![]() ![]() When Tim re-enters the room, he says, “We’ve been swatted. ![]() After an abrupt stop in the show, guest Brandon Tatum from The Officer Tatum YouTube channel asked, “Did somebody swat you?” Producer Lydia Smith then responded, “Yep, somebody swatted us.” Tim asked, “How do you know,” and Lydia replied, “I have somebody texting me.”Īt this point, Tim leaves the studio to talk to the officers as Rudkowski highlights how dangerous the situation could be: “That’s something that’s extremely dangerous, extremely reckless, because swat incidences have led to a lot of innocent people dying.” ![]() The incident occurred as co-host Luke Rudkowski was speaking about historical pandemics when he looked up and saw police walking around the studio. This is a large house used as a production studio with many employees on site Police were told not to enter without a warrant but said they didn't need one due to exigent circumstances. Someone called Police and said they shot and killed two people and were going to kill more He was told by police that they had received a call saying “two people had been shot and killed and that the gunman was threatening to hurt themselves.” I wouldn’t even be surprised if the 911 call came from inside his house.Tim Pool, host of Timcast IRL, was shocked to see police walking around his studio while recording a live show. I don’t know if you can trace 911 calls if the caller takes precautions to hide their identity. Unfortunately, I think most of these swatting incidents end up unsolved. I hope law enforcement finds out who placed the fake 911 call and they’re prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The man doesn’t even comprehend how a basic 911 call works. And some people actually value what he has to say about politics and current events. I read the above statement and actually laughed out loud when I read, “ The property owner did not give Law Enforcement permission to enter the address without a warrant.” Imagine thinking law enforcement needed to go to a judge to get a warrant before responding to a 911 call. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office takes “swatting” incidents seriously this incident remains under investigation. Upon completion of the check of the address, Deputies left the property. Given the exigent circumstances, a 911 call was made stating that two people had been shot and another was threatening suicide Deputies advised they were going to check and address and confirm the safety of the occupants.Ī check of the address was conducted, and they verified that no one was hurt or threatening suicide. The property owner did not give Law Enforcement permission to enter the address without a warrant. Upon arrival, Deputies were advised that a live stream podcast was currently being broadcast. A “swatting” incident is a false 911 call reporting a serious incident to elicit a significant response from police and other emergency services. While Deputies were still en route, a member of the Maryland State Police arrived at the property and advised the call could be a “swatting” incident. Multiple Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office and surrounding agencies responded to this incident. On Thursday, January 6, 2022, at approximately 8:15 PM, Deputies from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a property in the 19500 block of Keep Tryst Road, Knoxville, MD, for the report of two people having been shot and the suspect threatening suicide. Our local law enforcement released a media statement this morning about the incident. From the Washington County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page: Does he honestly think people don’t know he’s bald under that beanie? Tim Pool isn’t fooling anyone. Considering that it gets hotter than Satan’s armpit here in Maryland, I think wearing a beanie in August is dumb. Tim Pool is one of those guys who wears a beanie on his head 12 months a year, no matter the weather. I think he’s weird, and not in a good way. He and I both live in the same county in Maryland. ![]()

Before Superman broke the world’s laws, the futuristic city was captured by the supervillain Brainiac, who shrunk to within a few centimeters with his shrinking ray and placed inside a glass bell jar, according to Wikipedia. This city is located in Kandor (also known as the Bottle City of Kandor in DC Comics’ Superman comics) and is one of the fictional worlds untouched by the fate of Krypton.

It was closed for a month on March 19, 2011. The only thing that could have left the planet was Superman’s rocket. As a ship passes through a dense minefield, it would appear that it would be unable to navigate a spacecraft beyond its orbit. It is highly likely that a society as advanced as Krypton would have hundreds, if not thousands, of orbiting satellites. Superman is known as the Last Son of Karnak, the sole survivor of his homeworld, in the comics. In Superman’s story, he escaped from Krypton via the Kessler Syndrome. ![]() It’s a fast-paced and gripping read that will leave you wondering what could have been.Īccording to NASA scientist Donald Kessler, the Kessler Syndrome is a worst-case scenario that would effectively render a population of a planet extinct over the course of a century. It’s also a story that asks the question: what if Superman had never become a hero? If you’re a fan of Superman, or of Robinson’s previous work, then I highly recommend checking out Superman: Escape from Krypton. The novel is a fascinating look at a Superman who is not all-powerful, and who must rely on his own wit and resourcefulness to survive. Superman is forced to confront his own mortality as he struggles to survive on a planet that wants to kill him. But what if Superman had never made it to Earth? What if, instead of being the last son of Krypton, he was the only son? And what if his rocket had been damaged on its way to Earth, leaving him stranded on a hostile planet? In Superman: Escape from Krypton, a new novel by writer James Robinson, that’s exactly what happens. In the decades since, Superman has become one of the most popular and recognizable superheroes in the world. When Superman first appeared in the pages of Action Comics in 1938, he was portrayed as a powerful alien who came to Earth from the doomed planet Krypton. ![]() ![]() ![]() Garnish by topping with a sprinkle of parm, black pepper, grated parm, and minced chives.

