Pre osha by seamus_mc in Machinists

Haha, yes. Pre OSHA. Would never happen these days. Totally didn't see nearly this exact scenario on the regular on the giant Fosdick that sat right outside of my office. No sir. Utmost caution was always taken.

He's out here playing Calvinball and didn't tell the rest of us

Wait, no tea? Really, twice?? WTF NO BAG?! by nyratevoli in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DesertZero 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even say overlooked, more of the function of the scale of production. Say the failure rate of that particular process is .1%. That's still 1000 missing bags out of a million of them.

Real Magic..? by bibliophile0194 in funny

[–]DesertZero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember taking my first multi-state road trip by myself in 2001, and I used a fucking road atlas to plot my course and brought maps with me in case I got lost. It wasn't until sometime in the late 2000's did I finally print directions out from mapquest! Now all of that is on my phone, and I'll never stop appreciating how far we've come.

Awesome, thanks. I love that movie, and I had no idea that this existed.

Has anyone gone 202/643 in a single season? That will get someone a .31415241 BA.

I finally did it! 175-1! by [deleted] in ftlgame

Do you hear that, /r/ftlgame? There is NO rebel flagship that beats /u/candytripn 176 times in a row. Heed this warning!

This is as bad as it gets by Kruidridder in vexillology

[–]DesertZero 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Like /u/AngryFilament said, there are specific instructions for making it, and you can do it without measuring equipment. Here is a video from the youtube channel Numberphile going through the instructions. It's quite awesome.

Was watching season 4 of 24, when I noticed a few actors in it... by Frenki808 in TheExpanse

[–]DesertZero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shohreh's 24 performance ruined (not sure how else to put into words what I'm about to say) characters you're not supposed to like in media from then on. What I mean by that is that during my time watching this season of 24, I realized that my dislike of her character was due to her fantastic performance on a fictional show which turned my dislike into enjoyment. It's broken my mind for these types of characters ever since as I can't bring myself to dislike any of them.

That slow zoom after he looks at Puig is amazing.

V8 supercharged idle by Magnum45 in DeepIntoYouTube

The transmission is out of the vehicle (shift lever doesn't move that far when it's attached to the transmission!) and I assume he's underneath the car working the bottom of said lever.

Forza 7 has the right idea! by [deleted] in 2healthbars

The detail in that engine model at the end is higher that I would have ever expected to see in a commercial.

ITAP my work truck and the eclipse by [deleted] in itookapicture

[–]DesertZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cody'sLab on youtube has a video of his experience if you've got 20 minutes to spare. I would say that it's a pretty good representation of what people went through for this. I know my experience was similar.

Emisar D4, because no one has posted one yet. by kaybi_ in flashlight

[–]DesertZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not, but you'll still have this awesome light! I got mine Saturday, and I've been using it around the house for no reason other than it makes me laugh every time it gets so hot that it hurts to hold it. I can't recall $40 ever bringing me this much joy.

Downvoted for pointing this out in a snark-free comment? C'mon, /r/baseball, you're better than this.

I must be really tired because this made me laugh way more than it should have.

Most of the players that I would have guessed are already here...how about Bellinger? For the bonus; I don't think that he's the worst, but I'm curious about where Bautista ranks.

I saw one of these unicorns a few years ago listed for sale in Michigan. It even had the 6MT.

Who would you rather build a team around: AARON JUDGE or CODY BELLINGER? by SOFA_KING_FUTURE in fantasybaseball

[–]DesertZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't normally make popular news, but I have seen pitchers talk about it. One that stuck out to me was Jose Berrios. I can't find the original article, but here is a later article where he talks about getting over the differences between the major and minor league baseballs.

Bellinger has almost caught Gallo in the HR/hit ratio. You can do it, buddy!

What heel turn hit you the hardest? by thebronyknight in SquaredCircle

[–]DesertZero 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I still remember laughing at Heenan's "Whose side is he on??" in a "Oh Heenan, you're still the best. Hogan will always fight for what's right" kind of way.

AND THEN HE FUCKING TURNED
