when he spotted a gap in the market for the destruction of goods.

Now the firm is based out of an office in Needham Market, where he employs his brother Jez as a salesman.

Much of the business comes from destroying items that are not allowed into the country, or have been abandoned at ports.

He said: "We destroy anything that's fake or not up to UK standards. Anything that's unfit for human consumption, so we do a lot of food waste and things that are out date."

"We'll go to the docks and when we open the doors it's normally a surprise, because nine times out of ten it is not what it says on the tin.

"It can be anything from toys to electrical items that Trading Standards or Border Force, are pulling aside day-to-day."

The company is able to resell some items that are not dangerous or illegal.

Mr Slinn said a 40ft container full of breast implants was among the most memorable cargoes he had dealt with.

"It was full of 20-25tonnes of breast implants that had come in from outside of the UK," he said.

"Over 50,000 breast implants all together.

"They were abandoned and because they're in the health sector we couldn't resell them, so we had to destroy them."

The implants were shredded and then turned into refuse derived fuel and used to generate electricity.

Other items disposed of JS Global include out of date food and drink which can be used to generate electricity from anaerobic digestion plants.

More recently the firm has dealt with a wave of counterfeit PPE. This included four containers that claimed to be full of masks but actually contained bricks.

Mr Slinn hopes that his speedy rise in the world of business can inspire other people.

He said: "I failed massively at school. I was always a bit of a class clown.

"I started from nothing, with no GCSEs and I'm not doing too bad for myself. So I just sort of show that it's not all about that."

As for his own ambitions, Mr Slinn said he wants "to go global" and has set his sights on turning over �1million per year.
