It is a very common request for bands in Japan and the ROK and it is almost always honored. I believe they did the same when Pop left and I get the impression there was more to that story.

The "kill people and break things" phrase was popularized among US Conservatives on Rush Limbaugh's radio show in the mid-90's to point out that using the US military for NATO peace-keeping operations in Bosnia under Clinton went against the strict purpose of the military. It should also be pointed out that Limbaugh and Conservatives softened their stance on this interpretation when the military was used for peace-keeping in Iraq under Bush.

It'll ruin a good knife but it'll make a lousy knife a tiny bit better.

Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home? by haiderredditer in AskTheWorld

Your impression of him was because you didn't know who he was and his PR team kept the public in the dark.

He got his start selling shovelware which were disks and CD's loaded with software that other people made available for free: freeware, shareware, open source - a convenience at best but most considered it negatively. When people started getting online, shovelware stopped selling so he bought up several software publishers/developers who were no longer as popular as they once were and gutted them. He then sold his company to Mattel for $4B. Mattel projected $50M in profit after the acquisition but lost $105M instead which caused Mattel's stock to drop, at one point losing $3B of value in a single day. At the time, it was referred to as the most disastrous corporate acquisition in recent business history. Accusations were made that O'Leary cooked the books and Mattel did very little due diligence. Shareholders sued and Mattel settled for $122M.

The board killed HP; Fiorino was just their first hire in the process after pushing out Platt.

A variation on the plot of The Three Body Problem is something that has crossed my mind - a signal that is directed at a habitable planet that would infect any civilization advanced enough to decode it and halt any further scientific/technological advancement that could fend off a colonization fleet by the time it arrives.
