@Breaking57 She did absolutely nothing wrong. She clearly parked legally on a public street to walk her dog. The homeowner should be charged for wasting the police department’s time.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ This father has no common sense. You teach your kids to ride (and brake) on a flat surface with no cars. They have to show they are ready before they get to do more. These kids were untrained and in way over their heads. That’s 100% dad’s fault.
English

This father took his two boys bike riding. The trail they were on said kid friendly.
But as you can see, chaos erupted. As the dad was tending to his one son who had already crashed, his other son was coming down the trail. He screamed several times for him to hit his brakes but his son flew by him and kept going and wiped out. When the dad got to him, he appeared to be okay.
Just to be safe, he took his boys to go get checked out.
Luckily no broken bones, internal bleeding or permanent damage outside of a few cuts bruises and scrapes.
The dad said he wishes he would have just reached back and grabbed him as he came down but he was busy tending to his other son. It could have been much worse.
Many people are blaming the dad saying he was irresponsible and that he should have checked the trail out before they rode down it.
Do you think the father is to blame? Do you think it’s just boys being boys, they’re tough and that’s life? Or, do you think the parks and recreation department is to blame for labeling the bike path as a kid’s path?

@lady_valor_07 On your deathbed, would be such a bad thing to be remembered as generous to servers? Yesterday, the car dealership called an Uber for me. I asked the driver if they included a tip. He said no. So I gave him $20. It’s ok to be nice.

@joedelhi My dog goes absolutely nuts when I return from taking out the garbage.

Left behind in Kabul. Alone. He waited 47 days.
K-9 Chaos was not a dog who did his job. He was a dog who had DECIDED, completely, permanently, without reservation, that Lieutenant Marcus Webb was coming back for him. No matter how long it took.
At Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul, on the morning of August 30th, 2021, a three-year-old Belgian Malinois sat in an empty aircraft hangar. The last American plane had left six hours ago. The evacuation was over.
Chaos had been left behind.
Not intentionally. The chaos of the withdrawal. The panic. The rush. Webb had been separated from Chaos during the final evacuation. Put on a different plane. Told Chaos would be on the next flight.
There was no next flight.
Chaos survived the first day alone. Waiting at the hangar where Webb had left him.
Chaos survived the first week. Scavenging food from abandoned military supplies.
Chaos survived 47 days in Taliban-controlled Kabul. Alone. Hiding. Waiting.
Because Chaos survived on the belief that Webb wouldn't leave him forever.
Back in the United States, Webb was losing his mind. Filed reports. Called congressmen. Contacted rescue organizations. Went on the news.
"I left my dog in Afghanistan," he said on CNN, his voice breaking. "I left my brother. And I'm going to get him back."
The military said it was impossible. Kabul had fallen. Taliban controlled the airport. No way to extract a dog.
Webb didn't care about impossible.
He contacted Pineapple Express, a veteran-run extraction operation. Gave them Chaos's last known location. Sent photos. Videos. Anything that could help.
For 47 days, Webb didn't sleep. Didn't eat properly. Just waited for news.
On October 16th, 2021, his phone rang.
"We found him," the voice said. "We found Chaos."
A rescue team had infiltrated Kabul. Used Webb's intel. Found Chaos still at the hangar. Still waiting. Forty-seven days later.
Chaos was emaciated. Dehydrated. Traumatized.
But alive.
The extraction took three days. Smuggling Chaos out of Taliban-controlled territory. Through checkpoints. Through danger.
But they got him out.
On October 19th, 2021, Chaos landed at Dulles International Airport. Webb was waiting on the tarmac.
When they opened the crate, Chaos didn't move. Stared at Webb like he was seeing a ghost.
"It's me, brother," Webb said, kneeling down. "I came back. I promised I'd come back."
Chaos stepped out slowly. Walked to Webb. Collapsed into his arms.
The reunion video went viral. Seventeen million views in three days.
But what people didn't see was what happened after.
For six months, Chaos wouldn't sleep unless Webb was in the room. Wouldn't eat unless Webb fed him. Wouldn't go outside unless Webb went first.
"He's terrified I'll leave him again," Webb said in an interview. "And I don't blame him. I left him once. In the worst place. At the worst time. He waited 47 days for me. And I'll spend the rest of my life making sure he knows I'm never leaving again."
Three years later, Chaos still sleeps with his head on Webb's chest. Still follows him everywhere.
Still making sure Webb doesn't disappear.
K-9 Chaos. Survived 47 days alone in Kabul. Extracted by heroes. Reunited with his handler. Home.

