Does anybody else think this is maybe a 'fart machine' like this: Fart Machine

While inappropriate (although funny IMO) I could see them pranking her. Especially the way one or two of them can't stop laughing. It sounds like someone actually started to snicker right before the second fart - kinda like it was all planned.

Still funny either way, because air escaping from your butthole = funny.

> Interestingly offshore drilling rigs create an enormous deep water artificial reef and can attract all kinds of large fish. Great book written about it called Helldivers' Rodeo.

Its a kids roller coaster similar to this , except it looks like he took the last section of it off before propping it up on the chair. It didnt really break, but came apart at the point where 2 the top and middle section come together. Its made of hollow plastic like the playschool slides and outdoor playsets.

Just in case if it's a Meniere's disease, there is a good book on topic "Mind over Meniere's". Very useful stuff.

The book Treat Your Own Back is great and was the primary guidebook my physical therapist used with me.

There are a lot of really simple and easy exercises you can do twice a day that really help. Also an ice pack on acute pain for ~20 minutes or so while lying flat on my stomach was also a good way to get some temporary relief when nothing else helped.

I switched to sit/stand desk at work which helped a lot, the Varidesk was helpful because it was able to turn my normal desk into a sit/stand area at a price that my company was willing to expense.

Oh and instead of sleeping on my back I would sleep on my side with a pillow between my knees which helped me get much better sleep which was hugely important.

I also took prescription dosages of ibuprofen (~800 mg) during the worst of it. My doctor also recommended magnesium supplements since magnesium can act as a muscle relaxer and sleep aid. I'm not entirely sure how much the magnesium helped but there's something about the feeling that you're doing something that does help you get through the worst of the pain. Obviously consult with a doctor before taking medication, but this is what I did.

All that said working with a good physical therapist for a few months and keeping a log of my exercises and pain levels and generally being very active in combating the injury was what got me through it.

Likely along the lines of “oh lighten up, I’m just one person it doesn’t really matter if I do it.”

They’ve literally never reached the level of consideration that children’s books teach: https://www.amazon.com/What-If-Everybody-Did-That/dp/0761456864/ref=nodl_

Read Traffic. It actually corroborates what /u/alexmg2420 says. Assuming, of course, that the receiving lane acts civil and lets traffic alternate in.

If you're asking that kind of question you're too stupid to understand the answer but if you wanna try to understand, read these books

the only cage your dog should ever be inside is one where there is no front door attached to it, so the dog can come and go freely. Locking dogs inside a cage is abuse. Just don't get a dog.

Glad someone said this! I read proficient motorcycling when I started riding, and these stats really stuck out to me. Another thing was how there is a steady drop-off in accidents as a rider becomes more experienced with time, and then there is a sharp rise around the 2-year mark. Essentially, riders become complacent.

Also, in said multi-vehicle accidents, most of the time it's a car turning across an intersection that doesn't notice the bike coming.

Ride safe!

Edit: Also, I can't believe someone downvoted you :/

NY, Conn, Mass, and NJ are infested with low low overheads, engineered specifically, in accurate historical terms, with no doubt or theory, for roads to not fit buses. All the original NE ''parkways'' were to serve the nice people with their own cars ways to get in and out of bucolic non urban splendor. They literally openly made sure buses filled with undesirable city negros could not follow.
The taconic. The Saw Mill. The Merritt. The Palisades. The cough cough ROBERT MOSES parkway, the Sunken Meadow, The Grand Central, the Northern State, the Southern state, The Bethpage., the Loop parkway,
All ''parkways'' were carefully planned to ensure that no buses followed the ''nice people'' to the parks. There's a whole book about it, that is probably the book with the highest critical praise of any 20th century non-fiction book.

''Argument Without End

That Moses was highhanded, racist and contemptuous of the poor draws no argument even from the most ardent revisionists. But his grand vision and iron will, they say, seeded New York with highways, parks, swimming pools and cultural halls, from the Belt Parkway to Lincoln Center, and thus allowed the modern city to flower.'' http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/06/nyregion/thecity/06hist.html

> It's a constructed scenario there is no data. No data is necessary because it is self-evident that if you select two random people, and the only qualifying difference between the two is 'one is currently committing a violent crime', that person is more likely to have a weapon.

Self-evidence is subjective. You are picking random people up for a nondescript crime, which can be anything from a mugging to a murder, stating the likehood of having a nondescript "weapon" on person, which can be anything from a tactical pen to a pocket knife to a firearm, without any regards to location or time of the event. What you are stating is that armed crime is [a lot] more common than unarmed crime and then trying to use this statement as an argument to imply that because of the previous implication firearm ownership is inherently a bad thing. Again, not taking in to account self-defense cases, their success and failure rates or anything else - basically just pulling imaginary/implied data out of context.

Yeaaaaaa, that's gonna be a nope from me, dawg. Not playing those games. Cold hard data, my dude. Cold hard data analysis.

Either way, there is this little personal rule I've got for myself that I treasure very much - while I've proven my point to people on gun control in the past, I've also had a lot of absolutely exhausting and pointless arguments, which ultimately I don't get paid for, so I don't do it anymore. Sooooo, sorry, but Imma cut it right here - I am off to play some Odyssey, disabling inbox replies over here, man.

I hope you have a great evening!

I don't know what state this video took place but as a gun owner it is the responsibility of the gun owner to know gun laws for whatever state they carry them. When I bought my first gun I also bought a book like: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1889632295/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_ncxbzbNAHES06

In this book it is very clear that you cannot carry a gun in a threatening manner or in a manner that can be perceived as threatening. The guy in the video is wearing a mask in body armor while brandishing a rifle and walking into a police station. I would almost guarantee that everyone there felt threatened. I don't carry my firearms across state lines so I don't read up on other state's laws but if I did I'm getting a book for that state and studying before I go. I would guess that any state with open carry laws are going to have a similar law dealing with brandishing and threat perception.

Had he walked in there in plain clothes with a holstered sidearm with his hands no where near it, he probably would have been fine. At most he may be asked to take it to his car and come back.

These books aren't terribly expensive. I'd recommend getting one for your state just so you are aware even if you don't plan on owning a gun.
