What I want to know is why the ref is halfway across the ring when Hopkins is already falling out and still getting pummeled.

I was wondering the same thing, the ref should have been over there to make sure the older guy isn't getting blocked in and to break them up.


This guy is having the worst day ever.

That’s tempered glass, which is needed for strength and also so it breaks into small, pathetic chunks and not a few deadly shards.

Ideally you’d used laminated and tempered glass, so that if it breaks it’s still contained, but that would raise the cost and then Wal★Mart would buy from someone else and put you out of business.

Eh, it's tempered glass. That's the best possible failure mode for a glass bathroom scale. Regular plate glass you'd end up with sliced tendons and huge lacerations.

Why glass scales even exist is somewhat less clear.

Maybe cheaper to make and ship? I have no idea, sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Tempered glass scales look nicer than a big piece of plastic. I had one that blew up without being touched, just shattered one day and I came home to a pile of broken glass.

It’s an omen.

Real answer to why someone would want a glass scale: they’re easier to clean.

Sydney, Australia: After having it's nightlife decimated by heavy-fisted and poorly planned lockout laws, the government decided to fund an ad campaign featuring a d-list celebrity enjoying a wholesome night out on the town with his mates.

It has not gone too well...

Regarding the one of the kid in front of the zoo: that's the kid's parent deciding to take advantage of the zoo's closure due to the 2014 govt shutdown to have a laugh. It's not really schadenfreude.

Holy hell that is one of the most cringe-filled videos I've seen in awhile. Why did the city think it was (A) a good idea, and (B) start passing these laws in the first place?

^^^ I was expecting worse but as I read the article places can stay open until 3 with last call at 1.30. In the US most bars have to close at 2 so finding alcohol after that is basically impossible, it doesn't sound THAT much worse. Are the curfews like hardcore 'you're not allowed to be outside' or do businesses just have to close?

Ragequit posted:

5 Rangers isn't really Schadenfreude (maybe for the bad guy?), but absolutely worth checking out if you like what you have seen so far. It's about a group of heroes that completely fucks up their costumes, ignoring the constant set of directions from the bad guy.

Isn't it also essentially improv? Like the bad guy doesn't know what the other costumes are in advance and has to react to them in realtime? Regardless, everyone should watch the first few episodes at least, the series definitely escalates as it goes on.

The state government brought in the laws as a good way of forcing all entertainment towards the casino and away from places like the major gay nightclub area and King's Cross, centres of all evil that makes nice clean boys like Premier Baird uncomfortable.

The laws were brought in after a fatal assault in the main precinct of nightclubs and restaurants but specifically excepts the casino from these laws. The laws are also more complex than at first look; the amount of alcohol is strictly curtailed after midnight and the fines are exorbitant. The overall effect is to kill nightlife completely. Many associated businesses have shut down because the crowds just disappeared.

The curfew is on the businesses, not the patrons. But there's no point if there's nothing to do. Sydney CBD (except the casino!) is effectively dead at night now. The culture is as dead as the jobs of thousands of people who depended on it.

In this aspect, I love Lisbon. Some bars have after hours parties until noon in here, most bars close at 4 am and discos at 7/8. It's a great city for night life (granted most of the people who last until noon are high on coke or molly)

I spent way too long trying to figure out what that floating balloon/umbrella thing in the sky was before I realized it was a tent that blew away. I thought it was a porn balloon that got away or something.

And the process has left me thinking that it would be a hilarious prank to fill a bunch of blowup sex dolls with helium and release them over the suburbs.
