I guess you're right. The guy was just a total idiot.

We were not MP's either, just some fellow shipmate's given verbal orders handed down from the CO (god, the s-bird we escorted mouthed off the XO, was give brig time on the ship with old Navy bread and water and was kicked off the ship at the next port for a trip back to the US).

North Korea has decided to expel Travis King, a US soldier who has been detained after "illegally intruding" into the country by running across the inter-Korean border in July, state media said Wednesday.

 

So they decided he was such an idiot that they didn't want him either...

 

It must be sad not to qualify even for useful idiot.

Any indication of whether it was an EV battery fire? That would be my guess, but there are other possibilities, too.

"Andrew Hopkinson, chief fire officer at Bedfordshire Fire & Rescue Service, previously told the media: 'We have no intelligence at this stage to suggest that this was anything other than an accidental fire that started in one of the vehicles that had not long arrived at the airport. It was not an EV. This was a diesel powered vehicle.'"

Diesel? ... Diesel takes quite a bit of temperature in order to ignite ... that IS strange

That's what I thought.. . but Rome was getting so famous for its buses catching fire that terrorists stopped putting bombs on them/

LOL ... another thing about Diesel, is that it's not easy to put down once it starts burning

Thanks.

I had a Jeep that caught fire (at -20°F) because of a transmission fire. The gas tank was never involved, but the engine compartment and the front half of the passenger compartment were completely engulfed with the fire department finally arrived -- plenty of flammable stuff around to feed a fire without needing any gas (or diesel). Who knows what would have happened eventually if they hadn't gotten there. From the time I had to pull over because the tranny finally failed until there was any externally visible indication of a fire was about ten minutes. When I pulled over I popped the hood and so a small fire down on the side of the tranny, but as I didn't have a fire extinguisher with me (or anything else that was suitable), I closed the hood and called 911. I then pulled out all of my luggage (I was headed to the airport) and stood about fifty years yards away while I waited for the fire department.

So, yeah, I can imagine something happening to a vehicle that results in a fire and the driver not being aware of it before they parked and left. My car was acting strangely for quite a few miles before it finally lost power to the wheels, so if I had happened to be much closer to the airport, I could see me parking it and heading inside for my flight and then a few minutes later the thing going up in flames in the garage.

 

and stood about fifty years away while I waited for the fire department.

A time travel incident?

 

A time travel incident?

At the temperature that morning, it sure felt more like 50 years than 50 yards.

University of Washington discovers ‘surprise’ alcohol and caffeine impact on sleep

However, researchers discovered when the participants drank both caffeine and alcohol, the negative impacts each have on sleep were offset.

“Compared to the nights when you might have one or the other, we thought we were going to see additional decline in subjective sleep quality or sleep duration,” Song said. “But actually, that interaction effect was the opposite of what we expected and ended up having an effect of offsetting each other’s negative impact on quality or quantity. And this was very intriguing to us.”
