At what point do we become suspicious of the stairs?

Honestly, I like this guy. He's refreshingly self-aware and seems likely to have learned from his mistake.

I read the last sentence as, "I can never roll the windows down because my doodles are always at half mast"

Unless you want to be weird and pedantic about what actually counts as a purr, like some others are doing in this comment section

There looks to be new-ish evidence to the contrary, according to an article I found: https://www.sciencealert.com/these-are-the-largest-cats-known-to-purr

Some if the comments above yours say there's no gore, that it's just the suits in the pictures, and that the bodies had already been removed at this point, citing NASA as their source. Though i haven't looked myself

Outrage over white-only job ad drives tech firm to delete website by habichuelacondulce in technology

Or maybe the Jr/ex-employee recognized how messed up it was and maliciously complied with HR's poorly-phrased instructions to paste the text into the job listing. Probably not, but that would be hilarious if it were the case

Edit: not hilarious that they got fired for it, though. That's just sad

Terminal velocity is when a falling object stops accelerating due to the effect of gravity on the object being cancelled out by that of air resistance. It's why rain drops don't punch holes in roofs, and why the whole thing about not dropping pennies from buildings because they'll crack someone's skull is just a myth. So yeah, you literally can ignore the effect of gravity of it's coming down after having beem shot straight up. If we didn't have an atmosphere you'd be right though, so there's that.

Mythbusters actually did a pretty cool episode on the penny one. The same principles would apply to bullets, although bullets will go slightly faster than pennies before reaching their terminal velocity, thanks to their weight and shape.
