An unexploded Russian drone, carrying over 50 kg of explosives, was neutralized after striking and becoming lodged in a 24-story residential building in Odesa. A National Police bomb disposal expert manually disarmed and removed the drone’s warhead from the wall on the 15th floor, after which it was transported for controlled destruction. 📹: SESU

Have a friend who bought a smaller sized land tract in East TN. 10 acres, paid $200,000. Looks great on paper. But…he didn’t call me for advice first 🤷‍♂️. Started building & at framing stage. Told me he has to stop. Well driller is 1,000 ft deep and STILL no water. I asked him “You didn’t go on TDEC (TN Dept of Enviro) website and look at any surrounding wells and their depths?!? You didn’t call 3-4 well drillers and ask if they’ve ever drilled on your road before and what their experience has been?” He just shook his head and said “Man, I f’ed up with this one.” For those who didn’t know, if you’re ever buying land or a lot to build on, always KNOW these 3 things: 1) What is the composition of the land under that first layer of dirt? More dirt or hidden rock? Dirt - good. Rock - bad. (Way higher clearing and excavation cost, plus major PIA to run conduit, install septic, run septic lines, etc. 2) Will the soil perc? (Percolation test that determines the septic size you can put on the property). Surrounding septic permit issuances can be found on most municipality websites. 3) Can you hit water? Most states provide perc info and well drilling info for surround parcels (if they’ve ever been drilled or perc’d). See these screenshots of wells drilled. RED IS BAD! Stay away from those areas. That means the well driller had to go really deep. What you also don’t see are surrounding lots who also went really deep and couldn’t hit water. Know another guy who paid a driller to drill in 4 different spots on his land. He was desperate because he paid a lot per acre for his land. Hit zero water all 4 times. What he paid for that land probably got cut in half with that info plus the cost he incurred with the driller. Always ask questions of the realtor or the owner (and do deep due diligence) before you sign that contract or those closing docs.

I don't think girls realize that they literally have a 100% success rate if they shoot their shot first

Unpopular opinion: (I might get yelled at) You don’t want a 992 3RS. You think you do because of what you see on social media and the flexing all day long. For those that are familiar with the car, it’s actually a very boring car under 100mph. It is SO capable, that it needs to be pushed on a track to even get remotely close to what it can do. On normal roads and highways you don’t even get close to 50% of what the car can do. While this is true with many supercars, I feel there’s many others that can give you an amazing thrill without needed to push so hard. I stand by a 992 3RS under 100mph is a pretty boring car.

Apparently SPC Jones defected to Estonia and is now a General or something…
