What is the Car Extended Warranty Scam Call About?
When you buy a new-ish car, it will generally have a factory warranty. This means for a period of time and/or mileage- say, 5 years/100,000 miles- the dealer will handle otherwise expensive repairs.
When the warranty expires, the owner is completely financially responsible for repairs going forward. That can be a frightening prospect for many people, especially the elderly or poor.

M82A91 “Silver Bullet” Tank Shell
For those that aren’t familiar, these are referred to as APFSDS shells (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot). The working bit is an extremely long, extremely thin, extremely dense fin stabilized “dart” (the bright silver thing running up the middle), which is why they are also sometimes referred to as LRPs (long rod penetrators).
This is held centered in the barrel by a multi-piece “sabot” (the darker grey bit) that separates from the dart when it leaves the gun.
The sabot is made of relatively light material, but increases the surface area that the chamber pressure can work on, which means that the dart exits the barrel much much faster than it would with a smaller diameter barrel.
Father Teaches Son How To Deal With a Bully
So my son was being bullied pretty badly at school. People would make fun of his accent, use racial slurs towards him, throw open milk cartons at him at lunch, start rumors about him, they put his book bag in the toilet once, and a bunch of fucked shit kids do to each other.
My son had told on the main perpetrator to me and his mother and I went to the school and told them about my concerns and the school gave him a stern talking to which only stopped him for a few weeks and then he continued to bully my son.

Confessions of a Cluster Headache Sufferer
Whatever you’re doing, stop. Stop because right now, there’s something more pressing, and there’s no way in fuck you’ll be able to keep doing whatever it is in the coming moments. Knitting? Shitting? Out to eat with friends? At school? Work? Fucking? Running? Gaming? Getting high?
Stop. There’s an itch in the very back of your eye that’s simply begging for your attention.

Tinder actually! We first saw each other on there, and hung out over time before we started actually dating. I was extremely nervous when we first hung out because I knew about the height difference but it didn’t bother her at all

Sennheiser HE-1
Man, I’m not going to lie… they really f*cked me up.
Blown away would be an understatement.
Over the years I’ve made a few playlists of songs I think sound particularly good on headphones. Also songs that have been particularly meaningful to me.
And when rolling through those tracks, I was simply overcome with emotion.
If I had to describe the sound in one word it would be “overwhelmingly beautiful.”

Ivan The Terrible And His Son, By Ilya Repin, 1885
Their relationship further deteriorated when on 15 November, the Tsar, after seeing his pregnant daughter-in-law wearing unconventionally light clothing, physically assaulted her. Hearing her screams, the Tsarevich rushed to his wife’s defense, angrily shouting, “You sent my first wife to a convent for no reason, you did the same with my second, and now you strike the third, causing the death of the son she holds in her womb.” Yelena subsequently suffered a miscarriage.
