Maybe I am the rear end in a top hat but the dude was a juvenile forced to holding a rifle in the days were they were conscripting kids at the barrel of the gun. I thought we were more progressive w/r/t child soldiers.

You actually do, because people usually know enough to assume that "that's not the one caused by eating too much cake, right?" Type-2 diabetes is one of the few medical conditions most people are generally incredibly unsympathetic towards because the people who suffer from it are usually deemed to "Deserve" it. You know, for just eating too much cake. Put down the fork, fattie and all that. Another is lung cancer where, despite the myriad of ways to get it, everyone immediately assumes you catch it from smoking too much. Also: epilepsy. I don't know why, but people loving hate us spastics. There's not even really any excuse or justification for it either, people are just really, really mean if you suffer from epileptic seizures and find it funny. I've actually stopped admitting to it any time the topic comes up somehow (IE; the topic of taking medication comes up and peeps are sharing stories about how much side effects suck) because if I ever mention it, there's almost always at least one chucklefuck nearby who leaps to flip the lights on and off with a poo poo-eating grin.

I had a friend who was epileptic, she said the weirdest side effect of her meds was the inability to taste/feel carbonation.
Which, to me, is a very odd and specific side effect and i can only wonder about the mechanism of action.

The schad is now on me for having Headstrong stuck in my head all morning.


I think the reason it's so funny that it's Trapt rather than Limp Bizkit or whoever is that most people who've heard of Trapt have only ever thought about them when burning Trapt_Headstrong.mp3 to a CD-R nearly 20 years ago, the comic timing is something to behold.

I mean, at least Fred Durst almost had a sewage plant named after him.

I got a new computer and the script didn't transfer to my new one. I can't seem to find it on my old one either.

We should really put this in the OP.

Drag racing is fascinating. I often wonder how much of its evolution is because the big-block V8s and enormous superchargers actually are the best configuration for raw straight-line power, and how much is simply Heritage. Like, if you gave a team of F1 engineers a crack at it, could they come up with a better solution for a mill, an entire car even, that would outperform the Top Fuel cars?

I also want to see an anything-goes racing league, and an all-steroid olympics.

These dudes are making 10,000HP each. When they go, they just GO.
They don't use any throttle whatsoever.
They are running wide open as soon as the lights drop, and just engage more and more clutch until they're putting all the power to the wheels.

These are four frames from my camera in burst mode with a high speed SD card:





this distance covered here is around 100ft. (the cars are 25ft long)

At maximum throttle and RPM, the exhaust gases escaping from a dragster's open headers produce about 900–1,100 pounds-force (4.0–4.9 kN) of downforce.

You FEEL them go by, and 4 of them and 40,000 combined horsepower is loving nuts.
Plus the smell of nitromethane.

Back from the earlier racing chat, asking "what if you let the engineers go rulebook be damned"

Porsche did that after crushing the WEC /Lemans for 3 years running with the 919.

They retired, took the car, gave it to the engineers, and said "make it as fast as you can."
The result was the Porsche 919 Evo.

Currently holds the lap records at Spa and the Ring, and is capable of much faster, but as the the works drivers Timo Bernhard and Neel Jani will tell you, you run out of driver and the human meat sack in the seat is the limiter. At some places the car was pulling 4.5+ lateral Gs

My package from Kyrgyzstan finally arrived. I thought it was gonna get caught in Customs but it sailed right through. It doesn't quite look like what I ordered, and when I plug the text from the package into Google Translate it tells me it's called Marmot Powder, so I think it's still okay. Do you all think I should inject 5mg or 10mg to start?

It says dose limits should be at 15 μg, but my scale does 0.00 grams. 0.01g should be fine, right?

Sorta like when you get headshake on a motorcycle. Sure, you MIGHT be able to regain control by cracking the throttle wide open, but, realistically, you'll be too busy alternating between making GBS threads your pants and praying to whatever god(s) spring to mind to react fast enough

Just pull a wheelie. Can't have headshake if the front wheel is in the air :thunk:
