Those are brush pants. Yes, usually nomex, but they're not firefighter turnouts or anything. And even turnouts will gently caress you up if you douse them in loving GASOLINE. Those are basically station pants.

(I sold my pair for like $180 on craigslist to a ranger rick-type when I quit the ambo)

I found the highest-resolution version of this photo I could find, then ran it through waifu2x (a neuro network photo upscaling...thing) to try to make this a bit bigger.




I did the same to the quad bike photo:



This particular neural network is run mostly with animu pics (as evidenced by the url), so it tends to do better with animation/illustrations versus photos. You can tell that it did a really good job with the blue sky and the high-contrast faces in the bike photo, but pretty poorly with the gradients and shading of the quad bike photo. However, on the quad bike photo, it did really well with the front tires and the shadow, like you'd see in illustrations. The first photo, at first glance, looks very good. However, you can see that this particular neural network upscaler, after being trained on illustrations for so long, is loving some stuff up, like the people's mouths. I think it may have been applying some sort of "blacken pupil"-style algorithm, because it made all of their mouths round black holes, like they were eyes.

I have held a half-empty beer bottle with my mouth before while grabbing something with my hands. While I have never driven drunk, I assume that other people have done similar.

Keep the dream alive.

Tamiflu is bullshit though and I guarantee (with my Internet Doctor Degree) that she wouldn't have ended up any different had she taken it, except maybe constipated which could have actually worsened things.

It's been many years, but yes.

I was laying on my side in bed listening to music (Crystal Method: Vegas) on headphones while tapping my fingers on the bed in front of my face, watching my fingers crossfade and bleed between optical frames with trippy colors. Except the lights were off in my (at the time) windowless basement, and there was no music and oh god I'm going to die

I bought $20 "worth" of Telcoin because it seemed like a fun distraction, and it was only $0.007 a coin. "Surely a sub-cent coin can't go lower."

It spiked to $.0014 and i had a laugh logging in to check on it for a few days. Then it crashed to $.00025. I've gotten a few hours of entertainment and got to play pretend stocks for a few weeks. A nice lunchtime distraction watching it go up and down.

It's all a ponzi scheme but I think I got my $20 worth of entertainment. Time to log out forever and frantically try password recovery questions in 10 years when I'm a billionaire/homeless.

When she noticed the semi coming up on her over her shoulder (not the mirrors, because her car is askew rendering them useless) she probably couldn't anticipate whether it was going to be an offset hit like it was, or a direct hit that could have turbofucked her even in the passenger cabin (but probably not). It was most likely a quick glance after her wreck, then a second pause while the reptile part of her brain went "oh gently caress Oh gently caress OHFUCKOHFUCK" and she made a move.

I'm not praising it, but not condemning it, either. No blame given based on the circumstances. Just a bad situation all around. And the way her car whipped back into the cab of the semi, she probably avoided quite a bit of lateral g's and injury to her head/neck from the snapping and hitting the glass.

Not double but it has been about ten years.

I also got into my electrician (PCB-repairer) father's cabinet and tried a shot of his etching alcohol (denatured). I wonder if that's the cause of my constant headaches all this time? To be honest I don't know if the everclear wasn't worse.

oh yes that's the one where the two-year-old is inadvertently put into her fertile cycle by a tachyon storm or whatever and she has to mate with someone or die

He's not joking. I don't know this, because I only watched what I thought were "a few" episodes of Voyager as a child (stopping when they all got infected with those flying helicopter bugs that are like the enemies in Hyrule Field in Ocarina of Time), but that is Kes and she only lives for seven or nine years or something.

Yeah, it's like dog years for humans. "She's only 2 but they only live until they're 7 so basically she's 20 if the average human age is 70."

I don't have anything new to offer, but thank you for reminding me about that cop. Watching him cry and snivel and keep bringing his head down to the table as he's sentenced to over 250 years in prison, and the attorneys just dutifully take notes, is really excellent and I forgot how much joy it brought me.

The way he tears up when it shows the loving industrial tractor bearing used for the gigantic fuckoff gear makes me think it was a product comprised 100% of "cousin Charlie" contracts. You know, "Cousin Charlie owns a machinist shop on hard times, other cousin Andy owns a PCB outfit overseas, let's get them both millions of dollars of business making something that doesn't need either."

Phanatic doesn't have any idea how the system can work, unintentionally or not, against someone. To make this clear, he argues against attacking Nazis for being literal nazis. Or, he sympathizes and only knows how to use asterisks like a neckbeard *nuzzling you* in an attempt to throw the trail. Either way,

Get hosed Phanatic.
