Obviously fake because there is nothing pointing to the exit in IKEA because it is a labyrinth with no exit

It doesn't shock me any more to see people driving with a wheel missing, there's so many videos about it. If they had to go a kilometre to a garage or something it's completely stupid but most people don't give a poo poo about their actions' impact on others or themselves. But it still shocks me how loving fast they go, like there's no concern at all about how different the driving characteristics of the car would be.

Wonder what would happen if they drove over a cat's eye with that wheel

But it still shocks me how loving fast they go, like there's no concern at all about how different the driving characteristics of the car would be. To me it suggests that these people have no concept of how a car should, or does, feel or act when driving. Like as long as it is going in the right direction at the right speed, they genuinely cannot have any awareness of any other mechanical variables. They are not ignoring an engine screaming at the redline, they simply cannot tell that anything is different from the norm.

You don't see them a lot in places that get snow since they'd just get popped off the road by the plows. I used to see a lot of inset, plow-proof ones but less so these days i guess they were too expensive.

Here's hoping I won't be crushed, or worse, the machine will be damaged. Deckels aren't cheap milling machine. pls post pics either way.

The best part of this is that the MOL Excellence's sister ship, the MOL Comfort actually cracked in half in the Indian Ocean, the back end sank, and the front end was being towed toward the Arabian Gulf. The front then caught fire and sank. It was literally this skit in it's entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM

Jabor posted:Cat's eyes are raised bumps in the road between lanes. They're called that because they contain glass spheres with mirrored backs, that reflect headlights and make the lane divisions very easy to see at night. Specifically, they reflect any light back to its source, no matter the angle of incidence (unlike a flat mirror, which only reflects the light back to the source if the light is shined perpendicular to the mirror's surface). These types of reflectors are used all over the place in road signs, markings, etc. since it makes them look much, much brighter in your headlights, than if they just scattered the light all over the place. They are called cat's eyes because cat's eyes reflect this way as well. For cats, this allows the light to pass through the optic nerves twice, improving their night vision  .Similar reflectors are placed on the moon, so that we can measure the distance to the moon using lasers, to a precision of a few mm. This is actually pretty insane when you think about it. We can measure the distance to the moon so accurately that at most, we are off by a couple of quarters stacked on top of each other.

OrthoTrot posted:Drinking on the job. Thanks for keeping on writing these, they're very interesting! Things with a lot of mass like trucks and trains command a lot of respect from/scare the poo poo out of me so it's really surprising how many times treating it casually and being complacent seems to be a factor in accidents.

That’s also why cats tend to look like laser monsters when you photograph them with a flash.

As a matter of fact... wiki posted:The Moon is spiraling away from Earth at a rate of 3.8 cm per year.[11] This rate has been described as anomalously high.[15] Tidal forces do weird poo poo with orbital dynamics; the tl;dr is that the earth is gradually being slowed down as it spins underneath the tidal bulge of the ocean, and because momentum is conserved, this makes the moon revolve faster around their common centerpoint. Faster objects orbit farther away, so as it gains that momentum it moves out. Turns out there's a lot of weird poo poo you can find when you precisely measure things you assumed were unchanging!

E: ^Yup, the culmination of a series of changes as we pegged it to ever more precise things that we later realized were changing. Electrons in the ground state of cesium-133 oscillate the same no matter where or when you are in the universe, so it's an unchanging standard. As far as we know. the moon's an arrant thief/ And her great height she snatches from the earth Fender Anarchist fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Nov 6, 2018 |

Crazycryodude posted:Isn't the modern definition of a second something to do with a cesium atom now? Yes. Specifically, it does something that emits radiation at a very specific frequency, and the second is 9 192 631 770 times that amount. Why 9 192 631 770? Because that was as close as possible to the old definition of the second.
