Officers are reporting that they may not have the second suspect now. Seems weird that something like that could be unclear...

According to reddit, the feds are there now and one suspect is en route to the hospital. Not sure if that guy is in Boston and has his own police scanner...

Sounds like 1 suspect is in custody and another is down but not in custody yet. They are checking out a possible bomb at the site though (robot etc is coming). *edit* you beat me to it Also, it's weird to hear chatter about random other things happening in Boston while this is underway.

What channel? I don't see anything.

I caught him saying that while checking the TV for a broadcast about it, but didn't hear his full statement. Was that a suspect description?

The cops just confirmed that they stole a state police SUV. Another officer is down. How is this shit not on the news yet?

They just said they have explosives of some sort. Loud explosions heard by cops.

Yeah, the suspect is a black male who shot a cop and stole his gun before running away.

There are two smaller silos just north (left, from the camera's perspective) of the main one. It'd be nice if the gif was slowed down a bit more. I'd do it myself, but I don't have the Adobe suite anymore.

It was bad enough that it will share the spotlight for a while, but big accidents don't have the same staying power in the news as terrorist attacks. Nobody has to worry about that plant blowing them up when they are going to work tomorrow.

Looks closer to 200 yards. Most people would probably assume they were safe at that distance.

That's pretty crazy. There were a bunch of houses in range as well as the nursing home that someone mentioned. Here's where the guy seems to be. The yellow dot is the truck's location (school parking lot), and the red dot is the explosion site: ...and here's an overlay to show parts of...

Nah, healthy living trees are much tougher than legs. Small trees like that would flex with the blast and the shrapnel would just make small gouges in it.

I really wish I could find the picture I saw earlier. It was not long after the blast (people were still cowering in the doorway) and you could see everything very clearly.

He's planning on marrying Rodman so he can become a US citizen and rub it in our faces.

The second explosion wasn't as big as the first, and the explosions themselves weren't that powerful. The picture isn't detailed enough to see if there are dents in the mailbox or small gouges in the tree. With something like a pressure cooker as a vessel, I'd imagine the first point of failure...

If you read the article he linked to, it states that there is no sign of the bag in the second photo. They have a copy without the blur, so you basically just have to believe them. It also mentions that the second picture was taken a long time after the first, so the bag might have been moved...

Pretty much this. I sat out for the 360/PS3 generation, but I am planning on buying a console this time around. It won't be the Xbox if the always-online thing stands. I don't buy PC games that require a constant internet connection (barring games where it's necessary like MMOs), and I sure...

...or they could just get Backtrack 5/Kali Linux.

40 second skip protection was amazing. Mine was only 20 seconds - not quite enough to never skip, but it was pretty rare. I remember the rich kid at my lunch table showing off his MiniDisc player all the time. Even when it was the "best", it wasn't very impressive.

Have you done this? Does it really make that much of a difference?

I've spent a dollar on much worse things than the lottery, so I don't mind buying a ticket when the jackpot gets up to 200m+. It's worth it for the entertainment value of discussing what you'd do with your winnings. Also, more in line with the thread: The main thing I'd want to do is travel.

If you know where they are, you can usually soften them up with a grenade/rocket. The other option is to use the explosives to create a new entrance where your guys aren't at a height disadvantage.

Thanks for all the responses. For those who chose the Kindle: The one issue I noticed with the Kindle was the lack of a good way to go back/home. Sometimes there's a little icon on the side, sometimes there's a bar, and sometimes we just had to tap the middle of the screen to bring up menus...

My grandma is going to start chemotherapy soon, so we decided to get her a tablet to pass the time. She likes reading books/newspapers, simple games (sudoku, crosswords, card/casino games) and extremely basic web browsing. We were looking at the demo units in Best Buy today, and it seemed like...

My sister's dog on Christmas. I'm not sure if he's sad because of the sweater or all the wrapping paper laying around (he's afraid of everything). I would've reshot this if I noticed that I chopped off part of his paw, but it's too late now. It might've been a good idea to set it up so the...

For the macro shots, I sat down on the ground next to some flowers/bushes with a cheap 70-200mm non-macro lens and manually focused on the bugs when they landed near me (it's impossible to autofocus on the right spot when the bugs are moving around and the DOF is so shallow). I really like...

For those of you who don't check slickdeals as mentioned, Meijer is selling Amazon gift cards for 20% off right now (in store only). You can grab a coupon in the store ($10 off of a single $49.97 item) or do the Meijer electronic coupon thing which makes it much easier if you're getting a lot of...

Okay, here are some pictures from my first outing with a DSLR: Random guy jumping off of a small ledge at the top of a steep sand dune: Some flowers. It's not perfect, but I kind of like how it came out. Two closeups of bees... I like macro-style shots (these were taken with a...

Sorry about that - I took your comment in the original post as "none of these are significant" rather than "the random bokeh ones aren't significant". I think the way you processed the picture was fine - I like a little more contrast, but that's just a personal preference. As for the...

The B&Ws could use a bit more contrast. The fact that the composition is so bad makes the lack of contrast seem worse than it might have otherwise been though. Put up a B&W with content that you like and it'll be easier to judge.

In addition to the general pace of the combat, there are a few things worth pointing out about the first battle in the quest/combat video: - The player was level 15 and fighting level 8 creatures - It took about 1 minute to kill them - Her spells were interrupted kind of a lot - She used 1/2...

Merely coping with these powerful feelings is not the answer. It's obvious that there's something to them - you need real answers. The best course of action is to stalk Michelle and confront her with your feelings. You should probably do it in a restaurant since it's harder for her to get away...

What type of database are you querying?

That's why I usually fall back on (g)awk when things involve multiple lines. Sed can do it, but it gets ugly really fast.

After reading a lot about cooking sous vide and reading through the Modernist Cuisine at Home book, I'm tempting myself to get one of the PolyScience Creative immersion circulators. I know that there are a number of foodies here, so I'm curious: Do any of you have a PolyScience circulator (any...

Crazy people using cat for no reason... Also, your regex will erroneously modify lines if there's a string like ': (ReferenceObject' anywhere in a non-reference object block. Probably better to only look for spaces and tabs before the colon. Getting the spaces before the ReferenceObject colon...

It's weird that Evelys didn't realize that hosting the forums basically guaranteed his outing, but I don't really care that much. He's a better poster than a lot of other people throughout the years and I'm sure he has some amusing/awkward stories to tell about his time undercover, so I think he...
