Malthus

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane—Marcus Aurelius

"The first cephalopod known to burrow (other species dig into the seabed), the southern sand octopus creates its new home by jet spraying the soft sand with water and sliding its tentacles inside. It then pulls its body underneath the sand via its arms, leaving two tentacles breaching the surface in order to create a chimney to breathe. Finally, it excretes a layer of mucus to keep the walls of its burrow intact.

The sand octopus lives in its burrow during the day to avoid predators and emerges at night to hunt and feed."

I've read that it's a text-to-voice thing.  Those were the viewers trying to help.

Good grief.  I hope the due is okay.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Blankets only work if you're not using them to fan the flames.  That guy could figure out a way to spread the flames with the fire extinguisher.

Yeah, zero common sense.

I though an important point about dealing with little fires is to move other combustible material away from it? :unsure:

Not put more of that on top of the fire.
