The thing people always forget when talking about suicide cords is that if you're using it as an adapter to plug in your xmas lights because you strung them up backwards... that means you now have an exposed hot male plug at the other end just hanging in your bushes somewhere.

monolithburger posted:Speaking of watercraft, saw this on the Reddit front page today.  Given that that they show it completely submerging, that means the cabin's got to be airtight, which really makes me wonder about failure modes and how you're meant to escape if the engine/electronics die or if your propeller gets stuck in weeds or something like Tintin did.

that F-35 "crash" in the mediterranean appears to basically have been the plane slowly driving off the end of the carrier and then the pilot ejecting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpcD2yPg3Go https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/11/29/british-f-35-crashed-sea-failing-take-leaked-video-reveals/ quote:Howard Wheeldon, an aerospace and defence analyst, told The Telegraph: “There is a saying in the military ‘lift is a gift, thrust is a must’, and I'm afraid clearly he had no thrust.”

orange sky posted:This entire video - stick with it (or just jump to 8:00). 😬 Even ignoring possible structural issues with an abandoned well (how solid is that brickwork and could it collapse on top of you?), basic confined spaces training 101 is never enter an area like that without testing the atmosphere, there's all sorts of situations where you could end up with some sort of suffocating odorless heavier-than-air gas in there, which is an exact recipe for those accidents where one guy passes out and then the guy who goes in to get him also passes out.

It's true, black bears will basically never mess with you unless you are intentionally antagonizing them or get between a mother and her cub. just yell at a black bear bear, make lots of noise, make yourself look big, and if it still comes at you bop it on the nose and yell some more, and they will almost always run away from you. Don't try that with a grizzly though, those are the ones you play dead with. Remember the rhyme: If it's black fight back If it's brown lie down If it's white get right with your deity of choice because your time on this earth is about to come to an abrupt and ignoble end

Blue Footed Booby posted:If I were on the hunt for Christmas presents and were to pick up one Egan book, which should it be? His short story collections are all great, particularly Axiomatic and Luminous, of his novels I really liked Diaspora and Quarantine, though I haven’t really kept up with his recent stuff. Axiomatic is probably the best starting point IMHO if it’s still in print.

Phanatic posted:It's not uncommon to repurpose old cemeteries. Some "fun" facts about the filming of that movie, particularly the pool scene! quote:In real life, JoBeth Williams, the actor who played Diane Freeling, didn’t want to film the scene, according to Screen Rant. Things were already weird on set. One of the other actors who played the middle Freeling boy, Robbie, was strangled by a clown. The prop was designed to make it look like he was being strangled by an evil clown toy, but it malfunctioned and began to strangle him for real. Steven Spielberg had to pull the clown off of him.

Phanatic posted:The Juicero was radically overbuilt and literally no expense was spared on making it as unnecessarily high-quality as they could. It did something *dumb*, but it did it very well and the components inside it were top-notch. Yeah, the whole thing with the Juicero was that they had engineered this incredibly expensive ultra-durable precision-crafted press made of high-quality parts machined to impressively tight specifications… in order to press juice packets that you could literally just squeeze out with your hands almost as quickly. The build quality was great, just in service of a completely unnecessary function.

The horrifying thing that happened is 100% exactly what you’d think. “When his pet chimp got put in a sanctuary, he got mauled by one of the other chimps at the sanctuary” is not really much of a twist. Do not mess around with chimps.
