Live Unplugged (1995)

NerdAlert: SimCity Launch Disaster - EA Earns Your Rage

HugeJerk says...

The online component is a mess, beyond the problems that were caused by load. They didn't bother with a queuing system, instead the game just starts a 20 minute countdown and tries again. The only simulation being done on the EA servers is the regional interactions (which SimCity 4 was already doing), you can actually unplug and continue playing for about 10 minutes if you time it right... then the game will check for a connection and region data and finally boot you then.

Jon Stewart Addresses Russian Dashcam Videos

Payback says...

The ones from Glonex are quite nice, I have one. GPS breadcrumbing, One ($169) and two camera ($249) (for reaction shots of you just missing that granny or proving you weren't, in fact, texting just before your front camera caught the guy you just hit running the stop sign)
Removable MicroSD, mounts by 3M tape to your windshield, but a click removes it and just unplug the power cord and it's safe from theft.

I'd like to do a little crowd sourcing here: what is the best kind of dash cam to buy and from where? Every American needs one of these like an AR-15 on the mantle. Msg me or reply here.

This Garden Hose Makes Ice Cubes

Payback says...

If you'll note, the end of the hose has been cut off. If the threaded end was still on, the ice wouldn't have come out like that, it would have stayed plugged.

The hose probably just froze overnight and the person cut the end off to get the hose unplugged.

I have to wonder...just how precise a pattern does the air temp have to follow for the water in the hose to freeze, then thaw enough to slide out the end.

How a Microwave Oven Works

Boise_Lib says...

**Safety Note**

If you take apart a microwave oven be very, very careful of the capacitor (looks like a metal can near the magnetron). These caps store an impressive amount of charge and can knock you across the room--even after the oven is unplugged.

Girl Gets Caught Watching Porn in a University Library

SDGundamX says...

We did this at my old job...

When someone is away from their desk, but logged into their computer, you change the startup sound to a recording from a porn. Only works if the person doesn't habitually have their headphones plugged in (although most people won't notice if you later unplug the headphones after they've left the office for the day ). When they boot up the computer next morning everyone in the office gets a laugh.

Of course, I don't recommend doing this unless you work in a very kick-back office with bosses who have a good sense of humor. Also be aware it'll make everyone in the office paranoid for the next month, so they'll log out of their system every time time they go to the bathroom or get up to grab a coffee.

oh for fuck sake... HOW??? how can you walk around and breathe at the same time with such an obviously useless brain?
Seriously, is this guy borderline retarded? And if he is who was the moron who let him work at a place with highly flammable liquids?

Imo, we live in a world where we're pretty much wrapped in cotton wool. Stub your toe? Make a claim.
We're an arrogant race.. we think everything is safe, and we think we're automatically the top of the food chain whilst forgetting the hard work that got us there
When you think about it you realise that behind all these laws and safety regulations and stuff, we're just animals surviving. We've developed some cool ways to do it in style, but that's still what we are.
If you got dumped on an earth with no sign of human technology, would you be fucked? I think 95% of us would be!


I just think there are stupid people in the world. There are what? Over 6 billion people in the world now? With those type of odds. Someone is going to hit the stupidity jackpot.. (IE, its a million to one shot that an idiot would look in to a fuel tank with a lighter. Boom we have a winner) and a lot of times it's not that they are stupid, Its just that they do not THINK or Even want to. (IE Lady falling on her face while walking and texting. On live TV) I worked Tech support for years. I've had arguments with people over just getting them to check the damn power plug and then have them be surprised when its really unplugged.

Wiki-

A practical joke (also known as a prank, gag, or jape) is a mischievous trick played on someone, typically causing the victim to experience embarrassment, indignity, or discomfort. Practical jokes differ from confidence tricks in that the victim finds out, or is let in on the joke, rather than being fooled into handing over money or other valuables. Practical jokes or pranks are typically lighthearted, reversible or non-permanent, and aim to make the victim feel foolish or victimized to a certain degree. However, practical jokes may also involve cruelty.
The term "practical" refers to the fact that the joke consists of someone doing something physical, instead of a verbal or written joke. For example, the joker who is setting up and performing the practical joke, might hang a bucket of water above a doorway and rig the bucket using pulleys such that, when the door opens, the bucket dumps the water. The joker would then wait for the victim to walk through the doorway and be drenched by the bucket of water.

This is pretty assholish. I can't really see what's supposed to be funny about it. Wow, so hilarious to ruin someone's enjoyment of something they're deeply absorbed in.


>> ^Quboid:

This just seems like a dick move to me. When someone's really into something and you suddenly ruin it, duh, they get upset. That would be like me telling you that Bruce Willis was a ghost all along or that Tyler is in Jack's imagination - these things work on suspense, and that only works when they are revealed properly. Try watching a football match (real or American) when you know what's going to happen ... it's not the same, not at all.
I appreciate that people not into sports don't get this, but they should get that people into sports are, gasp, into sports. They don't deserve to be called morons or sheeple, for what, for enjoying something? Screw you. Who the hell are you to judge them?
Sorry if I just ruined those... Sucks, doesn't it?

Concrete Buffer Gone Wild

ReverendTed says...

>> ^Barseps:

Not wanting to look like a chump here, but assuming this machine isn't either powered by fossil fuels or an independant power scource (i.e. battery).......... Didn't it ummmm cross anybody's mind to just UNPLUG the damn thing?
The white bit on the top of the concrete finishing machine is the fuel tank.


(Also, it bugs me just slightly that they call it a Zamboni at the beginning.)
