Humphreys posted:Because of the greater sigma of WRX owners being insufferable? Usually its because a lot of WRX owners are morons, so they are an easy ticket. Plus they are cheap, so there is a good chance the person inside can't fight a ticket, while that Mustang/Vette could be a old person with time to fight the ticket. I'll miss my WRX, it was fun to drive. Plus, anyone else with one would have at you.

Clayton Bigsby posted:Is that Edinburgh? When I visited someone shared a story of there being a traffic cone stuck at the very top of that spire one morning and no one could ever quite figure out how someone got it up there. I spent a few days in Edinburgh, and traffic cones being on top of things they don't belong on appears to be a sport there.

A few years ago I was taking a train from London to Edinburgh; a little before York the train slows and stops. They announce the train on the other line had hit a cow that wandered onto the tracks. And we’d have to wait for the tracks to be cleared. It pretty much vaporized half the cow, there were bits of it splattered on the surrounding fences.

mom and dad fight a lot posted:I liked 'em. They do "short" hops around here, and yeah they're tiny but taking these turboprop planes to smaller terminals was a nice change of pace. Used to fly in some planes that size before the regional airline that ran them went out of business. I think about half the flights I took in them had some moments where you'd start to nervously glace at other passengers. Best one I can remember is coming back to Missoula from Boise, we got near a large forest fire that was in the area. All of a sudden, the plane just plummeted for a bit after hitting turbulence. Thankfully, everyone was buckled in, as that would have really bounced someone around. Also, the pilot would move be people around the cabin as he eyeballed the weight of passengers.

El Spamo posted:Hah, I was listening to an episode of Last Podcast on the Left and they were talking about some folks way out on an isolated off-grid farm hearing "phantom hums" when it was very quiet and still. Not sure if the hosts clocked it, but to me I couldn't help but say to myself "you ding dongs, it's so quiet that your brain and ears are picking up and making into sound anything they can possibly can." It's not a secret underground government lab or aliens, it's just so quiet that your body adjusts and gets a little squirrely. In those rooms they use for sound testing that are super soundproof, there is always mention of how people can't be in there for long before their brain goes a little weird from being able to hear things you generally don't.

I've ridden in a friend's Telsa, and there are times when it decides a blinking light near the road is a yellow traffic light, and will start slowing down. Also there there is an overpass that was built over where a roundabout was, and the car will hit the brakes when it gets near it. Everytime, he has to send a voice thing to report the car doing that. Apparently it has been over a year and no change.

The Shortest Path posted:Didn't people do exactly this to a beached whale and it uhhhhhhhh not go well at all? I have family that has worked trail crew for the Forrest Service, and this is a thing that happens. The horse explosion, not the whale. So far. First time my cousin was on a crew with it, a pack horse had died up a trail, so they went up to remove it. Their crew was a little fast and loose on the amount they used, but they definitely turned that horse into bits. At least they hope so, as there was a horse, then an explosion, and no horse. Either that or they launched it somewhere into the woods.

devmd01 posted:Did that at university to printers all over campus. Nothing offensive, just silly stuff like “INSERT COIN.” I was a student IT worker, so I heard that the printer admin went crazy, thought we were being hacked, and completely restricted access to talk to the printers so everything had to run through the print server. Like hell I admitted it lol. I did that to a couple of printers at work. I think one was unnoticed for a week or so, the other someone laughed, then rebooted it. Although I made sure to not run it on any printer that wasn't in IT. I had more luck with printing out the fake voice activated printer sheet. That had one of the more highstrung data entry people yelling at it.

(Which is why they arnt around anymore) We had way more fun than thoes guys can dream about. Its wild how good they are at just getting cars in and out.

While it melted some of it, it then turned the rest into a basically frictionless surface.

A sparkler was the only thing to give me a decent injury when growing up and playing with fireworks. Visiting my grandparents at their house and somehow the idea of running while holding a sparkler in each hand seemed like a good idea. While doing that, I tripped and landed on one, and had this fun scar for quite awhile. Never injured myself worse even when moving up to Dumb Teenager levels of pyrotechnics.

MisterOblivious posted:That may be the correct opinion about sparklers and how insanely loving dangerous that is that sparklers were considered a "young-child's firework." Years ago, they changed something with how sparklers burn so they don't turn into a IED when wrapped in tape. Maybe there are some brands that still work the right way, but it was pretty disappointing that you couldn't turn a few bucks of sparklers into something that sets off car alarms. That video is just a jet of fire, sparkler bombs were incredibly loud and made an impressive shockwave. It did get to the point where every store in town pulled electrical tape from shelves.

Jabor posted:I'm not sure how an eclipse could fry your phone camera. The reason staring at an eclipse is bad for your eyes is that since it's dark, your iris opens up to allow more light in - but there's still a similar amount of UV to normal, which ends up cooking your retina. Because you have a giant rear end lens pointing straight at the sun, and its not the UV so much as the heat. Same idea as a magnifying glass and ants. Back in the 2017 eclipse I used a solar filter before the sun was completely covered, as that was still enough light to damage my lens. Soon as it completely covered, I was able to take the filter off.

Javid posted:As an anecdata point, in high school I was in welding AND photography, and the photography teacher was long since used to telling the welding kids "yes you can take pictures of welding, no you cannot look through the manual viewfinder or you will blind yourself, idiot, use the giant screen on the back" without even the perfunctory safety shouting that "we want to take football action shots from the sidelines" would have gotten out of that dude Very nice. I used some slide over filters, but they were touch smaller then my nice lens, so I used a smaller telephoto. This is my best shot. This was with the filter off, once the eclipse hit full I didn't need it.

Bad Munki posted:People in Alaska love to go fishing with guns, or at least used to. Growing up in the 80s, we certainly had a halibut gun. Gotta shoot that halibut because it’s just so darn big! Went halibut fishing a long time ago, the boat captain said he keeps a small .410 shotgun for shooting the very large halibut before they bring them aboard. Even though halibut generally put up less of a fight then a random log, a large one could still hurt someone. He did mention that he's had people use their own guns for this and basically unload into the fish. They pretty much ruin the meat.

Had a place I used to live at that developed a big hole near the entrance to the parking lot. The apartment manager didn't really give a poo poo about fixing. One of my neighbors in the building decided to fix it, so they went to HD and got this single bag of asphalt mix that was used to fill a small pothole. I think you needed a hand tamper, but they didn't have one so they just used the bag and jumped up and down on it. Actually worked surprisingly well all things considered.
