I posted several about Billy Mitchell and Todd Rogers a few months ago, when Apollo Legend was systematically tearing down Todd's records. I love this type of schadenfreude.

Its been a slow burn but he's been completely definitively outed as a fraud and watching him try to defend himself and hold onto his delusional celebrity is pretty wild.

I hate outing myself as a cog in the machine, but I work in corrections (albeit in IT). Solitary confinement rules apply to everyone in the area, regardless of the actual reasons for their confinement.

We frequently hear stories about children being moved to adult prisons due to overcrowding or during periods of repairs (usually caused by riots) and having to be put into solitary as they can't be housed elsewhere - same with 'high profile' prisoners (celebrities or media attention around their cases or crimes such as child murderers). Mentally ill inmates being housed in solitary while they are awaiting transfer to a mental health facility that hasn't got beds, or awaiting release into a community support centre specifically for the mentally ill or disabled at the end of their sentence when there's no spaces. This can occur for weeks or even months on end, regardless of the actual crimes they committed outside or infractions within the prison.

23 hour lockup, 1 hour exercise, SFA human contact, proven impacts upon the mental health and stability of those put in solitary. It really is a hosed punishment and it's very much in the news around the world about the hugely negative impacts it has long after release. It's not fun, and it's probably not over-hyped to say that he's suffering.

Whether that is an appropriate punishment for any crimes he's committed isn't up to me to say, as I don't quite understand what he's on the block for.

Initial indictment: conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts, being an unregistered agent of foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, and false statements.

Charges added last month: witness tampering and obstruction of justice, which are what got his bail revoked.

It’s hard to feel sympathy for him considering that he was on house arrest, and still would be if he wasn’t actively trying to get into contact with witnesses. None of this would be happening to him if he weren’t a moron with zero respect for the law.

The girl's father uses magic to transform her and the dog into some grotesque chimera creature in an attempt to prove a point. I think. I've only heard it explained to me. The girl-dog hybrid is later euthanized because every second living is torturous agony.

Dude's on the payroll because he made a chimera once. He's gonna get fired if he doesn't do it again.

Yeah, water+alcohol mixtures burn with a relatively low-temperature flame, since their combustion doesn't produce all that much heat compared to the amount of heat that it takes to vaporize more fuel and keep the fire going. Enough that you can light your hands/booze/face on fire and not get horribly scarred, as long as you put out the fire before too long.


Compared to, say, lighter fluid which let's just say that was a very schaderrific lesson in why not to refill a lighter while drunk and also how not to get spilled ronsonol off your hands. At least not if you don't like first-degree burns.

I'd add a bit to this explanation. To do the trick, you first dip the dollar in water, then dip in rubbing alcohol. There ends up being a soaked-in-water dollar with a thin layer of high-proof alcohol. The alcohol burns easily and at a high temperature, but as you say the heat required to vaporize the water from the dollar is greater.

Also, my 2nd year teaching I taught a cute 1st year teacher this as a science safety demo. She tried it on her own with my equipment before showing the students, made the same initial mistake from the gif, but she was able to extinguish my beaker of alcohol instead of spreading it all over. We got married 4 years later :3:

She bought a replacement, which wasn't really necessary (we had plenty) but that means we got to keep the momento:
