Amazing. Really interesting to see how difficult it appeared to bring the thing to a stop when only one engine is available for reverse thrust. It looks like they had the thing cranked to the left when they touched down.

ijustam posted:Big fail, indeed. I'd like to imagine that the neighbors are inside trying to watch tv, rolling their eyes as the annoying neighbor with the loud car revs his engine again. The husband instinctively leans forward, reaching for the remote to raise it up three clicks when they both hear a loud THUNK, followed by the familiar nuisance noise stopping. They run to the window like children looking for Santa just in time to see the smoke begin pouring out from under the hood of the neighborhood travesty, and exchange a mutual grin before settling down to finish their viewing of whatever happened to be on TBS at the time.

When he came home on break, he noticed that the oil light was on, and asked her how long it had been that way. "Ohh, that's what it was. I was trying to figure out what the little magic genie lamp meant"

I spent two summers working in a distribution warehouse. One day, someone loading up a truck accidentally nailed one of the truck tires with the fork of a forklift. The the force of the bang blew out one of his eardrums and threw him against the back of the cage. A fully loaded tire busting loose will fuuuuuck you up.

It is, and I've seen people get pulled over and ticketed for it, but it's fairly rare. Immediately following snow, there are a lot of tank commanders out there, driving around with only a small section of their windshield cleared off.

Itd be super easy but once the audio been all compressed and what not I feel like it wouldnt be nearly as accurate. Not to mention no idea on he quality of that mic for the gun's frequency range. Yeah, I was watching it just assuming they'd bust out some sort of numbers at some point. Without a reference, it's just like showing a picture of a room with no windows and saying "look how bright it is in here"

Liquid Communism posted:Ever speared something that was charging at you? Trust me, you don't want to be holding whatever you pop that with, as it's going to be going the opposite direction at a high rate of speed shortly. When I worked in a warehouse, a co-worker popped the tire of a fully-loaded truck with one of the blades of his forklift. It basically blew him out of his seat and gave him permanent hearing damage. We all thought a propane tank or something had exploded.

FatCow posted:I was once in a room with enough flywheel UPSs (Flywheels hooked to generators) to power an 11MW datacenter for 16 seconds. I was fairly terrified. I'm not entirely sure my city is aware of how much mechanical energy is being stored in that building. I've been in a room full of these, and it's a weird feeling. It's almost like being next to a freight locomotive but without being able to see or hear it, you just get a sense that there's a huge amount of energy and motion around you.
