The World's First CVVD Engine - Genius!

Trump and the GOP Rocked by Bombshell Woodward Tapes

WmGn says...

re: the wanted-to-play-it-down-so-not-to-create-a-panic story, Churchill's "nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" speech comes to mind in contrast: Churchill instilled confidence by leveling with his electorate, and the country hauled together to defeat a greater, more serious threat.

Apollo 10 Source Code Listing: The Art of Commenting

StukaFox says...

There's two kinds of Devs in this world: those who comment their code and those who need to be kicked down a stairwell, then punched repeatedly in the head, then kicked down ANOTHER stairwell before being punched in the head, socked in the guts, kicked in the nads, then hauled back up the stairs to be kicked down a third time before being thrown out a window to the rousing cheers of all the poor cunts who'll now have to figure what in the hell he was doing with 6,000 lines of C# that only appear to print the phrase, "Help! I'm being kicked down the stairs for not commenting my code!"

Honda S2000 vs BMW M4 Nurburgring - OR just out for a ride.

StukaFox says...

Apparently, as long as you pay the fee, you can drive any goddamn thing you want on the Ring. I've seen video of buses, camper vans, rental trucks, and in one memorable video, an advertising truck for Brazzers, hauling ass around that track.

Which is The Most Dangerous Car? Problems with NHTSA ratings

newtboy says...

I was thinking about car safety and how the biggest variable is likely the driver...how specific cars are driven on average, and it struck me that the best way to promote public safety would be to make your maximum speed limit variable based on gvw (gross vehicle weight). This is already done for vehicles with more than two axles or those towing trailers because it's obvious they take longer to stop. The same logic should apply to every car. It's a no brainer that a Humvee takes longer to stop than a Miata, and is far less controllable under emergency braking. For the safety of both those in such larger vehicles and the general public, they should not be allowed to go as fast as cars weighing 1/4 their weight with better brakes.
A side benefit of such a system would be greater average fuel economy, because bigger cars have greater wind resistance (on average) so become less efficient at higher speeds.
Of course, I wouldn't expect that kind of reason to ever fly in America where the most popular car is a heavy truck that's never used for hauling and could be replaced with a Honda Civic with no loss of functionality for >75% of owners....but everyone wants to drive a tank so they're safer, with no thought about what that means for the other cars on the road.

Formula Offroad Norway, Skien 2019! Day 2

BSR says...

So these guys are really just knocking down hills of dirt for the trucks to haul away to construction sites in the morning. Amirite?

Sexual Assault of Men Played for Laughs

Saddam took control of an oil rich nation of 30+ million people using violence and torture. He had them record his clinching moment on video, where you can still watch him drag out a visibly broken man(well agreed to have been broken through torture, Saddam deliberately flaunted this), and has the man read out a list of names of co-conspirators. Sure, Saddam undoubtedly wrote the list himself, but he was already powerful and feared enough it didn't matter and this evidence was enough. The co-conspirators were hauled out for execution, and the others in the room were fearful/relieved enough that when they were ordered to perform the executions themselves they did.

Saddam then ruled Iraq for another 24 years before he was forcibly removed by foreign powers, not any manner of domestic uprising.

Don't tell me that nobody else in Iraq wanted the job for that quarter century, instead Saddam's brutal methods were successful in keeping his hold on power throughout that time. None of that makes his methods 'right', but to declare that the methods are ineffective is just silly. Doubly so if you observe his hold on power wasn't removed by crowds of peaceful protesters rising up removing him in a bloodless coup, but rather through the use of more force and violence than Saddam could muster in return.

Torture is good for getting someone to name any person they know. It is not good for getting useful information....so it's only barely useful if you torture someone weak who knows the name of others you are looking for, and gives them up. That's useless information, even to a monster like Saddam. He would never know if the important names were withheld and only acquaintances named, so would be forced to murder the entire country eventually. Only unknown hermits would be "safe".

Your example assumes dissidents with families would be allowed to have sensitive information.
Clearly it didn't work, too. There was a strong opposition to Saddam he utterly failed to destroy even though he tortured without pause. You create more enemies than you could ever catch by torture. Smart leaders start to wonder if torture for information is worth the cost. (Hint, it's not)

Torture for coercion, a different topic, that often works, but only until the tortured decide death is preferable and try to revolt, which requires you to keep them in N Korea conditions to keep any revolt from winning. Hardly a net gain for even third world nations.

What makes up atoms? If I understood my teacher, Ferengi bartenders are involved somehow.

Ain't nothing like dynamite fishin to bring in a big haul....what would you use....enticing simulations and smelly concoctions?

What makes up atoms? Scientists? Imagination? Eve?

In chemistry, why does it seem as though explosions are the bait on the hook to reel in new fish?

Please keep your answer within the Fishing metaphor for easier comprehension and entertainment.

CarbonCure’s Concrete Innovation

newtboy says...

Sure, let's say you need a foundation. Wouldn't it be best if it were one solid stone? Now, isn't it easier to make that stone in place and in the right shape from an easily transported liquid instead of hauling in a 150 ton slab you have to then carve into shape?
Edit : this seems to turn the cement back into a single solid stone which should be far more stable and solid than regular cement/concrete.

Payback said:

Anyone tell me why turning cement back into limestone, after going through all the bother of converting said limestone into cement, makes any sense whatsoever?

Mic'd up ump dealing with a pissed off manager

eric3579 says...

Im surprised this hasn't been taken down yet. The original was removed quickly after it was posted.

The below is quoted from an article in the Sporting News article...

Commissoner Rob Manfred said Thursday that MLB made a commitment to the umpires that if they agreed to wear microphones then certain interactions, like the one with Collins, would not be aired publicly.

"We promised them that. It's in the collective bargaining agreement. We had no choice in a situation like that than to do everything possible to live up to our agreement," Manfred said, per the Associated Press. "It is Labor Relations 101. To not do that is the kind of breach of trust that puts you in a bad spot over the long haul." http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/news/mets-terry-collins-video-umpire-argument-micd-up-noah-syndergaard-ejection/1ooltz0uohtcg1qkbc5x94ua6i

Full-Scale demonstration of Control Cutting

fuzzyundies says...

In situations where ships voluntarily leave an anchor behind, they typically attach a strong line (heavy rope or light chain) to part of it and a buoy. This way they can easily find it and haul up the tail again (or send divers down with a new line).
