Also, yoga mats, pool floats, even a couple thick blankets (I'll break down a few of the many Amazon boxes that are always around and slip them between blankets for extra resistance) will do a pretty good job if you manage to get them tied down properly.
Woah. From an environmental report I just found…
"The hydrocarbon emissions from a half-hour of yard work with the two-stroke leaf blower are about the same as a 3,900-mile drive from Texas to Alaska in a Ford Raptor."
I think there’s some fudging of words here. I’ve seen several folks (not just here) say that SpaceX knew this was a possibility because Elon said it was a couple weeks ago. But he didn’t really say that. Yes, he mentioned that the pad might get destroyed, but that concern was based on an entirely different reason. He didn’t think the pad could survive an immediate explosion of the entire rocket. That’s not at all what happened. Unless I’ve missed something, I don’t think anybody ever expressed concern over a slow takeoff. Maybe they should have, but that’s a different discussion than what’s being had in the public sphere right now.
Dude said at the end that the dog bit him. If anybody gave a damn about helping the homeless guy and made a deal about it with the police, that dog probably gets put down just for what's seen in the video.
Makes me curious as to what kind of bridging equipment they've been given. Is it possible/practical to quickly build temporary bridges through those marshes?
That could also be used to show it wasn’t negligent. He could be saying “this person has a flawless record, I consider her the best in the business. If she says it’s good, then everyone knows it’s good. I’m just an actor, not a trained specialist. We’re taught to rely on the specialists. In what world would I think I knew more than her?”
It’s like the reverse of pulling a table cloth without bringing down all the dishes. Drove straight through it, and the pole snapped clean-ish and dropped perfectly down through the windshield.
Holding a fire cracker up to a woman’s butt, while wearing a gimp mask, and having her fart towards it has got to be one of the most unique fetishes ever.
