tyre cage: A thing you shelter in when inflating tyres. They can find their own place to hide, or has something else gone wrong here?

He's not inflating a tire, it came off a semi and through the wall.

I was about to get on you about posting an obvious fake but then I scrolled down.

A Cessna collided with a parachute at a small airport in Polk County, Florida, on Saturday. The plane took a nose dive, and the skydiver was thrown to the ground. Neither the pilot nor the skydiver were seriously injured when they fell about 75 feet, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

Why even give insurance in flood plains?

If you live inland near a river, everywhere is a floodplain. St Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis, New Orleans, all in flood plains.

I don't know about in Australia but when a river goes from 22 to 53 feet (~30 foot/10 meters difference) everywhere is a floodplain.

I know a guy that tried to jump onto a train going 15 miles an hour. Being a double amputee at 17 is pretty terrible.

This is maybe my second favourite sign acter the "frogs!" sign or whatever it is because what the gently caress am I supposed to do if a rock falls on me or so close to me i can't brake and how has the sign helped? There might as well be signs every 500m saying "Warning: possible hazards".

It's so when you get killed by the aggro crag your family can't sue because it's your own drat fault.

Is there a reason the bus didn't stop next to the curb? Because that seems loving duuuuuuuumb to even leave that space where someone can pass.

Probably a parking area or something. Regardless you're supposed to stop for school buses.

Pop goes the weasel when you fill a house like a methane balloon and light it.

I'm on my phone and searched 'meth explosion' to compare with Magikarp's shed picture, and this residential scene came up. I can't follow google image results to their source from mobile google.

I looked because that story of someone's boyfriend working on a lawnmower sounded fishy. Because it's always the boyfriend cooking meth in the shed.


This is a meth explosion.

All TV is fake. Also someone post more osha poo poo and less "lol here's someone being killed in FRONT OF YOU VERY EYES".

So what you're saying is that the nations of the world should be looking to employ cricket bowlers as grenade trainers? Because if so , and you can get Murali involved, you can add "magically make a grenade appear behind the enemy" to Blistex's list.

Admittedly wars would take a lot longer and there'd be a lot of arguments about polishing the grenades, but that's not such a bad thing.

I'm not sure throwing a grenade into the ground and hoping it will bounce is a good idea.

A hundred million is pocket change compared to what the government wastes on boats and planes.
