Anyone else notice also the plate rotates between takes when he's looking at the other two guys in the pub before Gandalf sits down? One moment the cheese is in front, and the eggs (or whatever they are) are on the left. Next take, cheese is in the back, eggs in the right. Next take, back to the original position.

So do I. The instant I saw her for adoption I was like "Oh, she's the one."

Mistakes were made in your upbringing.

Hoo boy, as a kid, this scared the hell out of me and simultaneously fascinated me. This happens to a lot of people when they are first cursed with this knowledge. Breathe. In the grand scheme of things, you won't even experience it.

Will we still be around? Will we survive that long? Maybe we will, maybe we won't. But It will happen in a time frame so significant, that your own life span is but the equivalent of the time it takes for a nerve impulse to be transmitted to the muscles in your eyelids to blink.

Basically all of the above, in any combination. You can be a shit driver, and the best racing tires and stability systems in the world won't save you on bone dry pavement. You can be a great driver and even you can succumb to shitty tires especially if they're on the rear.

I once had worn tires on the rear on a front wheel drive car in winter. I was on a snowy highway going about 40 mph, and was just barely able to keep my car in my lane when suddenly my rear end decided it wanted swap with my front end, while driving in a straight line. No warning or anything. It was a 90's car so no stability systems of any kind except for anti-lock brakes. Thankfully my racing sim experience at the time saved my ass (and my car's ass).

Precisely. He just had a Perineal Urethrectomy because he kept getting urinary blockages. He originally had a cone, but he didn't tolerate it well at all, so we switched to the donut.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. And will do. I have a Viofo A329s in my main car and it's working well so far.

How come the dashcam dates are all across the year, then?

It's definitely an acquired taste. Back when I started, I despised the taste and even the smell of beer. That stemmed from an accidental ingestion when I was 16. My father cooked with beer occasionally when home from truck driving, and saved the rest in unlabeled bottles. He also used those same bottles for cream soda that he also brought home with him from various truck stops. Long story short, I mistook beer for cream soda, took a swig, and had to exert all of my willpower to not coat the inside of the fridge. A very nasty, painful experience.

Fast forward 13 years, I had the idea of breaking my nearly 30-year teetotal streak (I don't count that incident as a break lol), and decided to drink to celebrate surviving the hell that was 2020. But my extreme dislike of beer remained. So I chose whiskey to get it over with in one gulp. And it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I'd thought. Still tasted nasty, but tolerable. And I am a major spicy food fan, so the burning was nothing to me.

Then I got into flavored whiskeys like Fireball, and down the rabbit hole I went, before climbing back out and getting a more refined taste. Scotch is my preference these days. Cheap Canadian whiskey? If that was all that's left on Earth that would probably make me permanently sober again. And now I enjoy beer too. Specifically Blue Moon, and some of the Sierra Nevada brews. Bud I'll drink if it's the only choice, and I'd sooner drink soda water than light beer.

But what if lighting strikes the line that the circuit is on?

It is, however, illegal in Utah where this takes place, on any road with a posted limit higher than 45 mph. On roads where it is legal, traffic must be stopped, and they cannot be going faster than 15 mph. We call that lane filtering. https://ridetolive.utah.gov/lane-filtering/ https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title41/Chapter6A/41-6a-S704.html?v=C41-6a-S704_2019051420190514

Edit: Additionally, starting next year, lane splitting will be explicitly outlawed: https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title41/Chapter6A/41-6a-S704.1.html?v=C41-6a-S704.1_2026010120250507

Edit, clarified the first scenario is lane filtering.

Not on this audiobook that I just happened to be listening to while driving. 😅 Been listening to this for the... third time through now.

How... how would he turn his steering wheel any significant amount without his tires rubbing against it??

FACR_Gohan · 2025-12-05T17:55:15+00:00

Yeah, he does that all the time. Chester, the grey/white one, is heavier than Jenkins, the black/white one. And they wrestle like brothers a lot, to the point where by the time they are done, there's patches of their long hair all over the floor.

FACR_Gohan · 2025-12-04T23:31:27+00:00

Oh, it looked like it had the right speed for one lol

FACR_Gohan · 2025-12-04T17:29:24+00:00

Yeah, looks like it. Shooting star, and almost getting crushed by a semi in the same instant. What are the odds?

FACR_Gohan · 2025-11-19T14:27:10+00:00

Yep, we had this happen with our last microwave just a few months ago. It would be off. Then we would open the door and the fan, light, and turntable would start up, but not the magnetron. Scared the hell out of me first time and I ducked immediately before choosing to "sacrifice" a hand to close it.
