Bait Bike-Prank

how the school-to-prison pipeline works

JustSaying says...

No Bob, you have failed.
You and all the other citizens of the US. You allowed your government to became a corrupt, for-sale pseudo democracy. Why? Because you voted for the wrong fucking people or didn't vote at all.
Maybe I'm wrong but my instincts tell me you vote republican. That's even worse. While you got your panties in a knot over the two gays down the street trying to marry, your party leaders sell the future of your country to the highest bidder. They're throwing one ridiculous diversion after another at you (Obama ain't american, Benghazi!, The gays!1!1), which you gobble up like the good boy you're supposed to be, while they redefine free speech as money donations and bribery as lobbying. Corporations ain't people, my friend. But who cares? As long as we build a big ass fence on our border.
The problem is you. You have a vote, a voice and you could use it to put the right people in power. What have you done with it?

Ronda Rousey's Thoughts on Fighting a Man and Equality

newtboy says...

I hope some day we'll see a woman champion beat the male champion and meld the belts, making one championship.
You're right, if women can't compete, it would be terrible, but I think they could, certainly if given a certain weight advantage. I know damn well that Ronda could tie me in knots and make me swallow my own buttocks.

I think it really may be as sex blind as she implied.

What I mean is I don't know that it's forbidden by the UFC for men to fight women (though the fighting commission(s) might prohibit it), and as you said, she is implying it's an option.

She won't fight a man but some day perhaps we'll see a woman who will and the winner will hold both the men's and women's championship title. Wouldn't that be something.

But then again it wouldn't be very sporting or enjoyable by fans if there isn't ever a woman strong enough to beat a man in her own weight class. For that reason alone man vs. woman probably won't ever happen.

Madonna Gets It In The Neck

SquidCap says...

The costume designers fault, you don't put anything on a knot that is meant to be yanked off. You use tiny strips of velcro or just simple thread, anything that will break off easily and way before actor loses balance. Knots are horrible unreliable in these situations. What i was more amazed off was that she wasn't lipsyncing this time.

Madonna Gets It In The Neck

yellowc says...

Well she definitely attempted to untie it, seems like there was an extra knot or so she wasn't quite aware of. Pretty innocent mistake really, probably not even her fault, I'm sure she untied it in that manner in rehearsal a few times and it went fine.

That was quite the fall. Did they try and pull off her cape which she hadn't untied?
So all on her?

Over A ½ Cord Split in 6 minutes with a Fiskars!

Retroboy says...

Yeah, it's a set-up. Every piece is perfectly level-cut, no knots, nothing but clean, perfectly vertically-grained extremely well-dried softwood.

But it's still pretty impressive and the guy is fit as hell, so kudos.

Over A ½ Cord Split in 6 minutes with a Fiskars!

newtboy says...

Even my aged, dry doug fir doesn't split that easily. He must have removed all the pieces that had braches/knots. Mine just don't split like that...even with a rented log splitter!

The Ingenuity of British Electrical Outlets

SquidCap says...

Schuko all the way, best plug on the planet (at the moment). Ground always attaches first, the socket forms a protective casing and pins can not be touched long before contact happens, is protected from elements better, latched inlets (both pins need to push on them to allow the plug thru), can be plugged in two orientations.. Seems counterintuitive that it would be the safest to have neutral and live be allowed to switch places but it prevents highly dangerous practice of connecting earth and neutral inside the appliance, 50% of the time that would short and trip the fuses. Appliance manufacturers HAS to follow basic safety quidelines. Also means onnecting a plug is easy, just breen-yellow to ground, rest is up to you which way you want them. In fact, most of use can't remembers which color is neutral and which is live as they are BOTH treated as live.

Also they don't have fuses in the plug. Again, seems counterintuitive but the fuse is meant to protect individual parts of the circuit. The fuse in the appliances them selves protect the appliance, not it's cord. The fuses on the wall sockets have to be built to protect all cabling, both in and out of the wall.

Small details but it forces buildings to be built with higher standards, less shortcuts can be made.

One feature on Schuko is that when pulled from the cable, the plug leaves the socket first. In UK plugs, you can have a situation where someone trips on a wire and the wire will leave the plug, plug stays in the wall (or wall socket is damaged too) Making the weak point the plug-socket connection, the wire will stay firmly screwed inside the plug, socket and plug will be undamaged. There are L shape plugs too with Shcuko so this is not always the case but most often, those are incased and molded: your appliance will take the hit instead and fly off the desk. Also stops dangerous cable pulling with long cables with extensions for ex in construction sites. You have to actually go and move it yourself. Safer, more work but safer (yes, there are few cases where we knot the wires to stop it happening but when done by a professional, we know how to knot them so that the force is not pulling or bending the plugs at all, otherwise they can disconnect by them selves, often modus operandi when rigging lights)

Also, the pins are round, making bent pins something that just wont happen unless you drive a truck over them. Damaged, bent pins will be destroyed in the process, preventing someone to just bend them back in shape: the tube will not be round again.. It's a genius design.

Only thing that it is horrible at is transformers, small PSUs that takes up sometimes three sockets as Shcuko is more compact, the extensions are smaller then too.. So sometimes two wall sockets can take one PSU and we end up with lots of extensions chained with half of the sockets filled (i got 600 led lights in my living room, takes 4 extensions to get them all running, half of the sockets are used....)

@tommirror, Yeah don't feel too bad mate, you'd most-likely have been dissatisfied with the likes of the most active of users here who've experienced the pain of their own existence who'd rather let you develop full-blown syphilis than to afford you the courtesy of the directions to the free penicillin...

Should Powers Be Stripped Unilaterally By Admins Without Balls? (User Poll by chingalera)

chingalera says...

Goddamn boys.... you two and your fucking double-team on good people-You've both got it wrong, and you've both got ego issues larger than planets.

No newt, don't blame it on you, it's not about you at all. You seem to take everything to heart and personally, I have a legitimate beef with unilateral grudges. You both can't seem to derive meaning from the written word when it comes from someone you personally dislike, this poll was not posted as a public address siren to alert you and chicco to your need to let-fly your personal grudges against me. It was an honest appeal to the community as a whole, not an invitation to haters.

You want wanted my opinion, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen to shit all over me, RIGHT!!?? Well ya got it!!

Chicco still has a panty-knot about me that's fucking terminal because I hurt his fragile feelings and he refuses to speak to me in a mature manner, and YOU??? There's simply no inroad to understanding with someone who chooses the path you have taken, I have made several appeals and inroads to your humanity and civility, to no fucking avail, you simply can't process my personality, so you fucking discount me as a piece of shit person altogether, and choose the rude, uncivil, and douche-path....BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT!

I'm a fucking adult son, got a few years on ya,. grow the fuck up and keep your opinions of me to your fucking self, it's working out fine like that....




Again, I used my powers of resurrection for the OVERALL QUALITY AND BENEFIT OF THE sift, her users, visitors, newbies, etc....and I ask you....WHO THE FUCK ELSE DOES IT ANYWAY??!!

Go check recent comments and see how many people here even avail themselves of the power to fix dead pool videos...Very very few...

Fuck didactic and eternally litigious and sophistic examinations of users and their habits, SPECIALIZATION IS FOR INSECTS!!!

Happy 8th Siftiversary (Sift Talk Post)

chingalera says...

Yes there is ant-It's called sunlight and and about-towner afternoons, at least twice a week. OH, and you must encounter 3 people physically per walk, and initiate conversation...Perhaps a puppy or kitty might help?? Crafts or hobbies are good, get you a good knot-tying guide or maybe take up toothpick art or philatelic.

Me too. Is there a VSAA?
