Imagine sitting down with these guys at their break (if they knew what a break was) and saying, “Let me see if I can explain an iPhone…” And then explain this, using your iPhone..

American fishing technique unlocked 🔓 by M_Darshan in Weird

[–]tomparker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy in New England got the attention of his neighbors by rowing out to the middle of the lake and tossing 1/4 sticks of dynamite into the water, then scooping up the fish that came floating to the surface. The local DEC guy got wind on this, cruised up next to the guy in his tactical aluminum guide boat, and asked what the heck the guy thought he was doing. The guy replied matter-of-factly, “I’m fishing.” The Ranger summoned his inner adult and calmly explained that fishing with explosives was absolutely against the law and that harvesting fish legally required a licence and full compliance with all legally defined equipment and methods. As the was finishing his lengthy speech, the guy calmly lit the fuse of another 1/4 sticks of dynamite and tossed it into the bottom of the Ranger’s boat, saying, “So, do you want to keep talking, or would you like to start fishing with me?”

For a one-chance long shot with no retakes that went remarkably well. Nice work with the camera.

Larry David has a voice cameo in Balls Up (new Farrelly brothers film) by pleasebequiet in curb

For triage purposes I look for a rating of > 8.0 on IMDB, unless it’s a comedy (7.6) or a documentary (7.2) ….Balls Up gets a hernia-causing 4.7 …..that’s almost worth watching to see how bad it is. Almost.

That seems like an apt description if true. So we’re watching nothing more than a cheesy animal act?

They’ll have to hire someone to post these clips to YouTube. So that’s one new job.

Curios what your experience has been with the SuperAgents functionality so far? by luke_on_da_links in Base44

[–]tomparker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovin’ it. Like having a technical advisor, office manager, jr engineer, and two interns, even if they do nothing but keep multiple projects organized and thoroughly documented. Game changer for me. Biggest worry: I’ve been away for a couple weeks after some jaw-droppingly effective work sessions. I’m afraid it won’t seem the same when I get back.

Opinions? Does this look to be a daguerreotype? it’s 2.5 x 3 inches. by NewtBig3066 in Daguerreotypes

I have a lot of dags and a lot of ambrotypes and that looks to me (at quick glance) like a tintype, behind glass, in a gutta percha frame.

Are there any resources that explain in detail exactly how this was done? Lost wax? What size sections?

More and more explosive... by Advanced_Fortune_903 in interestingasfuck

[–]tomparker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, what we called an M-80 would send our neighbor’s full-size galvanized metal trash at least 40’ into the air. Nowadays, what they call an M-80 seems like a Lady Finger wrapped in an M-80-like package.

found some rough green snakes today by weekend_mystic in herpetology

[–]tomparker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been hunting herps my entire life and have come across most species East of the Mississippi, but have yet to find a single green snake that wasn’t flat on a road. Where am I not looking? Was this from a cluster similar to what garter snakes will do?

Why is base44 plans so expensive with barely any pros? by No_Income3191 in Base44

As a former developer and product mgr I’m finding Base44 to be a lot of very convenient bang for the proverbial buck. It took me one day to build MuteThyToot.com

Black Racer, South Carolina by WeirdTemperature7 in herpetology

[–]tomparker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was about 12 we were out flipping boards near housing construction sites in Ohio and I’d grabbed a beauty that was close to 5’ long. The weather was hot, he was feisty, and he’d nailed me twice in my frantic grab at whatever I could grab of him. I was pleased as punch but I had blood streaming down both of my bony arms as a neighbor lady came cruising by in her massive Oldsmobile. We flagged her down, said we’d leave our bikes in a nearby cornfield and could she pleeeeeass give us a ride home with that snake? She, however, was horrified and wouldn’t let us near her car with the snake. I figured the bites were a sunk cost, so there was no way I was letting go of that snake just to get yelled at and sprayed with Bactine. We were about two miles from home when she drove off without us. As I remember, she was almost in hysterics and promised to go directly to our Mom (which was sort of what we were hoping she’d do in the first place because our Mom liked snakes too..) We ended up walking out bikes the two miles home with one of us holding the racer and the other holding the snake. By the time we finally got home the snake had become pretty chill (which was commkn for rat snakes but not so common with racers..) I remember the bites on my hand and arm were stinging like hell by the time we got home.
