Tesla Towing Silverado Truck Out Of A Charger Station
PaybackYou're supposed to tow it sideways, with the rope wrapped over the roof at least once. ICE = Inbred Cocksucker Entertainment. Automotive version of InCells.
TUI Boeing 757 Comes into Land SIDEWAYS in 40 KNOT CROSSWIND
vilThe pilots name is Brenda Riepsaame Wassink. Captain Brenda Riepsaame Wassink. Imagine being a Riepsaame Wassink and trying to come up with a name for a girl... and sticking with Brenda.
Just Loading A Rock Onto A Truck
Sagemind|First thing I noticed is the pallet is in sideways so they couldn't use a forklift to lift it out if they tried. If they think they were going to lift it out by hand, they're crazy.
There are many wrongs going on here!
I love that there was enough foresight involved to put a pallet in the box so it wouldn't get scratched, but not enough to notice that the rock outweighs the truck.
Nauti-Craft Marine Suspension Technology
SFOGuyNot just throwing rocks, but---what is the practical application of this? As a pleasure craft, maintaining all those extra hydraulics would drive maintenance expenses through the roof from the perspective of a recreational boater.
I'm also concerned about reliability, elevation of center of gravity, response to being sideways in a seaway... the second half with the outrigger "sled' maybe would have application in military stuff? Air/Sea rescue?
YIKES! Quilled by a Porcupine!
newtboyMy thought was it folds the barbs sideways so they don't hook in as well. Clearly they still catch some, but likely less than just tugging.
I don't understand how twisting it before pulling out is supposed to help. Even though he twists it first, he still pulls is straight up...
"Alternative Math" - The confusing times we live in
bremnet says...Thank you for taking the time to lay this all out and provide links to the curriculum, I appreciate it. As a Canadian abroad, I had heard that some of the requirements were going a bit sideways, and down here in Texas the schools are a bit of a mixed bag as well, but your situation is worse (my wife teaches Algebra and Calculus at the junior high). Just "Wow" ... I have no words. I feel sorry for the poor kids who are smart enough to know the answer in their head, but are forced to spend their progressively fewer hours of free time to figure out this bullshit.
Thanks again.
@drradon: I agree with you 100% on teaching both and teaching basic arithmetic first and then leading on to proper math once that foundation is established.
@dannym3141,
I was first blindsided by it when my kids came home with multiplication homework and were adamant they couldn't answer it the way I was showing them because it would be marked wrong, it was the wrong way to do multiplication.
The link to the full Manitoba math curriculum is below. The worst sections are under 'Mental Math' with the idea being that you should be able to add/subtract/multiply/divide all numbers in your head with a dozen pages worth of tricks. The tricks being what newtboy was calling 'proofs'. Our curriculum calls them 'techniques' though and I've included an example from the Grade 3 curriculum verbatim after of how it is supposed to be 'taught'.
Overall Math curriculum:
http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/cur/math/index.html
Grade 3 example:
http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/cur/math/support_gr3/number.pdf
From page 56:
Describe a mental mathematics strategy that could be used to determine a given basic fact, such as
-doubles (e.g., for 6 + 8, think 7 + 7)
-doubles plus one (e.g., for 6 + 7, think 6 + 6 + 1)
-doubles take away one (e.g., for 6 + 7, think 7 + 7 – 1)
-doubles plus two (e.g., for 6 + 8, think 6 + 6 + 2)
-doubles take away two (e.g., for 6 + 8, think 8 + 8 – 2)
-making 10 (e.g., for 6 + 8, think 6 + 4 + 4 or 8 + 2 + 4)
-commutative property (e.g., for 3 + 9, think 9 + 3)
-addition to subtraction (e.g., for 13 – 7, think 7 + ? = 13)."
Now before you think me and observe there's nothing wrong with showing kids some extra tricks to help them, that is NOT how this is supposed to be used. If you read further, students are REQUIRED to "explore" multiple methods of calculating answers and must demonstrate they know and can use all these 'tricks'. So instead of providing assistance for difficult calculations as it should be, it's used to make ALL calculations difficult, and create extra work, AND makes kids just learning the concept completely overwhelmed with everything you MUST know to get a right answer to 2+2=4.
And here's the link to the Grade 11 review of the basic arithmetic:
http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/cur/math/ess_mm_gr11/full_doc.pdf
And for the Grade 11 students and teaching them to add/subtract/multiply and divide, the teacher's guide describes this like a subjective discovery process with quotes like this:
"Consequently, mental calculation activities should include periods for thought and discussion.
During these periods, the teacher should encourage students to
-suggest a variety of possible solutions to the same problem
-explain the different methods used to come to the correct answer and their
effectiveness
-explain the thought process that led to an incorrect answer"
An important note is we are not talking about solving complex word problems here or anything, but specifically for calculating a basic arithmetic operation with the different methods being those described from back in Grade 3 already outlined above.
Driver Passes Out and Crashes
newtboyI knew Acuras had flight capabilities....when I hit a K rail at 55 mine went at least 8 ft up....sideways....before riding the K rail back down (fortunately upright). Those cars are tanks....flying tanks.

CrushBugActually, I think "Make America Fill In The Blank Again" is an excellent slogan. It is like a sideways hint to get out and vote.

Unbelievable save at the Isle of Man TT 2017
newtboyWatched this on the daily coverage, and DAMN! That was one hell of a save. 5th gear (around 140-150?) sideways in the air!
Some pee definitely came out.
*quality race....for everyone except Hutchinson, who crashed.
*promote some inhuman bike control
demolition oops
jmd says...yeaaa...I don't see a problem..any building that falls apart like that because the roof has a brick wall turn sideways on top of it is not safe for humans to reside in.
Why I Left the Left
enoch@Jinx
my main point is the the fringe of both ends of the political spectrum dominate the discussion,and BOTH are fucking horrible,ill-thought,narrow-minded and petulant.
they are part of the disease.
not every person who identifies as left is a snowflake,nor is everyone who identifies as right a bed wetter.
i wrote extensively on why trump won,and would happy to share if you would like me to,but to answer your question:no.snowflakes are not to blame (and i am struggling how you conflated that to be honest).
i have been:pepper sprayed,maced and beaten by three cops.
i have been thrown in solitary for days without food or water,and no working toilet.
i have been punched in the face by a supposedly devout christian,and i have been publicly harrassed for mistaking a young woman for a man at a gay bar.
is there anything else you would like to know to assuage the MASSIVE presumptions you made in your comment?
look dude,if you can't see that both the ultra left and ultra right are fucking bonkers and have lost their way.they co not even come close to representing the majority,and by their behavior..i do not think they really care.
so why should we?
the people who recognize that shit has gone sideways.that the politicians are purchased corporate whores,and this binary politics is just a device to keep us divided.
i am an anarchist,but i am not stupid,and refuse to be coddled or manipulated into buying into shitty philosophies and even worse politics.
the ultra left are fucking cry-babies,and the ultra right neo-fascists are bed wetters.
and both have lost their way.
FedEx Driver drifting a Jackknifed Truck like a boss
eric3579I'd hardly call that drifting. As if he intentionally put the truck into a controlled sideways slide.
