First thing they teach you in haz-mat first responders courses is if you ever see a tanker on fire, RUN. And keep running. You may be out of range of the BLEVE but the shrapnel can kill you too.


I think it's best to face the danger, so that you can dodge it matrix style!

I used to be a professional online snoop. All I did was find out information about people to do extremely targeted one-on-one marketing. . . . And character killing. All I needed was 2 to 3 pieces of information about a person. Granted, it wasn't to the level of knowing their bank account information because I never actually hacked anything. This was all public information I could retrieve in a matter of hours. I could go further, like this guy:

In September 2013, India will have a 100% vegetarian McDemon's. They can only claim .5 million served daily there....They'd be in chapter 13 if the rest of the shit-eating world followed suit.

Mcdonald's represents to me one of the fundamental causes of why America can't get up off the mat and why otherwise beautiful people are inflated and miserable. Their food is sewage.

They also represent a NON-LIVING WAGE! They fuck their employees and the world.

Corporate Death Burger

Wannna impress the world??? Increase the number of Buffalo and Bison to pre-1840's populations and start using THAT meat in your shit-nasty burgers!...Oh and use the state of Utah to corral all those herbivores AFTER enslaving all Mormons to work the herds.

Can they just do a whole video on the barefoot chick on the yoga mat in the park?

Two things come to mind:
1) "Unintended acceleration"---the cognitive panic of someone THINKING they are pressing on the brake as hard as they can when they are actually pressing on the accelerator as hard as they can (well known psychological phenomena known as cognitive dissonance usually follows these episodes---"I cannot have just run over my grandson by pressing as hard as I could on the accelerator so the only possible explanation is that the car ran away and the brakes failed"

or

2) Large floor mats, either after market (to catch rain/snow) or loosened from the floor pan securing pins (cleaning? sloppy?) pin the accelerator to the floor. Spring is too weak to return it---voila. Run away car.

And in their panic, they can't get on the brakes hard enough, because, yes, I believe it's true, there is no production car, assuming a roadworthy state BEFORE such an episode, can "burn out" its brakes or "run away" from a full application of the brake pedal.

Very cool idea that I just might pursue, thanks for the great link. Definitely going to throw an anti-fatigue mat under mine if I do it.

You haven't lived until you've massaged a cloaxia with warm water and your bare hands to loosen up clumps of matted feathers.

You have not lived.

Prob feels great all those pokey hooves into that matted fur, scratchy scratchy scratch!

I had this happen a while back - the floor mat slid up and caught the accelerator pedal. The best my panicking brain came up with was to jam it in 5th, dump the clutch, and (thankfully) stall. All the better ideas came to me after I was stopped.


Lulz, thank goodness you weren't driving one of the new Vettes. You can't stall them. They'll start in 6th. Take FOREVER to get to 200mph that way, but they get there.

Dying by floor mat...that seems like a shit way to go.>> ^jmzero:

Holy shit that last fall was evil!

Falls near the bottom are usually the worst since you can get to the ground if you've only got one anchor. It didn't help that that guy blew through the anchor anyways <IMG class=smiley src="http://cdn.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/oops.gif">


Wouldn't have been so bad if they'd brought more than one crash mat! Even the one they've got there is a wee bit on the small side

@Porksandwich Geez, I would never have stuck around in that guild long enough to see any of that go down. For the most part, I had my own guild just to use the guild bank as a massive storage unit for all my mats and crap. But when I did join other guilds to raid, it was all very professional. The kind of guild you had to apply to. You pretty much had to have a doctor's note if you had to miss a raid.

The social aspect of WoW is great and all, but like in real life, you really have to be careful with who you choose to surround yourself with.

I hope you do find a girl who plays with you or is at least tolerant of your time spent gaming. I find that gaming makes my relationship work because we both dedicate time to it. Neither of us feels jealous. We currently play SWTOR together and games like Little Big Planet and the like with our son. We also play games independently. He's playing Legends of Grimrock right now and I'm checking out Reckoning, which he's already beat, including the DLC expansion.

You can find a girl who compliments you and doesn't bring you down. Don't let past experiences with dastardly people shade your outlook on gamers, girl or boy.

A video doesn't hold much content, when you need to know about the subject to the extent that you could predict the outcome of the test without watching the video. Nothing was shown in this that wasn't obviously clear from knowing a bit about the subject.

This is not a reliable or practical solution, as it requires force for it to have a positive affect and not all things on the road considering a pothole a hazard move fast or have the weight to generate the downward force required. i.e bicycles, slow moving cars in traffic jams, drunk people. This would only work in a few specific situations like highways from my understanding.. to which as mxxcon hit the nail on the head, asphalt is clearly more effective in a wider range of situations.

Spoco2 is spot on with given comments and the only impressive thing i saw was that the mat actually stayed there, well done mat. Well done.

I'm up-voting because BoneRemake's first comment made me laugh.. Pot-kettle-black.
(and because the mat stayed there)

Edit: also i enjoyed the article, learned a few things, cheers.
