A gunman armed with an assault-style rifle walked into a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper on Monday evening and began firing, killing a New York City police officer, fatally shooting three other people and critically wounding a fifth before killing himself, officials said.

New York City, since it wasn't clear from the headline/summary.

Nobody better start poisoning pigeons at his funeral.

Feels like most high quality results are on printables these days. Thingiverse used to be the go-to so they've got a lot of models from the early days, so it's worth checking.

Makerworld seems to be drawing a lot of the newer crowd due to their huge sponsorship push on influencers, so they have a growing audience as well.

If you're looking for a functional part (not strictly art or models) it's probably on one of those three.

They originally showed items hosted anywhere and free first, but once people got used to it they changed all the defaults. If you go there now and search, you have to manually set the source or it only shows you results from thangs itself, and pushes paid models and memberships to the top.

I only use it as a last resort now, and it's typically pretty bad.

Nah, I briefly thought so, but their search shenanigans are trying to push people to only use their site.

They push paid designs and memberships hosted on thangs to the top, and default search to Thangs only.

They originally showed items hosted anywhere and free first, but once people got used to it they changed all the defaults. It's a big bait and switch.

Homemade plain pancakes are fine as long as you don't overdo it. Too much sugar is bad for people and dogs.

As long as you mostly avoid anything with those ingredients, a dog can pretty much eat anything a person can. For thousands of years, dogs lived almost exclusively on people food leftover scraps.

That being said, most dogs are a pretty pain diet, and quickly changing to a different diet can cause stomach issues, so keep the table scraps very light until you know how they'll react.

Also, since we keep dogs inside these days, teaching your dog that they usually get table scraps can cause them to become a nuisance while eating, so don't neglect proper behavior training.

Not exactly true, yes if the debris is bad enough and the current is strong enough, there isn't a lot that will help. BUT if you have a life jacket, even in swiftly moving water, you can lean back and orient your feet downstream and it'll keep your head away from the worst of it.

That would be significantly harder to do without a PFD.

Fun fact, if Maxwell is pardoned, she can no longer plead the 5th.

If she's not at risk of prison for her testimony, she can be compelled to testify. If she doesn't testify, she can be jailed indefinitely, fined, or any other punishment (within reason) the judge decides is until she gives the full, honest truth.

He's more at risk if she is pardoned than if she isn't.

I think the original intent of the meme is that a nurse or a CNA would be cleaning up after their bowel movement.

But these people are clearly mobile enough that they can certainly use the bathroom by themselves, and the way they're looking at each other it kind of gives a different vibe.

Edit: dammit, I said no questions!!!

I choose to read this as a sex meme. I will take no questions.

Find your local news sources, whatever they are, and add ALL of them. You can usually filter by local news so you don't get a bunch or repeat national/international news.

Aside from that - this is a decent list to start from.
