BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

mom and dad fight a lot posted:

When you work with something as sexy as bombs, you don't measure anything. You show everyone that you know your poo poo and tell them the answer on the spot. As soon as you start measuring, you introduce errors like unit conversions:

Look buddy. I gently caress my wife, okay? So I'm not double-checking poo poo, like some limp-dicked square. America.

The Gimli Glider had multiple mistakes. A math error, plus a busted fuel gauge, not checking the drip tubes to verify the fuel load, then another conversion error. It was the fault of many people.

The pilot and co-pilot were blamed. Fortunately, the captain was a glider pilot for fun so he was able to put the plain down.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

I think the obvious answer is that you should quit your job and open a pallet jack skate park.

Just wait until you find out about my unsafe game that I just made up yesterday.

Full contact golf using pickaroons. Helmet would be a good idea, but soft body armor only. I'd be amenable to shin guards. Grind a putting side and a driving side onto the pickaroon. One ball, two players. No hockey stuff, you have to take a proper swing so you will need to down your opponent before hitting the ball. Not dead, badly hurt is OK though. Course is 150 yards, open field. No par, just first person to get the ball in. You could drive the ball all the way to an inch of the hold but the other guy knocks it in. He get's the point.

It's probably not safe to go over 5 points to win.

This game is based on the old game of full contact golf I used to play with a friend. For that, I preferred a 9 iron and he liked a 7 iron. I think the game would be much more fun with pickaroons though.

Remember, not the really spikey kind. The kind that has a 90 small hook on the end. Don't want it to be too dangerous.

230,0001 U.S. Bridges Need Repair, New Analysis of Federal Data Finds

  • 46,000 Are “Structurally Deficient” and in Poor Condition
  • NYC’s Brooklyn Bridge and D.C.’s Theodore Roosevelt Bridge Make List
  • National, State and Local Data Available: artbabridgereport.org

The inevitable Roosevelt Bridge repair/replacement is a commute nightmare. It represents about 25% of the lanes into/out of DC from Virginia. Brooklyn bridge may be even harder to deal with, I could imagine.

I had the misfortune of spending a couple years in the general DC area and every time I looked at a road map I just got pissed.

It is loving insane how few good bridges there are across the Potomac. You've got 495, then you've got the Roosevelt bridge, then a bit south of that you've got 395 and eventually 495 again. Between 495 and Roosevelt you've got a couple of tiny things that don't cover gently caress all for traffic, and if you want to go Virginia <-> Maryland it's the northern 495 or bust. Your choices if that's blocked somehow? Drive through DC to get on Roosevelt (lol) or hook WAAAAAY the gently caress out north of goddamned Leesburg where there's a state road that goes over it.

Build a couple loving bridges between Maryland and Virginia! The Civil War ended 150 loving years ago, the Union isn't going to invade if you invest in some extra routes across the river.

It is just insane that 495 is basically the only option for going between two states that neighbor each other without making hours-long detours.

Hey there's also a ferry that only sometimes gets loose and floats down the Potomac (and remains closed due to a land dispute last year)

Even having a crossing at Leesburg would be substantially better than where the bridge actually is, twelve miles north of the town and in the wrong direction.

I hate this.

I was a warehouse manager for quite a few years. I had to yell at people for doing exactly what I wanted to do. I really wanted to ride pallet jacks. I loved riding pallet jacks. I know how to use my weight to ride a pallet jack by shifting your weight back and forth. You don't even need to put a foot on the ground. I can do a really cool "like a glove..." parking trick while riding a jack like I'm Ace Ventura. I'm talking a rear drift, not swing on the front where the steering wheel is, I'm talking drift the lifting forks. I really like riding pallet jacks. I was a bad rear end on the stand up rider (powered pallet jack). I wanted nothing more than to screw around.

But I had to tell everyone that they'd be fired for doing the thing I liked doing before work or after everyone went home.

Also, it's really stupid dangerous. Don't do it. Even though it's incredibly fun. You mess up, you get bucked off, you hit your head on a post and now you're dead. You step off and run over your foot. Now your foot is broken. You knock over skids stacked 4 high and you're crushed to death and no-one finds your corpse until morning.

Still, it is really fun doing skater tricks with pallet jacks. It should be some kind of X-Games event or something.

I'm telling ya man there's got to be a shut down roller rink in your area near a lot of warehouses. Charge a meager admission fee after the customer signs a lengthy release form. Make most of your money off concessions. It would be a quirky fun after work or date locale like those axe throwing places.
