I'd be as angry as this guy if I knew everyone filming my rage quit would do so in vertical. How is it that easy for that to fall over? Shouldn't there be a ton of counter weight in the base to keep it all on the ground? Is that a discount Harbor Freight forklift or something?

ymgve posted:Was on a flight where some did that and the stewardess became pissed. Full on SIT YOUR rear end DOWN NOW angry mode. The last flight I was on, I was amazed how bad people were at not standing up after landing. We landed and stopped; seat belt light still on. People immediately got up and started grabbing overhead stuff and whatnot. Pilot comes on and says we don't have a gate, please remain seated. We move a little closer to the gate and stop. People again get up and start shuffling about. Once again reminded to please stay seated. Rinse and repeat a couple more times. I'm just a passenger and I wanted to shout back at people to just sit and be patient. I don't know how the crew are able to restrain themselves from yelling at all of the idiots who can't pay any attention at all.

Ceiling fan posted:I pulled my backup hunk of metal out of my fob and locked the rest of the fob in my trunk. I didn't want to risk dunking the delicate electronics in the fob in saltwater. When I got back to my car, unlocked it, and pulled the trunk release lever, my car accused me of gently caressing it. My 20-year-old truck has a key pad on the door. I just throw my keys under the seat, lock the door, and then use the 5 digit code to unlock my vehicle when I've returned from the beach. My keys are also ~50% smaller than those giant combined fobs I've seen (at least, the Jeep ones). Technology

dphi posted:https://nypost.com/2019/08/22/video-shows-moment-man-crushed-by-elevator-at-manhattan-promenade-building/  Maybe it has desensitized me, but FWIW, I was in the audience for the Defcon 22 elevator talk, and that loving thing gave me nightmares that night (and, among other unrelated things, did not make for a fun flight home). This video is not good, but far from the worst, IMO. Still just additional reasons for me to do more of a leap than a step out of elevators, though.

Nth Doctor posted:Out of curiosity, I went and found the intersection. There was no sane reason to take a semi through this and attempt a turn. God I hope that's not actually a truck route. I live on a (residential) corner that's part of a truck route where they routinely come through for similar left turns. Luckily, we don't have people parking on the shoulders. I can't imagine trying to get through there. Victim blaming: Do New Yorkers routinely park over the Stop line/in the cross walk?

Mr. Apollo posted:Samsung had a "satellite" (not really, just a satellite looking thing that was carried high up by a weather balloon) built so you could send your selfies into space. The balloon popped and the "satellite" came crashing down to Earth and landed on someones farm. They didn't where they couldn't because they Samsungn't. Varkk posted:Shortly after starting high school one of the older kids came off his motorcycle and slid some distance along the road. He was wearing full protective gear. He stood in front of a whole school assembly and showed everyone the big hole worn through his helmet. Then policeman reiterated the message, buy good safety gear, always use good safety gear. This is why Helmets are mandatory etc. When I was in elementary school, they had a bike safety week where they tried to teach kids to wear helmets and whatnot. This included a thing where kids were encouraged to make posters or something promoting helmets/bike safety, which included prizes for the best submissions. I entered something I made and, basically, I learned that helmets and hand signals are dumb, but if you make a poster about how they're good you can get a gift card. Essentially that, and not wanting helmet hair, is why I don't wear a helmet while bicycling. If I ever got a motorcycle I'd still probably not wear a helmet, so as to not gently caress up my hair, and just avoid crashing. I probably won't get a motorcycle.

oohhboy posted:Why is gender party even a thing? On top of that they keep getting more and more over the top. Letter opening, popping balloons, fireworks, high explosives, water bombing. What's next? Dropping 2000lb bombs, A-10 strafes and drone strikes? Facebook Aunt had a good response; mine is kind of a more neutral version of devil's advocate. (Note: this is pure internet speculation). To me, it seems like a fairly natural evolution if you were to look at the "it's a boy!"/"it's a girl!" banners that people would put up, and then ask "How can I make this more interesting/unique/fun?". This kind of aligns with how the original one regrets it. The Ruflux posted:I'm more concerned about the "left turn yield on green" sign. Surely that should be self-explanatory, unless it's a green arrow light in which case what the hell I love that the city I live in uses flashing yellow left turn arrows. It's so nice just letting the turn lanes yield and then turn if there's no oncoming traffic. MononcQc posted:One of the ironies of automation has always been that you tend to automate the easier stuff first, so when you fall into dangerous situations, you're usually thrown there on short notice, with an eroded skillset you haven't had to practice in a while because it is only useful in rare emergencies. This is why I'm vocally against self-driving cars and poo poo, and will do my damnest to never get in one. Besides being a software engineer myself, and therefore never trusting other software engineers with my life, this lack of practice seems very dangerous. I can't find the exact article I'm remembering but there was one that really explained the issues of alarm fatigue and skill atrophy that could occur with people ignoring false positives and just not practicing skills like driving. EDIT: oohhboy posted:Eh??? Why would some third party get mad about someone announcing what equipment the baby has? It has nothing to do with you. Making a party of it is increasingly dumb, but when did "It's a boy/girl!" become bigotry? loving hell America. It's "anti-LGBT" because you're parentsplaining the child's gender when sex does not determine gender.

