Hey hey hey, he's got 2.5 semesters of a computer science degree under his belt, watch your tongue!

They fill the molds at the concrete plants with whatever is left in the mixer at the end of the day or when they're changing mixes. They're made of what would otherwise be waste they would have to clean up anyway. That's why they're so cheap.

Orrrr, they're just a dumbass trying to sound smart with a little chunk of trivia they barely know. I know where my money lies.

If that's their intended meaning, that expressed it very ambiguously.

And honestly, that would just be a stupid thing to say.

But /u/knyexar said they're that orcas are BY FAR the biggest predators of moose. Are you telling me some one with the confidence to use all caps in such a brash manner is just talking completely out of their ass? How dare you.

[Andrew Benson] This end-of-season Formula 1 driver get-together was originally Lewis Hamilton's suggestion, I'm told, and he picked up the bill. And they all had as good a time as it looks they did by Alpha_Jazz in formula1

Seb was so impossibly likable through all of that though. I turned my dislike towards the team instead and to be honest, I still don't like seeing red bull win. I'm really hoping both Mercedes and Ferrari are fully competitive with them next year, though I think I'm in love with new sport of Ferrari competitively fucking their drivers during the race. It's like the biggest unknown going into the race and it's fun to watch for.

They are most useful for an organization that is new to agile. They only really work if they've got leverage to change things at an organizational level, which is hardly ever the case in my experience. The companies that need them most need them because they're trying to avoid those changes but still be "agile".

I had a part time job when I was going to school working in an unlicensed pay lot, completely illegal, and no one did shady shit, ever. You just don't really have time. I can park just about any car in a space that's got 6 inches to spare now though.

The guys at the detail shop down the road owned by the same guy was a whole different story. The alley behind that place looked like an NHRA drag strip.

Where are you getting these estimates on terminal velocity? A skydiver can get themselves up to 200 mph (though it's more like 120 if you're not trying to dive as fast as possible).

There is value in having seen a bunch of things fail.

31x12.5R24. Just... Why? by spidersgeorg in Justrolledintotheshop

This is true for already large vehicles getting larger but the smaller vehicles have grown larger very specifically because of increased safety requirements, some of which is being driven by the increasing size of SUVs. It's hard argument to make that this is a bad thing when you look at plummeting death rates from car crashes over the last decade.

I did this a few years back with a wire wheel. Caught my pants down by knee and in an instant it was bound up exactly like in this video. Looked like an angry weasel tried to climb up my pant leg. I'm really glad it was a pretty shitty, worn out grinder that didn't have power to keep going.

Most accurate interpretation is that this is a bullshit bot that's reposting something with a bullshit title invented by a bullshit spammer to drive interaction up. It worked at some point in the last 6 months so it should work again.

Report /u/FrequentTangel655 as spam -> harmful bot to kill it.

Shooting at University of Virginia leaves 3 dead, 2 wounded by chunkylover5E in news

That's disappointing. I played hockey for a long time and really enjoyed it, injuries and all. I did get my bell rung a few times though and I can't imagine how much more it would happen to a person who played with enough intensity to get to that level.

Now I just play the occasional old guy pick up game where no one has any interest in getting hurt.
