dying from smoke inhalation because my floor is on fire and the only egress to ground floor is a staircase being used to stress-test 40s and I am too preoccupied cheering for Steel Reserve to descend

Captain Hygiene posted:Sparklers should be banned because they're disproportionately dumb and boring compared to the bodily dangers they pose. At least the explodey kinds are gonna do something cool while they hurt you That may be the correct opinion about sparklers and how insanely loving dangerous that is that sparklers were considered a "young-child's firework." That is, until you learn about the glory of a "sparkler bomb." Google only wants to tell me about people arrested or maimed by sparkler bombs. That's how you know they're cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJEe8LFtD4o&t=42s (scroll back if you want to see how one is assembled) So anyways, I've been shopping at my dad's high-school buddies' fireworks stand my entire life. They basically sell me poo poo at cost so I'll buy entire cases of stuff like sparklers and bottle rockets. If you're still a young goon go get you a case of sparklers this weekend. It's the 4th! Ignore the social nervousness and just go up to the counter of the shack* and be like "how much for a case of sparklers." *: If you're buying your fireworks from a store rather than some shack you've already made several mistakes.

Hydraulic Press Channel built their own carbon fiber subs. I get the feeling HPC's testing methods are more rigorous than Oceangate's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQGDwE3yMb0 "The water was able to go in.. Which is not optimal on a submarine."

I mean, yeah, it does make it to the bottom. I don't think most empty bottles would.

wesleywillis posted:Those birds wanted your dick. Wistful of Dollars posted:
They would do this mating dance to us all the time where they would drop to their knees, fluff their wings out to the side, and then bob their head left and right. They would then check if we were doing anything about their dance, see we weren't responding, and then get back down and do it all over again. We had peacocks too and their mating dance was actually pretty cool but they at least had the sense to never try and shake our tree. They all eventually got clipped by foxes. They thought any piece of shiny metal or glass was like magic and were entranced by it, often trying to steal my glasses. They also thought anytime we ran by their enclosure we were issuing a personal challenge to them to race (which eventually we would do for mutual entertainment) and would run to the end of their enclosure to make sure they won. They were entertaining and unique and fun, but they were maybe the dumbest animals I've ever encountered. I had a tarantula that was infinitely smarter than them. The ostriches all eventually died by slipping on the ice and breaking their legs.

MisterOblivious posted:That may be the correct opinion about sparklers and how insanely loving dangerous that is that sparklers were considered a "young-child's firework." Years ago, they changed something with how sparklers burn so they don't turn into a IED when wrapped in tape. Maybe there are some brands that still work the right way, but it was pretty disappointing that you couldn't turn a few bucks of sparklers into something that sets off car alarms. That video is just a jet of fire, sparkler bombs were incredibly loud and made an impressive shockwave. It did get to the point where every store in town pulled electrical tape from shelves.

Someone successfully escaped from east Germany back in the day with this technique. The DPR checkpoint used a pole at windshield height as the barrier gate. They cut almost though each pillar of their car, floored it and ducked.

Take off the windscreen and the whole thing fits under.

I don’t understand people who shoot fireworks off during the day unless it’s like bottle rockets you’re trying to hit other people with.

I've heard from restaurant folks phone in the fryer is pretty common and to this person's credit they didn't instinctively try to grab it with their hand.
