I’m not even sure wtf he is doing lol

It looks like a limb has fallen through and broken several of the service wires, so he's working on that for sure.

I can't tell what he's got in his hand there.... If it was a saw I'd say he's cutting the limb cause I think that's the first thing that needs to happen but it doesn't really look like a saw.

You can stand in the shower for fifteen seconds and dry off a bit before you step out, you know.

e: then again you're from a country that puts dishes back in the cupboard while they're still wet so maybe you're equally hosed up about showers

Bathroom rubs are generally made with slip-resistant bottoms and can be woven from materials that discourage microbial growth if properly and regularly washed.

LIFE HACK: slippers are exactly like that only they're attached to your feet, much smaller, and therefore much easier to clean.

Its full of harrowing accidents involving bombs and nuclear material. Fun ones include an airman stumbling around the bomb bay and trying to keep his balance by gripping a nearby handle.

The handle is the emergency bomb release. It fell on the bay doors and crashed through them, leaving the guy dangling on the handle while the Mark 6 atomic bomb fell onto Mars Bluff. It's unarmed but an unarmed nuclear bomb just means the nuclear detonation wont go off. Its still got an implosion mechanism made of regular explosives.

It falls onto a playhouse that three little girls are playing in then explodes, demolishing it and the house nearby and putting 6 people in hospital.

If anyone (who has or hasn't) already read it wants to listen to a pretty good podcast episode about the Damascus incident (where a dropped wrench almost nuked Arkansas) Radio Diaries + This American Life did an episode on it.

It's good as hell but fairly scary in parts. My absolute favourite:

quote:

At Homestead Air Force Base in Florida, thirty-five members of an Army unit were arrested for using and selling marijuana and LSD. The unit controlled the Nike Hercules antiaircraft missiles on the base, along with their nuclear warheads. The drug use at Homestead was suspected after a fully armed Russian MiG-17 fighter plane, flown by a Cuban defector, landed there unchallenged, while Air Force One was parked on a nearby runway

Literally no-one does. That's where you put the dinner table.

e: You want to put a radiator under the window so you don't get hell of draft all the time (not due to the window leaking air but due to how air cooled next to the window - which is obviously colder than a wall - behaves).
