2-year-old Nevada boy dies from brain-eating amoeba after visit to hot spring

Amoebas thrive in hot water so our body’s habit of reacting to pathogens doesn’t hurt them at all. Once it’s lodged up your nose it just bulldozes it’’s way to your brain and starts eating.

Whenever I neti I first boil the water and then pour the still boiling liquid into my nose to melt my brain that way. The boil kills the ameobas AND my brain so there’s no chance for infection. You can also melt iron ores and pour them in your nose first to create a protective barrier from the brain.

The amoeba gets in your brain and fuck shit up you have to get warm, infected water waaay up your nose. If he wins then he gets to kill you. Try not to worry about it too much. And also boil the water for your neti pot for 10 mins.

Amaoeba are thought to have a part to play in Legionaires disease. Amoebas can exist anywhere the conditions are right. Disney closed "River Country" in Orlando.

NBCUniversal slapped with $250 fine in foliage flap at striking writers' picket line

Orange Is The New Black is allowed to fine for a first trimming without permit. This is the only violation under city ordinance, and is obvious - assessing this fine can be done promptly and without much deliberation.

The guy knocked before coming in, apologized for interrupting their daily jerking session. He kissed their ring, kisses the tip, placed it gently in the trash can and closed the door.

The fine is cheaper than the permit to remove the tree. The trees probably won't survive with how much they were butchered. If the trees do end up dying hopefully the city comes back and punishes them further.

Malaysia halts music festival after same-sex kiss by UK band The 1975

The Good Vibes Festival was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Matty Healy pulled a stunt at a music festival in Malaysia where the 1975 was one of the headliners. He was drunk and ranting about really random things before he pulled the stunt.

The thing that triggers me so hard is to see the support he's getting from other foreigners who don't understand the situation in Malaysia right now.

The Sunnah is a continuing scourge on humankind. It is the Sunnah.

Mercurylax: Many of us have gone to jail or been detained doing so. He says we will use this to push more laws against us and international entertainment. Washington pushed for incremental change that occurred naturally without rocking the boat, while Dubois encouraged open and defiant demands for equality.

Mega Millions jackpot grows to $820 million after no big winners

Cali has the highest population so it will get a proportional share of winners. Maybe there's something about Californians that make them play more often. Also could be it is a rich state, so people buy more than one ticket.

I bought a ticket...and didn't win. wtf You should return it as defective.

Back when it was $500 million I was like "whatever" but now that it is $820 million I'm like "that is kinda a lot of money and I like money"

New Florida standards teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught useful skills

Christopher Columbus begged the Queen to fund the trip. The slaves were given a free block at the auction.

Those who argue that slavery wasn't that bad, they say. Conservatives chant that there's "nothing wrong with being white," as if society didn't endorse white people as their default player character. They have this stupid fucking victim complex and think that, really, they're the ones owed something because of the white man's burden.

John Brown did nothing wrong. Sherman did not.

Italy starts removing lesbian mothers' names from children's birth certificates | CNN

The prosecutor's office confirmed 27 mothers had been removed from 27 birth certificates. The effect of the move is to limit certain rights for the non-registered parent.

The general trend of Fascists winning elections has been happening when people sit out elections. Usually because of people spreading "Muh both sides best don'thing" accelerationism BS.

The PM should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church for having a child out of wedlock. So you know, that sucks and it's important that this shit be addressed. Yep. No reason to spend money there and support their economy and tax districts.

The LGBT community in Italy does not have rights to roll back. Italy's existing legistlation is way worse than this.

Oklahoma mother and her 3 children killed in murder-suicide during supervised visitation, police say

Josh Powell: Visitation is such a scary thing. It can tie victims to their abusers, or in this case, be an opportunity to kill and deny an ex and the world the lives of the children their murderer thinks they own. Powell: I hope someone didn’t make a mistake that allowed a madwoman access to her victims.

Brandy McCaslin, 39, was barricaded inside the home with a firearm. Police Chief Jack Shackelford told the Tulsa World that a woman went to the home to drop off one of the children.

US plans water heater standards, says they will save consumers $11 billion

A 5000 BTU air conditioner is mounted to the top of a water heater. The heater is in the garage, so it's hot as balls which helps. It's a good idea to install a drain pipe, which is going to be a big deal.

The price gap isn't really about the average consumer. The issue is building codes for initial Setup. It should have been illegal for my new home to have this old shit in it.

Water heaters should be easier to clean and maintain. Proper maintenance would make water heaters last years longer.

Hybrid will use heat pump unless it can't meet the temp requirements. Natural vent water heaters release more heat due to inefficiencies compared to power vent or condense.

DeSantis announces inquiry into Bud Light's parent company over partnership with trans influencer

AB InBev's president will be a mercy destruction. They'll sacrifice their firstborns, second borns, hand over their food, take the roof off their home, remove their own kidneys, and drink the Kool aid. The internet has on average created an informed younger electorate that won't buy their bullshit narrative.

The GOP is focusing on utterly pointless shit instead of real issues. It's ruining this country It really is. I'm not even American (I’m Canadian) but it does have a direct effect on Canada in many ways.

Desantis is suing Cooper & Kirk, a law firm that has raked in $5.9 million. He says the company is financially responsible for the boycott and the rest of the religious nutjobs called for against them. The company can then be sued for losing business? That is the precedent it would set.

MF is staring down the barrel of climate change and praying his base is dopey enough to blame trans people. He needs to distract people about how badly things have been going with Disney by pursuing the trend.

