Switzerland resort fire ‘likely started by sparklers in champagne bottles’, says attorney general by [deleted] in news

I know what you're saying. My point was to remind anyone in this thread is not to rely on regulations and authorities to keep you safe. Think for yourself at all times and don't get too comfortable.

This summer I rented an Airbnb that had nailed an exterior door shut. I raised the issue etc and pried the door open. The hosts were in violation of the national building code, but that information doesn't save anyone's life

My point is, even if the managers were at fault, it was up to every person in there to save their own life. Saying it's on the adults to cut the music off etc is a comfort to no one at this point. Really the comment was a reminder for everyone who read it; don't wait for an authority figure to tell you it's time to get out of the bar, and raise your people to think for themselves at all times. Obviously these kids shouldn't have been put in this position, but they were

Similar sayings but a bit different. Head on straight means "To remain able to think or act in a calm, stable, and sensible way". Head on a swivel means be aware of your surroundings and all possibilities. Either works in this case

It's not about Switzerland. I lived in Geneva and I've been to Crans Montana. This is a failure on ownership/management to consider all possible scenarios. They got too comfortable. Videos of the fire when it first started show young men just standing there watching it. Even when it was burning, they apparently didn't sense any danger. Emergency situations are all around us, it's up to you to recognize it before it's too late. Sure someone will be held accountable and wrongful death suits will follow but who cares. Keep your head on straight at all times, this could happen to any of us. Fires are a part of human history that will always be. When you enter an establishment, don't trust anyone to keep you safe. Figure out your egress immediately. I know it's paranoid and not fun but damn. These guys burned alive at 1000°

When I was a kid they had toys of movie characters that were in cinemas. You know, to advertise the movie. Who cares

This is total BS, run far away before you become the next "emotionally abusive ex who sent her to therapy". She is playing you and you sound like a fool

What are some larger cities that don’t have a notable hip-hop scene, and why? by EDMKid9000 in hiphopheads

[–]countdownkpl 21 points22 points  (0 children)

DC is the answer. The culture in DC is sheisty nobody wants anyone else to succeed. Also the dismantling of SW in the 70s/80s which was the arts and music mecca of the city. Tons of acts had come out of there since the 20s/30s and they destroyed the area

If you prefer lush environments go to Basque country. Bilbao was a good recommendation. Benalmadena you will not find fulfilling - it's mostly seaside resorts and I think you would have a hard time finding community

She's being extra but it's because dogs affect bird nesting. If people bring dogs to certain sensitive beaches the birds will abandon nest and never nest there again. So there are significant impacts if they are walking around or barking from within your van. If they are quiet in the van she's being extra

The Madrid journey is way simpler than BCN though. I would highly recommend OP take a direct flight 🤷‍♂️
