These are legit terrifying to me. I can't help but think that some living thing must inevitably have been thrown/fallen into one at some point.

In high school, we watched a documentary about foot-and-mouth disease. Disposing of the (already dead) infected animals involved a machine very much like this. Because of the rounded shape of a scull, the blades couldn't get purchase on the head, so the severed head just kept spinning on top of the blades until all the flesh had been pulled off.

I didn't eat meat for 2 years.

Holy gently caress. I never realized they'd gently caress each other up so much. I mean, I knew bulls could kill each other in competition, but never appreciated just how violent the contests could get until I saw that.

I'm not sure if it works differently for moose than it does for deer, although I assume not. The antlers bleed a lot when they're being shed (every year) whether they've been fighting or not.

That's the driver's blood types isn't it? If they got in a severe enough crash where you had to know their blood types right then and there, you'd think the car would be so badly crumpled that you wouldn't even see it. Kinda pointless in my opinion, put that poo poo on their helmets or something.

Racing cars nowadays are pretty safe places, because they have roll cages and special crumple zones, etc. Back in the '80s, none of that special safety equipment really existed, so it didn't take much to kill a human; we're pretty fragile.

Real edit: After reading the wiki entry for the movie, covering yourself with a piece of paper could really help with burns from the blast. So i guess you could live a day longer if you did it.

On a related note (and because it really is a bad-rear end picture), this woman was a victim of Hiroshima:

I went to a junior college that was entirely brutalist, it was like that Seinfeld ep where Kramer wanted to make his apt. into levels but all concrete and on a much bigger scale.


My high school had a new building put in that was brutalist, and 1 storey taller than any other buildings in the school (most were single storey, only a couple were 2-storey). To make it look less harsh, they painted it purple and lime green. It was hideous.

Have you ever had part of your body removed (wisdom teeth, appendix) ? Ever asked to keep them ?
Because I asked to keep mine, and the answer was a resounding "No, that's a biohazard."

I'm sure blue whales are gentle giants, but I owned a silver arowana and let me tell you something about fish(or possibly whales). The don't need to be aggressive in order to attempt to eat anything that can fit into its mouth.

A blue whale can't swallow anything larger than a grapefruit. So I'm not sure what exactly happens to things that would go in its mouth but not be small enough to swallow. I guess you'd just get spat out.
That does not mean that you wouldn't get hurt during the process.

Phar Lap (the Australian race horse) had a heart 1.5 times larger than a regular horse, and I believe that's what made him such a good runner.

Is it wrong to think that Le Pen's failure may have at least partially been due to people who were on the fence about electing a white nationalist "fascist lite" seeing what happened when America did it and not wanting to pull the same stunt?

I think this is a very safe bet. The US is very much the world's current example of what not to do.

Fair enough.

Heard on the news that there is already a protest against Macrons potentially "expansionist" economic policies planned for this week.

They interviewed some people who were organizing it and they said they all voted for him so that Le Pen wouldn't win.

This is pretty much how the French election system works. In round 1, you vote for the candidate you want. In round 2, you vote against the candidate you don't want.

At the gym I go to, they often put videos of cycling (tour de France, bmx, etc.) on the tv in front of the stationary bikes, with a little indicator in the corner of the screen showing changes in speed/intensity; the idea being that you speed up when the cyclist in the video does, increase resistance for hills, etc.
And then there's a video that's like a best-of cycle ball compilation. Like watching a bunch of guys hop around on one wheel is supposed to somehow help you achieve a better work-out on a stationary bike :confused:

Anyway, that's my story. Thank you for your time.
