  • Serial killers skew white

    This is one of those times where racism strikes again. Serial killers also skew towards killing those like them, so guess what was ignored for a long time? Right, suspicious deaths of black individuals, meaning our ‘tracking’ of serial killers had some pretty large dearths.


  • Depends on where you are. I’m a stone’s throw from the ambulance. I can quite literally see it out my back window. Most people in the city I live in will see an ambulance within 10 minutes of the call. Contrast that with where I lived a couple of years ago, and 45 minutes might be the earliest, and up to 90 minutes at the most. We had one ambulance for ~20,000 people in a 1,000 square mile area. If ambulance one was called out, a second ambulance was rolled from the next area over to just the edge of ours. I’d say that situation was pretty typical for 5-10% of the people in my greater geographical area, i.e., if you lived outside of a big city.
















  • Had the exact same thought. My visit to san fran was hilarious, because looking across the bay, you could see the sunshine on the north side, while the south was blanketed in light mist and fog. Our brief visit to the north side to see the muir woods was the exact opposite: sitting in sunshine while looking at a dreary, shrouded place across the water.
