The word part of my brain is stupidly refusing to play nice with my picture brain part. Could someone provide some sort of diagram as to why putting the trucks on backwards switches the turn angle? I'm asking this unironically, I'm actually kinda confused here and want to learn more.

I've never been on a skateboard but from looking at pictures of one I assume it's like this amazing ms paint I did


If I'm wrong then I guess the Schadenfreude is me.

How much do the individual teams earn?

Here's the breakdown of the winnings from last year's International which is the big Valve-sponsored Dota tournament. Individual teams can earn quite a bit, if they are literally the best in the world.

1st Place
$6,634,661

2nd
$2,856,590

3rd
$2,211,554

4th
$1,566,517

5th-6th
$1,197,925

7th-8th
$829,333

9th-12th
$221,155

13th-16th
$55,289


The team that took first says they took $8,650,381.68 in 2015 in total so the International was obviously a large chunk.

How many are on each team? 5 players, 2 backups, coach / manager, so I'm guessing 8?

1st place - huge amount of money
7th place - great livable wage
9th place - poverty wage
13th place - hobby income

So all of 64 some-odd people can do this for a living.

That's for a week's "work".

Kangaroos are incredibly stupid creatures, they'll stand at the edge of a straight road for ages and watch a car drive towards them and then they'll hop out at the last second and get hit. Now if they were small critters that would be one thing but a fully grown kangaroo will always destroy a car.

(CNN)With just 36 days to go before the Rio Olympics kick off, the situation in the host city just went from bad to worse.

A beach goer Wednesday discovered mutilated human body parts that had washed up on the shore, right in front of the Olympic Beach Volleyball Arena on Rio's famed Copacabana beach.

A dismembered foot and another body part still unidentified was found, according to Andre Luiz, an officer of the Military Police. Police believe the victim was a woman or young adult.

Although the circumstances surrounding the person's death are unknown, it is another embarrassing blow to the host country -- already reeling from financial problems, a mishap-prone Olympic torch and an outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus.

Stealing from the OSHA thread:

Remember that Chinese lane-straddling bus that absolutely, positively could not work and was very obviously a scam?


Turns out it was a scam.

It's been left abandoned in the middle of a road, which is now blocked off and taking up three lanes of traffic. They can't get hold of the managers of the project, and it sounds like the company leased that track of road until September 2017 so it's just living there until then, when some poor city workers will probably have to scrap it.
