Lessons

  • If you're a public figure, avoid escorts and 'solo Bimify' to prevent political career damage from leaked photos.
  • When faced with a wasp nest in an inconvenient location, consider creative, aggressive removal strategies like a 'hyper punch' with a falconer's glove or suffocating it with construction foam.
  • For escaping a submerged car, prioritize removing seatbelts and rolling down windows immediately, or using a window breaker tool, rather than attempting to kick out windows or waiting for water to equalize pressure.
