Before the obviously :aaaaa: ending, were they practicing using each other as shields?

If I had to guess it's to stimulate a line army musket rotation and give the shooter time to reload and look around while still having a firing position, but it looks goofy as hell. Wonder who thought that looked cool and said "ok we all need to learn to do this asap, even though it involves rotating someone down range of a live firearm while spinning in circles."

Uranium hexafloride is much heavier than air, so it would run downhill and pool in depressions like super-radon, then turn into highly toxic grey crystals. It will also react with water to produce hydrofluoric acid. We should probably stick with the steam turbines

Of course, as MisterOblivious already pointed out, these days 'technical riders' and 'artist riders' are usually separate things, and most big shows are built by IATSE union members and permits, who don't gently caress around. Bad poo poo still happens though, like when you hire Optex instead of the union, and the stage collapses and kills your drum technician

It could be worse; the production company could have hired Crew One.

My only true, genuine phobia (as in, makes me feel nauseated just thinking about it) is being in a small boat, or possibly no boat, and then being next to a very, very big boat. This was an incredibly intense video.

I kept thinking that he should just turn and go perpendicular to the right but I have no idea if that actually works.

If your boat is small enough could you just use a big stick or something to hold yourself away from the huge ship?

I have this too, and I've talked to enough people with a similar fear that it must be a documented ___phobia of some kind. It's very unsettling thinking about what might be just under the waterline.

Yeah, it's this. It's a standup style ski, so it's harder to balance, especially with big waves like that, but nothing that couldn't be avoided if they turned. As soon as you kill the engine on one of those you are going in the water one way or another.

There are many problems with that that genius is doing. The first problem is being in the same space as large ships in the first place.

Large ships can not see you, neither visually nor on radar. They can not stop. But they travel along predictable routes, so if you are in a tiny dinky ship, you don't go close.

If you get this close to a ship, you have already hosed up. Your next objective is to get at least 200m clearance because those things have heavy turbulence behind them and you don't want to be anywhere close. It will also suck you in towards the hull when you are too close and it will likely be covered in barnacles that will flay you to the bone.

Do not get close to large ships, just don't.

I think what OP is trying to say is if you see a large ship you want to steer towards it at full speed then jump off so you can be sucked towards the hull and flayed by the barnacles underneath. I would only add that it might be a good idea to apply some meat tenderizer and seasonings to your skin beforehand

In late 1983, California state senator Dan McCorquodale, offended by portrayal of OSHA as a villain in the game, sent a complaint letter to an Emporium-Capwell store in Santa Clara, California, accusing the game of being "anti-worker" and of skewing the public perception of the federal government. As a result, six days later the store pulled Hard Hat Mack from the shelves.

That's even dumber. Large ships do not produce appreciable waves (a pilot boat has a larger wake than the ship it is delivering the pilot to), and you don't have to be close to jump them, and…

I hate assholes like this. Navigating is usually pretty chill since everyone has enough time to plan ahead, but then you get chucklefucks like this guy making it stressful.

Video surfaced on Friday (Aug. 27) showing 15 high-rise buildings pulverized into dust by massive explosions in Kunming, the capital of China's Yunnan Province.

On Friday, 15 high-rise towers that were part of the Liyang Star City Phase II project and had been sitting unfinished for eight years were demolished with explosives. The demolition, viewed by tens of thousands of onlookers, took 45 seconds to obliterate 1 billion Chinese yuan (US$154 million) worth of property...

Construction of the 15 towers on the 340-acre property was started by the Kunming Xishan Land and Housing Development and Operation (Group) Co. in 2011. The project was divided into four plots identified as A1, A2, A3, and A4.

However, due to a lack of capital, the Yunnan Tin Industry Real Estate Development and Management Co. took over the project in 2012. Due to various factors, construction was halted again in 2013.

Although work was continued on buildings in A2 and completed in 2015 (one year behind schedule), work on the 15 structures in A1, A3, and A4 never resumed. The government attempted to restart the project by listing it on the Yunnan Provincial Property Rights Exchange.

On Dec. 29, 2020, Yunnan Honghe Real Estate Co. purchased the rights to take over the project for 979 million yuan. According to Min News, the buildings were marked for demolition because the development could no longer meet market demand, and the long period of neglect had allowed rainwater to flood the foundations of the buildings, inflicting irreparable damage.

Applying the seasonings to your skin is rather pointless since that skin is going to be removed in the drowning process anyways. Honestly, you'd be better off eating the seasonings and maybe chasing them down with a sauce of some kind (worchestershire is my preference).
