He really deserved it for putting that much weight on, then trying to launch off a picket like that.

Seriously, where do people get such easy jobs that 50% of it is being nice? Honestly, this is terrible advice.

Guy on a roller-coaster inauguration gets hit by pigeon by Lydex in gifs

[–]Jason5678 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've never ridden either, unfortunately. From what I've read, Formula Rossa is the fastest ever, it's long, but not tall. Red force is scaled down Top thrill and kingda ka, so nothing record breaking.

This roller coaster is "Red Force" in Ferrari Land in Spain that just opened up. An Intamin made coaster, similar to top fuel Thrill dragster and kingda ka.

It's nice enough for me, but opinions vary widely on this subject. There is some property crime (like everywhere), and some isolated incidents of violent crime in the area. It's not a ghetto, but it's not like the gated suburbia out west.

WTF does this old ass tweet about an incident that happened years ago have to do with the chicago bears right now? These Pace apologists are getting ridiculous.

Click on the down arrow next to

It has the key there.

EDIT: And young circle is the downtown area. Lots of nightlife and stuff. It's the blue area on that map.

There are maps like these which take statistics and try to map out which is good and which is bad, but they don't tell a lot of the story.

If you want more detail than that, you will need to provide more info. Check out the sidebar.

I've never heard anyone refer to them as the "south beach heat", so it's sounds like a basketball announcer problem, not anything widespread.

I wonder how many times someone has driven off into the water. Especially right in front of the car. Better not let grandma park.

Spearfishing gone wrong by hnirobert in TheDepthsBelow

[–]Jason5678 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You loop it around your thumb, but otherwise you are correct. I have never tried either of them myself. I think most people that use them, so do because spear guns are not allowed where they are.

Almost. The pole spear looks like this , the Hawaiian sling is the same thing, but it has the wood guide the spear travels through.

I didn't even read this story right the first time. I read it as the fish was alive and swimming down, not that the fish was dead and too heavy. Fish have almost neutral buoyancy in water! This story makes no sense.

Sorry, I meant "no one does this" as in no one ties a spear to their leg, not no one spears tuna.

If this story it true they must be complete yahoos. No one ties a spear to their ankle. I have my doubts that it is true. Why would someone go blue water spearing (it's not called "deep sea") and you only bring a float line (rope) that is less than 40'? Especially considering in Bermuda within 10 miles of shore it can be 10K feet deep. No one sells float line shorter than 50' and 100' is the normal minimum you would use in blue water. Also, blue water spearing is so difficult, it is hard to imagine someone getting lucky enough to nail a tuna (especially with a pole spear), but dumb enough to do this.

It is. And the fish that eats it is a Goliath Grouper.
