I think it was over 30 steps to get my car to stop automatically unlocking the doors when the gear selector is moved to park. Heaven forbid I sit in a stopped car without unlocking the doors so any random rear end in a top hat can come pull the door open. I'm not even sure what the point of that "feature" is since the doors already unlock on their own if you pull on the inside door handle.

I have a minor eye condition that requires me visiting the eye department at the hospital for a checkup every 6 months. I've been going since 2000, long enough to see plenty of new equipment introduced. A few years ago the doctor, a man then in his early 60's whipped out some new laser doohickey. As he was setting it up I idly asked him what was the most significant change he's seen in his career. Without a moments hesitation he replied 'Mandatory Seatbelts'. The change in the law was made here in the UK in the 80's. He went on to explain when he was a young man working in a London Hospital he and his colleagues would have to rally round, sometimes multiple times a week to try and save the eyesight of some poor bastard who'd gone through a windscreen. In the finest tradition of medical black humour these procedures were known as a 'Horrorectomy', inspired by what somebodies face looked like after having been thrown through a glass panel at 30mph.

The rear doors have the usual child safety lock levers, operating completely separately from the regular door locks.

He was a Canadian stuntman who was always trying to beat Evel Knievel's reputation and he spent 5 years trying to get his biggest and best stunt financed and promoted. Things went ...... not great. This documentary is 100 minutes long but it's got some world class schadenfreude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5WCpFY0PE Snowglobe of Doom has a new favorite as of 15:24 on Feb 19, 2018 |

Is that better or worse than motorcyclists being known to the medical community as "donors"? e: Does the word "donor" look wrong to anyone else, or am I just having a weird day?

All the cars I've seen that do that only let the front doors unlock automatically when you pull the handle. Anyone in the back seat still needs to unlock their door properly.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Professional mascot costume heads are made out of special foam which breathes really well (it's similar to the filters in airconditioners, really open and light) and often have tiny fans built into them but yeah, they still suck a lot. Another common technique is cool packs, vests, etc. It can sometimes be more weight but price you pay I guess.

Stories like these are great and I wish we heard more of stuff like to prevent hurting ourselves. I always wear safety glasses when doing anything with an electric drill - even 'safe' stuff since a couple of goons related anecdotes about drill bits breaking and flying into their faces.

Transmogrifier posted:Another common technique is cool packs, vests, etc. It can sometimes be more weight but price you pay I guess. My best friend has been doing costumed characters since before she was 18 and currently does quite a few at Universal. Many of them have electric fans, but she also has tremendous stamina so it doesn't bother her much. She does say that all of them are very different in terms of design and comfort, like her Minion doesn't have moving arms so she's just bouncing around on her feet with her arms inside the body. Because of her experience, she's able to do some things that costumed characters ordinarily "can't do" like climbing stairs without help.

If you bandage it and pay attention to the skin, clean and disinfect regularly with new bandaging you should be fine, even if the wound was procured under less than sanity circumstances (like say, branding). This person has straight-up neglected this wound for it to get this infected. How are they not smearing it in honey right now? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOZS65MT8bI

CYOA schadenfreude: they are introducing a DNA emoji... but it's twisted the wrong direction So either laugh at the designer because they hosed up or laugh at NNNNEEEEEERDS taking this too seriously: https://twitter.com/klmr/status/963376661046624256 https://twitter.com/antonioregalado/status/963175936932892672 https://twitter.com/mbeisen/status/963262706676523013  Nobody tell them that the phone manufacturers / programmers actually implement them and can fix it for their version e: maybe these guys aren't that detail oriented   e2: that was fast! They're getting it fixed, along with making the skateboard more real and putting the correct number of legs on the frikkin lobster  https://blog.emojipedia.org/skateboard-dna-and-lobster-updated/

I thought he was collecting a papaya at first. Their sap burns, so I could understand using a bag to pick one if you're delicate or something. But then he started trashing it and I was real confused for a second.

There'd have been people taping and posting that if even half of that was true. And then a picture of some woman talking on a phone with no cops around at the end as "proof" just screamed made up to me. I'd probably believe it more if that wasn't included. kinda like this crap: http://www.somedaily.org/young-woman-who-was-getting-harassed-while-jogging-is-saved-by-the-most-unlikely-hero/ Solice Kirsk has a new favorite as of 21:50 on Feb 19, 2018 |
