Captain Beans posted:Is the thing metal? Wouldn't that still annihilate your rear end even if it wasn't super waxed? Yes, and it gets extremely hot in the summer too! She noted that the off-kilter railing has been that way since like the 70s and still hasn't been fixed. Apparently the only way to go down the slide is to lean forward and keep your arms either crossed over your chest or tightly down against your legs inside the sack. This centers your gravity enough and keeps you stiff enough to minimize airtime. If you don't, regardless of how waxed the slide is, you'll go tumbling down like these guys.

Rigged Death Trap posted:You have 2 dogs in 1 Technically he's 5/8 Corgi, and equal parts Australian shepherd, Shetland sheepdog, and American Eskimo. He really just looks like like a corgi painted like an Australian shepherd though. Definitely is a clever little poo poo like my friend's American Eskimo, but that doesn't come across in most pictures. Here he is curled up on a blanket he has claimed because it has corgis on it:

KoRMaK posted:holy poo poo dude got an adhoc lesson in how to safely get away once you already committed to wrestling the gator 2 more things. 1 minute in does he throw goop at the phone cam person to make them stop? What does she say at 2 minutes in? Sounds like "You're not bleeding are you?" but he seems confused.

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:2 more things. I think he’s throwing his sunglasses and phone out of the water, and it does sound like she asks if he’s bleeding. I didn’t watch the interview posted about it but it looks like she’s got a protective glove on and wasn’t pierced, so she knew she didn’t put any blood in the water. If he was bleeding it might have been more difficult to scramble out without the gater going nuts.

If he was bleeding it might have been more difficult to scramble out without the gater going nuts. Gators aren't sharks, they don't go after blood in the water. It's all movement and reflex based because they're ambush predators. They can't breathe underwater ie can't smell under it either. Basically as soon as something touches their tongue they snap shut - including a drop of sweat, a thread of clothing, whatever. Though interestingly their jaw strength is all downward. Single roll of duct tape can keep their jaws shut because the opening muscle is way weaker. Sorry for gator nerding but might come in handy if you ever wrestle a gator

Projectiles are not rifled so they are innaccurate, and come out pretty slowly. You got to start somewhere but I'm not sure where the tech will go. I assume we need better power storage and delivery to give it a lot more oomph.

Let's say they get to the point where they're as powerful and accurate as modern rifles, what is even the benefit? I guess you could carry more ammo right, since you don't need any propellant, but like... is that even worth the effort?

You got to start somewhere but I'm not sure where the tech will go. I assume we need better power storage and delivery to give it a lot more oomph. The simple fact that the chemical energy density of current gen propellants is so far beyond what we can get out of even the best capacitors, let alone batteries, makes electrical weapons a dead end -- and that's before you look at cost. Smokeless powder is cheap.

Massive velocity with low ammo weight means each soldier can shoot farther and carry more. In theory.
