They were probably slaloming down the winding hilly public road where they're endangering themselves but more importantly potentially putting others at risk by drivers a) running them over or b) swerving to avoid running them over.

They are dipshits for doing that, but them aside, sure that guy has a reason to be pissed at their stupidity, but he clearly strapped on a jet pack and flew far the fuck off the handle a long, long time ago. He needs to seek some help with rage control management.

The original was taken down, but it was on liveleak, but ogrish has it. Idiot Muslim gets out trips and ran over leg.

Then goons and encyclopedia dramatica made goof parodies which spawned the vine craze.

The desert is south west US, as the original Afghan is mountainous and hilly.

@Duncan And yet this is the commonly suggested course of action for those overweight. Eat 1000-1200 calories a day, and exercise. That's a recipe for disaster. Further, your claim that if you intake fewer calories than you expend you will lose weight. This is not necessarily true. Your body is not a bunsen burner. That's why we have terms like "metabolism" as in so and so has a high metabolism or a low metabolism. In other words, some people can eat and eat and eat, and their body will simply convert the excess energy into heat. For others, that energy is stored as fat. My claim is that there are people for whom prolonged caloric restriction will not result in continued weight loss. Instead the body will continue to store the energy it receives as fat and your brain will be deprived of the energy it needs to allow activity levels necessary to burn anything off. Even with continued restriction. There are cases (e.g. with OCD patients) that prolonged weight loss can be achieved, but often it's simply impossible.

With regards to "life-style change," I agree. It's necessary. However, losing weight isn't. Much more success has been reported encouraging an active lifestyle. Eat until you are sated. That's okay (assuming you don't have a broken sensory system in that regard). People that pursue this approach will usually not lose weight, but they will become healthy. All of their bio-markers (e.g. cholesterol) often come into check. They are active, happy, and healthy. Yet still, people would somehow feel justified sending them a letter telling fatty to get off their ass.

I'll give an example. I watched my girl eat 1200 calories a day for six months. She's 5'2" at 180. The first month of this brought her down to 165/170, but the following five brought her no further. I watched her. She measured every meal with a measuring cup. She's also a geneticist, so she knows a thing or two about the relevant biochem. She was depressed as hell, and her activity level dropped. She was miserable and didn't even really lose substantial weight.

Now, she bikes at least 10-12 hilly miles a day, swims a couple miles three times a week, and does yoga. She eats when she's hungry and stops when she's full. She eats healthily for the most part, but rewards herself with a sweet now and again. Every measure known to correlate with health shows that she is healthy despite her weight. People call her fat all the time. There's just no need. Her doctor doesn't, because many doctors these days know BMI is a bullshit measure. She's not a weird case. I mentioned by buddy the pullup champ in a previous post. The dude was vegetarian in boot camp. He doesn't have an ounce of fat on him, and can do effectively perpetual pushups. He's technically "obese." For a medical term, it's about as useful as "idiot."

The fact is evidence is mounting that your disposition towards retaining fat probably has more to do with what was eaten by your mother during pregnancy than anything you do in your lifetime (other than maybe early childhood). Your body has a weight it would like to keep, and it will succeed in keeping it. If people would just change the societal pressure towards becoming healthy rather than losing weight people doomed to carry extra pounds wouldn't have to feel like outcasts, and would probably be more likely to pursue the correct goal. Instead, most people here seem to think it's okay to berate strangers about their weight. Let them talk to their doctor. If their doctor is good with it, you probably should be too.

@scannex Dude... are you really citing a marketing campaign for weight loss pushers? I bet you I could find data that shows the effectiveness of penis enhancement pills too. If you took a few you might find you like 'em thick ;-). Try some primary literature, and I'll respond in kind.

Try to refute this claim: "Overweight or mildly obese individuals with otherwise normal bio-markers show no decrease in life expectancy from normal."

If you can't, then tell me why it is okay to berate someone about their weight knowing nothing about their health overall?

Winter tires are available, but I don't think any state requires you to have them.

The problem in Seattle is 1) the people aren't used to snow, 2) it's usually a later of ice covered in a later of wet snow, and 3) it's damn hilly. It doesn't snow often so there's no real incentive to buy winter tires.

I know in Quebec all vehicles (? might be all passenger cars) are required to have them on for the winter months. I live in Manitoba, and while they don't require you to have winter tires, most people get them because otherwise the all season rubber freezes and your tires go lumpy.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Awesome. Wonder how it handles hilly terrain.

How about some tears for the hundreds of geologists who get run over next to road cuts while studying how, for example, we might be able to fix a landslide problem in a hilly residential area? Never heard of them? of course not because they are real people doing real jobs that help other real people with their real lives, that NOBODY CARES ABOUT. Neither Carlin nor Jackson can really claim any of that and yet they are almost looked upon as gods.

By the way, westy, its "great" not "grate." You should have learned the difference in 1st grade.

I got "fired" from my summer job for doing close to the same thing. Workin for the the landscaping team of this private company. It was a standing agreement that rather than dump all the grass in barrels (the property was HUGE and mostly grass), it would be taken to another property on the other side of the road. There, the cut grass would be driven in a dinky golf cart through a hilly wooded area, just small enough to squeeze the cart through. Well one day, crazy old me, decided he didn't want his head to hit the ceiling every single time he dropped off grass (3/4 times daily), and so chose to come up to the dumping grounds a different way. This entailed going up a very large hill on a steep incline. Problem was, at the top was a treeline, and I couldn't really tell which way I should go. Long story short, I picked the wrong one, and going in reverse on the hill, I hit the break. Wheeeeee! The only thing that got me not fired that same day was my employers were too concerned about a lawsuit. They were nice enough to imply that I should not look for employment there again.
