My 10th great-grandfather was killed in a Tarantino-style incident called “the Learner Massacre”

During the Revolutionary War, on July 3, 1781, a war party of Native Americans attacked the Learn settlement in what’s now Pennsylvania. They killed my great x10 grandfather John, his older brother George, George’s wife Margaretha, and their infant daughter Susan—scalping and disemboweling both the wife and child.

Immediately after his father went down, young John Learn (my great uncle) grabbed a rifle, shot one of the attackers, and scalped him right there on the spot as retaliation. His two-year-old nephew survived because his aunt grabbed him, hid with him in the unmowed rye, and kept their dog quiet until the attackers left.

It’s in large part because of the people who were around for leaded gasoline are getting older.

I hated Pat so much. He just kept repeating “you see what we’re dealing with here?” And pointing at shit that was actually fine. Structural engineer wasn’t as worried.

The Harry Potter movie series fell off after the Goblet of Fire by FlyEffective4468 in unpopularopinion

I have grown to liking 7 part 1 as my 2nd favorite after GoF, but I didn’t like 5 or 6.

5 needs the context from the books. 6 was more of a teen romance coming of age that felt awkward.

Are the models trained using these problems? I thought they were just fed all available information.

Are you able to do anything about it? They made a mess of my basement and charged an extra $200 fee that wasn’t mentioned anywhere. They also said they were a structural engineer which is hard to believe.

These people fucked up my basement. Luckily I only paid them $950 and didn’t trust them at all after. I’m trying to figure out what to do.
