Labadal Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Happy New Year! I ended up dring two sodas. After not having touched unhealthy stuff for 61 days, they tasted SOOOOOOOOO good. I did not have any sweets or anything of the sort even though I had access to an incredible amount of different kinds of unhealthy stuff. I thought that the two sodas were enough for one day.

Woldan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Just uploaded the videos of new years eve fireworks from my camera to my computer. Muzzle blast of the mortar launching the bomb. We could feel the blasts in our chests and the pressure waves blew the snow off the trees. Bottom right corner a snow shovel for size comparison. Bomb goes off in the sky. The fireworks easily made explosions with more than 300 meters diameter, it was much bigger than it looks in the photo.

LadyCrimson Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Tossed roast in the oven, watching the Rose Parade on HGTV. Scott and Drew make funny hosts, better than network hosts. Love Boat float, omg. Not that I'm into parades much...just something to do while waking up. “Things are as they are.

Guard Dog Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Very busy today. I've got the Winter Classic at 12, go Blackhawks, then the Rose Bowl go FSU, then the Sugar Bowl, go Bama. I may not get out of this chair all day. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woldan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Guess this big bomb stuff is why I heard in the news right now that 3 people died yesterday night. Probably. The only real danger is loading another shell while there is still smoldering residue from the previous shot in the barrel. You load another one and it goes off while a part of your body is directly in front of or inside (hand) the barrel, in the worst and dumbest case your head. Then you're totally dead. But I'm not stupid, I inspect the barrel after each shot and wipe it with a wet ramrod that extinguishes any flames, I also remove the residue with a brush and make sure no body part is covering the muzzle. The same danger exists when firing muzzle loaders and I love shooting those. That used to be a problem in the 1700's, sometimes while loading cannons in the battlefield the cannon would discharge prematurely killing the loader, the cannon barrels got so hot from the firing quickly that the charge would ignite due to the heat, or an ember sitting in the chamber ignite the powder, killing the guy loading the projectile. In dramatic cases the charge went off before the ball was firmly seated against it which resulted in a so called hollow-charge, which pretty much turned the cannon into a giant pipe bomb often killing the entire crew. Thats why cannons of brass were still made when high quality steel was readily available, brass tends to bulge, steel tends to shatter, with the latter being much more dangerous to the crew in case of a dramatic failure. But thats another story. What I'm trying to say is ignorant and stupid people handling powerful things is a recipe for disaster. You have to know what you are doing and what you're dealing with.

LadyCrimson Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Cat: "Roast beef! Roast beef!" (it's actually a bunch of meow's and paw-pats, I'm translating) Me: "Here." (hand-feeds a few bits) Cat: "Roast beef! Roast beef!" Me: (put more pieces on a paper towel, set on floor) Cat: (eyes paper towel dubiously, eats just a couple pieces, stares some more, then...) "Roast beef! Roast beef!" Me: (pointing) "Right there." (cat goes on staring/begging, watching my hands) (I finally give in, hand feed him) ...PaperTowelIsScary phobia? The roast beef was excellent, tho. 1 “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 This morning, for some reason, I've been idly wondering how some superheros ("superhuman" powered) stay so mega-muscularly buff all the time. I mean, they don't seem governed by the same laws of physics as us normal folk, so what is building up all that visible muscle? 800-ton barbells? Is flying or running at sonic speeds with seemingly zero effort and not even a slight sweat a good workout? “Things are as they are.

There is a rare genital mutation where people have twice the muscle tissue of a normal person. Happens to certain dog breeds too. This dog has not spent a single minute in a gym (ands its a female) (Imagine actually doing exercises with these dogs (car pulls etc.), they would explode. So superheroes truly are mutants.

Guard Dog Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) It's the same thing. Bruce Banner was experimenting on human performance enhancement, just like Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire. Actually Bonds might have used the same radiation: 1) Started out skinny & nice, check 2) Ended up big and an asshle, check 3) Lied to everyone about his secret, check 4) Unable to speak in complete sentences, check 5) Refers to himself in the 3rd person, check.
