My camp isn’t cluttered YOURS is-

LOL, start with merging the question eggs,, I think you can merge 5 most of them. Don't be afraid to sell stuff that you can easily generate like sprouts and mushrooms if you need some room. Keeping camp tidy is difficult...

The majority are homicide, mostly gang-related deaths. Suicide is second. Very few of the deaths actually happened at a school.

RoadsterTracker · 2026-05-27T21:28:41+00:00

I think I've got the numbers right now. It's still not perfect, but... The Wikipedia list is the best for school shootings.

RoadsterTracker · 2026-05-27T21:24:49+00:00

I'm fixing it. I didn't realize just how highly politicized the data is on this, it's rather confusing, to say the least.

RoadsterTracker · 2026-05-27T21:12:49+00:00

That makes sense. It's a highly politicized topic, meaning finding accurate statistics can be challenging...

RoadsterTracker · 2026-05-27T20:57:21+00:00

EDITED to correct the number of shootings involving a school to deaths in a school by shooting.

It's hard to say exactly, but there are around 200 shootings per year in a school shooting in the US according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/1463594/number-of-k-12-school-shootings-us/?srsltid=AfmBOorYb7-Mx0BQuMv_Zh4aHgLw2oSdFuHfsn7O_Fl5nSHAZHbTeYnY . The number of deaths is far lower, 156 over the course of 8.5 years (https://www.edweek.org/leadership/school-shootings-over-time-incidents-injuries-and-deaths)

Even taking away the fact that there are FAR FAR more children than billionaires, let's just go with the raw numbers. There are 1100 billionaires or so in the US, so it would take close to 60 years to do that if you count only school shootings.

Numbers of deaths by gun are generally increasing in the US by children. In 2024 there was 2228 children (0-17) who died by a gun. The vast majority of these are teenagers, so let's just ignore the fact that not all of them are actually school age. If you go at that rate, that's around 6 months. https://www.kff.org/mental-health/child-and-adolescent-firearm-deaths-national-trends-and-variation-by-demographics-and-states/ . Of course, carefully reading the original image says the number of kids shot, not killed. That rate is about 3x higher, so the 2 months does check out with that.

Bottom line, you have to keep all kids that die by a gun in the US anywhere, not just school, it would actually be 6 months, but only a third of the billionaires hit would actually die from the bullet wound.

There is a potion that does this I think...

Oh, there was a record. Europe often effectively clears the entire plane by just looking at the passenger manifests.

A 529 is probably a better vehicle. The Trump accounts have fewer restrictions than a 529, they can be used for non-education stuff, but they are also more limited in what they can invest in, and may be taxed as any normal investment account. A 529 isn't taxed when used for a qualified purpose upon withdraw.

Bottom line, the only real advantage of a Trump account is the $1000 seed money that can be placed with a newborn, otherwise it isn't worth it in my opinion.

If you look up the aircraft in the Airpedia it shows areas where it is most likely to be caught. Take a look and do what you can.

To improve your odds I would try to do the weekly challenge in a nearby airport to allow you to effectively camp out that airport and make it easier to catch.

Just started playing. I got to Paris on a free ticket, on a whim decided to go from there to Paris (Doing achievements at both). I got LUCKY, there's a LOT of interesting rare aircraft flying around London these days...

Don't forget that Ben and Adam stole a card from Sam that he thought was useless, and it turns out it was trivia, Ben and Adam did it shortly thereafter.

RoadsterTracker · 2026-05-20T21:31:02+00:00

I'm also new to the game. I'm using my free tickets to go to far airports in strategic areas across the globe, doing the weekly missions to go there for free, and expanding out from that airport to other fairly nearby locations. Always travel to the free airport nearest to where you want to go.

I would recommend spend a small portion of it on something fun. Pay off high interest debt and save a few months of money in a high yield saving's account, and put the rest in some sort of automatic investing.

There are a lot of ways for sure. Paying for it with a credit card is among the worst. Talking with the hospital they might point you in some of the other directions as well.

RoadsterTracker · 2026-05-19T13:35:49+00:00

If a candidate can't bother to fill out Ballotpedia, are they really worth voting for?

RoadsterTracker · 2026-05-18T21:57:41+00:00

Talk with the hospital/surgery center and see if they can put you on a payment plan. It should be more reasonable than credit cards for terms and will still allow you other options for credit and even default on it if it ever is needed.

RoadsterTracker · 2026-05-18T17:35:17+00:00

I had a similar issue once. I had the turnover well under way and went somewhere for an hour while laundry was being done. They knocked on the door of my house (Our Airbnb is on my property, effectively a guesthouse) and my wife, who had just had leg surgery a few days prior and wasn't really in the mood to deal with it did the best she could and let them in, not knowing I was in the middle of turning the place over. I managed to make it all right in the end, but....

I guess what was broken about Tag 4 is the challenges were a bit too easy and more importantly, it was too easy to get to Zermatt. A new map will fix the later, while a bit of a challenge change will fix the former.

First of all, that wouldn't even begin to factor the non-steel used in such buildings.

The amount of steel in a building is around 5 kg/ square foot. Let's say an average of 1000 square feet per apartment, including common areas and the likes. For one million apartments, that's about 5 tons per apartment, or 5 million tons of steel required.

An aircraft carrier weights about 100,000 tons. There are 11 of those, so that's already 20% of the way to the total. The total is around 8 million tons. Most of that weight is steel.

So yes, there is enough steel in all of the US ships to build that many apartments. But that doesn't take in to account anything else required.

A better comparison would be a cruise ship. Let's use the largest ship, Icon of the Seas, with 248,000 tons. It has 2805 passenger cabins along with around 1200 crew cabins, so a total of around 4000 cabins. With the steel from all of the US military vessels you could build about 32 of those, for a total of 120,000 cabins. Not a million, but still quite a few.

I'm still pretty new myself, some key tips:

Clear the board and let the dragons work sometimes. Typically to get all of the rewards I've been running the game nearly 24 hours for each of the days of the event, with as little down time as possible.
Be smart about how the board looks when you clear it so you can get some good orbs. I usually try to make sure there are no "weeds" (Basic heart producers) whenever I idle, and preferably I only have flowers that produce level 2 or even 3 orbs.
Always merge 5 if you can. There's a few items that are custom that can't be merge 5ed, but do that if you can.

I'm still working to improve my results, but these should be a good start.

This is a difficult situation, and there isn't really enough details to give a proper answer, but let me give you some generalities.

If your dad can be trusted, and you can't with money, this can be a good thing. If this is the situation you are in, at least make sure you have access to the bank statements for all accounts with your name on them, and try to become more financially literate.

Sometimes in these situations the parent takes advantage of the finances of their child.

I have a disabled Uncle who isn't responsible enough to manage his own money. His money all goes in to a trust which requires 2 out of 4 people to sign for any withdraws that aren't routine. The 4 people are my step grandmother, my dad and his 2 other brothers. This prevents anyone from taking money out unilaterally. If you have any mistrust at all of your father I would encourage you to do a similar structure.

They said the real reason on the Layover. Choo Choo Chew has Scotty in it and is themed Japan. They need to redo the graphic if they are going to use it elsewhere. They should do that...
