I heard about him on a podcast earlier this week. Their take on it is that a) the kid had basically unlimited money and b) his dad was effectively never there because he was too busy making squillions of dollars making movies.

Yes. They also literally have no idea how tax brackets work.

Not a joke. Had one dude who thought ultra rich people got 60% of their money taken, and that if he moved up to the next tax bracket, he'd somehow lose money.

Luckily he was happy to learn that's not how the progressive tax works and agreed it made much more sense than he thought.

Like 90% of people don't understand how tax brackets or property tax work and are mad as hell about it.

Correct. Drinking something you hate the taste of so much you have to drown it out in something else or down it super quickly is the true shame. There's a billions types of drinks, drink things that taste good and you savor, like good tequila.

It looks like a critical failure of the Head Tube to Down Tube weld which isn't entirely uncommon for extreme downhill stuff like this. Seeing as how he was trying to break a speed record I'd guess he was running some kind of custom frame built by someone who didn't know the proper incantations to set the TIG welder correctly.

I'm a gangly little nerd who never fired a gun, and when we went skeet shooting and used my grandpa's giant WWII era soviet hunting rifle instead of the nimble little double-barrels you're supposed to use I felt like I could barely hold the loving thing, it was so long and heavy and awkward and it KICKED. Still managed to hit a fair number of skeets. My poor wife who is quite small fired it once, didn't drop it or anything, but realized she felt it was too big and she didn't have a good enough grip or sense of control over it.

So I don't understand how so many people let their guns just zip away. Was the buckshot we were using in this rifle not as strong as other shells? Less kick?

Literally any gun you fire has enough kick that if you're not holding it properly it will fly out of your hands. The pissiest .22 short has a muzzle energy of around 40 foot/lbs, enough energy to lift two pounds of small gun 20 feet into the air.

The difference between you and the people you see have their guns fly off after firing them is that you got a few minutes of instruction, knew your limits and had a healthy respect for the gun. They were deficient in some or all of those areas and paid for it.

Momentum matters for reaction, not energy.

With a 12 gauge pistol grip they should have been told to GRIP it. Basic firearm safety and handling should be a priority even when you're out shooting for fun on your own private property. It's just a pet peeve but a valid one. Cracked had an article by a guy who dropped his shotgun and tried to catch it. He caught it by the trigger and obliterated his leg from the shin down. poo poo is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

Where we are going we won't need shirts

While we were on the shooting range in the military we would just rip up the cartons with the shotgun shells and dump em in a container to grab some for reloading. What we didn't notice was that a few of the packets were magnum versions, just slightly longer but otherwise the same. So Imagine plinking away maybe getting a bit sloppy when shouldering it when suddenly it feels like a horse kicked you in the shoulder.

Good times.
