Acrobats schadenfruede: My school spends an inordinate amount of money trying to attract performers. Consequently, we managed to get an actual Chinese acrobat company to come to the States to do a show. I'm not going to lie, they pulled off some pretty amazing stunts, but at the same time, I've never seen so many little Asian people eat so much poo poo . I guess the tradition is that if you gently caress up the stage performance (which invariably happens), to just do it again. They had one dude absolutely gently caress himself up on a very high hoop they were trying to backflip through, they dragged him off stage.

Staryberry posted:A nearby high school thought it would be hilarious to put goats on the roof of the high school. They wanted the goats to be safe, so they put leashes on them and tied them to the roof. Unfortunately, the goats were too close to the edge of the building, and by the time kids started showing up to school, there were dead goats hanging from the eaves. It's wacky enough that I don't think it happened. Then again, in my high school, a group of seniors were so successful at simultaneously detonating stink bombs that half the school's classrooms were unusable for about two days.

Stoatbringer posted:When I was in chemistry class in school we were melting wax in crucibles over bunsen burners. One kid's crucible caught fire, so he threw water on it. Some Crucibles cannot be washed because the water will gently caress the ceramic (forget the exact reason why) and make it crack when you get it hot enough. We had a lab wherein we heated elemental Magnesium up for a long time (basically making a ton of MgO for no good reason) and one of the student's crucible shattered, leaking molten magnesium all over the desk. Thankfully we were using less than like .25 grams so they were able to dodge out of the way of it, but the bunsen burner's plastic sheathing melted to the desk. Best part of that lab was lighting off hydrogen gas inside of a graduated cylinder. Makes a hell of a pop.

Post-celebration 'fruede is funny too. When I was in high school, I would also hold my breath during lifts. End result was blood in my stool from burst capillaries in my intestine. Don't hold your breath!

The actual reality of game design is that the standard "you are a camera on a model walking around a level" causes motion sickness in VR. Most games that tuned toward VR have the player character sitting in a car/fighter cockpit, so as to avoid motion sickness. Consequently, you're literally spending 600 bucks for gaming system that will only enjoyably play racing games.

Lucid Nonsense posted:It is nice to hear that some Russians, when involved with a violent accident, still show some emotion other than complete indifference. Maybe their poverty stricken lifestyles and vodka soaked brains haven't severed them from humanity yet. It's the culture more than anything. In most places in the world, smiling is part of a pleasant conversation. In Russia, smiling unbidden is seen as a sign that you're an idiot. I can't really describe just how fundamentally different Russians are to Americans. Russians are kind of like anti-Americans. Pretty much every value that Americans hold dear, well, Russians hold the opposite view. Americans like democracy? Russians like authoritarian governments. Americans believe in self-determination. Russia believes in self-determination...of other Russians. Americans strongly believe in the individual identity. Most Russians have the opposite view. Plus, most people alive in Russia right now lived through the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the '90s in Russia were baaaaaad. A Festivus Miracle has a new favorite as of 05:52 on Jan 7, 2016 |

RandomPauI posted:So for the woman getting her knees bent backwards, did the guy adjust the weight on her or something? No, the way you use the machine is to avoid locking your legs out. Normally, your quadriceps take most of the weight, and being the massive meaty muscles they are, don't have issues. Once you lock your legs out, your quadriceps are no longer involved in holding up the weight, leaving the majority of weight on your ACL. In her case, this resulted in her leg folding in one itself like a piece of paper ().

A good friend of mine comes from a white-trash family almost exactly like the people in the video. Every time she goes home and comes back, every story she has usually involves her fighting with her mom or her sisters. Like, goddamn people, you'd think after ten years of arguing with zero result, they'd learn how to communicate, but no. It's just one vicious cycle of teen pregnancy, huge trucks, handguns, and no secondary education.

Testekill posted:Staffordshire Bull Terriers (Staffies) get a horrible reputation also which is completely undeserved. They were originally bred as bull fighters and were used for dog fights but every Staffy that I have ever met has been the happiest little idiot. From what I have heard, the big thing is that poor owners train them to be aggressive and Staffies just want to make people happy by obeying them. Of course they're also often stolen because they're just too friendly and easily adapt to changing house. Yeah, definitely this. Staffordshire Terriers are too nice to be guard dogs. They just don't have the temperament, even if the owner treats them like poo poo. My parents have owned Staffy's most of my life and every one of them has been a 60 pound sweetheart. Cythereal posted:I think the conclusion is that a shittily raised example of a less-aggressive breed will still be a bigger shithead of a dog and more dangerous than a well raised example of a highly aggressive breed. I think part of the reason that toy dogs end up being the most aggressive is a combination of a lack of training and admonishment. Instead of seeing a barking Chihuahua and smacking it on the nose, everyone just kind of hovers over it and giggles at its impotent rage.

Crossfit is a great way to gently caress up your back. Carnival of Shrews posted:Lots of films and TV dramas need a newborn or even premature baby, which used to lead to scenes in which a new mother tenderly cradled a substantial infant at least three or four months old, bundled up look as tiny as possible. As soon as animatronics got good enough, people tried creating mechanical babies (here's the same one with skin on it; not too bad if it only has do a few seconds' worth of close-up, and make a few small movements): This may be the wrong thread for, but fukken proclick right here.

Come to think of it, Obama is roughly as qualified for the SCOTUS as Elana Kagan is/was. The precedent for appointing former presidents to the bench is htere (Howard Taft, who famously loved being in the SCOUTS far more than being president), plus, you can't really argue that Obama doesn't understand the law - he literally spent 8 years implementing it. Fingers crossed that the next 10 months mobilize the democratic party base. I registered to vote the day before Scalia died, and now it seems, It wasn't such a bad idea.

chitoryu12 posted:Is there just a switch you flip to make an elevator go backwards that someone bumped into? Elevators are equipped with a pair of brakes that slow down the bottom ends of the rotating belt, so that the its not uniformly quick. If it was, getting onto an elevator would be an extreme sport. Anyhow, you can see there's about 40 people piling onto the elevator - shock and surprise, elevator brakes ain't made to hold that many people, so the breaks give up, and the rotating belt gets pulled downward by the weight of the people.

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.

What a pretty way to destroy your head gasket. Content: I was out digging soil pits with our crew for our capstone project. These soil pits are about 2.5 feet deep, and we dug them pretty wide. While going back to fill in our pits, I wandered upon this puddle, and decided, in my water proof boots, to jump in it. Turns out our old pit had filled with groundwater. Nothing like freezing cold snowmelt to the balls at 8 am.
