I've used the 140' before and have had rides in crane baskets over 200'. Both of those were way nicer than climbing the 280' towers.

I used to be afraid of heights in 2008-ish back when I started industrial construction. :ohdear:

ey if you need to check with your supervisor in order to experiment on yourself to get superpowers you just might not be superpowers material.

and why they would most likely never let me anywhere near where you work.

While trying to make an exciting shooting video, a Georgia man packed a lawn mower with Tannerite. He inadvertently used too much of the explosive and when he fired on the lawnmower, the explosion was so powerful, it blew-off his left leg below the knee.

FPSRussia is a popular YouTube channel consisting of videos involving firearms and explosives. The videos feature Kyle Myers, an American born in Lavonia, Georgia, USA, playing the role of Dmitri Potapoff, a heavily accented Russian from Moscow

Apparently he actually does most/all of his videos with police and EMT supervision that you can't see. His personal gun collection is actually far smaller than the array he shows off in his videos; he just rents stuff (or in the case of the AA-12 is given the chance to demonstrate a pre-production prototype). He lost some clout when his manager got murdered because the ATF immediately suspected him and shut down filming for an investigation, but they determined that nothing illegal was going on and his channel is back up.


Along with what others have said, he started out on YouTube as FPSKyle doing Call of Duty multiplayer videos before he got the idea to make up the Dmitri character for gun videos.

I work for a firearms manufacturer and we go to Shot Show every year (e3 for guns).

Our photographer met him, and said he was an incredible douche. He walked up to our booth, asked for about $10,000 worth of free poo poo, and then just silently left when we told him no.

Oh yeah, this was after our marketing director thought it was a great idea to give him $15,000 in free guns to feature on his channel about 2 years ago, which ended up being shown for about 10 seconds in some completely unrelated video.

I talked to this guy once and he confirmed that FPSRussia is a giant rear end in a top hat. He actually received a lifetime ban from a range in Florida that GY6vids uses because he blew up a trailer and then just packed up his film crew and left without even attempting to clean up the mess.

You're not expected to clean up the mess but you should definitely cut a check to the owner

Remember, you are infinitely more likely to be bitten by a spider if you're trying to kill it.

Infinitely?!

That means that there's a zero chance of a spider attack regardless of what I do, or there's a 100% chance a spider will retaliate at any sign of hostility!

In fact, maybe it doesn't stop there. Maybe the "infinitely" means that if you attack a spider, every other spider on Earth and every parallel Earth will seek to bite you for the rest of its days.

At any given time you can assume that there is an infinite number of spiders on an infinite number of planets, all of which are willing to retaliate against you.

It this an OSHA approved method for killing spiders? And should they be careful of the infinite retaliation? Turn down your head phones, the fire alarm goes off near the end of the video.
