Not to beat a dead horse, but another one:

http://nation.foxnews.com/poll/2017/02/21/how-would-rate-president-trumps-first-month-in-office/

73% of 30k votes say his first month has gone poorly, on a Fox poll

Funny enough, Texas hates him more than California, so far.

Yeah but it's loving Fox News and look at the wording of the questions.

"good -- full of accomplishments"
"mixed -- he started off strong but is getting bogged down in unnecessary controversies"
"poor"

it doesn't distinguish between "his first month has gone poorly because he's a gigantic shitheel moron" and "his first month has gone poorly because those goddamn libtards won't stop trying to shut down all of his good ideas"

Food blogger, which is actually more hilarious.

EDIT: Lol, the wrong distance AND the correct time can be seen on her garmin. How incompetent can one person be?

There's this story about a guy who cheats marathons but no one has ever been able to figure out how he does it. He was disqualified from most of his races, tons of people speculated on it but no one figured out how he did it. Anyone knows the guy?

No insurance company in the world will touch him, or any project where he performs his own stunts.

Fun fact: Jackie Chan received a broken nose from Bruce Lee.

Among other things, missing checkpoint chip data, suspicious splits (going fast in areas that you should be slow like steep inclines) and, absurdly enough, arriving at the finish line with different clothing since he started the race

Oh yeah, funny thing I had forgotten about in the article: Another technique the guy used to win the marathons was just making up marathons, down to the websites and recording himself as the winner.

quote:

The debunkers zeroed in on the West Wyoming Marathon, the one race that Litton had supposedly won outright. One of them came across a Web cache of the race’s defunct home page, which included this caveat: “With a low entry fee, there will be no goodie bags, no shirts, no photographer and no finishers medals.”

Not sure. In my case, I was sleeping naked because it was the tropics and I had no AC. My camera battery exploded in the charger, only a few feet from my face, and the room was rapidly filling with horrible black smoke. My killer instincts being what they are, I screamed "FUUUCCCCKKK" at the top of my lungs and leapt out of bed, then ran frantically around my burning room looking for my underwear before opening any doors or windows. Could have died I'm sure, but as I say, panic makes you into a complete dumbfuck.

As I understand it, it depends on the type of fiber. Synthetic fibers will more likely decompose into adhesive compounds which will keep heat in close contact with your skin. Natural fibers are recommended if you are going to be around open flame.

Asbestos is natural, so that's good.

Bar Crow
Oct 10, 2012
Natural in this context means plant or animal fiber as opposed to polymers derived from fossil fuels. However cancer due to asbestos fibers shredding your DNA at an advanced age is still probably preferable to suddenly burning to death. Be sure to fully fill in the circles on your How I Want To Die survey with a number 2 pencil so your preferences are known.
