Blistex posted:I've seen the automatic ones in China. There is usually a box with a key or a flip-up panel and a button like on an escalator. I'm guessing something/someone tripped it by accident. There was a mall I'd go wander around between classes at in Shenyang, and they would usually open them like this in the spring to let fresh air (lol) circulate or during busy sale days. Geez, hope they don't all snap shut as fast.

Why the hell is everyone just shrugging their shoulders and saying "welp, what do you expect, dumb teenagers, what choice does the government have but to react the way they do?" It's absolutely loving retarded. It's security theatre. I don't see how it can do a drat thing to actually preventing terrorist attacks. Ditto for jokes about killing Obama.

Because if you come down hard on a few people crying wolf, it will discourage others from doing so in the future. Pretty sure that's the idea, though I don't necessarily agree with it.

I suppose investigating the leads is warranted, but why not drop it when the investigation shows that they have no links to extremist groups, no ragey manifesto blog posts, no problems at school, no other warning signs, etc etc? I maintain that going right to sending men in suits over to tell you to stop making jokes is bloody stupid.

Funny how the two predominantly Euro sports (soccer and F1) are two of the most hilariously and openly corrupt enterprises ever devised, aside from some/most governments.

It happens from time to time in football but with instant replay, booing from fans, castigation in the media/player, and aggressive fines it isn't that bad yet.

Am I one of the few people that spent most of middleschool and highschool skateboarding and lived to adulthood with no major injuries? Admittedly I did wear a helmet when skating ramps but my only real injury is a broken pinky.

Also revolving doors are kind of deathtraps if there a bunch of people on the inside wanting to get out at the same time. Which, you know, people kind of want to do if the building is burning down.

I not so sure about that one. If I were fully expecting to kick a half kilo ball and instead hit a 90 kilo person I would probably lose balance as well.
