As someone experienced in both the creation and detonation of explosive devices I feel like it's important to add: For the love of god and all that's holy DO NOT try and make nitroglycerine. The commenter glossed by it but nitro is volatile in both the manufacturing and finished product stage being both heat and shock sensitive alongside decomposing fairly quickly into unstable byproducts when stored for extended periods of time (just like how dynamite/tnt can start to sweat explosive crystals if left long term) Worse, if you mess up you won't even have enough time to realise your mistake as its a powerful high pressure explosive many times more potent than black powder. If you're determined to screw around with explosives just stick to black powder or salavaged firework powder. Makes a satisfying boom and you can blow things up but far less likely to end you without warning (BP is safe to handle unless exposed to ignition) Or how about something more educational and productive but still explosive: model rocketry. Solid rocket fuel is simple to make and unlikely to cause any real damage and can spark an interest in rocketry as a whole and the career element around it. TLDR: Nitroglycerine= BAD, will kill you because you don't know what you are doing. other explosives= good, much safer.
Two different anatomy professors dropped a very random insert about the lethality of execution by shot to the nape of the neck in a lecture. I visited the same lecture two years in a row since I had no other lectures at the time. The one time it was done by the usual prof. The other time by a colleague. Either he left instructions to include this fact or they both have the same sense of what gets students attention. Because that it did definitely make people look up from whatever they were doing while listening. Even the ones engrossed in random books, a online shopping spree or back row talking were snapped back into listening. But yeah. A lot of knowledge that most people would think of as suspicious and morbid is just basic anatomy and physiology. While the books do name vital parts as something to look out for, it doesn't take a master mind to reverse engineer what to attack to kill a person.
I'm guessing at this point that Rufus Stories and Rufus Tales will no longer be updated. I'm guessing it has something to do with the holy and ridiculously capricious YT rules (of course) but the reasons aren't really apparent. A shame if this is the case.
The United States Marine Corps invented the gender reveal and threw the first gender-reveal party ever, and it was to celebrate the most famous war horse in American history, Sergeant Reckless (the horse was officially ranked as a sergeant and treated as one), having given birth to a colt (boy horse).
@@nicholascasey6473 I already knew the basics about Sergeant Reckless through my great uncle - he served in the Corps, and his best friend was one of her caretakers (not the one who inadvertently set off the chain reaction that led to creating the gender reveal) - but the gender reveal thing, yeah, I first learned that from TFE, which I was able to later verify for myself.
The oldest missing persons case in the US (afaik) is a man named Nimrod Johnson Miller, who went missing in September of 1881 in “Indian Territory”, modern day Oklahoma. He was a sheriff who was tracking a murder suspect and was apparently shot with arrows and beaten, then dumped. He left behind a wife and seven kids.
1: the j in oppenheimer's full name stands for julius 2: the moonlandings could not be faked because most of the required technology was not invented at that time, and what the US did have was to expensive. not only that, but they would have had to keep every other country in the world quiet, including the US's opponents in the space race: russians 3: christmas was originally a pagan holiday named yule. it only became a christian holiday as a comprimise with the church who made it about jesus's birth, of which the actual date is unknown 4: the US tried to make a bomb containing bats with explosives in them, but the project was canceled because the bats would not be combat ready until mid 1945 5: the US also tried to make a powerful stinking formula called the "who, me?", with the purpose of making the japanese forces stink so much that they were to embaresed to fight. this project was canceled in favor of the nuke
Whenever anyone knows the age of consent in any location. Why do you know that. Why did you want to know that. Why did you memorize it. All I know is that it’s 18 no matter what you can’t make me think otherwise.

BINGO. But hey, be ready for a comeback!
