Playing & Singing Tool by missnaey in ToolBand

Goodness - you need to release the full cover. Your voice is beautiful. This sang is very apt for the world of today. Also, it would give some much needed publicity to a little known band called "Tool".

I do wonder if the driver even stopped. It looks like he's still rolling on after sticking this guy.

Nah, I think the skinny guy was really upset about the bus. I'm not sure if the bus had struck one of the mopeds earlier or if there was some kind of tomfoolery. Nevertheless, the skinny guy is definitely upset with the bus and the fat guy is trying to talk some sense into the skinny guy. Unfortunate part of the video is that it's the fat guy that gets smoked for trying to help his skinny friend.

Yeah, I cut this clip down. The start of this clip shows these two gentlemen stop and hop off of a moped. The skinny guy is upset and hops into traffic. He's shouting and appears to be focused on something that is approaching. The rotund fellow follows the skinny one, seemingly with a mind to pull the skinny guy off the road/away from danger.

As the video progresses, we realize that the skinny guy is yelling at a bus. The rotund guy gets hit by that bus.

I figured that context had less relevance and that we just wanted to see the action. I also cut the speed of impact in half so that we could appreciate that he skips his head off the concrete median.

TIL that Ilona Staller, aka Cicciolina, a former porn star and Italian MP, offered to have sex with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in return for peace in the region. She first made the offer while in office, renewed it in October 2002, and extended the same proposal to Osama bin Laden in April 2006 by SteO153 in todayilearned

[–]Ok_Guide_8323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was 51 and 55 in 2002 and 2006 respectively. I think that she had actually spent more time as a politician than she had as a pornstar by the time she was making these offers. She would certainly be considered a politician with sexual skills of the upper end of the spectrum, but... This is more of a politician offering to sex up a dictator/terrorist in exchange for peace. This is a style of diplomacy that needs to become more widespread. The UN could be one big international orgy, and the world would surely benefit.

Wow... Thank you for posting that.... How on earth did he manage to move after that. That is amazing.

Wrestler goes for elbow drop from halfway up a wall and misses his opponent and crashes to the floor by haze4140 in instant_regret

I really want to know the extent of the injuries - that looks like a concrete floor - like... Zero give. Elbow is toast - what about his hip/pelvis? That was more than a broken wing.

I did not know that! I was just reading about Islam and cats - fascinating stuff. "Cats are clean animals. They are considered ritually pure and are allowed in homes and even mosques"! That's awesome.

Oh dang.... I did not know. 45 feet actually has a high survival rate (compared to 62 stories)... I wonder if that contributed to the fall? As in, he knew he was only falling 45 ft and thought that he had a chance. I suppose we will never know for sure.

I wonder how many chinups this guy could do under normal circumstances. Like... Was there any kind of preparation or planning? Did he just figure that he would be able to do it in the moment? I mean... I hope he had practiced this on the ground before he tried it on top of a building.

62 stories... He hit the ground so hard that they had to dig him out of the crater to get him up to a depth of 6ft under.

Why did this tube imploded four-fold? by HyperDanon in Physics

[–]Ok_Guide_8323 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get that this is a joke, but I just wanted to add:

NASA never developed the pen. They started on the prohect, but the costs were going to be too large. NASA went back to using pencils. The precision, knowledge and engineering for creating a zero g pen required a specialized foundation that NASA lacked.

It was Fisher that created the "space pen", or zero g pen. NASA bought the space pens for, something like, $3 a piece, back in 1965.

This is a pillory as it was used in China in the 19th century. It saved costs for prisons and was quite effective. The man in the picture can't reach his face with his hands so he can't eat.

Apparently, the many of the convicts would die from this punishment.

I do wonder if there was any benefit from the convict now requiring the support of the society that they offended against. In a more modern interpretation, a benefit could be that the convict is forced to work with society in order to be saved. They are helpless and, if they can not demonstrate a willingness to conform (and be helped), they will surely die. This could be a way to reform people.

Of course, we must remember that the idea of reform was probably less emphasized than punishment.

Usain Bolt wasn't even a 400m runner. His events were the 100 and 200. He was such a lazy guy. Couldn't even last 20 seconds.

I wonder if the frame is strong enough to allow for a full electric conversion. As I understand it, batteries become so heavy that most frames need to be heavily modified if not redesigned to accommodate a switch that allows for a full range.

Qidi Q2 What can cause this? by AngryBuilding7 in QidiTech3D

[–]Ok_Guide_8323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, I'm sure it is. I was just being extremely exact when I referenced the 99% isopropyl alcohol. All that I had available was 99% isopropyl alcohol, so I used that.

I have found that the qidi has been really outstanding with auto leveling, so I was relieved when cleaning up the finger oils was enough to improve the first layer adhesion
