SPRINGFIELD — Multiple grocery stores and clinics in Springfield were forced to evacuate Wednesday due to bomb threats.

Springfield police confirmed with News Center 7 that two Walmarts, located on N. Bechtle Avenue and S. Tuttle Road, and one Kroger, located on E. Main Street, were evacuated because of bomb threats.

Pregnancy Resource Center of Clark County and Planned Parenthood in Springfield were also evacuated, police confirmed.

As reported on News Center 7 at 5:00, schools, universities, and city and county buildings have also received threats over the past week.

News Center 7 spoke to parents who said these threats are scary for their kids.

“It’s very scary. You don’t know if it’s actually for real or if somebody is just playing a joke and its not a joke, its very serious. I mean, to get the kids panicked, they don’t even want to go to school some of them,” said Connie Hall.

Hall has a daughter in fifth grade at Snyder Park Elementary School. She said despite the continual threats, her daughter showed up.

Governor Mike DeWine ordered troopers from Ohio State Highway Patrol to be at each of the schools in the district all day. They also sweep the buildings before students get there.

“Yesterday there were two of them out here standing which kind of helps a lot with your anxiety and everything that’s going on,” Hall said. “You got to take each one of them seriously because you never know the time you let up is going to be the time that it actually happens.”

DeWine said he will keep troopers at the school as long as they are needed.

We will continue updating this story.

Not if you have a proper backup plan.

I have about 200ish TB or about 24 drives and 3 of them failed all are used. I have a solid backup plan so no issues with failing drives. Saves me roughly 100-200 a drive.

New drives have infant mortality as well. An inverse bell curve would be the distribution.

Yeah, I was a little shocked too.

Especially in apartment complexes. There's usually a communal outbox for anyone to send out mail. But no, you'll have to go all the way to a post office to drop off mail. The nearest one is a 20 minute walk for me.

There are a few YouTube videos that end up rebooting android. Forgot which ones and I'm too scared to try to recreate it.

Many Nordic countries use gravel as a salt alternative. Pretty sure there are salt bans for private areas.

Repurposing!

Oh boy, German internet prices would like a word.

All jokes aside, it's gotten way better the past few years.

But I'm still paying for texts. Imagine that.

I'm a network engineer in the DoD lol

Living near an airport can be everything from dangerous to downright disruptive. People who usually live near these airports and their busy areas of traffic often try to get things at the airport changed, but it’s usually unsuccessful. One household in Washington D.C., though, took things to a whole new level by issuing over 7,000 complaints against Reagan National Airport in a single year.

We first spotted this wild statistic in a tweet from @AlecStapp that contained a screenshot of a page from a 2017 study conducted by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University — and the results were a shocking display of NIMBYism. NIMBY is an acronym that stands for ‘Not In My Back Yard,’ and it usually refers to homeowners or residents that oppose any kind of development in their area. It can involve something as simple as homeowners being furious about a local foot race closing down their streets — or it could involve folks living near an airport issuing thousands of noise complaints.

From 2014 to 2015, nine of the busiest airports in the country — Reagan, Denver, Dulles, Las Vegas, LAX, Portland, Phoenix, Seattle, and San Francisco— all received thousands of noise complaints. However, the most notable finding is that the bulk of the complaints often came from a very small group of people.

For example, Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport received 3,814 complaints from just 13 households in a single zip code. The study says that works out to 293 calls per household. Or, there was a single person at a house in Monterey Park, California who made 489 complaints against LAX just in June of 2015; that one person made up over 50 percent of the complaints that month. But this D.C. household really takes it up a notch.

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington D.C. received 8,760 noise complaints in 2015. A whopping 78 percent of those complaints (6,852) were made from just two individuals in a single household in the Foxhall neighborhood of D.C. The report details why these people were so determined to be heard:

The residents of that particular house called Reagan National to express irritation about aircraft noise an average of almost 19 times per day during 2015.

Look, I get being annoyed by plane noise throughout the day. Being disrupted from your work 19 times a day must be very frustrating. At the same time, though, the Reagan National Airport first opened in 1941 and was expanded to two terminals in 1997. There’s no way the residents making those complaints have been around all that time, getting more and more annoyed at the prospect of airplane noise. If the noise is that big of a problem, maybe don't buy a house near an airport in the first place.
