Huh, I'm a righty and fight southpaw. We should get an apartment together!

The first time I went to a boxing class the coach was excited because I'm a right-handed southpaw, "hey champ we've got someone who can help you for your upcoming defense!". Uhh, no thanks, I'm not super interested in sparring with someone you call "champ" after my literal first lesson. Apparently right-handed southpaws are rare enough that being one is enough to give you a competitive advantage in professional fighting.

My flabby backside was never going to have anything to do with any manner of competition though.

Today in arrests:

- Zip tie guy, Eric Munchel, has been arrested. Like many of these geniuses, he had given an interview, with the Sunday Times of London. The internet helped identify Munchel.

- Another guy with flex cuffs has also been apprehended. (Both arrests are covered in this link).

The New York Times has a roundup of notable arrests. Flex cuffs guy, Larry Brock, is not included on this list.

i will never understand people who, when getting into a fight, lead with their face, that's some wimp lo poo poo

Puffing out your face/chest and spreading your arms instinctually projects confidence, like they're such a badass they can expose their off-button chins and not worry about your wimp rear end doing anything, as well as making them appear bigger than they are. A nice reminder that inside of our complex human brains are less complex animal brains and when poo poo goes down the root superuser account takes over for a bit.

To expand on Submarine Sandpaper's answer, remember when Americans thought they might get functional healthcare, and instead they got a poo poo sandwich Republicans called "Obamacare" to shift the blame?

Blue Cross was very much responsible for that.

it takes approximately 15 to 30 grams of garlic per kilograms of body weight to produce harmful changes in a dog’s blood

don't feed your dog garlic or onion but also: the literal trace amounts in a single jerky stick will literally not kill the dog, don't overstate/fearmonger

CO2 storage tanks

I'm indirectly involved with poo poo like this. I've helped coordinate putting large things on trailers just like those. The company who owns the trucks is responsible for it all, I just cleared a path for them and made sure everything was good to go. They have an extremely high weight capacity, there's a zillion wheels on them too. The way they operate is they'll usually back the trailer under the item, and then use the trailer hydraulics to raise up the deck until it lifts the load. The trailer has it's own generator for doing this poo poo, you can see it in the video.
The only information I got is what's in this video, but I would guess that the hydraulics on one side of the trailer failed in some way. They might have lowered the one side a touch to counteract the turn and maybe didn't close the valve all the way and they went all the way down over the next minute or something. Or just mechanical failure. It's pretty suspect that it rolled off into a turn though. If it was just from sheer lack of planning it would have probably gone the other way. Again with no information, if I were to guess, it's probably the guy who steps out of the cab who hosed up.

Those vessels can get pretty heavy and those particular ones look pretty big, but they aren't quite as big as they appear. The shiny finish they have is just exterior cladding to some insulation around the vessel that could be anywhere between like 2"-6". The actual vessel would be painted the same dull milky grey as the one exposed flange you see. It rolling in the ditch probably didn't damage the vessel too much, but all the insulation and cladding will probably have to be replaced. You can see the setup in the video they have for lifting it out of the ditch. I have done thousands of lifts, this one would have been a Big loving Deal and somebody was probably very cross that it had to happen. Each of those cranes is extremely expensive to rent/mobilize, and the lift itself has a lot of bullshit and unknowns.. A vessel like that would have engineered lifting points, but you can't use those if the loving thing is upsidedown.
They don't show the actual vessel being lifted out of the ditch because it was probably sketchy as gently caress and they didn't want any narcs watching. Once the damaged trailer was out of the way they likely used the cranes to roll it back onto it's shoes (the poo poo it's supposed to sit on), and then re-rigged it and picked it up as designed and plopped it on a new trailer to take to site, so they can strip the cladding/insulation, probably do NDT (Non Destructive Testing, like x-ray) on all the welds, and then insulate it up again.

It was very expensive and somebody could have got killed. The shipping company probably had to eat the extra costs.

Here's the source but it's hearsay all around. Take it for what it's worth. I can't imagine a gate agent would call someone a terrorist regardless so this guy is probably exaggerating the circumstances.

This makes me sad UFC became so dominant. None of that poo poo would be allowed to happen in UFC.
Two things (and I loved Pride, still have a t-shirt):
-A lot of the fights were dangerous squash matches and/or fixed by the Yakuza. The latter was exposed and brought Japanese MMA down to a point it has never really recovered from.

-I used to think soccer kicks and downed knees were cool, until I realized it takes exactly no training for someone to quad or kill their opponent with that kind of force to the unprotected neck. No one gets paid enough for that, even now, and back then fighter pay was loving garbage.
