When that started making the rounds a few days back on social media, I thought it was fake because of the speed of some of those flips. Still looks almost like ragdoll to me.

I just did this yesterday first thing in the morning and the employees getting warmed up were unreal. I guess putting 150mph wind through a tube like that lets an area JUST LARGER than the surface area of your head hold you in place! Once the speed is up high the employees zoomed around in there at pretty amazing speeds for such a small area. Of course I hung there like a huge jellyfish because I got a little closer to that 250 than I'd like

The thing that impresses me isn't so much the size of the ship, as that they are building it indoors.

I had the same thought. "gently caress the boat, look at the size of that room."

Serious question / thought i just had.

How big does a building have to be before it has to literally take into account the curvature of the Earth?

Brick and mortar can deal with it easy enough but steel frames and siding, there's no room for play in the materials there.

Making a straight foundation when the direction of gravity relative to its base varies along its length sounds...exciting.

Steel is plenty flexible. Skyscrapers sway in the wind for example.

Big, but not overwhelmingly huge, you need to account for it in order for the roof to work properly on a really long building, and stuff the Verrazano Narrow Bridge had to account for it in the height and spacing of its towers since they area couple inches further apart at the top then at the base.

My dad passed away a few years ago and while we were sorting through his things, I found out that he was apparently something of a daredevil when he was in his 20s

That's him being dragged behind a motorcycle wearing boots with metal soles

He also apparently held a Guinness record for jumping through a "tunnel of fire" at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in like 1975, an act for which I have no photo unfortunately

I know that's not really as badass as some of the other poo poo in this thread but thanks for reading my cool dad story anyway

That's not 'my dad did this' bad rear end, that's just bad rear end. The fact that he happened to be your dad means you've got some seriously big, metal soled, shoes to fill. Mad loving props to your dad, that looks like he knew how to rock it.

Badass. The metal boots (actually plates that attach to boots) are called 'hotshoes' and are boss footwear at your local flat track. I'd bet that your dad went more than just a few miles sideways with left foot planted. Totally badass.

Titanic compared to a modern cruise liner.

That's only a cruise ship - really just a blinged up housing project and casino sitting on a boat, great for paddling around coastlines like a toddler exploring the kiddie pool. Large but not bad rear end. Liners are bad rear end real ships, built to sail the oceans as fast as goddamn possible.

I've seen her predecessor, the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, in person and that one was loving colossal enough. You can see it here, with some nearby buildings for scale. I took the picture from top of a cliff a mile or so away:

The Queen Mary 2 is considerably bigger.

The difference between a cruise ship and QM2 is entirely in the way she is marketed to snobs who lament the loss of their empire.

Sayed Jafar Naderi is one of Afghanistan's most powerful warlords and has his own army of ~20,000 fighters.

Before he went to fight in the Soviet war in Afghanistan his name was Jeff, he lived in Pennsylvania and was the drummer for a metal band.

This dude is easily the most bad rear end person ever to live. The whole thing is worth a read, and I won't lie that I saw it first on cracked. Here is just a snippet

quote:

Shriver's closest companion was a German shepherd he'd brought back from Taiwan
which he named Klaus. One night Klaus got sick on beer some recon men fed him and
crapped on the NCO club floor; they rubbed his nose in it and threw him out. Shriver
arrived, drank a beer, removed his blue velvet smoking jacket and derby hat, put a .38
revolver on a table, then dropped his pants and defecated on the floor. "If you want to
rub my nose in this," he dared, "come on over." Everyone pretended not to hear him;
one man who'd fed Klaus beer urged the Recon Company commander to intervene.
The captain laughed in his face.
