Does minecraft possibly help me with civil engineering creativity?
The popular sandbox game, minecraft, allows me to build, design, blow up, and think of literally ANYTHING. I figured that since I could make a lot of building and structures, along with wiring lights and setting up different materials throughout single-family houses and co-ops, would this virtual game help me with my creativity and possibly my future into going into civil engineering?

3 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police5 years agoHow does calling 911 work?
I'm going to be leaving my little sister(10 years old) at home for about thirty minutes to an hour or so, because I have to mow my uncle's front lawn (he lives down the street, about three blocks down). I set up the air conditioning, made her lunch, put several pre-opened bottles of water in the refrigerator, and other luxuries to keep her busy. The problem is that I've never called 911 before and I don't know how to explain it to get thoroughly. Is it like in movies and tv shows where the operater immediately asks "What's your emergency" and, depending on the emergency, they decide which emergency branch they send? I'm 17 years old and I'll try my hardest to come back home. My parents probably won't get here till later tonight, but my uncle said it's going to rain tomorrow, so he requested me to finish the lawn that he cut before he dashed to work. If anything happens to my sister while I'm gone, I'm more than willing to take full responsibility and punishment for her.

6 AnswersLaw & Ethics5 years agoI had a dream I was a shooter in a school shooting?
I had a dream I went into my high school with one of my best friends. He gave me his gun and told me to enter through the back, so we can get the kindergarteners first. When we stepped into re door, he started shooting the ceiling to get the school's attention, but I instantly regretted my decision of shooting up a school with him.

2 AnswersMilitary5 years agoWho are Mexico's allies?
Here's the scenario: Trump becomes President. He somehow fortifies the current US-Mexico border with militarized equipment and machinery. He makes Mexico pay for it, but they laugh and refuse. Trump then forces Mexico to pay by taking over parts if Mexico and starts a cultural genocide in Mexican-American towns, cities, and villages through America. Mexico fights back with their own military and militia, but wouldn't be able to withstand American fire power. Who would back up Mexico with military and economic support? This is an UNREALISTIC scenario and, God willing, will NEVER happen. I'm completely aware if the unrealism in this story.
