25 Random things about me... (Blog Entry by youdiejoe)

ChaosEngine says...

1. I hate writing lists like this.
2. but only because I'm afraid I don't have enough cool stuff to put on them
3. I swear.. a lot, but I get away with it... in person, because I'm Irish, and in writing, because I'm an eloquent motherfucker
4. When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a space shuttle pilot. My entire room was covered in space posters, until I was eventually convinced this wouldn't happen in my early teens (kinda hard to be a shuttle pilot when you live in a country with no space program or even an airforce).... at which point....
5. I started listening to heavy metal and for years I wanted to be a touring musician. Played in a few bands, even recorded some stuff, but I was never really that good, but I did teach my brother to start playing
6.... who is now waaaay better than I ever was, has a degree in music and releases some of my favourite music.
7. I am by a long way the most level-headed member of my family.
8. I like to think I'm resourceful (read as "watched one too many episodes of macgyver as a kid") and set myself little challenges all the time (like trying to break into my own house)
9. I've been arrested once and spent a night in a cell
10. I love the mountains (snowboarding, mountain biking) but didn't realise this until my late 20s. It's one of my great regrets that I didn't start these things sooner.
11. I'm a 3rd dan (soon to be 4th!) black belt in Aikido, but....
12. I haven't been in a fight since high school.
13. A small immature part of me really wants someone to attack me so I can find out.
14. The rest of me isn't nearly that stupid.
15. I love to cook (especially BBQ), and will happily spend all day preparing a meal for my wife or my friends.
16. I don't have or want kids, but I get on great with them (I suspect they think I roughly as mature as they are).
17. I teach a kids Aikido class.
18. I'm very good at my job, but it's just a means to an end for me. If I never needed to work again, I wouldn't.
19. No-one will read this far.
20. I think people are basically good, but they're also stupid and easily manipulated... this goes for me too.
21. I really want to travel again, but life keeps getting in the way.
22. I'm a total geek.
23. I like to look at everything from all angles, but there are somethings I have no time for (homepathy, racism, homophobia, climate deniers, etc). I don't believe in debating these people.
24. I sometimes wonder if I should put my money where my mouth is and run for public office, but then I remember that that would seriously cut into my snowboarding/mountainbiking/aikido-ing time.
25. I am very tempted to delete this list.

How to ruin someone's Instagram food photo

MilkmanDan says...

@eric3579 - Personally, I agree with you. I don't get it.

BUT, my wife is a big "look what I just ordered" food photo poster, except on Facebook instead of Instagram. She does it with a circle of her friends, and I gather that they get a sense of community and camaraderie out of it.

So, I can kind of accept it in the way that I can accept other things that baffle me personally. For everything that I think other people are crazy for doing, I'm sure they think I'm nuts for wanting to stay at home and sit in front of a computer playing videogames, or listening to heavy metal, or whatever. So ... live and let live I guess.

...But I still like to mess with my wife when she's taking food photos sometimes, just like in the video.

How High Can You Hear? [test]

Payback says...

As a youth and young adult installing monster car stereos and going to heavy metal concerts, this is not a thing I need or want to test. I know my hearing is shit.

Apparently The Greatest Airbag Crisis In History Is Upon Us

newtboy says...

Sure, but I drive a Bronco with a full roll cage....not a bel air. I would crush that bel air too, and the Malibu. Bronco's are tough enough to do both, they have a thick full tube frame and heavy metal body, not a weakened C-channel or less covered in plastic. Mine has a >300lb industrial steel bumper as well.
My other car is a 73 CJ-5, also with full roll cage and with 4 point seat belts, that is tall enough to drive right over both of those cars or, if not, turn them into convertibles. ;-)

So yeah, I still think I'll do WAY better in a crash than an average new car.

Crumple-zones (and other safety engineering) can be the difference between life and death.

And most crash tests (and star ratings) aren't for highway speeds.
http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/ratings-info/frontal-crash-tests
so 40 mph and 35 mph. If you go up to 55,65,75 mph the difference in kinetic energy is exponentially higher (K=0.5mv^2)

there might have been a mythbusters episode about this...can't remember the result though.

Mining Platinum From a Highway

newtboy says...

Oh...I guess someone didn't think about the fact that lots of that dust is brake dust....mostly asbestos. He didn't even have a dust mask...big safety FAIL.
I would like to know how much it cost him to recover that unmeasurably small amount of platinum. I note his 'calculations' show he counted his recovered amount as .001g, but that's not what his scale said even including the other heavy metals in his BB, so as @eric3579 said, he is full of shit!

Alestorm - Drink (Scottish Pirate Metal)

Hardcore Henry - Official Trailer

newtboy says...

....and? That's the only way it would be good. Every Heavy Metal nerd of the 80's would be twitching with anticipation at the thought.

A Druuna movie would be great, but good luck keeping it anything less than an NC-17.

Army Ant Death Spiral

Disturbed - the alternative lyrics

The Colors of Feelings

The Terrifying Truth of Childhood Technology Addiction

Ed Sheeran Sings Heavy Metal

JustSaying says...

Dude, most of those songs are NOT heavy metal. Calling Cannibal Corpse heavy metal is like calling 2Girls1Cup a late night movie.

Trivia Fun Fact: 'Where The Slime Lives' is actually a ringtone on my cell. Made me smile.
