On the chest of a barmaid in Sale, were tattooed the prices of ale. And on her behind for the sake of the blind, was the same information in braille.

One thing I know about the current Saudi King's personal jet is that it has a big rear end gyroscope to keep part of the floor facing towards mecca at all times. It also has a big rear end throne in the middle of it.

i wanna put a magnet on a roomba and stash it in the cargo bay of that jet

have it go off when he's at 30,000 feet and have the chair just go loving insane

bsg was one of the first space shows to really respect inertial motion

by which i mean the first like 2-3 episodes were well funded and well written and had good performances and that was enough to let its corpse bounce around for another couple years

Tornado prep drills are just to make people less spooked

If a tornado is gonna kill you it's going to kill you and there's not much you can do about it

what remarks

From CNN's story:

"I like Steve, but you have to remember he was not involved in my campaign until very late," Trump told New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. "I had already beaten all the senators and all the governors, and I didn't know Steve. I'm my own strategist and it wasn't like I was going to change strategies because I was facing crooked Hillary."

Then, just in case anyone missed the point (they didn't), Trump added: "Steve is a good guy, but I told them to straighten it out or I will."

Is there a line somewhere on the earth where people in a Mosque would be facing different directions?

im not specifically a scholar of islam nor am i muslim but in most cases where yyoud be praying in a mosque the direction is determined for the whole building and indicated to the congregation

plus there are some prayer practices that are performed as a congregation and in those cases even if no others being part of the congregational unity has gotta be more important than gps precision, id want to hit up my bookshelf before i went on the record here but as i remember and tbh feel p confident, most opinion on this is that its not like your sending yr energy to goku by facing the right way its about having a proper reverent consciousness and participating in something w the ummah

like if your sick or disabled or w/e your supposed to get mad leniency wrt direction and physical positioning, its not something to panic about just something not to half-rear end

theres some rad af opinion on what to do if your in space tho, esp since you might accidentally face the sun at some point and thats a big technical no-no

i was at a bar drinking with this one OSHA guy a few years back and this came up, too. he basically said that the only drills where there's good data backing up the idea that they save a lot of lives is fire drills, because fires you can run away from. all other drills are just about controlling panic primarily, and turning serious injuries into light ones and light ones into uninjured secondarily. the people who are dead in tornado, earthquake, etc simulations are dead as gently caress regardless of what they do.
