LSD overdose? There’s practically no such thing. 100x a normal dose is generally considered to be the Lethal dose and that’s just a number that is kind of thrown out there, there’s no actual evidence behind it. There was an experiment done on an elephant where one was given 297mg (where a normal dose is 0.06mg) and…

Syd Barrett... Because Pink Floyd. But he probably doesn't have wide appeal.

The northern tool picks are good for the price. But my new preference is the stuff made by Sparrow... very high quality. Usually, the first thing I do with the rakes is put a shrink tube handle on them. http://www.sparrowslockpicks.com/

I'm in Jefferson County, Colorado which has been in the news lately for the student protests against the Tea Party Affiliated majority on the county Board Of Education. In addition to censoring bits of curriculum they don't like, they're also doing their best to try to privatize the entire school district. They're…

Interesting title! Dark Star was also a sci-fi/comedy movie... it was written and starred in by Dan O'Bannon ... who also did the original story and screenplay for Alien, which as everyone knows was Giger's most famous work. Dark Star is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It was the Beach Ball Monster…

Well, I should correct mine as well.. The electricity won't hurt you, but the exploding battery from a short might. But yeah, feel free to grab those 12v terminals with your bare hands... no matter the amperage, there simply isn't enough Electromotive Force to push it through the resistance of your body.

What? No... A car battery will not kill or hurt you. The minimum voltage that is dangerous to humans is widely considered to be 30v.

No article about trolling is complete without including Roger David Carasso and his haunt, talk.bizarre. Creater of "x-posted to: *.test" and probably the record holder for most accounts suspended because of USENET abuse.. Also almost certainly responsible for the purposeful exclamations with buried ones that came…

In Colorado that's called "Felony Menacing"... and yeah. Felony.

I ran a BBS on a Tandy 1000SX with dual floppies (FIDO BBS, by Tom Jennings) in the mid 80's. I got really lucky in 1989 and scored a copy of SCO XENIX 286... by that time I had upgraded to 9600bps, which was still very expensive and I managed to get the Computer Center at CSU to essentially sneak me nearly a full…

Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart!

Actually.. the jarring motions would be lack of a limited slip diff and the truck being in 4wd. If he had gunned it, that car would not have represented much of an obstacle at all, and the truck certainly would not have stopped. This is a truck than can routinely pull more than 18,000 lbs.

I see you don't drive a diesel.

8,000 to 10,000 pounds. Very clearly a cummins turbo diesel with DPF gone, as you can tell by the sound (and the smoke). Driver of the truck could've feathered the gas and squished the kid. Nice restraint on his part.

I totally agree with this, and I'm the biggest Kubrick fan in the world. The real snub of "2001" was that Planet Of The Apes got nominated for best costume, and the apes in 2001 did not. I've been told — but it may be urban legand — that it was because the Academy thought they were real apes.

Anyone who talks like that to any woman is the last person who needs to be giving advice on "how to be a woman". In the long term? Being robbed probably would've been worse. You'll do okay.

It's not NTSC... Far more simple, and all the information needed to decode it is really, truly in that diagram.

Avalon Ascent Loudspeakers. They're a very, very high end stereo set from designer Neil Patel in Boulder Colorado. Neil is somewhat of a black magician in the loudspeaker realm. They were introduced, I think, in the early to mid 90's and sold for about $16,000. Used, these days they can be found between $5k and…
