If they didn’t put the explosives in one or more drilled holes the boulders wouldn’t have split like that. The bag on top was almost certainly filled with sand or rocks to help focus the explosion.

As far as I saw she still hasn’t had to serve her sentence and is driving around. Stopping in the fast lane of a highway with the hazard lights turned off should be considered reckless disregard for life and lead to a murder conviction when people die.

They actually drill into the rock put explosives inside, then a heavy plug, then rubber mesh to help contain fragments, then they finally pile rocks on top to focus more energy into breaking up the boulder. Then when all the safety steps are followed, someone presses the button and big badda boom!

A “Premium” CPO means they will certify that there was at least one owner, and that the car exists. The idea of CPO is marketing bullshit.

That works well until there are no left shoes 3 years in. (Central command economies blow up in unexpected and horrible ways)

Is anything allowed to be on the hands while pitching? Quikclot and superglue? a bandage? If not, how are stitches not considered a “foreign substance” 

My first thought was that a vid showing a kid do a perfect parallel parking job would be awesome (empty lot, buckled in, cones not cars). Then the actual video and article and “WTF” replaced the “pulling cars back into the garage was fun at that age” thoughts I was having. Now I know the solution! Tesla needs a…

Just to clarify, the title of the exhibition was actually Pound Daddy Will Save Us? That would explain.... a bunch of things.

Crazy, wannabe genocidal rapist? Well, that is godly based on the abrahamic tradition.

It sounded like he said the bike broke earlier while racing.

The Ig Nobels do it right. A young kid screaming “Please stop, I’m Bored”

Anyone who says we are planning on phasing out fossil fuels is blowing smoke up your ass. The bright eyed and bushy tailed hope is that we can cut back to levels of consumption seen around 1990. We’re not going to stop using fossil fuels in the near future (50+ years) without killing a majority of the population. We…

To clarify I don’t think environmental protection is a minor thing, I think it needs to come first. It’s just that we are using a ton of oil and gas and playing musical chairs, moving away from whatever is in the news at the moment is a crazy way to manage what is critical infrastructure.

The earthquakes are linked to waste water disposal wells not fracking, (still oil and gas production but a totally different reason).

Pipelines degrade over time so let’s never build new ones? Pipelines are the safest way to transport oil and gas. We should have mandated pipeline building so we can remove old ones from service  before issues come up. I wouldn’t much have liked living in the 1800's so stopping use of petrochemicals isn’t a good…

Was Trump involved at all in WTC 7? Collapsing stage/Staged Collapse?

Slicing the belly wide open and reaching in to put direct pressure or clamps on the aorta. I say that’s less crazy because threading a baloon through blood vessels into the just right place while a patient’s body is trying to die is not a simple thing. A few terms to search for if you want a better understanding of…

Oh.. I get it now, this is a suicide booth for us gear heads. It leaves the head in good condition for an open casket and explodes the pelvis so there is no chance of resuscitation!

Nah, your femurs will be way too busy filling that space for the steering column to fit. This has to be up there in horrible ways to kill a person. The pelvis would pop like a rotten grape and you’d bleed out in minutes without spilling a drop (major pelvic injuries dump massive amounts of blood where it’s easy to…

It’s a little complicated because the coach shouldn’t be applying any pressure about praying at all. It might be possible for a coach to do something like that without an implicit “you should be doing this”. A moment to “give thanks” if not entirely based on religious worship is probably the best way to do things if…
