Citizen justice

I enjoy hearing about ordinary people who take the law into their own hands when the proper channels of law enforcement have fallen short or are unable to help. It happens a lot with burglaries and store robberies. Some stupid kid will pull a gun on a store manager or a seemingly easy target (like a senior citizen), only to get the gun taken away or a different one pointed back at them. It's not that the cops couldn't help in this situation; it's just that there isn't enough time. It's good to hear when people stand up for themselves and win.
But it's also interesting to see a person essentially go above the law to accomplish a task, forced to do so because the law just can't help. One example is the movie The Shooter, which I saw a few weeks ago. The main character is framed for committing a crime, and the people who frame him are high-ranking law enforcement and government officials. They bribe law enforcement and cover everything up, so the main character has no other options than to take matters into his own hands. It's fun to watch stuff like that succeed. #lifestyle

Toilet tank

I've been playing around in my toilet tank (not the bowl; the tank is where the fresh water is) a lot lately, and I've learned that it's really not all that bad. Toilets in general induce a negative reaction. Bad stuff goes in there. But the tank is generally harmless. It just holds water that pours into the toilet bowl when it's flushed. The water in the tank is as clean as the water coming out of the tap, so there's really no reason to fear it. #entertainment
