Cojawfee posted:People hunt deer with rifles ceremonially, does that mean that rifle hunting is a myth? This is a false dichotomy and you know it. That'd be like saying because we observe humans hunting animals with rifles in the modern era, we must've evolved to throw bullets.

Moist von Lipwig posted:This is a false dichotomy and you know it. It's not a false dichotomy. People hunt for sport to celebrate how their ancestors once survived. Guns have existed for hundreds of years. People hunt with guns because their father did, and their grandfather did, and his grandfather did. There's no need to hunt for food when you can just buy it in the grocery store. Do you seriously think people in the Kalahari desert persistence hunt because they heard some urban legend?

Moist von Lipwig posted:It's a thing that is possible at a net energy loss, not as a sustainable hunting practice or as something humans "evolved to do" as it is commonly stated. What do you mean by "net energy loss?" Doesn't that depend heavily on what you end up catching? I have never persistence-hunted an animal myself (imagine that) but the techniques I can find described involve chasing an animal for about 6 hours at a brisk jog until it's too tired to run any more. 6 hours of jogging is totally doable by a person in decent shape -- it's only a little longer than the average marathon time -- and at the end of it you get an antelope or whatever. Unless you somehow burn more energy in jogging 6 hours than you'd get from eating a whole antelope, or you can't take the meat back with you, I don't see how that amounts to a net energy loss.

Powershift posted:Based on how stripped out the front end is, it's probably either a drag truck or a pulling truck, likely making in the range of 1000hp/2000ftlbs. I'm guessing they were dynoing it when it ran lean and POOF. You can see that' it's strapped to the ground, obviously for a dyno. So, if these guy were dyno-ing a truck, then why were they rolling coal? isn't that a bad thing to do to a performance engine?

Rad-daddio posted:So, if these guy were dyno-ing a truck, then why were they rolling coal? isn't that a bad thing to do to a performance engine? Running rich with a diesel makes the most power. It's also a lot safer for the engine because they're probably already dealing with 1500 degree EGTs already and running lean would start melting stuff pretty quickly. It's harder on the engine, but engines like this see far more frequent rebuilds and oil changes, so coking and such isn't as big of an issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygbVUEn_mHc Keep in mind this is producing 1000+HP and running at full throttle, not the brotrucks you see on the street blasting black smoke to pull away from a stop light at the speed of traffic.

That video is fantastic (dragster pulls up sounding like a tractor) (staging lights, turbo spools up like an F-16) (light goes green, car takes off with an exhaust plume that would shame a train) (cameraman zooms in but clock is entirely obscured by smoke before the car's even crossed the line)

If you’re going to be out on a runway, it’s probably best to make sure it’s closed first. https://www.instagram.com/p/Buj8Ec_h9TF/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=6rooul7f39qf

I remember when Sam Azarian's brother was killed in a trench collapse. Sam is a hell of a nice guy but their company always cut corners to make a few extra bucks.

Platystemon posted:The toilet specialist was the guy who flooded the ship. In his defense, he was only called in after the captain tried to do it himself and hosed it up. https://uboat.net/boats/u1206.htm posted:On 14 April 1945, the boat was quietly cruising at a depth of 200ft only 8-10 miles off Peterhead, Scotland, when the commander, Kptlt. Schlitt, decided to use the toilet without consulting a rating trained in its operation (the procedure was complicated). Something went wrong, and when the specialist arrived he misunderstood the situation and opened the wrong valve, which resulted in large quantities of seawater entering the boat. The water reached the batteries directly under the toilet, causing the production of chlorine gas, and the boat was forced to surface immediately; unfortunately right underneath an enemy aircraft. The crew managed to clear the gas by blowing clean air into the boat, but were at the same time bombed by the aircraft, causing extensive damage which left U-1206 unable to dive. Considering the hopeless situation, Schlitt had no choice but to destroy the secret material and order Abandon Ship to save his crew. (Brennecke, J. (2001). Jäger und Gejagte)
