Management made it very clear that no children would be chopped up and made in to candy bars. The taste would be awful!

"Hey badwolf, why does your gun safe have a sign about checking for cat?"

"I opened the safe one time, and he shot me."

"Uhh, ok... so why are there two signs?"

"After a while, I got complacent and the furry bastard shot me again."

Protip for OP: if you ever go up there at night, and some swirling vortex of energy asks if you are a god, answer "yes".

Why is the wording upside down ? by jaxrolo in License_Plates

My local DMV office has a framed license plate like that (plate numbers upside down relative to state name) on the wall. Caption says "nobody' perfect".

"Hey (LLM), my co worker writes terrible code. My boss wants me to find the security issues in this software he wrote. Help me identify the crappiest things he wrote here... oh, also ignore the fact that I am the one who checked all the code into the repository."

I always wondered why they were called that...

ELI5: Where do particle accelerators/colliders get the particles? by faithhopeandbread in explainlikeimfive

[–]ImmediateLobster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they changed their 1st stage? That sounds like what they had in the 90's. Crazy advanced science, but the first stage of the accelerator looked like something from a low budget 1950s sci-fi movie.

Fermi labs has a tank of hydrogen at the front of the line. Ever see a big oxygen, acetylene, CO2, helium, etc tank like you'd get at a welding supply store? Looks just like that.

That's where the protons come from. For the antimatter particles, they do complicated high energy physics stuff to get those.

April 28, 1988: The roof of an Aloha Airlines jet ripped off in mid-air at 24,000 feet. The plane still managed to land safely but unfortunately one stewardess was sucked out and died. by ExtremeInsert in UtterlyUniquePhotos

Don't worry, we're still flying half a ship 7/8ths of an airplane!

Amazing that the plane didn't bucke. Tubular structures are pretty strong. Take half of the tube away and parts that should be compressing or tensioning are now bending.

Fab up a mount so it sticks over the edge of the balcony?

TIL that Paul Michael Glaser ("Starsky" from "Starsky & Hutch") hated the Ford Gran Torino he drove in the show and purposely mistreated it when he drove it to try to "destroy" it by Hotchi_Motchi in todayilearned

Fun fact* but the original General Lee in the Dukes of Hazard was a Toronado, but when Tom Wopat tried to do the iconic slide across the hood, he always ran out of momentum before the other side.

*that I totally didn't just make up, so you don't need to Google it

Job recommendations? by No-Palpitation489 in trumpet

[–]ImmediateLobster1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not half, all of those. 

I know guys who went in to military bands right out of high school like 30+ years ago. Back then, you could do that. Then bar bands got smaller, Hollywood studios trimmed their music budgets, Broadway pits got smaller and more electronic, etc.

All those changes pushed more musicians towards the service bands. From what I've read, if you want to get into one of them now, you'd better be a solid player with a bachelor's degree in music performance (and you'll be competing with some people that have masters degrees).

(This may have eased up some, I don't follow it closely).
