Controlled demo or did it collapse by itself like they feared?

@lonewolf  
Collapsed by itself at night.

@MagpulPony  

 
Jeez, I knew it was scheduled for demolition because it was deemed unsafe, but I didn’t think it was THAT CLOSE to collapsing!

That’s such a cliche. it’s not even funny anymore.

2 leftists arrested in Bellingham Washington for plotting terrorist attacks against railroad.
 
Edit: Yep they were tree humpers.

Rare white cougar spotted in Brazil.
 
Though they’re not that rare. Go to a bar on a weekend and you’ll see plenty.
 
Leaked. Amazon hires people to spy on labor groups, environmental groups, etc.

Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather to face YouTuber Logan Paul in February boxing PPV
 
If this doesn’t end with Logan getting his face caved in within the first 10 seconds of the match imma call this match rigged.

2020 isn’t done yet.
 
RIP Chuck Yeager.
 
USS Bonhomme Richard heading for scrap

Charley Pride has died from Corona complications.
 
Still 2 1/2 weeks left for 2020 to further be a pile of shit.

Bill Gates on the next few months of the pandemic: ‘It’s bad news’
 
MarketWatch, Inc.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
I have the same medical degree as Bill Gates.

@MagpulPony  

 
Did you bother reading the article at all, or do you think the people at the IHME he quoted also don’t have degrees in the relevant fields?
 
And hey, let us know once you have a tenth of the experience or business acumen as Bill Gates, given he’s mostly talking about the economic impact.

@Background Pony #4436  
Why so salty about an obvious joke?

@MagpulPony  
The recent growing trend of anti-intellectualism and discarding the words of experts and people that have been studying specific topics for years or decades in favor of “my gut feeling”, “my personal extremely limited experience” or “they’re an elite thus wrong” is none too funny.
 
Post news, not incitements to disregard what people that know far more than you ever will.

@Background Pony #4436  
More than I ever will about computers you mean. Bill Gates is not a god anymore than I am, nor should he be treated as such. That’s all.

Follow up on the kid who had Santa deny him a nerf blaster.
 
Not only did the mall give him a bunch of Nerf guns, Hasbro and the NRA also sent him a bunch, and the NRA made him a lifetime member (cue triggered liberals).

TikTok bans MLM content from platform.
 
On one hand, MLMs are a scourge. On the other, these are some people’s livelihoods that TikTok is curtailing, which shouldn’t be done during a pandemic.

@Goku Black  
I misread MLM as ‘men loving men’ aka woke Twitter’s way of saying gay men.
 
idk if that says more about me or what.

@Goku Black
 
You do know most people involved in MLMs spend more money than they make, right?

@TheDog  
Yes, I’m well aware, which is why I called them a scourge. But I’m also a big proponent of letting people choose their own occupations…even if MLMs are their career of choice.

@Goku Black
 
Nice to see that. Still sucks today’s kids will never know what it was like to wake up and have solid cartoons on 3 networks from 7 to noon (so glad I was an 80’s kid).

@lonewolf
 
Pretty sure kids prefer having multiple channels with nothing but (in their opinion) solid cartoons/kids programming. I’m almost certain 80s you would prefer that as well over 5 hours of cartoons once a week.

Crude oil train derails in Washington.  
This is in the same area where a couple of tree humping anarchists were recently busted for messing with the tracks, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the result of copycats.
