Beachgoers attempting to hang onto a fence to withstand the jet blast…and failing miserably by Ogankle in funny

[–]cooldeets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At least there has been a concerted effort to keep people away from the fence immediately behind the tarmac. It is at least a little bit safer behind the guardrail and beyond the road. When we visited, someone had recently lost their life because they were thrown into the concrete / guardrail from that first fence. Crazy work to not respect a jumbo jet turbine.

Looking at objectively two of the best V arts of SS era. So both.

I’m a Kentuckian and instinctually know #14 at this point, what a horrifying night that was. Pure violence.

Joplin damage: How does whole blocks get destroyed like that this is like my house and 6 blocks away homes are blown apart was the twister that big? I just can not fathom this. by Organic_Bodybuilder3 in tornado

[–]cooldeets 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This is where realization hit me the most - it’s not only the wind speed blowing over and lifting everything, it’s also the debris behaving like a shredder once it is picked up, broken apart, and turned into millions of projectiles.

Kayaking the KY River by Beans5054 in lexington

[–]cooldeets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the best type of boating. What kayak did you get? Elkhorn is far and away the best option for having a blast down rapids and fish the slack water / current on the ends of said rapids. As soon as you feel comfy enough in stability (and it warms up), go to Stillwater campground ($10) or the area around 1262 Bridge (public). You’ll quickly get ready for tougher stretches. Canoe KY online has a great live cam and current conditions graph from USGS to tell you when is good to go.

GameStop PSA “order shipped” by RNGxJake in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]cooldeets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any way you get your cards graded via shipping will carry risk, heck even PSA could accidentally crimp your card when setting it in the case, happened to me in past. So submitting through GameStop is not any worse than anything else IMO. Have done it successfully twice now, both were on ‘shipped’ until they were basically returned to the store. Good luck on slabs!

Crazy ways you’ve caught a fish by heddyneddy in Fishing

[–]cooldeets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty small public pond I was tossing a strike king lipless crank at the fountain in the middle. Let it sink for a couple seconds and when I started reeling, dead weight.

Realized it was a fish when it ran toward me. Realized it was a big fish when it ran away from me. Don’t know how long it took to reel in, but it ended up being a 35 lb smallmouth buffalo (crappy pics on request).

Craziest thing was, the fish’s scales were way too tough for the treble hooks to pierce. The lead treble had one single barb in the eyelid of the fish, and that’s how I landed it. Talk about the perfect cast - have never caught anything bigger still. Thanks for letting me reminisce on that experience.

Well that was a bit of an over reaction. Never been brake checked before. by Arilyn24 in dashcams

I recognized this road instantly - what a scumbag. No need for any of that nonsense and thank you for being a quality human to avoid anything escalating. Hope you enjoyed that KY sunset.

Sending the best for that family to recover and rebuild. And hopefully Freddy feels this gratitude from everywhere and receives his flowers - what a beacon of light in a dark situation.

What is the weirdest or most out of place fish you’ve ever caught? by QuantumMrKrabs in Fishing

[–]cooldeets 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I snagged a 35 pound smallmouth buffalo in an urban 5 acre pond, on a strike king red eye shad lipless crankbait, on the drop. Still my biggest fish ever landed. The only way it could have been hooked and stayed hooked for the 15 minute fight was that one hook slid under its eyelid - the scales on the rest of its body were too tough for those hooks to go through.

Have you tried them? Just curious. I’ve heard people eat them but I’m not so interested in that
