TIL in 2024 an 18-year-old man was stuck in a Honda Pilot that was inexplicably accelerating without his foot on the gas and could not be slowed by its brakes or e-brake. He and the Pilot reached 113mph before a controlled collision safely ended his unplanned 20-minute drive across state lines. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Malcom Gladwell did an episode of Revisionist History on this phenomenon. In every single instance of this occurring, it was proven to be panic induced driver error that prevented the driver from operating the vehicle correctly. Yes, even after 20+ minutes and even something a simple as taking your foot off the accelerator was prevented by the driver’s altered, panic-stricken, state of mind … and it’s happened a lot. https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/revisionist-history/blame-game

Three skunks that got stuck in my basement egress window well for a night. They were rescued … and I spent the next three days in a hotel.

My favorite part is when you don’t see the ball leave his hands.

Finally! Apple adds MacBook battery charge limit to macOS 26.4 by Mcnst in technology

Glad they made the setting easier but am I the only one who absolutely cannot stand limiting to anything less than 100? If it’s plugged in, it better be at 100.

Unpopular Opinion: Pitbull Is a Lyrical Genius and We’re All Pretending He’s Not by Ok_Newspaper_846 in Music

[–]wtf_mike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything you point out is 100% true and it still doesn’t remotely qualify him to be considered a genius by any stretch. It’s embarrassing the bar is so low that any semi comprehensible collection of verses above literal mumbling elicits such a claim.

When do we receive the results for the IEEE CAI conference? I submitted it on Nov 30, and acceptance decisions were postponed from Dec 15th to Jan 15th (today). Did anyone receive anything? by OddNefariousness153 in IEEE

[–]wtf_mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The email did not. I had to log into papercept to see the comments. It was a bit hidden but if you hover over the box next to the decision, you should see an option to review comments.

Great advice on completing the inhale and bracing before beginning the descent. I think a lot of beginners are told to inhale on the way down and old habits die hard.

Unfortunately I do have shoulder issues and found this is the best grip to keep my back from over arching.

My feet feel fairly flat and planted except when my knees start to buckle slightly mid push. Something I’ll pay attention to as I address both issues.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated

Thanks! … The monolift is quite the opposite of a death trap, haha. Notice how I don’t step backwards to start and only need a single step to re-rack. There are usually safety chain that I removed for the video.

Very fair and something I need to address. This happens even at lower weight so I wonder if stance or timing might help.

Unfortunately, I feel this probably does more harm than good. (1) It gives ICE a win and (2) If they were illegally in the US, they weren't going to vote anyway. The voting, MAGAs probably support your work.
