Reply to TIFU by telling my young daughter that she had a feral sister who lived in a cage in the attic. by jesseberdinka
I did something similar - the story was an older brother, Eric, who my wife and I gave away because he misbehaved. This was a fun party trick when people would compliment me on how well behaved our children were. I’d tell one of my kids to explain why they were polite and they would reply they didn’t want to be Eric and be given away.
Fast forward years - and I stopped using the joke because they kids were now in college. My oldest’s psych teacher offered (privately) her counseling options after a class discussion on handling children with behavioral issues.

Reply to comment by PasswordisP4ssword in TIL In 1983, Air Force One (with Reagan aboard) landed six minutes before a microburst slammed into the ground at Andrews Air Force Base, causing wind speeds to hit 149 mph. At the time, that was the fastest wind speed ever measured by an anemometer. by theotherbogart
That caused me pause too. Perhaps the article was referring to a stereotypical anemometer with spinning cups, versus Mt Wash’s hot wire anemometer.

We would bring in companies to do a social engineering audit. The auditors would drop a few USB sticks in the parking lots and lounge areas to see who would plug them into company computers. After we had training classes to not plug them in, 3/10 still did it.
