I have a strangely specific phobia about deep water and that sea wall is a perfect example.
Outside of actual nightmares I've never seen something exemplify it so "well"

That one and another one posted a few days back make me feel the same way:


Weirdly enough, I don't even care about the ocean in real life, but one of my common recurring nightmares is being stuck somewhere by the ocean while bigger and bigger waves start coming in and washing over everything. Including one where that earlier video was one of the first things I saw after waking up from it :tinfoil:

That one doesn't bother me for some reason.
I've not been in the ocean much but was actually fine on the few occasions that I was. At least until I was in Greece. The beach gently sloped down for ages and suddenly dropped like a fucker into a dark and suddenly freezing abyss. Very upsetting.
Jesus, why am I doing this. It's nearly 5am and I'm too scared to sleep, lol.

Going to watch some log splitting machines to relax now.

Fly cutters are naturally really sketchy because if theyre not tightened correctly the cutter head or the insert flies out at 70 metres a second and makes a new ventilation hole in your VMC, or if youre unlucky, you.

Here is a video of the gate falling a month before the accident. You'd think that a simple stopper could have been fashioned in no time by a company that prides itself on rapid iteration. I assume he didn't die since there are no news articles about it.

This reminds me of that one MythBusters episode where they tried to test the "myth" of pissing on an electric fence, and said things along the lines of "obviously this myth is false because, as everyone knows, piss just dribbles out of your dick as a couple sad drops and would never be able to make a coherent stream" which is hilarious to me, as my piss has a strong continuous laminar flow for the whole distance hog-to-toilet

I'm fascinated by the idea of space emergency services. Are they also true believers like the AI coders so they accept all sorts of bad poo poo from the company? Do they try to innovate their services?

More likely it just runs over the victim, especially if it's a child.

"Previously, there have been accusations of malfunctioning brake pedals in Tesla cars.

However, Tesla responded to these complaints by stating that their vehicles do not have any unintended acceleration."

Honestly like 90% of these "out of control" incidents, regardless of car make, are the result of the driver confusing the gas and brake. As the car accelerates they panic and stomp down harder on what they think is the brake pedal and keep going until they crash. That or the pedal really did get stuck down, but it was because the driver took off their shoes and one rolled underneath and got stuck, or they put in an extra thick rubber floor mat, or something.

I wouldn't doubt that Teslas do go out of control more than other cars, even when they aren't on autopilot, but yeah the safe bet in every one of these situations is driver error.
