I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

iPhone Gun

I don't really understand the terrorist scare here. I can see that it might be a favourite in criminal circles but a terrorist isn't going to go for a gun with a two shot capacity...

Maryland school district worker fired after correcting student’s spelling in a tweet

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/school-district-employee-fired-after-correcting-students-spelling-in-a-tweet/2017/01/16/fd548bf2-dc29-11e6-acdf-14da832ae861_story.html?utm_term=.b36cb72c6d98

 :facepalm:

And as usual the media looks to put a particular slant to make something more newsworthy. 

From the very brief research I did it seems she was on probation, was instructed several times not to tweet using the official account. But she ignored those instructions and continued to tweet from the official account so her employment was terminated. In other words she was sacked for ignoring instructions, not for that particular tweet.  I guess that's not very newsworthy: "Worker ignored instructions so boss sacked her".

If you ignore a direct instruction from your boss then it shouldn't come as a surprise if your services are no longer required.

The Netherlands welcome President Trump. See how Dutch engineers outsmarted Mexico, and more, in this hilarious promotion video.
(Or: Dutch government announces: America first, with The Netherlands in second place).  :D
