Speed Drinking F-A-I-L.

Drafting Like a Boss

evilspongebob jokingly says...

jeez where did you trendsetters learn math? Obviously from a "school" or "college" and not from the tubes. Philistines.

None of you have taken into account the well known Lebowski Theorem which is a functional analysis that clearly establishes the baselines and relative variances of giveafuckness relating to the speed at which humans are travelling within the vicinity of large moving objects (Please refer to the 7th Kowalski Variance of the Lebowski Theorem if the large objects are stationery).

I think you'll find reworking your so called "equations" using proper interweb math - particularly in trying to reach some sort of proof involving videos from eastern europe - you'll reach a much more satisfying conclusion.

as maestro has astutely pointed out, you've errantly assumed this truck can full stop in zero time. Hurp de durp de durpidy pthhhhhhhhhhh

Seems likely to me that he'd be able to brake faster than the truck could break, and if the truck started pulling too far away leaving him exposed, he could coast on the shoulder till he can safely stop.
I'm not saying I would do this, but it doesn't seem all that dangerous. I guess the one thing to worry about would be road debris, since he can't see it coming.

I dont think its about who can stop the fastest, its about how fast you can start stopping.
He's about half a metre away from the back of that truck. He's doing 90kph. Human reaction time is about .2 of a second. Lets do the maths.
90,000m/3600s = 25m/s
25m/s 0.2s = 5m
He's going to travel 5 metres before he even starts slowing down. If that truck has to brake hard he will go into the back of it. Granted, his speed relative to the truck won't be very high but it would prolly be enough to send him arse over tit. at close to 90kph. and he aint exactly in leathers.
I'm not even sure he could stop faster than the truck. Sure, the truck is heavier, but it has 4 wheels, big thick tyres and a lower centre of gravity. Lets do the maths.
The coefficient of friction between road bike tyres and average russian tarmac is...no I kid.


No I didn't? I just assumed the truck would slow enough that he could go into the back of it. So ok, the truck travels 4.8ms, the bike travels 5m. He's now 30cms from the back of the truck, and only now is he gonna start braking. Assuming they decelerate about the same, and I'm not even sure you can stop faster than a truck on a bike, there is still a 3m/s difference in speed with 30cms of room between them. Like I said before, he won't be going very vast relative to the truck when he collides, but his wheels are still going to be spinning prty quickly and I'd guess that would be enough to put him on the pavement...or you know, the risk is large enough that I wouldn't want to try it.

And this is ignoring all the myriad other risks from travelling at 90kph blind. Maybe his attention is on somebody in a car with a video camera in the lane next to him, and suddenly his reaction to the truck braking is delayed...maybe a pothole appears under the truck. Or a puddle. I'd rather base jump than do that.

Scottish Fold munchkin kitten is adorable

evilspongebob says...

Sorry, but this needs some unnecessary censorship.

I've lived with _____ all my life and have been breeding ______ ____ for about five years now. I can absolutely guarantee the temperament of my _____. Playing with ____ is a great way to teach them where the lines are. Biting is OK, as long as it isn't hard. They can learn where that line is. I can play fight with my big boy Leo (7.5kg Ragdoll) and he mouths me but never hurts me. He never puts his _____ out and it's great fun. You can play with ____, but you do need to teach them where the lines are and be strict about stopping them when they do cross the line. Do this when they're little and they'll be great _____ when they grow up.
Indiscriminate play without teaching is where the problem is but play-fighting with a great big bundle of fluff is great fun and well worth the effort. I just find it a bit more interactive than a toy on a stick.>> ^robbersdog49:


That's better.

>> ^critical_d:
I would recommend not using your hand to play with the kitten. This can reinforce behavior (it's ok to bite fingers) and this will be a problem when they get older and are capable of doing real damage. Try using a feather wand or any of those cat toys that have a string on a stick design. This will still allow you to play interactively with the kitty and the cat will focus on the toy as "prey" and not your hand. A win-win situation for the both of you!
Let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to help.

Question for experienced cat owners:
I love playing like this with kittens, especially encouraging them to bite me because I like how it tickles, and I find it cute how ineffectual it is. I've also heard that doing that trains cats to bite people whenever they play, a habit which they retain into adulthood and become those annoying cats that bite your guests. Is that really true, or is it just in the personality of the cat whether they'll bite as an adult?
Thanks!


I've lived with cats all my life and have been breeding pedigree cats for about five years now. I can absolutely guarantee the temperament of my cats.

I can play fight with my big boy Leo (7.5kg Ragdoll) and he mouths me but never hurts me. He never puts his claws out and it's great fun. You can play with cats, but you do need to teach them where the lines are and be strict about stopping them when they do cross the line. Do this when they're little and they'll be great cats when they grow up.

Looks really crappy. Low budget and sort of weak.

Have you seen series one? It's one of the best pieces of television ever. It's wonderfully shot, fantastically acted, funny, shocking, beautiful... it's just an awesome series.
And this is coming from someone who hasn't read the books, had no vested interest in it at all.
I'm almost certainly buying it on Blu Ray, and that's saying something as I'm really not into re-watching tv shows as a rule.

USS Independence LCS-2

evilspongebob jokingly says...

Record deficit? Un-payable National Debt? 10's of millions of citizens that can't afford or don't have health insurance? Rampant greed on Wall St? A burgeoning underclass? A natural environment on the way to shitsville?

Yes, folks! Your Tax Dollars at Work! Be proud of the USS Independence! Celebrate the bonuses paid to General Dynamics Executives!
