“God is not asleep.” says Donald, preferring instead to believe that the so-called omnipotent, omniscient entity supposedly responsible for the creation of space, time and the infinite majesty of entire universe is busily shuttling between Belfast and Glasgow to commit various acts of arson.

when it all turned black with only a little fire on the side it looked like a hole burning into reality
Why
This is demonstrating why you absolutely do not pour water on a grease fire.
holy shit
Okaaaay. If any of you actually have a grease fire in the kitchen put the lid on the pan. It will suffocate the flames. Don’t pour water on it, and don’t freak out. Cook safely!
Or throw flour on it to smother it.
/quick safety announcement
NO, DO NOT USE FLOUR, DO NOT USE FLOUR TO SMOTHER A FIRE.
YOU HAVE TO USE BAKING SODA.
Throwing flour into a fire can cause it to combust and make the fire worse because FLOUR/SUGAR IS FLAMMABLE. One cup of flour into a grease fire can have the explosive force of dynamite.
The reason you use baking soda is that it releases carbon dioxide when heated, and CO2 is a fire suppressant.
REBLOGGING FOR LAST COMMENT TO SAVE LIVES
can we talk about how this is from a tv-show called “do not try this at home” where they tested all sort of stuff you’re not supposed to do, but they only got four episodes because after this experiment they burned the house they were filming in to the ground.
Y’all, remember that Mythbusters episode where they dropped a can of chicken stock in a pot of frying oil just for shits’n’giggles? If you haven’t, I strongly suggest looking up the clip. Grease fires are something you absolutely do not fuck with.

Here’s the source by the way
His name is

Misinformation on hotels and pets during disasters
False information is going around stating that hotels/etc are required to accept household pets in an emergency evacuation under the ‘‘Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act of 2006,” or PETS Act.
It is incorrect to say that hotels must suspend their usual pet policies under this Act. The PETS Act is about FEMA, not hotels or businesses.
(Service animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act are already legally permitted in hotels and businesses, regardless of emergency status).
What does the PETS Act do?
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the PETS Act amends an existing act
“…to ensure that State and local emergency preparedness operational plans address the needs of individuals with household pets and service animals… The PETS Act authorizes FEMA to provide rescue, care, shelter, and essential needs for individuals with household pets and service animals, and to the household pets and animals themselves following a major disaster or emergency.”
The PETS Act is only triggered when a federal disaster declaration is made. The summary and the statute itself make no mention of businesses and hotels.
What resources ARE available to pet owners?
Many states and locales have made plans for pets and families with pets, in addition to the federal PETS Act. You check for those plans and laws at the Animal Law page on disasters by Michigan State University.
In California you can check out Governor’s Office of Emergency Services’ page on animals. You can also visit the California Animal Response Emergency System (CARES) page. You can find resources and check if your city/county has made plans involving pets.
Resources for families with pets are on the CARES site here. They include PDF brochures on multiple animal types. These brochures are useful beyond California.
Rather than fix the problems faced by residents Kensington & Chelsea council sent a threatening letter to the Grenfell Tower Action Group who highlighted the fire risk.
It is a truly terrifying thought but the Grenfell Action Group firmly believe that only a catastrophic event will expose the ineptitude and incompetence of our landlord, the KCTMO, and bring an end to the dangerous living conditions and neglect of health and safety legislation that they inflict upon their tenants and leaseholders. We believe that the KCTMO are an evil, unprincipled, mini-mafia who have no business to be charged with the responsibility of looking after the every day management of large scale social housing estates and that their sordid collusion with the RBKC Council is a recipe for a future major disaster.
In the last twenty years and despite the terrifying power surge incident in 2013 and recent fire at Adair Tower, the residents of Grenfell Tower have received no proper fire safety instructions from the KCTMO. Residents were informed by a temporary notice stuck in the lift and one announcement in a recent regeneration newsletter that they should remain in their flats in the event of fire. There are not and never have been any instructions posted in the Grenfell Tower noticeboard or on individual floor as to how residents should act in event of a fire. Anyone who witnessed the recent tower block fire at Shepherds Court, in nearby Shepherd’s Bush, will know that the advice to remain in our properties would have led to certain fatalities and we are calling on our landlord to re-consider the advice that they have so badly circulated.
“The Grenfell Action Group predict that it won’t be long before the words of this blog come back to haunt the KCTMO management and we will do everything in our power to ensure that those in authority know how long and how appallingly our landlord has ignored their responsibility to ensure the heath and safety of their tenants and leaseholders. They can’t say that they haven’t been warned!
Bastards. Blood on their hands.
punish the landlords big time and also improve building regulations goddamn
