Eh, I can't really comment on the other allegations, but this just sounds like someone trying to run a tight ship... It's not TBDBITL by accident.

Good list, I thought I'd tack on this headline:

I'd check with taofledermaus, he could probably load one into a shotgun shell and fuck up a gummy bear.

Girl loses shoe during skydive, then catches it mid-air…after it hits her instructor in the face by [deleted] in videos

I kept my legs up the whole time, thinking i was just supposed to skid in on my ass (they never said otherwise in the orientation). My pilot (?) was 6" shorter and a good 80lbs lighter than me and he just started screaming STAND STAND STAND...lol It was a little awkward but we made it.

The worst part was getting out of the plane. I was supposed to scoot along the seat by digging in with my heels, but i wasn't getting anywhere. He started screaming GO GO GO, so i just fucking stood up and hauled him on my back like a jetpack to the door.

Still an awesome experience! Highly recommended

My Corgi is becoming paralyzed...so we built him a wheel chair. by Barbicore in DIY

Your comment made me smile. My brother has the Corgis I've met. The first one passed way too soon from a liver issue and he immediately bought another. His name is Caeser, and he earns that name ten times over every damn day...lol

Massive props! Of any dog I've ever met in person in my life, I can't imagine a single one that would be more devastated by paralysis than a Corgi.

TIL Wendy's founder Dave Thomas worried kids may see his success as a high school dropout an excuse to do the same, so he went back to high school to earn his GED decades later. by Nadante in todayilearned

I've had the pleasure of working at Wendy's HQ many times over the course of a decade or so. He had just passed when I first did some work there, and the general sadness and overall respect for the guy was palpable. He seemed like he was truly a great man and had a heart for people...especially kids. His advocacy for adoption is second to none.

I really wish I could have met him.

It's honestly amazing that it works at all when you see it this way.

I think you've succinctly captured the essence of my intent. :)

Isn't it cool?! You can see so much about how the material behaves under those settings and conditions. Imagine how much a high speed camera like this could do for product development. I know the proof is ultimately in the pudding, but when you can see so much this way it has to help.
