As Fortnite battle royale continues, parents are starting to invest in coaches in the same way they would for sports or academics. The Wall Street Journal reported parents are paying good money for tutors so their kids can level up and become better Fortnite players. "There's pressure not to just play it but to be really good at it," Ally Hicks, who purchased four hours of lessons for her 10-year-old son, told the publication. "You can imagine what that was like for him at school."

Dishwasher for dummies continued
"We had the same problem at work with the same dishwasher," writes Patricia. "The tea lady would go home at 2pm and I emptied the dishwasher later in the day and could not work out why the soap dispenser had not opened and yet the dishes were done. What was happening: the arm would get caught on the plates and stopped it going through the cycle. Finally I discovered the handles at the side of the tray and fixed the problem."
Picture this
Canadian artist Justin LeDuc created a digital rendering of a hovering gigantic Grim Reaper grasping the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, wrapped a red robe. It looked so real, a number of people thought that it was, maybe because the footage appeared to have been taken through the window of a helicopter.
