I'd suggest having the volume at normal levels for the opener, cause drat it's worth it.
What is that dude at 4:42 who just straight-up jumps off a roof onto asphalt even trying to do? The only I can think is he's trying to parkour down onto the handrails and misses them by a lot, but even if he hit the rails that's still too far of a jump to walk away from. He's almost as bad as that girl who jumped off her roof and missed the pool, but at least she had an excuse.

From what I understand this was possible in older cars, but modern ones with aluminum engine bits heat too fast. I think the idea is that if the aluminum gets hot enough to spike the temp on the gauge then by the time you can get the heat blasting it'll have already gotten too hot and the small amount of heat you are able to dissipate with the heater won't save your engine.
Nah it still works. My car (which also incidentally doesn't have a temperature gauge) had some cooling fan go out a few months ago, and whenever I sat idle in traffic in hot weather the overheating dashboard light would come on. If I turned the heater on it would go off after a few minutes. It might vary by car and what's causing the overheating of course.

This isn't exactly schadenfreude, but it seems to go a level beyond the funny news article thread, and we don't have a thread for plain old idiots. It's a criminal getting his comeuppance, so I figure it kind of fits here.

OCTOBER 5--In a scene deserving of a “Yakety Sax” score, a 350-pound Florida man ran from a Walmart with two stolen TVs...

...

According to court complaints, Columbus Henderson fled from a Walmart Supercenter in Fort Lauderdale on September 26 with a pair of 40-inch Hisense televisions. Henderson... bolted with the merchandise after he allowed a cashier to scan the $298 items.

As he scooted through the parking lot, the 45-year-old Henderson’s pants “fell off as he ran away,” according to Officer Scott Brandow. It appears that after Henderson’s pants fell to his ankles, he proceeded to run right out of the garment.

Police later determined that Henderson’s abandoned pants contained the suspect’s “medical identification.” Investigators added, “The entire incident was captured on video.”

...

Upon arrival at the Pinellas County jail, Henderson informed officers that he had a crack pipe concealed in his anus. “When officers removed him from the vehicle, the defendant had removed the crack pipe from his anus and dropped it on the ground,” a patrolman reported.
I really hope someone leaks the video.

Even if you got it up there, your proposal isn't how orbital mechanics works. You can't just "nudge" something into the vast empty distances of space. If something is in orbit of the Earth and you push it away, it'll still be orbit of the Earth. Just a slightly different one. If you "nudge" it hard enough that the Earth is no longer the main gravitational influence, it'll still be really close to the Earth's orbit of the Sun.
You can totally get stuff well away from the Earth, look at the Voyagers. We can shoot stuff away from Earth and manage to get it to buzz Pluto, we can certainly hit "nothing" a lot easier. But still, it's unfeasible expensive, and requires hanging around above Earth an uncomfortable amount of time for the gravitational slingshot.

Also it'll come back in a few hundred years as a giant space cloud looking for its creator, only this time it'll be radioactive too.

Enough about kiddy-loving.
What's that, more about kiddy-loving you say? Two women called an Uber to drive them and their underage sex slave to a meeting with a client, discussing it pretty openly in front of the driver. They were quickly arrested.

Avila said the girl who rode next to him in the front seat appeared to be about 12 years old and was dressed in attire that was not age appropriate.

“She had a really short skirt," he described. "So, you could see all her legs, and it struck me as odd because she was so young and she was dressing like that."

Two women rode in the back. Elk Grove police identified them as 25-year-old Destiny Pettway and 31-year-old Maria Westley.

Avila said one of the women controlled the young girl, whom Elk Grove police describe as a 16-year-old runaway.

While the teenager’s attire caught Avila’s eye, he said it was the discussion between one of the women in the backseat and the girl in the front seat that caught his ear.

He said the woman in the back coached her for her hotel visit with a man identified as 20-year-old Disney Vang.

Avila said the woman told the girl, "'First thing you want to do is ask: Do you have any weapons? When you're hugging him, just ask, do you have any weapons? Pat him down. Pat him down while you're hugging him. Get the donation, first. Before you start touching him, going in there, get the donation first.'"
Guess they should have held out for one of those driverless Ubers. And Disney Vang probably isn't the Happiest Man in Elk Grove right now.

I wonder if flat earthers will finally disappear once commercial space flight becomes more affordable? Climbing everest is like $40,000 and people are literally lining up to do it. Going to space for a few hours and taking selfies in front of a window with Earth in the background is bound to become the new middle class aspiration if the price ever drops below $50k. Or will the conspiracy theorists just double down and insist those companies are fraudsters and the whole trip takes place in a simulator?
You can already see the curvature of the Earth from any flight long enough to warrant a high cruising altitude, so probably not. I don't think they have an answer for that, other than vague mumblings about optical illusions or something. And I doubt most flat-Earthers are going to be in a position to drop $50k in their lives.

In related not-schadenfreude-just-sad news, Rush Limbaugh is urging his listeners not to believe that lying mainstream media that Hurricane Irma is a thing.

quote:

“These storms, once they actually hit, are never as strong as they're reported,” Limbaugh claimed on his syndicated radio show. He added that “the graphics have been created to make it look like the ocean's having an exorcism, just getting rid of the devil here in the form of this hurricane, this bright red stuff.”
...
"Well, the TV stations begin reporting this and the panic begins to increase. And then people end up going to various stores to stock up on water and whatever they might need for home repairs and batteries and all this that they’re advised to get, and a vicious circle is created. You have these various retail outlets who spend a lot of advertising dollars with the local media."

Police: 19-year-old tried to kill infant niece by lacing breast milk with Excedrin

Woman decides to poison her brother's 11-week-old daughter as a way of getting "even" with him. Brags about it on her cellphone to her boyfriend. Gets caught red-handed, milk is tested and proves to have lethal dose of Excedrin crushed up in it, (Mom found the bottle and never gave it to the baby, baby is fine) now she's on the run from the law and wanted for attempted murder.

quote:

The toxicologist told investigators that the milk contained the equivalent of nine Excedrin tablets, enough to kill an adult, the Journal Gazette reported.

Yeah I know too much of pretty much anything can kill you, but I thought one of the things that separated over-the-counter from prescription was that unless there was some outside intervention the body's reaction was to puke all the pills back up before you could process enough to kill you. Like once you started getting sick from the pills your body would just "Nope" them all out of you, and you'd just end up with a hosed up liver for the rest of your life.
