Something that's not machines falling over: The Cleveland balloon cloud of 1986!



Someone thought it would be a good idea to release a cloud of millions of balloons over the city of Cleveland. The weather at the time blew them all over the city and then pressed them down to a low height. The balloons interfered with traffic, stopped air traffic completely, lead to the deaths of two people and covered the city in trash.

Balloon Man Fills Sky With Balloons
Chicago (AP) - The white clown came into town about 9 AM. He had the power to make colorful balloons appear. He entertained a crowd until 12 pm when onlookers say the sky grew dark with balloons. The balloons blocked out the sun. A strange wind blew through the city streets as the balloons continued to spread. The white clown is alone in the middle of the road now, everyone else is hiding inside. Police say the clown has not responded to gunfire.

How can you not know how to use a GPS?

You literally just press the button marked 'on' and is displays your position in big letters.

My grandmother and my 8 year old could both work out how to use it. Heck, my CEO could probably work it out, once he stopped chewing it.

I'm picturing something more in the automotive navigation range of GPS devices, which are sometimes not exactly straightforward to get coordinates out of.

I was once lost looking for a job site on a newly built road out at the edge of the Chicago suburbs and not one of the six IT professionals I knew who were already there could just give me their coordinates. This was when the iPhone 3G was brand new, so while some of us had smartphones none of them had GPS and we were stuck relying on whatever they had stuck to their windshields. My TomTom had easy access to raw information and could navigate to the nearest known road to a given set of coordinates, but whatever the other guys had apparently weren't as friendly when you wanted to go beyond the database. Eventually I just had one of them drive out to the main road and give me the first address they saw.

Oh man I LOVED this. Used to do a lot of work in the south burbs like tinley/orland and there were new sub divisions going up all the time, there'd be 15 minutes of driving where I was just hoping I had made the correct turn because none of it was mapped.

Pretty much nailed it, this was in New Lenox when the Silver Cross Hospital was under construction. Now that I'm thinking about it the road was actually in the nav database, but it had been just recently renamed to Silver Cross Boulevard at the time and no one we could get in contact with knew what the previous name was.

The address thing also caused us problems with E911 because none of our providers would validate the address. Because of this for a little while we had a hack that was probably vaguely OSHA for introducing potential points of failures on emergency calls. The phones had a 911 redirect in their dialplan that caused them to instead call an extension attached to an adapter in their back room which then connected to the physical phone line the fax machines ran on and hot-line dialed 911.

It worked when tested and the one time it was needed for a real call, but drat was I ever glad to get rid of it when we could because I didn't want my hack to potentially be a point of failure on a 911 call from a medical facility.

Approved containers only, he probably transferred it after the fact. Not that anyone pays THAT much attention as long as you pay for your gas.

Who's going to stop you? 9 out of 10 workers at gas stations suffer from:

1.) Broke Brain
2.) Alcolism
3.) Meth Fancy
4.) Sociopallix
5.) Miniature Gigantism

Seriously, there is literally no one with less agency in a society that someone working at a gas station. If they could even summon the humors necessarily to form a thought, and tried to challenge you on it, simply looking their direction would send them into a fugue state in which they retreat Gollum-like to their dumpster demesne to search for winning scratch tickets. Pay at the pump his reduced these workers to little more than vacantly staring figureheads who help grandmas and a place for the bullets to go when the place gets robbed fortnightly.

He's a commercial airline pilot, owns a real estate business, and makes nearly a million a year from Youtube. I don't think he's worried about paying for any damages. Now, the divorce settlement after his wife finds out about all the terrible things he's probably started doing since he got famous...

Why the gently caress doesn't he wear eyepro if he's a pilot? He can probably still fly a plane with disfigured hands but not burnt out eye sockets.

No photo, but the other day I saw a guy using an angle grinder to cut a post off at eye level. No safety glasses, no earpro, and no guard on the death wheel, he just one-handed the machine and held his off hand cupped around about where the guard would be. Miraculously, he did not lose a fingat or eye.
