A great collection of mug shots from New Zealand before official photographers and fingerprinting (hence the showing of hands as another way to identify unique elements).

Worth an interview that.Guessing real... London, Ontario has a bunch of things like this where, I think/assume, the city was faced with taking down a tree that was dying?

Can't see a sniper but I spotted the snow leopard
Something similar happened to us when we were teens. Lightning struck the TV tower, travelled down and jumped to an electrical box on the wall (maybe for our water softener?) that blew up and caused the floor of my brother’s bedroom to blast up. Luckily he wasn’t in his room at the time! Blew up the box that turned the tower too which was on the other side of the house from the tower.Kiwias wrote: Fri May 06, 2022 2:04 am It was not entertaining for my friend living in Denver on the third-floor of a third-storey building when lightning struck the roof. This is the lounge.
With the insurance, dad splurged for a digital satellite dish and scrapped the tower.
Imagine it was like this:

Shifty-eyed bugger. He looks exactly the type who'd steal your ferret when you weren't looking
Looks more like a baby catapault

'Yeet' is one of my favourite 'new' words...
https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-a ... nd-history
Yeet is a slang word that functions broadly with the meaning “to throw,” but is especially used to emphasize forcefulness and a lack of concern for the thing being thrown. (You don’t yeet something if you’re worried that it might break.)
I fully accept I've entered the 'grumpy old man' stage of life, but there's a perfectly good word for that: chuck.Guy Smiley wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 8:48 pm

And I'd say that people have used 'chuck' to emphasize forcefulness as well, but if you want to go with the above definition, then we also have hurl!verb: chuck
1.
throw (something) carelessly or casually.
"someone chucked a brick through the window"
"Learnings" has seemingly permeated top flight rugby and it causes me continual aggravation hearing it on telly. Again, we already have a word for it: "lesson(s)". But, no, rugby coaches and players are happy to say "We'll take learnings from this game...".verb: hurl
throw (an object) with great force.
"rioters hurled a brick through the windshield of a car"
