Snowglobe of Doom posted:Sparklers burn at 1800°F to 3000°F (1000°C to 1600°C) but it's actually pretty safe to hold them close to your body or even hold one in your mouth since the sparks themselves have really low thermal energy and won't burn you just as long as no other part of the sparkler touches you. Putting one in your mouth and then letting go is ... uh, not recommended. More to the point, sparklers include their own oxidiser. That means they keep burning even if you starve them of oxygen! You could probably put out a candle by putting it in your mouth because the flame would consume all the oxygen in your mouth and then extinguish (assuming you didn't burn the roof of your mouth and spit it first out, of course). But sparklers burn even if you try to snuff them out, because they contain their own source of oxygen. I can't be too smug, though, because I had to look it up to confirm.

Ronda Rousey had her big comeback fight today, everyone was expecting big things, but it turns out that after you get exposed by a good striker, then do loving nothing to work on your striking, you're going to get exposed by a good striker again. http://i.imgur.com/dSJzlGe.mp4

Isn't Ronda kind of a terrible person anyway so we shouldn't feel too bad?

From that high school basketball player court video, I had no idea you could serve multiple sentences concurrently. Seems odd to me.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Isn't Ronda kind of a terrible person anyway so we shouldn't feel too bad? Well, she supposedly thinks that the Sandy Hook shootings, and 9/11, were black flag operations. In practise (as least from a cursory google) I could only find this, which looks to be from a "truther" site, and the most incriminating evidence there is that she retweeted a Sandy Hook conspiracy video. So.... I guess she might be an idiot? I don't know whether "terrible person" is justified. This court of public opinion is adjourned. *gavel sounds*

It seems to happen all the time, probably to prevent someone who did a relatively minor crime several times from getting life in prison. In that case it was probably more going easy on him since he's young and still has somewhat of a chance at reforming though.

Did anyone besides the UFC marketing team expect big things from her? She was really good because the talent pool was so shallow. I've said it before and I'll say it again, she's the female Karo Parisyan.

I think a lot of people was super stoked about her because she seemed kickass and invincible and that was a kinda new rolemodel for women or something. Otherwise I have no idea why so many seemed to be so invested in her.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, she's the female Karo Parisyan. The fight was also one round, so it wasn't like she was hanging in there for a while and then let her guard down. She can do arm bars and gently caress else. She's terrible. Malachite_Dragon posted:Isn't Ronda kind of a terrible person anyway so we shouldn't feel too bad? She retweeted a Sandy Hook false flag conspiracy video with a comment like, "really makes you think." Yeah, Rhonda. It makes me think, "whoever made this video is an evil dumbass." I don't know if that makes her a bad person, but she's at least a huge idiot whose combination of stupidity and celebrity probably made more than one person buy that evil bullshit that wouldn't have otherwise. But her being a bad, overhyped fighter is reason enough for schadenfreude for me. FCKGW posted:My new favorite image Fuckin lol

At 40 seconds he briefly becomes a pig. Him still trying to act like a tough guy at the end is the cherry on top though.