@getrichordietri @LASHYBILLS The kid is an irredeemable monster. But who left the porch light on in the daytime?
English

@stevemagness These guys are excellent runners. But this has little to do with longevity. Peter Attia makes the ridiculous claim that a high VO2 max and deadlift strength are crucial. Touting sprinters seems similar. In reality, eating healthy, staying slim and active are what really matter.
English

These guys should be the real longevity influencers..
It's not cosplaying for the gram, using some biomarker to convince yourself, it's legitimate functional performance in the arena.

@Raindropsmedia1 We received a call that you were looking through a car. Is there an explanation? Yes, that’s my wife’s car. End of story. The cop was no competent.
English

@elonmusk And yet, the self-driving on my Tesla isn’t worth paying for. I try it occasionally for a month to see if it has improved (it has), but it still makes too many mistakes.

@VegNews @CedEntertainer Want to quickly overcome your fondness for cheese? Visit a dairy where the cheese is made.
English

Cheese can be a tough one for peeps transitioning to a plant-based diet (just ask @CedEntertainer). Try these when the cravings hit.

@5am1am_6 It’s always nice to be caught being an awesome person.

@TruCrimeBeliebr Kidnappers don’t send vague ransom notes to media outlets. They send them to the person who can pay the ransom. The only reasonable conclusion is that Nancy Guthrie died shortly after the abduction and the kidnappers were unable to move forward with their scheme.
English

Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping
Savannah speaks
-Nancy’s back doors were left propped open
-All personal belongings were left inside
-Her brother thinks it’s possible this happened because of her fame
-Her brother believed it was a kidnapping for ransom very early on
-She believes 2 of the ransom notes were real
-She doesn’t seem to know more than any of us do in regards to the investigation

@noregretvet_ Is it possible everyone involved in this incident has terrible judgment?
English

@BStulberg @hubermanlab Everyone knows the key to longevity is guzzling AG1.
English

@hubermanlab Dude I don’t think that’s true. I’ve been in this business for nearly two decades and we’ve been saying exercise is the number one intervention that entire time. I’ve got receipts from articles I wrote over a decade ago saying this.
English

@CPowers14 I’m a “lib” and scratch golfer. Do you really think that’s how we watch golf? I can’t think of a single PGA Tour player who is even a moderate. But I can appreciate good golf shots — including Young’s amazing tee shot on 18 under extreme pressure.
English

@TourSwingsTommy Looks like 6 handicap. Scottie Scheffler looks like a 10 handicap (if you don’t watch the ball flight).

@TheEXECUTlONER_ I have an ice chest full of drinks and snacks on my porch to show my appreciation for hard-working delivery drivers. They tend to treat me well in return.

@gotrice2024 Mom and dad paid for the boat. The disrespectful daughter should be permanently banned from it. And maybe it’s time for her to pay her own bills.
English

This family just got a new boat, dad was too excited, he was arguing with another member of the family to notice his boat which they though they tied up properly, was floating and was going to collide with another boat. That’s when his daughter who was already irritated because they weren’t doing what they were supposed to be doing, sprang into action. Other family members were yelling for her to calm down and that it was under control and fine. Do you think because of her quick thinking, she saved their new boat from hitting another boat or did she overreact?
English

@dr_ericberg This is why smart people don’t take nutrition advice from a chiropractor.
English

The single root cause of most chronic diseases is high glucose!
But the food industry has created the lie that glucose is your body’s preferred fuel because they can profit the most from refined carbohydrates!
On the contrary, a low-carb diet of less than 30 grams of carbs per day is one of the best things you can do to improve your health.

@bengreenfield What were the mistakes? That’s who he is. He says he has grown as a man since those ridiculous emails. He was in his 40s! You don’t suddenly become a decent person after that.
English

@lucasaganronald Not only is he very talented, he brings the intensity and focus to every race. That kind of fire will eventually burn out. Let’s hope we get to witness a few more years of greatness before he signs off.

It feels like MVDP at the age of 31 has achieved everything he could in the cycling world. He became a road world champion, he won every monument he had a chance on, he won a Tour stage and now after achieving the record 8th CX Worlds title, some people fear he may struggle with motivation… so what can he still target?
