Don't know why, shooting the pilots up through the spinning rotor seems like an awesome idea!
The Russians actually do have helicopters with ejection seats. The rotor blades have explosive bolts on them because it is indeed a bad idea to eject the pilot through the spinning rotor.

I agree. Clearly not a real snake.

Elon Musk wants to do intercontinental ballistic passenger service, you can probably send some pizzas that way too!
I'm really looking forward to a future where US and Russian radar operators have to figure out if it's the LAX-Moscow 10:35 or a nuclear attack on a daily basis.

Saw a story in the papers here in Sweden about a guy who was killed a work when the trench he was working in collapsed. They included a picture he took before the accident. Shoring is important folks.

A photo taken a week before the collapse, after the prefabbed bridge was placed onto the support pillars.


Holy poo poo! I'm no bridgeologist but that looks like someone involved should go to prison.

If your reaction to being startled while driving is to swerve into a motorcycle alongside you, you don't have any place driving. And if you are driving and you do that, you should be prosecuted.
Yeah, I’m no physics professor but I’m fairly sure that a motorcyclist kicking your car isn’t going to do poo poo except give your car a dent at worst. The guy on the bike should get a fine and the shithead in the car should get a bit of jail time.

Burning couches after football games is OSHA af.

I wish I could find a gif from a pregame show where people were lifting up a couch and someone fell off. The couch was not (yet) on fire.
I read it as coaches first and was pretty horrified.

That's just because the US is stupid. The British immediately absorbed the Wotan lesson and all of their Cold war projects were a random color plus a random word, like Blue Peacock (nuclear land mine)

Still too easy that figure out that one. Blue like Cherenkov radiation so it involves nuclear stuff. Peacock means there’s a bird involved so probably a chicken. So logically it would be some sort of chicken-heated nuclear weapon. Which it was.

Or China. Why is that by the way? Did they just pick up a bunch of machinery on the cheap when the US and Europe switched to stay-tab?
