Crazy News Stories

I often wish some of the tensions could be not so high. I haven’t traveled recently but makes me think twice about it. I have a lot of family back in China, only my parents and myself are here in the US. We are all US citizens and been here forever.

This is a break from the more out there and near vitriolic stuff that permeates this thread and instead give something more wholesome and lighthearted. Its honestly heartwarming to see someone still willing to learn even after they retired to go as far as a degree.

Thanks for this. I’m officially learning new stuff right now too. It’s daunting as I’m sure lots of the people learning with me are way younger. It really is never a better time than the present to pursue a dream. Helps a lot to see this man continue to beat the odds. I hope he gets to write that book - would love to read it. History and Philosophy: good stuff.

I’m 99.99% sure there is some written warning similar to “do not ingest” on the bottle. After that, you really can’t stop people from making bad decisions.

For some reason people seem really willing to put bad ideas in their mouths, right? Tide pods, cinnamon challenge, chubby bunny, fish tank cleaner.

I’m not sure. The article says they had a seizure and died but they could have vomited too.

I do remember that was for hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol. Probably for the same reason you mentioned. People see alcohol and put it in a drink.
