One thing I dont get about that gif is if the pressure is so intense why doesn't it bend that spinning blade? The blade looks fairly thin, maybe its just made of diamond or something?

That looks like a guy caught in a triangular room going for the spear so he can kill the menacing skull, while dodging arrows on bungee-cords being dropped from a ceiling fan.

the man is in a pyramid tomb and snakes are pouring out of a fan-shaped hole in the wall. he must grab the spear to defend himself, or he will end up like the previous intruder.

Woops. I mean, there isn't actually any chance of this damaging either the armored vehicle that hit the cargo truck, or the cargo truck itself.

Still, I'd rather my nuclear transport convoys were as careful as they possibly could be.

i just hope the truck driver is a better driver than the guy behind him

3 deaths in 6 years is practically zero, given than 50,000 people die there every year.

You're in the region of 'death by otter' in terms of likelihood.

cut out cancer and heart disease and 0,5 deaths per year becomes a lot more significant

You're right. If we eliminate the two largest causes of death then most people won't die anymore.

point was that if it's not 'death by otter' you're pretty likely to get a full lifetime. that's why those uncommon CODs are notable.

I remember reading a book that had a section on dowsing when I was a kid. It wasn't a "how-to", it was more of an explanation of how it works. It's not supernatural, it's purely an external way that your subconscious can signal your conscious. If you have no experience in finding water, it doesn't work. When your experience tells you that water should be here, the rods cross. Some people use a plumb-bob, some people use a crooked stick. Sometimes your conscious mind gets in the way and wants you to believe that water is in place "X" when your gut is screaming at you that it's in "Y".

Many, many years ago, my great-grandfather could not find a place to drill a well on our farm. He'd drilled all over the place and found nothing. It made no sense, but water was not to be found in the usual places. He finally hired a Witch and he found water on the first shot in a bizarre rear end location. The well is in a place that makes absolutely no sense. It's not paranormal, it's just skill.

Dowsing for pipes is ridiculous, it's just guessing based on where you'd put them if it was you.

holding both these positions at once seems, uh, inconsistent.

half of a ten mile drive is within five miles of where you set out from. you'd have to to drive quite a lot of long trips for that 5 mile area to be a minor portion of your travel.

I love the old man who's more concerned with his finger that got pinched, instead of the guy who straight up fell from what is essentially a 2nd story landing. He literally makes zero effort to hold the ladder - you know, his only loving job.