This flexibility of options becomes a hindrance to new Anki users can be a drawback as well, where the complexity of setting up your deck can take time away from your actual studies. If you were to dig deeper into the options you get with Anki, you’d find a maddeningly complex system designed to accommodate an obsessive tinkerer, not a time-pressed student who just wants to remember the content.

While Anki is rightfully the standard for spaced repetition study, it’s very obviously an old standard. But it was revolutionary for a study tool at the time of its release more than 15 years ago. ![]() It’s reliable and has brought the idea of spaced repetition to the forefront.

ABS-equipped models with automatic transmissions come equipped with standard traction control. Antilock braking (ABS) is optional on the LS and LT and standard on the 2LT and SS. Most Cobalts have a front-disc/rear-drum brake setup SS models have performance-tuned four-wheel disc brakes. However, the rest of the buying public will likely be happier with one of the above alternatives.įull-length side curtain airbags are standard on all Cobalts. The lone exception to that would be the Cobalt SS coupe, which should be seriously considered by driving enthusiasts for its impressive performance. They also deliver comparable fuel economy and more driving enjoyment. This isn't the case with other compacts like the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Mazda 3 and Mitsubishi Lancer, as each bests the Cobalt in terms of interior and exterior styling, materials quality and construction. In general, you'll never escape the feeling that you're driving a cheap car. From the cramped rear seats to the liberal use of cheap and ill-fitting plastics, the look and feel of the Cobalt's cabin pales in comparison to the many choices in this segment. The interior tops our list of complaints. However, the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt is pretty much stuck with the same list of faults that the car had at its 2005 debut. The Cobalt also comes in sedan and coupe body styles and can be had in the genuinely fun-to-drive 260-horsepower SS trim level. The car's broad appeal stems from its affordable base price and respectable fuel economy - two pretty important things for an economy-minded car - as well as its smooth and quiet ride. In all probability, this is why the Cobalt returns this year with little or no improvements or added features.ĭespite being a carbon copy of last year's model, the 2010 Chevy Cobalt will still be a fairly popular model with consumers and rental fleets. Not surprisingly, Chevy's abandonment of the model has resulted in a halt to the Cobalt's development as well. If all goes according to plan, GM plans to replace its compact sedan with the all-new Cruze. Model year 2010 likely marks the end of the line for the Chevrolet Cobalt nameplate. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I feel Immersive Reader is a great tool for language learners of all ages.

Priming is not essential if you're not making a major color change. Prime the walls for a professional finish Make sure your walls are completely dry before moving on to the next step. Sand over any areas you've filled when dry and give those spots a final wipe down. High-gloss finishes are prone to chipping and require a lot of patience (at least two coats) and skill to get right. If you are after maximum wow, it could be worth the effort of the application. Gloss: Though not usually advised for walls, gloss paint is coming back into fashion, and the high-shine finish it provides can look very attractive in libraries, studies, and living rooms. It can be wiped down easily making it a good finish for high-traffic areas such as hallways and the stairs. Silk: Silk emulsion creates a mid-sheen finish that reflects some light for a polished look. You'll find many of these are the best paints for kitchens in particular. It is the perfect choice for disguising imperfections in the wall's surface and offers a very uniform finish for color. Matt and flat matt: As the name suggests, these offer a matt finish with no shine. ![]() If you are painting a very humid space, look for the best paints for bathrooms. ![]() Many claypaint manufacturers now offer special hard-wearing, washable paint options that can be used in kitchens. This can affect the breathability of a wall, so if this is important (for example if you live in a very old property with potential damp problems) choose a claypaint that allows the walls to breathe and water vapor to escape. This is water-based but may have vinyl or acrylic resin added for durability. The paint you use for walls is emulsion paint. As a rule, you will either use: matt, flat matt, or silk emulsion on walls. You'll then want to consider paint finishes.
