I know this is probably a dumb question, but it is outside my experience or knowledge level.

When making simple pyrotechnics like an M80, is it important that the flash power fill the tube or be tightly compacted.

My experience is primarily from reloading and gun related fun. I tried to research fireworks, but I have found little information about how volume plays into perfy. I see commercial fireworks that are trying to appear like old school M80s, but there is no way the flash power fills the tube. What am I missing?

When I download a paper or widget, I expect a call from the vendor. I do not expect to be called by an obnoxious AI bot multiple days in a row.

If I ever would have considered his services, that ship has surely sailed. Clearly, he doesn't respect our time as much as he values his.

It is almost midnight, and I am watching the news from 10. I am watching the story about two you boys taken at gunpoint by older degenerates to be used to commit crimes on behalf of the older captors.

I don't know the family, but based on what has been shown on the news, the boys mom is a durable force. She was calm, thankful, and understandabo upset about the situation, but she still showed appreciation to OPD, which shows her character. Thankfully, these boys did all the right things. This wouldn't have happened without a rockstar mom. I suspect the boys extended support network also contributed to these boys making calm decisions.

Had one of my kids or grandkids been the victims, I don't believe I could have shown the same level of composure the mother of these boys showed. In the brief news coverage, I got a strong feeling these boys have a boss mom.

I own a small company, and unfortunately, we aren't in a good space to add staff. With that said, if our staffing situation was different, I would love to speak with the boys mom. I suspect she is cap of keeping her eyes on the prize and getting shit done. I may be a fan.

Moms are a force, and challenged moms are a nuclear force.

I hope the mother of these boys see my post and others. She may not do everything right, but who does? When the shit hit the fan, the boys were equipped with the skills to keep themselves alive.

This boss mom deserves our respect and prayers. Thank God two of Omaha's young guns are home safe.

I hope that if I am ever confronted with a situation of this magnitude, I compose myself with the courage and dignity of this mom.

I am heading to bed and wrote this post sleeping pill. Please forgive any spelling and grammar errors. I am not at my best, but I felt strongly that the mother of these boys and OPD deserved to be acknowledged and praised before I forgot.

A side bit of old man wisdom: Don't push momma bears, they are not to be trifled with. In my life, I pitty the dipshit that comes for my kids or grandkids. My wife, daughter are calm, kind and loving mothers, but if someone targets our babies, I will suspect I will need bail money or help hiding bodies, maybe both.

Above all, I celebrate these boys safe return and everyone that made it possible. After the last few days of senseless violence, Omaha needed a happy ending.

Praying all victims from this incident are safe and get the emotional and clinical support they may need.

I have a small insurance company that wants to add physical phones and asked if I had any opinions of Teams Phone service. The pricing looks competitive. This would be my first exposure to Teams phones, so I am feeling a bit out of my comfort zone. Can anyone share their thoughts, experence and or recommendations on the topic.

Just venting.

WTF? I swear they would be just as accurate if the flipped a coin. I can't recall a year where they have missed more.

6 pm weather no significant rain predicted in our area tonight. My dumb ass believed them.

$200 dollar tarp sitting in my truck because my dumb ass believed them.

Meanwhile, the hole in my back yard that should eventually be a pool is filling up with mudd and water, again.

To add insult to injury, we are 20 minutes west of Omaha and the local channels act like we don't exist. Omaha stations will cover a severe thunderstorm storm east of Omaha until it is squatting on Des Moines.
