Terrifying RC Helicopter Breaks Reality

Why you should never pour grease down the drain

Find a recipe for tea biscuits.
Substitute bacon fat for the lard, and almond milk for the water.
You get biscuits that literally flake apart and melt in your mouth.

Stephen Fry Explains Why Some Believe Everything Trump Says

bitterbug says...

Except that he didn't. He took that million, made investments, got a job with daddy, and within 15 years had accrued massive debt.

When his father died he got a massive inheritance. That's where his wealth comes from.

And, as John Oliver pointed out with great humor, Trump has had one failure after another as a businessman. But his name has recognition so it's useful as a brand. So OTHER people put his name on their buildings and such, and then he swaggers around taking credit for it.

You bought the yellow kool-aid, and now you're smiling through it and trying to tell us it doesn't taste like piss.

So there's this construction site...

bitterbug says...

I was selling a car for $1200 on the classifieds, and a guy offered me a $3000 tool set for it. I wasn't that interested in selling that I'd accept stolen gear.
Someone might say "How do you know it was stolen?".
And it's because he could easily have gotten 2000 for it within a day of posting with all the home mechanics and shops around.

FedEx Driver drifting a Jackknifed Truck like a boss

bitterbug says...

Never did a stint as a commercial driver, but passed all the courses and went through down to the Michigan Decision Driving training grounds and did runs in trucks with jacknife scenarios, etc.

He's not drifting there. His trailer brakes are locked up. And because of inertia and ice his trailer is trying to pass his cab.

The goal is to maintain control but keep as low a speed as possible, so you give power to the cab to pull the trailer back into line in a normal situation. In this case he doesn't want to accelerate because there's no safe ground to regain control on, so he's going to aim for keeping the cab going at equal to or just slightly faster than the trailer.

As soon as he hits a clear patch of pavement or level ground then a little bit of acceleration from the cab pulls the trailer back in line behind the cab, drop the acceleration as the drag from the trailer slows you down, etc.

A good reason to always wait before pulling back in after passing a truck on the highway. In an emergency their maneuvers can take long distances when fully loaded. If something goes wrong during your passing maneuver your want to be as far out of their way as possible.

It will be a boon to those with hip or knee injuries who don't want to take the balancing weight at intersections and aren't ready to buy a trike yet.

I'd like to see the gyro setup in this.

How to Colonize the Galaxy

bitterbug says...

So we send off a bunch of generation ships to other systems. In the interim we manage to implement FTL drives.
The generation ships arrive to find the planets fully settled and immigrants unwelcome.
Oh shit.

Shit.....Fucking Fuck...Fuck

It's almost as if you're ignoring that any single location with reasonable gun laws in the US is surrounded on all sides by easily available guns, driving a black market economy.

But obviously you wouldn't be doing that because you're not a useless troll, right?

Jerykk said:

Nonsense! If gun ownership is low, then obviously gun crime will be low too, right? Oh wait, D.C. has some of the lowest gun ownership rates in the country yet it somehow has the highest (by far) gun crime rates. Weird... it's almost as if criminals don't care about gun control and will obtain guns illegally!

The Fastest Way To Defog Your Car Windows (And Why It Works)

bitterbug says...

Also, if your cars starts to overheat while you're driving and you need to keep going to get to service/safety, roll down your windows and turn the heat on full blast - even in the summer.
The heater pulls heat off the engine and gives you extra time before you go critical.

Guess the officer must have had a partner in the next room. Otherwise buddy could have just pulled his feet in and the door would have locked behind him.