DeSantis accuses beverage company of not following its "fiduciary duty" to shareholders and pensioners by collaborating with Mulvaney. The beverage company paid a celebrity to promote their product. That's the extent of "pursuing a political agenda"

'It's especially sad to watch some of them look around and realize not even fellow conservatives are interested. Most of them don’t have that self-awareness, but every so often it creeps in. This is what happens when you create an entire identity around extremism based upon conspiracy.

Nebraska woman charged with disposing of fetus following illegal abortion sentenced to 90 days in jail

Aborting illegally in most states at 7 months is a legitimate criminal issue. With abortions now illegal at 6-24 weeks, you’re gonna get a shit ton of more late term abortions and abandoned babies.

She was in her 3rd trimester when this happened. I’m pro choice, but at that point she was carrying a baby.

The girl should have gotten a legal abortion before 20 weeks. Well now it is before 12 weeks, which isn’t a lot of time considering that 'one in three people learn they’re pregnant past six weeks’ gestation.

Dr. Lee was a staple in late 90s early 00s true crime. He and I would always say the word "blood" like Henry Lee did/does. "Bluh" made me giggle.

The sea otter harassing surfers off the California coast eludes capture as her fan club grows

The sea otter merely warned the surfers: "I care not what your 'vibe' is; I shall crush your skull like a clam on my tummy!"

The polar caps melt and sea levels rise 100 feet. It's a fucking film crew for shit's sake.

The otter was literally ripping arms off surfers. I wish SNL could do this skit right now.

'Mystery company' buys $800M worth of land near Travis AFB, raising concerns about national security

Denverton is an extinct town from 100 years ago with a population of 0. But then they don’t label Fairfield, Suisun, Vacaville lol You guys have a place called Cow Ville? Yeah and there a good number of cattle ranches in the area but it's not actually named after them.

Wikipedia says the "bath" it's named after is a natural spring that feeds into the area. It's probably "The Baths" not bathrooms, as in where water was available for bathing, washing, drinking, etc.

The U.S. government is paying 5-10x the fair market value of these properties. They are making up nonsensical reasons why they are doing it. The legal fees are not endless here and the District Court will see a pattern.

In the 1981 Poletown decision, the Michigan Supreme Court allowed the City of Detroit to bulldoze an entire neighborhood. The City didn’t even pretend that the community was “blighted,” it simply wanted the land based on GM’s promise of more jobs and taxes. Y’all need a land owner transparency registry:.

Garamendi says at least 10 landowners are being sued by Flannery, accused of being engaged in an illegal scheme to prevent the company from buying their land. He says they're claiming they lost profits on land they didn't buy. The American rule says you have to pay your own atty's fees.

The Supreme Court just ruled on a completely made up case. It's a legal theory that would result in absolute chaos if applied consistently. I feel like chaos is the only possible future.

‘We’re done with the cover-up’: UFO claims to get their day in Congress | UFOs

Aliens aren't just out there but visiting here. They'll try to convert them like in the South Park episode with Starvin’ Marvin and the Marklars. The Vatican will ask them if they know Jesus.

I think it's incredibly likely that some sort of intelligent life in the universe exists. I think some have discovered FTL/Intergalactic travel. But I don't think we've had contact because A) if our own history of colonialism and imperialism, we'd be under their boot.

Congress didn't make the videos and witnesses...probably.

Climate Records Tumble, Leaving Earth in Uncharted Territory

Climate responses to volcanic event suggest that it's pretty sensitive. The spread of European diseases in America's which collapsed populations and led to the re-forestation of two continents may have also prolonged the Little Ice Age.

"We still have time to secure a liveable future for many," says a U.S. economist. The French Revolution is not all of history, and the rich usually are totally fine in times of turmoil. Those in the hot areas already that can't get out are outright boned.

People are dying from exposure to intense heat, nothing is still being done. Grocery stores are unable to keep food stock of even the cheapest items. People are busy just trying to survive as it is, its not their fault.

Florida babysitter arrested after 10-month-old dies in hot car

The toddler wasn't discovered until the mother arrived around 1 p.m., local time. Diamond: "We have to accept that the human memory is flawed" He says parents lose awareness of their children when they are in a car.

The babysitter admitted to leaving the baby in the car initially because she didn't want to wake her up. That's not acceptable, no matter the reason she later forgot. A 10 month old is an infant, and even more helpless.

The child was left roughly between 8am to 1pm when the Mom got home. She was supposed to be actively watching a small child she should have been at least checking up every hour. That means she wasn’t checking up on the ten month old she was meant to be watching for five hours.

Seattle has more people than beds. People are fighting to keep single family housing and preventing multi-family housing.

The tree is on a development site where a single family home is being replaced with six housing units split between two parcels.

The real way to save the environment is to encourage multi family and other dense housing options. I submit that there has never been a greater disease of humanities destruction of the natural environment.

White nationalists convicted of planning to riot at Idaho pride event

The rioters are bankrolled and come in from out of state to make it seem like their movements have any kind of support or teeth. They project "secret anti-fa" agents as the cause of all troubles. Now they can communicate and congregate even though they're spread out.

The Texans are pathetic and further embarrassing you. The fucks who vote for Abbott deserve this and so much more pain.

The khakis really is the cherry on top of being total dorks Dockers for manly straight macho bros. They also like the crust cut off their ham and mayo sandwiches.

A lot of convictions for people who are supposed FBI agents according to certain redditors.
