I’m not gonna let the intruder in my home (who keeps hitting me) stay there because I refuse to break my lamp over his head.

Russians in Ukraine is a much larger threat than less shrubbery.

How hot is extreme, you and I have now asked ourselves. Well, let me read aloud.

“as high as 45 degrees Celsius” (113 F)

“northern province [of Thailand] exceeded 44.1 degrees Celsius on Saturday” (111.4 F)

“Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, India and Bangladesh, forecasters warned that temperatures could exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the coming days” (104 F)

“city of Mandalay could rise to 43 degrees Celsius” (109 F)

“It’s very unpleasant and it takes the energy out of you.”

Op ed: sounds nasty hot

Bad Omens - Like a Villian

Not a huge metal person, but coming from a rock background, I’ve really been into Bad Omens lately. They have a kinda alternative sound to them imo.

If you’re at all mechanical or work on cars/bikes or a homeowner, the Knipex Pliers Wrench is an excellent tool. It’s a set of leveraged adjustable parallel jaw pliers. So basically you can grab nuts, bolts, or anything with flats with tremendous leverage, and you can do it quickly on a range of sizes. Almost infinitely better than a crescent (adjustable) wrench, fills the spot of a whole set of open-ended box wrenches, and they’re excellent German engineering. Come in a range of sizes (bc there’s still different uses for big and small). Roughly $50-60 each, but sets are cheaper per. Plus, harbor freight makes a nice dupe of the 10in/250mm for $40 (find a coupon tho).

I was on the fence for a while, but I adore the tool and wish I had it years earlier. For most people, a 7in/180mm and 10in will fill most needs. The hype is real. Lifetime warranty too if you buy from authorized retailer (habor freight is also lifetime eyy)
