Located on Deck 6, Room 2054. Mass evacuation site for decks 5-10.

I'm someone's favorite.

  • What if I can operate several different types of forklifts, reach trucks, skid steers, and an excavator, but I'm not "certified"?

  • Ouch

    Jump
  • Given how far she can "hear" people screaming through a mountain, it'd be interesting to know the limits of her "vision".

    Like we saw that she can "see" farther if she's on solid ground, and if she concentrates on the solid floor or something connected to it.

    We also saw she can increase her "vision" by punching into the rock and (using a few assumptions here) using the vibrations of the strike combined with more of her skin being in contact with the stone.

    So could she use a large metal ball to smash into the earth to "see" a super long distance? Could she see huge cave systems in mountains? Could she locate lost civilizations from miles away?

    Also, what does an earthquake "look" like?

    So many things sighted people will never know.

  • Literally, if you know there's 0 chance of it happening, why not test?

    Note: this is very different when you're a government entity making the claim and doing the test vs when you're an individual making a claim and then someone else does the test, especially if law enforcement or other government bodies are involved.

    If the UK investigators were so sure, then doing the tests remove all doubts, and nobody can point to it and go "then why didn't you test? Seems shady to me" because... Well... Seems shady to me.

  • The last time it got above 95 where I live, I was a child, nobody went outside that week, and everyone was complaining that it was the hottest days they've ever felt there.

    It's already happened 3 times this year. Once in "winter". All of this week has been above 95.

    This is the hottest year of your life....

    Every year.

    Until you die.

    Potentially of heat-related conditions.

  • Dudes an XP hog.

  • Then you get to NewGame++, try to skill your way through, then they pull out surprise moves, are a lot faster, and mock your pitiful attempts to damage them.

    And this isn't even their final form.

  • Do.... Do people care what the REAL scarlet Johansson, Jennifer Aniston or Elton John have to say about Ukraine defending itself and it's people against a fascist invasion?

    I mean, I find their stuff entertaining, sure, but like.... Why would I listen to their tactical analysis in the first place?

  • Oh no, not again.

  • Please drink Verification Can.

  • Oh, their position can absolutely be changed.

    It's just that not enough of the American people are quite there yet.

  • It's like making the new guy wear the hot pink safety vest when he forgot his normal hi-vis.

    Or making the recruit carry the log "rifle" when they forget something for their service weapon.

    So far the only people to be repeat Helmet of Shamers are people who want to wear the ridiculous helmets.

    Which I'm fine with. My wife often wears the unicorn helmet. Sometimes I wear the purple silicone Mohawk one with her just because.

    It works.

    And if someone couldn't afford a good fitting helmet, I will happily go with them to buy one so I'm sure it's a proper fit. Too many people wear helmets loosely or a size too large/fitted large.

    My original excuse for not wearing a helmet was "it's too expensive for a good one so why bother" but my first crash, I immediately went to get a helmet when I went out the following day. Had to be driven home because I couldn't even walk for a few hours thanks to the thrashing my legs took. Had that been my head, I'd be dead.

    So yeah, I WILL shame people for not wearing a helmet when they're perfectly able to. But it's like... Pretty mild in terms of "shame" in my opinion.

  • There are a few people here and there who have been stoked to wear it, and ask if they can "borrow it next time"

    And as long as they wear a helmet, I'm happy they're happy.

  • A large number of manufacturers build in the speed limit but helpfully, they've provided a handy little Speed Wire you can cut to remove the limiting circuit.

    At least, most of the aftermarket escs I've seen while looking to part together my own hub motor build have had a little loop included specifically for cutting out the speed control. Although I'd probably solder in a toggle switch for when I lend people my bike...

  • A friend of mine once asked me to plan an afternoon bicycle trip for a bunch of teenagers to help out with a youth group he volunteered for.

    After making sure everyone had signed forms stating the rules of the trip from who you're taking directions from to what equipment needs to be brought, helmets were first on the list. In caps. Hilighted... Someone came without a helmet for him or his son. Straight up told them the only way they're continuing with our group is to find a properly fitting helmet in the Helmet Of Shame bin I keep for such events.

    They're all some sort of ridiculous design like painted on unicorns and stuff. Like 90% things most people wouldn't want to wear, since I usually buy my Shame Helmets from clearance racks.

    They chose to go home.

    Seems a little ridiculous to me but their loss. Everyone else had a blast.

  • More like "we can never know the TRUE purpose of the broken column, but due to its obvious penis shape, it is widely accepted to have been religious or ceremonial in nature"

    Edit: which now I'm wondering if that was the original meme

  • I'm sorry for all the dolly fans out there, but I have a confession... I don't care for her music.

    But I will defend this woman simply because her charity work alone makes her deserving of much more.

    And I know I don't even know half of what she does.

    So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go sharpen up my torches and light my pitchforks, because ain't nobody dissing dolly Parton around me.

  • But you simply don't understand, he wore a TAN SUIT!!!

  • Fair enough, given the small dimensions I figured lightweight and easy to repair/replace is the biggest feature you're going for.

    I considered adding in a "for if you want to take a step up" to it, but that sounded to me like I was trying to say yours is somehow lesser, which is definitely not the case.

    Too bad videos can't give a good idea of sound quality, because I'd love to hear it. Based on the specs I can see, this thing should be a nice little powerhouse in it's own right!

  • My wife insists that broccoli is disgusting.

    I like it. It's not like super flavorful or anything, but I'll roast and salt a little broccoli for something to add to my fettuccine. She always passes and refuses to even try it.

    More for me.
