Re:Welders set off Beirut blast while securing explosives

I’ve had a few traumatic experiences in my past and it hurt me big time to not open up and talk about my feelings. I became withdrawn for years and only recently started opening back up.
If you ever feel like you need to vent to a complete stranger absolutely free of judgement, I’m here for you. Shoot me a Private message. I’m lebanese by the way, living in the US.

I feel hurt by this comment. I’m Lebanese, and I can assure you a large swath of the population is traumatized from this incident and from decades of mismanagement and corruption.
Everything about your comment reeks of privilege and luxury.

How can such a plan exist? Or am I missing something?
Re:Intelligent, devoted, alien – parrots are unlike any other pet

My cousin and uncle bought a parrot together a few years ago. They absolutely loved it. My uncle would go out to get the mail with the thing on his shoulders every day. Then, about 2 years ago, my cousin passed away unexpectedly, and my uncle was heartbroken for the loss of his 26 year old son. Fast forward a couple of weeks, my uncle still is in mourning, but gets the courage to get the mail and return to a normal life. The bird was on his shoulders as usual. Out of nowhere, a hawk lunges at him and snatches him up from his shoulders. It all happened within an instant. The entire neighborhood must have heard his wailing. I shudder just to think about this unfolding.
For anyone with such pets, please don't drop your guard down, especially if you love your pet like a member of the family. Predators such as hawks and the occasional coyote or bobcat do roam cities and are closer to us than we're aware.
Re:The price of solar power just fell 50% in 16 months

Would you be able to share what company quoted you for $7k? I'm going to be getting quotes on a solar installation, and your quoted price seems rather good. Do you get to reuse parts of your old installation?
