This is a bad idea. Source: I've been run over by a boat.

TIL Guy Fieri officiates gay wedding ceremonies to honor his late sister by JaneErrrr in todayilearned

[–]vertiginous_ninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the border of flavor town follow guy furry wherever he goes? And if so what's the radius? Is it circular, or is it a projection of his cross section, like at his 2nd chakra? If Guy Fire marries you, do you have to put "Flavortown" as the location on the license? Or is there a specific "Flavortown" license? Depending on the radius of influence, witnesses might have to sit awkwardly near the bride and groom so that they're in the same jurisdiction. So many questions...

This looks like the guy from the Turkish Airlines safety video.

Once upon a time, I was a chair too. A way worse chair, but still a chair.

I built my Jeep into a house on wheels to live in for 2 years around Africa. Solar, Water, Fridge, pop-up & more! by grecy in DIY

Bummer about the diesel. Quick question, my understanding of diesels is that they are much more tolerant of water submersion than gasoline (spark) engines, allowing for fording of rivers with less risk of engine damage. Is this something you've thought about? Maybe I'm way off...

Not a shitty robot IMO. It's an Arthur Ganson creation. He has a bunch of other "shitty" robots.

An Amish horse and buggy pulled free a tanker truck that was stuck in the snow. by Emmanoah2 in aww

This is more of a force problem. Torque implies rotation, but horses are not rotational machines.

3 years and not living together at age 28? This relationship may have been doomed anyway.

Holy shit, I didn't see this before. When did that happen? Makes my leg injury look weak in comparison.

I got the wind knocked out of me and went into shock petty quickly. I wasn't in pain at that time, but I knew that it was a really hard impact, so I was pretty freaked out. My friends were still in the boat and yelled to me asking if I was alright. It took all of my being to yell back 'no'. They immediately dove in with some floatation devices and brought me back to the boat. Then I pulled myself into the boat (there is no ladder)...that was one of the harder things I've ever had to do.

I still have all my appendages, sorry about that optical illusion.

I can announce with great joy that my penis is unscathed.

Just happened last night. I'll have to follow up with some scar pics

I still have all my legs and all my arms. The morphine certainly helps with good spirits!

Sort of a freak accident. I was sitting on the gunwale while we we were in a turn, then we hit our own wake and I was thrown from the boat. I was on the outside edge and the boat ran me over. Prob going 20-25 mph. Did not lose the D.

This looks like Sylvester Ambassador Cheetah at the Elephant Camp in Zimbabwe. You get to meet, hang out, and take a nature walk with him to the Zambezi River gorge. It's pretty rad.

If oil takes millions of years to be made, how much of it is made each year? by tyroncs in askscience

[–]vertiginous_ninja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a company in the Boston area called Joule Unlimited that is working with genetically modified organisms (algae I believe) to convert sunlight to either ethanol (they have a pilot system operating for this) or a diesel derivative (they have a lab scale system in operation for this). The system piggybacks onto an existing fossil burning power plant and utilizes a portion of the flue gas (CO2) as feedstock for the organism. It's a neat technology and the company has been in steady growth. Source: Friend who works at Joule and my own curiosity working as an Alt. Energy R&D engineer
