So this just happened in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦. A driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of his vehicle, got upset at her, before leaving the scene

I was hit by a car from behind in my early twenties. I sprung up after the impact to look for the person I was walking with. I had a few scrapes and a deeper cut in my arm but nothing that I even noticed for a few minutes. The next day is when that kind of impact gets you. For weeks after, taking an elevator or riding a bus would hurt. It took months to take any running steps. I feel really bad for this girl, it's a big deal even if she's walked it off at the time.

I had this twice in the same day the other day. Was travelling, had cash to get rid of and the poor teenage cashiers these days can't wrap their brain around the concept at all cos they never had to. Both times I get a "this 20 is already enough" and I said I'm trying get rid of coins. I could watch their brain rebooting, give up, punch it in the till and then be really baffled when they hand me back a 10 euro note.

Personally, the customisability without the effort. You get a hundred bells and whistles to make your phone look and feel unique, things that stock android should really provide but doesn't.

I hear carrying beer in public isn't ok so it must be something more reasonable, like eggs, or handguns.

Yeah but how many 0s do you have before you get to the first 1? I've been working on it but still don't have a definite answer.

Rubio Admits That America Is Fighting Israel’s War
“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action,” Rubio explained. “We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces,... "
Why would that cause an attack against the US. Am I being daft or is that a huge reach?

Why Estonia's schools are abandoning teaching in Russian | Focus on Europe

Kids, when thrown into a new language environment, will learn it reasonably well in short order and can become perfectly fluent in a year, give or take. It really isn't such a big deal. Mind you, these aren't kids from halfway across the continent, they are kids born and raised in Estonia so it's not like they're starting from scratch.

Ohh it's my time to two up someone on the Internet. I broke mine playing hide and seek as a child, managed to trip over and squash it under my foot. Then again getting it caught on the edge of a gym floor mat. Then again stepping over my hockey bag. Still the only bone I've ever broken.
I joke that if it happens one more time I'll just have the damn thing lopped off.
