Slung Blade posted:One of the old guys who works the blacksmith shop with me in irricana on special events used to feed one of those when he was a kid. He's in his seventies now so I think it's been a thing earlier than the seventies. Early torpedo boats, which were bleeding-edge tech back in the 1880s, usually wore out their hulls before their machinery. The hulls were scrapped and the engines and boilers ended up powering dockyard poo poo.

veedubfreak posted:I was thinking about this the other day when a brotruck was searing the back of my head with his headlights. How is this even legal to have a vehicle where the bumper is at the roof line of most other vehicles on the road and the headlights are at eye level. I think it's one of those cases where the law code hasn't caught up to the depths of human idiocy yet. Like how Washington state didn't have a ban on bestiality until the Mr. Hands dude filmed himself getting hosed to death by a horse.
