KoRMaK posted:surely those people died I was thinking that was gonna happen but if you watch it through it looks like they got ultra lucky and it managed to keep enough lift to set them down gently. There's a chance the power lines fried them, but its also pretty possible that they were okay, just scared as gently caress. The materials the basket and chute are made from won't conduct electricity after all. I didn't see anybody drop from the basket, at least.

Even then the arc flash from that could have screwed that guy up. Looks like the basket protected him though. Still, that’s a lucky human being right there.

Jfc no kidding. I'd have been more afraid of the electricity than the drop, but I also help put together PSAs for electrical safety and get to hear stories of guys losing limbs or getting their sternum burned out because they weren't careful/didn't look out for power lines.

Phanatic posted:The bookstore made famous first by Portlandia, then by its kicking Portlandia out in a manner that out-parodied the parody, is closing its doors. Why? I have no loving idea, let them tell it: I know the owners of the art gallery next door to them, and AFAIK they just weren't great business owners. They kept half the space as a book store and the other half as a meeting place for groups (feminist groups, social justice meetings, yoga, etc) and didn't charge them to use it. There were many times I would be at the gallery and the book store was closed. No signs of why. Just not open when the hours on the door said they'd be. Multiple people would try and enter, only to be met with confusion. The gallery owners tried to help them, but AFAIK most of their suggestions fell on deaf ears. They were actually pretty nice people. They just made poor business decisions. E: This was around 1-2 years ago, too.

Thats an insane sound that you only hear in a specifc circumstance. chitoryu12 posted:Amazingly, the sole passenger was completely uninjured. quote:“The sound of a transformer blowing is something you will never forget,” Karrick said. “It was soul-shaking. It was so loud.”  You rarely get that change to experience to that much energy and not diee: it ROSE so quickly after the power lines. Was it because all that hot arc air?

I also saw a post the other day that said she kept getting referred to as "Crowley's opponent" in headlines rather than having her name in them, so I'm glad she's winning. e: Even that AP post just says by his challenger. What the hell?

Solice Kirsk posted:Why can't creepy weirdos go back to falling in love with strippers instead of Twitch streamers? I at least understand falling in love with strippers because they put their naked boobies in your face. I'm not sure if its still the case but even after the wear a shirt rule on twitch. alot of female streamers were either straight up trolls getting angry mra's to donate to them because they had their chat on lock down and it was the only way to "insult them" or hey if you subscribe ill pm you my snapchat. I imagine theres alot of cross over between cam work and streaming for the second group of women streamers. Hell I wouldnt be surprised if alot of the more attractive male streamers do it to.

Zesty posted:loving christ. Even the people who LIVE the changes refuse to accept it. That's really disheartening and a bad omen for the rest of America. Yeah... Not terribly surprised by any of that rhetoric. Grew up in rural Pennsylvania. Conservative chucklefucks abound. Once they believe something, that's basically the perpetual truth to them. It's pretty endemic across most of the United States tbh, and I'm sure it's something of a global phenomenon. People are stupid.

Over the weekend NZ played vs England in a rugby league match in Denver, Colarado as a sort of show case for the sport. I genuinely laughed when listening to the lady singing the NZ national anthem before the game. Annoyingly I can't find the raw footage without the silly news caster voice overs. Even if this is the first time you heard the anthem you will be able to notice it's awful (but hilarious). e- I actually found it on twitter instead of youtube. https://twitter.com/benharlum/status/1010628718765727746 - the news clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9ReFO1kOTE Jippa has a new favorite as of 08:55 on Jun 27, 2018 |
