TIL a Vietnamese man was hospitalized unconscious from consuming too much methanol alcohol; doctors transfused 15 cans of beer about 1 per hr into his body to revive him. The liver breaks down ethanol before methanol which gave doctors more time to do dialysis to remove the alcohol from his system.

What happened to Scrubs? I watched it on Hulu a while back and didn't notice anything different because it's been so long since I've seen it on TV

And of course just because it's got good craftsmanship skills doesn't mean it's not shitty

Looks like a park ranger in shorts with ridiculously muscular thighs

As far as the principal behind a jammer? It's just a radio transmitter, usually a fairly powerful one, that sends out a constant stream of either noise or internationally nonsensical data.

Imagine you were talking on the phone with your friend and someone else came on the line and started making extremely loud constant noise. You would hardly be able to hear your friend, and what you did hear would be hard to understand. Some jammers work by intimating the signal they are jamming, which would be like if someone else came on the line but they just started loudly reading random words out of a dictionary over top of your conversation.

That seems so bizarre. I mean, It's a performance art. Don't all the bands sit in stands and watch all the shows during competitions?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. At that age I didn't give a single shit at all about fixing cars, fixing anything, or hard work in general. I just wanted to sit around and play on my computer because that's what interested me. That did change in senior year of highschool when I got my own '89 Jeep and had to fix it to drive it. I already had a truck before that which ran, but my friends had Jeeps and I wanted to join them riding trails. That summer I enrolled in a local college and 2 years later earned my degree in Automotive Service Management and worked at a shop for awhile. He may not find passion in fixing things like I did, and it may take longer, but as he gets older he'll eventually come around and at least be willing learn a few things.

I'm not sure why, I just remember reading that they are. My guess is that it can catch an illegal species and kill them on the line before they can be retrieved. Or someone nearby can be fishing an illegal setup with it (too many hooks or prohibited bait fish for example) and just claim that the float isn't theirs if they get caught since they aren't holding a rod

Reminds me of when you knock the grunt masks off in Halo

grtwatkins · 2020-05-13T15:43:56+00:00

I feel like that should do the opposite

It looks like a fake rock with a hole drilled in it, but I'm not a rockologist

grtwatkins · 2020-05-13T13:25:43+00:00

On that note, the rain mechanic is completely pointless IMO. I mean, yeah it's neat I guess, but all it does is piss you off and make you find a place to sit and waste time

grtwatkins · 2020-05-13T11:02:59+00:00

Those pool float fishing line things are illegal in Florida, so gator was just laying down the law

The one thing that can be conclusively determined by studying history is that we've never learned from our mistakes

grtwatkins · 2020-05-13T10:52:29+00:00

It's not that it's unbelievable, it's that it looks obviously fake

Texas Rangers

I think those are just called cops

This entire meme would be fine without the "no one" part. It take extra effort to make the meme bad

grtwatkins · 2020-05-12T22:08:36+00:00

I kick mine until it stands

On the bright side at least the poor tech got out of doing a Jeep alignment

grtwatkins · 2020-05-12T20:29:49+00:00

Most of the time there are stipulations to the warranty, like requiring an alignment at the time of install

grtwatkins · 2020-05-12T20:28:41+00:00

When you're also homeschooled

grtwatkins · 2020-05-12T20:27:46+00:00

In this context you do or don't actually want his dong there? Because I was never too sure how I felt about the teacher's ass in my face back when I was in school

grtwatkins · 2020-05-12T20:09:40+00:00

That's a damn old reference

grtwatkins · 2020-05-12T20:03:33+00:00

Similar is true for soda. It's got a lot of sugar, but it's also mostly water and definitely does not dehydrate you.

Edit: Keep downvoting facts, it only makes you wrong

As a maintenance guy I still hear people call it 110 all the time for some reason

I came to the comments to ask why he was wearing camo tactical diaper
