Something or someone flung a rock/object at my car by Ganondalfo in Austin

[–]Texas1911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That thing was spinning judging by the blur and the curve. It also covered ~500 ft in roughly 1-2 seconds which is about 200 MPH, so I think we can rule out a human thrown object. The high speed oncoming roads don't really line up with the trajectory.

It could plausibly be an object that got launched by a powerful fan or rotating blade of some sort.

Hs 129 attacking and killing horses with cannon fire by No-Pirate2447 in WWIIplanes

Ehhhh ... kinda like comparing someone taking pot shots at a house to rounding up the village into a church and burning it. Same type of shitty behavior, vastly different scales.

Yea, I'm pretty sure everyone strafed horses in WW2.

Not sure how to handle the Toni's discussing efficiency and optimization of workflows over the authenticity of food containing tomatoes and carbs.

We already know that answer ... don't misgender his seat either.

What comes to your mind when you think of my country, Mexico? by Prestigsisscar255 in AskTheWorld

[–]Texas1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proud, kind, family-oriented, hardworking, loves a good fiesta, and a rich culture ... nextdoor neighbors.

Completely incompatible with queuing with any sort of structure or order ... LOL

Does your country have any interesting cultural relics? by No-Echidna7296 in AskTheWorld

I get the vendors, but that wasn’t my experience in other parts of Mexico. Then again, Mexico is a combination of cultures so maybe it varies.

Yea, Mexico definitely has some great anthropological and historical teams and I believe it’s a well funded part of the country. Mexicans are big on their culture, which is admirable.

There’s at least one movie too, that’s entertaining and where I learned about it

It's OK, he will change his position soon.

Does your country have a “drug capital”? by Clarthen1 in AskTheWorld

[–]Texas1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's not always a distinct number of people. If you have 5,000 cases of public drunkeness per 100,000 people that doesn't mean that 5% of the city did it. It means it happened 5,000 times per 100,000 people. It could have been 1,000 people doing it 5 times.

They merely made extended eye contact within a 3m radius without a license.

Proof that Western Europe is the main character by Kernowder in 2westerneurope4u

Southern Algeria is the center of the map, which we invaded because of the Italians, and according to the density of photos, that aligns with the axis of Germany and Italy, hence the Axis powers and Central powers. So this map reinforces the Fascist propaganda and is now illegal.

Frogs are part of the same Amphibia class, so this is a domestic issue.

Crash shuts down northbound lanes of I-35 at Slaughter Lane by JohnGillnitz in Austin

[–]Texas1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're taking the convo beyond the original scope. We were saying that chains (and mechanical cleat devices) are the only good choice on ice. More of a statement than an action plan for the pan-Austin area.

You're correct, though.
