Diving off of a diving board is not cool? But it's a diving board...

Pretty sure the implication is supposed to be "don't dive when someone is in the way," but it does rather come off as either "only stand at the end of the diving board, don't jump off it" or some variation of "don't dive while black."

Don't worry. If the track isn't done just cancel all the BMX events. It's not like anyone will care.

poo poo like that just seems wasteful. Should we do anything with these trees, one of the most precious, versatile, fully renewable products on the planet? The thing that people would pay you to take away?

There's a similar thing for bush hogs the farmers around here use for mowing odd angled areas around their properties.

And these aren't for small tractors either, but huge commercial farm machines. I've seen at least one fire hydrant broken into pieces from being clipped by a bush hog, and those are pretty thick cast iron.

The mans last words on his death bed will be "Careful Steve! Goddamnit." as Steve sets fire to their shared room at the hospital.

they do that when it doesn't make sense financially to haul them back to civilization, which can also mean "it would take hilarious amounts of fuel therefore fuel emissions to move them"

anyhow those trees are too small to make lumber

You know, I always wanted to know more about the lumbering process. Like, how do you get those long-rear end planks that seem longer than any tree has a right to be? I can't see seams or hidden nails or anything.

Sawdust is a useful product, it gets turned into compressed wood pellets and exported to Germany so that they can burn it for fuel. Or into particle board. Or it's delivered to some lovely chain restaurants to scatter around their floors to make them look old-timey.


Potentially NMS, but I enjoy a suicide bomber getting shot by a cop and then completely failing to set his bomb off fast enough to accomplish anything other than his own disintegration:
