Fun Fosbury story that is vaguely related to the thread: my mom went to the same elementary school that he had attended, right as he premiered that move and went to the Olympics. The school was very proud of that connection and asked him to come give a small talk to all the kids, including my mother, who was eight or nine at the time. Apparently all the kids were insanely excited to see him, and basically the instant he showed up they all started screaming and rushed him. I guess instinct took over, on both sides. Cue this poor 20-year-old kid sprinting away from a group of screeching fourth graders, never to return.

The whole family still teases my mom for being a part of that.

It's the look of someone trying something for the first time, but they've seen other people doing it and figure it can't be that hard.

Vape battery

I was filling up my car about six months ago when a guy tried to vape at the pump near me and got seriously yelled at over the (incredibly loud) speaker system from the bloke working there. I believe it started with "What the hell do you think you're doing you bloody drongo!" and only got better from there.

The petrol station was attached to a mall parking lot, so there were literally hundreds of people around looking at the guy and how stupid he was.

When I went inside to pay, the vaping idiot was trying to argue with him that he should be allowed to vape while filling because the vape isn't "electronic" and can't cause sparks or anything.

i mean, his reasoning is wrong and dumb, but it's no more dangerous than a mobile phone (the battery voltages are literally the same)

Yeah but nah, I hear that pretty regularly. Moreso than drongo, but location could change that. Older folk (i.e.60+) and rural folk have some frankly wonderful lingo.

And the exploding had nothing to do with vaping. The guy kept a loose unprotected industrial strength battery in his pocket with stuff that could short it.

Not that cheap chinese hardware doesn't explode, but this is more osha than anything.

We had two police shootings in Des Moines last night. Generally upper middle class suburb, mostly caucasian. Someone ambushed two offices sitting in their squad cars, and shot them. The local news posts about it all immediately turned into gently caress BLACK LIVES MATTER BLUE LIVES MATTER THOSE BLACKS ARE BARBARIANS.

He's a confederate flag waving white guy.

This won't be widely known because The Drudge Report won't mention it, and all U.S. "news" media uses The Drudge Report as the primary source of information for the day's consumption.
