I wouldn’t worry too much about the injured. In my experience, there are plenty of Chinese spare ribs to go around.

... Unlock that door, and you may be headed to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey! Assemble the statue there, and you may move on to the Wave Pool. If you survive both the correctly functioning waves AND the accidental tsunami, it may lead you to the Pavement! From there, you must climb into the Ambulance and race to…

The armrests dont move.  Its a sham.

I’m sorry, sir. I have no idea where you could acquire four new scrhader valve cores on short notice, or how that could possibly have happened.

I’m all for green-ifying transport (I happily own a Prius!), but 860W is probably the “at noon on the equator” number, and is still only barely more than a horsepower. Imagine leashing two pro cyclists to the front of your car chariot-style- that’s how much power you’re getting.

If you’re ever in Owens Valley (and the drive along the Sierra range front under the deepest blue sky is well worth it); you can still see part of the fault scarp created by the colossal 1872 Lone Pine earthquake which was at least 7.8 to 7.9 and possibly larger since it was felt strongly in Sacramento and San Diego. U…

Reminder: Its not the least bit original,insightful, or helpful to suggest having empathy for abusers and imploring the victim to try to meet them in the middle. It is entirely possible to understand someones viewpoint and reason for doing things while still coming to the conclusion that they are deplorable.

I have two of these bulbs.

At no point during that video did it even approach looking real beyond the 4 second mark (They did a decent job making the tower look shorter than it actually is, so I’ll give that to them I guess).

What is the thought process behind “we need to impeach even if the Senate won’t convict”? Do you put that victory up on the refrigerator next to “we won the popular vote”?

My take on Pelosi’s thoughts from reading other sources besides Splinter isn’t that she firmly believes that, but that she thinks it might be true, and if it might be true, the fact that any impeachment proceedings have a known outcome already (namely, dying after they leave the House), is making her skittish.

I forwarded the link to a colleague who does a lot of long-line rescues. Here’s what he said:

Search and Rescue helicopter pilot guy here. In case any of you are wondering if this will happen to you after falling off a cliff face or something and needing an airlift, it won’t if they do their jobs right. In the organization I fly with you have to use a line attached to the litter that’s held by a member of the…

Dad?

I’d bet that they are better trained in CPR than the parents.

Always grab a swimmer in the water from behind, and don’t be afraid to kick them off if they do manage to grab you from the front. A drowning person will, just on sheer adrenaline, try to use you like a ladder and push you under as they climb up. If they do get you in a grab hold, then grab them back, duck them under…

IMHO, the biggest marketing failure from the past 10 years was the Chevy Volt

Except that the military has very strict rules of engagement, governing when you are allowed to open fire, among other things.

Police have no such rules.
