That looks kind of lovely for a waterslide, I mean isn't the point that a waterslide is you go down it with your body, that's like a really lovely rollercoaster that gets you wet.

The Door Frame posted:Steady, controlled acceleration will help you stay in control on a sharper turn, but gunning the throttle halfway through a turn and throwing the steering wheel is basically asking to crash into the nearest tree I have a feeling that a lot of these fuckups are caused by traction control kicking in. That poo poo is dangerous if you are deliberatly trying to get sideways. It just completely messes with what you would naturally expect the car to do.

The best part of the lake-crashed Veyron is that the car is so drat well made that it didn't actually get destroyed.

Didn't he leave it running in the water so that it would hydrolock the engine, but the air intake is higher that the roof so the engine is still ok? It would've just needed a new interior or something.

It would've just needed a new interior or something. The car should have shut off on its own, but I think the intake did get some water that came up over the roof on splashdown. The electronics also got hosed up (note the spoiler remaining up), and I think some of the suspension was damaged during the retrieval. I don't recall if the body was damaged or not, but I think the construction of it doesn't lend itself to being repaired so much as replaced. The main part of the story I like though is that the insurance company supposedly bought the video recorder's cellphone for some crazy amount of money.

You stand in a little capsule thing and they push a button that drops the floor out from under you. The park near our place has two of those awesome things. Well, sometimes. Sometimes one of them stops working so you get in, it counts down THREE...TWO...ONE... and then the floor doesn't drop out. And there's this awkward pause while you wait for the operator to let you out. Or it counts down, then nothing happens, then the bastard drops you. Or sometimes the speaker inside the capsule doesn't work so you don't hear the countdown, you're just hanging out waiting for the operator to turn the key and thAAAAAAGLRLURLGLUR Also it's hilarious when someone doesn't make it all the way around the loop because they're too light or wearing the wrong kind of swimsuit.

I've actually had nightmares of being lodged in a waterslide with more dudes and water coming down behind me, slowly being crushed and drowned at the same time... For someone to just jump in all *dee dee doo doo* and have absolutely no backup plan or knowledge of emergency procedure is just totally inconceivable to me. But I'm someone with natural curiosity who thinks more than 20 seconds into the future and isn't afraid to ask questions.

He's starting to realize that people are much more interested in the pain part, the food aspect is just his little niche that sets him apart from others. He'll likely continue focusing more on the pain, less on the food until his organs start to fail. I'm not sure how often he turns out content, but I can't imagine that he works more than 10-15 hours a week and is probably pulling in a a solid income as a youtube partner. If he's smart he'll try to spin this into some sort of side business, like LA Beast hot sauce and then pimp it on his videos and social media pages.

In this case the emergency procedure is the same as the regular procedure: When you stop moving, stand up and get out so the attendant can tell the guy with the key to send the next person down. The claims made in that lawsuit are the words of an idiot. If you don't make it all the way around there's a hatch of shame at the bottom of the loop, and if you're my wife, a fat guy taunting you by waving his hand in a u-shaped seesaw motion

So the doofus who spent $100k in plastic surgery to look like Justin Bieber (without actually looking at all like Justin Bieber) has been in the recording studio apparently. http://www.eonline.com/shows/botche...d-deleted-scene Oh really? Studying music just wasn't for you, eh? Surprising.
