Wanting a jetpack I understand, but I mean why not just buy one? Probably cheaper than designing your own.

Because JET PACKS MAKE PEOPLE loving CRAZY.

It's a podcast, so allow me to summarize: People do progressively insane things over a jet pack, including kidnapping and murder. This is a real thing that happened. It's the rocket belt that was actually used in Thunderball.

Yikes. Comments say he jackknifed earlier, which broke all the air and electrical lines, which is why his trailer brake was stuck on and no trailer lights.

Volcott posted:

Apropos of nothing, my mom mysteriously lost like 95% of her sense of smell like 15 years ago, and refuses to ask her doctor about it.

Loss of smell (partial or complete loss, sometimes just the inability to sense one specific smell, sometimes the inability to detect a particular smell in one nostril but not the other, sometimes permanent loss and sometimes just temporary) is called anosmia and there's a huge list of possible causes. Some of them aren't all that scary (allergies, antibiotics, overuse of nasal sprays) but most of the things on that list are pretty serious.

If she just suddenly lost most of her sense of smell with no other symptoms or obvious external causes such as head trauma it could have been a minor stroke or Bell's palsy or an early symptom of Parkinson's or Alzheimer's or a dozen other things that might need to be addressed.

His pal is obnoxious as hell. I don't mind having a second person contributing and make some jokes but his lovely hot takes had more air time that the actual story. gently caress that oval office.

I'm pretty sure that's why she doesn't want to talk to the doctor about it. Because until the doctor says the word cancer, it's not real.

You probably wouldn't like the Dollop in general then, since the format is basically 50/50 interesting story/Gareth playing dumb and becoming increasingly incredulous at the story's escalation.

I don't think the military is using DJI Phantoms. There are drones that can lift 500 pounds (i.e. 1.5 goons)

Probably a dummy though.
