A reporter and cameraman gets too close to a capercaillie, a grouse infamous for being territorial and aggressive, and get thrashed:

These assholes will fight anything, including vehicles. They will wait by the roadside and rush right into/under passing cars.

How the gently caress do they ever manage to multiply?

My second favorite rear end in a top hat birds, the hisssssss sound is hilarious. There's a loving million of them in the parks around here during summer and they get really aggressive.

I drive to work at night, and 2-3 times a week I have someone dressed in all black jump in front of me out of nowhere, forcing me to brake full force to avoid hitting them. It's definitely shithead kids doing it on purpose because they run away laughing every time.

If I get a dashcam, can I start running them over? Or do cameras just get you out of the insurance fraud part and not the vehicular manslaughter part?

Even if you could've done nothing, you're still pretty hosed. There have been a couple of incidents here with rear end in a top hat cyclists running reds, getting crippled/dead and the driver of the car has almost always been hosed to some degree though there's very little he can do.

Generics can have a minimum of 80% of the effective ingredient of the drug and that percentage can vary from batch to batch. If you have a life threatening illness or have seizures a generic can be ineffective because of the dosage. My brother nearly died because a hospital gave him a generic instead of the "name brand" stuff.

Most of the time generic are perfectly fine though.

The benzo thread in tcc is hilarious. Every few pages someone will go on a batshit rant about getting generics instead of their namebrand benzos while the rest of the thread tells them to shut up and stop abusing.

The funniest thing Re: TV licensing was when the inspector came by the student housing. The entire campus went into full wartime lockdown in less than a minute because gently caress paying a fee that meant one less case of beer a month.

e: getting out once you were signed up used to be a huge pain, at least in Sweden. Until recently you actually had to snail mail them a signed form saying you no longer own a TV, then they called you a couple of times to guilt you into paying before you were out. At least they asked you who you sold/gave the TV to so you could get them to bother someone that deserved it :haw:

One time I woke up to what sounded like a baby being murdered in my living room. I ran downstairs to see that my cat got his back leg stuck in the window blinds and was shrieking in terror.

He would ferociously scrabble along the back of the couch, which would cause him to swing up almost to the ceiling and then pendulum back and zip off the other way, spraying a rainbow fountain of piss the whole time like a sprinkler head that had been smashed by a lawnmower. I guess the freude is where I was completely drenched in cat piss and deeply gouged by claws while having to cut down my blinds with scissors.

This is literally youtube millionaire material if you still have the cat and $20 to get another set of blinds.

Most locks aren't really supposed to make whatever you're locking up completely secure, they're supposed to make it prohibitively time consuming or difficult without specialized tools. The number of crooks who can pick a hardened lock at all is way lower than the ones who would rather just prey on the ones that can be rapped open in 5 seconds.

Last time lock chat came up in this thread someone linked an interesting article about people stealing bikes and it basically said that. If your lock is some combination of time consuming and loud to break, people will go for easier loot.

Bears.mp4 right here. They're large and a little slow, but they're not that stupid. Apparently, timber companies in the Pacific Northwest have been having an issue with bears who've learned how to strip second-growth trees for their sugary heartwood (which usually kills the tree). It's a learned behavior that a bear figured out sometime in the past 30 years and has since spread to virtually every bear that lives in or near timberlands.

He is an international trade lawyer with an undisclosed severe mental illness. when he was off his meds he would self medicate with booze in the hovel, and when things were going well he was in his more put together home. Its way too deep to be a joke, like any time you get a glimpse into the other rooms of the hovel, there is way to much crazy going on to be something he did as a joke, without the conclusion still being that he needs help at least. Like there is a desk with hundreds of books on it all stacked so you can only see the pages, not the spines, and its only ever shown like once for 2 seconds.

This is more like bitcoins than actual money though. It's the same skins with an almost fictional value getting passed back and forth. If you try to cash out anything actually "valuable" it involves a lot of effort for a fraction of the value in cash. And if more than a handful of people tried that, the entire market would explode in a second.

Just like bitcoins.

There is a little bar about a mile and a half from me, that has been opened and closed at least 6 times that I've noticed since I moved here, 11 years ago. It's kind of amazing.

I think every city has one of these. The one here has been rebranded at least 5 times in the last 10 years while being in a a++ location (next to the biggest hotel in town, in the same building) Before the rebranding circus started, it used to be the place where local alcoholics got drunk and it was packed 5 days a week.

e: They also used to sell lovely beer somewhat cheap and had live music every day of the week. It was a good place :(

drat, how the gently caress did that happen? I've messed around with PoP for years and yes, it gets hot but it doesn't get THAT hot. Maybe there's different grades of it or something?

Full disclosure, I've never been dumb enough to insert a body part, but I have held it while it cured to make an impression of my palm. Didn't end up with 3rd degree burns or anything. Wondering how much damage was caused by the people whaling on the poor girls hands with hammers trying to break her out :(

Core temperature is very different from surface temperature. It also reaches peak temperature around the time when it really starts setting, aka when she was stuck.

If you really care, you can easily find graphs on concrete curing that shows this.

It made a "small spray of champagne" mess, not a "all of this keg of beer is draining out at speed" mess. Most beers in kegs like that aren't very heavily carbonated, so it wouldn't foam out for long. Unless you didn't turn it upside down, in which case gravity, as always, will gently caress you.

Here's a fun exercise. Take a big soda bottle, fill it with water, punch a hole in the bottom with a screwdriver.

Notice how the it doesn't drain nearly as fast or violent as a CARBONATED KEG.

Huh, guess it's different here in Chicago. Unless a train literally barrels through O'Hare International Airport it's usually only delayed a couple hours even if someone is hit and killed. Then again I'm no CTA delay expert so it may be the same thing here and I've just never experienced it.

It very much depends, but I've experienced someone getting run over actually resulting in less of a delay than a sighting of someone on the tracks.