Go Gators (clips)! PurpleXVI posted:RE: Self-driving cars, I think the only way you'd really make them work is if you entirely separated the automobile and pedestrian/bicycle travel networks, so pedestrians could cross over or under roads and never be at any risk from cars(pedestrian tunnels and bridges, essentially, rather than zebra crossings). If they only had to deal with other self-driving vehicles, all communicating, and perfectly marked travel areas, I believe self-driving cars could be more effective and safe than human drivers(plus then I could just tell my car where to take me and get a nap), but the road network where self-driving cars work perfectly is vastly different from the road network that we currently have(or likely ever will have). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDOI0cq6GZM Platystemon posted:Yeah and it’s not isolated and it will murder you as happened to that one woman in Australia. quote:“The voltage seems to travel up through the faulty charger into her phone and she was wearing earplugs and also operating a laptop which was also plugged into a power point,” Ms Collins said. This one seems like a weird "perfect storm" situation. Am I understanding this correctly that, essentially, a bad phone charger resulted in too much voltage (or electricity quantity, because this was my weak area of physics) going through the charger and phone, into her, and then to out through her touching her laptop?

If it weren't for the few scattered concrete blocks to the right of the truck, and the broken parts of the wall on the top left, this scene almost looks completely fine; I'd think I was just looking at a building that had a truck-sized doggy door where they just plow through and it opens upward to let them pass.

Cojawfee posted:I stopped watching his videos because he went from sort of interesting projects to "WOOOW I'M SO WACKY! Here's something dangerous! This week's video brought to you by some huge brand, they gave me thousands of pounds to make a gun that shoots flame throwers at orphans!" His (on-screen) personality is annoying, but I must admit that definitely I wish I was him when it comes to skills and tool inventory. His (again, on-screen) behavior may be unsafe, but he definitely embodies the mad scientist aesthetic that I, and presumably millions of other people, have wanted to have. Even if they're WACKY things, all of the ones I've seen still require an impressive amount of skill to make. I'm not looking for Youtube fame, but drat I loving wish I could make the type of poo poo he can.

Megillah Gorilla posted:I stopped watching Furze after the beach hut video. How bad of an idea is this, really? I started this video assuming there were going to be rooms spread out beneath the surface (as in, rooms with sand above them); since this is all straight down, it seems far less absurd. From the video, it's clear the plywood is taking some pressure, but can anyone substantiate how bad it is? Is a 12ft deep hole actually too much pressure for plywood?

What the gently caress was he hoping/expecting to happen? "I'll just disconnect this big rolly thing on a hill and hope it won't roll anywhere." Given the previous jokes, do trailers have similar air brake systems as trains where it should break when disconnected from pressure?

I'd recommend checking out some free font websites like Font Squirrel or FontSpace. Maybe try a font that has, for lack of a better word, a "biker" aesthetic to it, like this one. Also, it never hurts to throw in some skulls, angel/eagle wings, crosses, or ribbon banners. For further inspiration:  a friend of mine recently received a spam email for t-shirts etc customized with your family name; these screenshots are both hilarious and may help with design ideas.

I'm almost certainly stating the obvious here, but one of the bathroom's in my parents' house has a setup like the bottom three knobs—I think it even used the same faucet knobs—which was a fairly sane [cold water - tub/shower - hot water] configuration. The other two knobs makes no sense, yet now I really want to know what they do.  Sinkholes are definitely among my worst fears, and it's good to know that a truck can just lay them upon a road like a loving episode of Looney Tunes.
