Watching F1 qualifying and two questions asked by two separate presenters to drivers:

quote:

...can yourun me through a qualifying lap?..

Cue the driver basically trying to make 'drive really fast' sound interesting

quote:

...are you going to have to pass people in order to move up the field?..

Again cue the driver trying to string out an explanation that's simply 'yes'

Why is sport commentary so loving awful at times? Most football matches I watch have the commentators essentially saying 'to win team x needs to score more than team y' and I'd rather just have the loving crowd noise than that level of idiocy.

Thomas Edison really did electrocute an elephant to demonstrate how AC current was unsafe (granted, he fed the elephant 6600V, which is ridiculous overkill). Plus, he shot video of it: :nsfw: obviously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoKi4coyFw0

I saw this when it came out a few weeks ago when it was shared over and over on my Facebook. For whatever reason the vast majority of MLM's seem to reside in Utah. Including, but not limited to DoTERRA, Young Living, NuSkin, XANGO, Life Vantage... I appreciated the heck out of that video, but his video on Gluten Intolerance was just this side of perfection that mastered the craft. Quote of the video "Gluten is the new animal you don't have to eat" :master:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oht9AEq1798

I feel like the line that follows shortly after that one is better...

quote:

...being gluten intolerant is the perfect opportunity to assert your dominance on the lives of everyone around you, which improves your life. So if you're ready to have a ravenous appetite for impossible standards and dogmatic feelings of victimisation, then let's get started on what you need to do to become gluten intolerant.

I mean that's it. Done. Anything after that is just the icing on the cake. Which is gluten free.

I enjoyed it, but I was already a fan of the franchise from waaaay back. I felt that the movie pretty much captured the tone, feel, and very much, the vibrancy of the cartoon. I think that's what they were really going for. The bright colors and sheer lunacy.
Come to think of it, I don't think I have that on Blu-Ray. I need to fix that.

I have two copies on blu ray yet don't own a blu ray player... Weird but true. Should probably fix that.

My in laws are from Leicester and the last time they were out here they were saying how they need to move to Canada because "there are so few Muslims around." I thought about reminding them about how they are just as much immigrant as the muslims are, but I don't think it would have mattered.

"they need to stop coming over here pushing their laws on people!"

The protein shakes are to keep what muscle mass you have while the rest of you disintegrates I'd imagine. Everyone should lift a thing though, I've caught myself looking forward to going home to the gym while I'm at work. poo poo's weird.

It's amazing, these like, kung-fu monks make this fifty-foot tape, like a cloth measuring tape but it's kelp, and you swallow it over like three days then you start to, ya know, pass it, then you just slowly slowly pull it out of you over three more days

I may stab the next fucker to come in here tonight and throw a bitch fit that I won't return their obviously used parts. You stuck the battery in a vehicle with high compression and a high and ran it down while trying to crank it. gently caress you, you installed the shoe and drove on it for a month before saying you didn't want it, and its missing half the hardware kit. gently caress you, you were told there was a freight charge you old bastard, quit being a complete shitheel.

I worked in a place and experienced similar things. I also worked in a bike shop for a couple of years and that too was an experience due to lovely customers. One time a guy brought his kid's bike in to have the gears looked at, I told him it'd be a few quid and to leave it with me for a couple of hours as I had other things to attend to. I cleared my backlog of stuff and set to work on the bike and found that the derailleur hanger was bent, the frame being steel meant this wasn't an issue so I broke out the adjustable spanner and gently teased it back into place and checked the gearing. While I was checking the gearing I decided to look over the whole thing and found the rear wheel had no real spoke tension which in my experience would suggest the kid had been jumping the bike a lot. I took the wheel off, put it in the wheel jig and went to work tightening it up and it was slack as gently caress. I sorted it, gave the guy a call and he came to pick the bike up. I charged him for the gear adjust and then said I'd done the rear wheel for free as the kid obviously jumped the bike and bikes are fun so whatever. It was at this point the guy got really loving angry that I'd suggested his kid did anything other than keep both wheels on the ground at all times... This turned into a shouting match that was eventually broken up by the manager.

I did something for free and got shouted at. People are bad.

Any excuse to get race cars on the streets is a great excuse.
