It is exactly because it can be brutal and dangerous that it's probably better to have people experiencing it from their couch. I wouldn't want to watch a video of someone doing my job for 8+ hours either though, so I understand why you don't get it.

Only slightly less than half of it. Unfortunately, that half lives in places that give them extra leverage in Congress.

“I don’t think the officers are relevant... ”

That distinctively Detroit accent. Recognizably unique.

Linus has a fairly straightforward video discussing this topic, if you’re interested.

It’s amusing that the past tense of both secret and secrete is “secreted.”

I can’t stand this obsession with thinking people that make more money aren’t doing their fair share. In Canada, as a doctor I’m considered well off, but I’m the only person I know that pays 10% tax to the hospital, then another 50% on everything from 120-216k and 54% above 216k and then 15% sales tax on whatever’s…

Here’s the interesting point - there’s only one locks that can accommodate the biggest boats. It dates back to 1896, and was rebuilt in 1968. The other was built in 1943. A new 1200' lock is being built; but it won’t be finished until 2030. The project was originally approved in 1986, but groundbreaking wasn’t until…

The Soo connects Lake Superior with the the rest of the Great Lakes; so it’s not the limiting factor for lakers to get out to the ocean; that’s the Wellend Canal, as Goose points out. Lake freighters have to pass through the Soo, especially taconite boats, or they’re no good to get iron ore from Minnesota to Detroit.

The “N.F.T.” skit didn’t feature “Robin, for some reason.” That was actually an extended parody of Eminem’s “Without Me” video with Pete as Eminem, peroxide hair and all. As to the reason, you got me.
And while a 20-year-old music video seems a bizarre object to parody, you’re “Gen X old,” Perkins. If ANY demographic…

Not in the title, but all about Cadillac

Why not airbags? Ships are launched on airbags all the time. Some giant vulcanised rubber bags are slipped alongside the ship (between the ship and the bank), others are dragged under the ship though the mud and inflated.

This is some serious “mistakes were made.”

How about a Slideshow?  They fix everything.

And the raised Bimini top while trailering is a cherry on it.

DHS only protects against the last attack.  They have no process for trying to determine what form the next attack will take, so they will only (appear to) protect against that one after it happens.

But has it been a problem?

holy shit that’s amazing.

Yeah, my comment was more generic in nature. Here in Costa Rica there was a recent car meet which quickly grew out of control. The place had been hosting meets for years in an underground parking area with an apartment complex above it, but this was the first since the pandemic. The residents called the police (with…

This GIF is wonderful. Long enough for me to get an idea of what’s going on, form an idea about how it’s going to go sideways, and then be amused when my guess was wrong. I really got the full three-act experience in about four seconds.
