I mean this is the osha thread, how many car gifs do we get where at last one person getting hosed up got hosed up because they reacted to a situation in a way that made everything worse instead of just continuing what they were doing and how many times do we get gifs of people miraculously unaware of a situation not reacting at all and narrowly avoiding the fallout because of it hell even the "traffic/pedestrian" gifs where people are just cutting straight through perpetual cross traffic Part of the takeaway is probably "if you're not reacting you're a predictable obstacle that people will try to avoid if they're at all capable of doing so, but if you're reacting you're as predictable as a drunk dude weaving around in the middle of the freeway". It'd be interesting to look into statistically, obviously this does nothing if you're on the verge of getting flattened by a car that was going 120, swerved and flipped, but for any situation where there's still some modicum of control involved e: snipe content https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=Ipg1_1522225265 quote:The unmanned car gains momentum as it approaches its home and even attempts to climb the original gradient.

Any time I think the SA forums look ancient and outdated I can look at this ar15 forum. Holy poo poo that's an ugly site. Also everyone speaks like they're ESL or a caveman.

The only thing that would make it better is if the helicopter crashed into his house and killed his wife and the only thing he could think to say is "I respect his right to private property, and that right supersedes my desire to not have helicopters crash into my house."

It's almost like there are a lot of people who like to argue about rights but don't actually know what rights are, or how they work. Which is probably why arbitrary egocentric interpretations lead to contradictions, like the majority of US politics being a mob of idiots all fighting over who is allowed to delete others' freedoms they find offensive. I haven't studied the subject all that much either, but I also don't try to force my ideals on others

Alexander Hamilton posted:The last few pages sent me down a rabbit hole of plane crashes. Please post more about plane crashes. Here is an explanation of the Air France 4590 Concorde crash by a British Airways Concorde pilot. It's pretty comprehensive and has loads of stuff I had never known about this incident, like the fact that this flight was almost 3 tons over its weight limits and missed a 747 that had the French president onboard by about 20 feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqOcYhzWUZY EDIT: Or head over to the Aeronautical Insanity thread in AI and find gems like this Spaced God posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF7FR7TjnME Wombot posted:Came here to post that.

I remember the original video, there's like a 5 minute gap between the people walking into the hallway and the car going in, it was just cut in a weird way.
