I have to wonder if that version of the Eclipse really doesn't lock shut or if Jamie is just abusing it, because I wasn't hugely impressed at 7:39.

You can pretty easily tell that he's not building spudguns when he's describing that as "The World's Loudest Launcher".

I'll give him that it's fairly loud, but anything where the reaction to firing it without hearing protection isn't "F***! I'M DEAF!!!" is a little short of the record.
Wonder how many molecules of piss there would be per millilitre of water?
For a rough figure, about a hundred trillion. Given the size of a molecule and how much is actually "wrong" with drinking water anyway (something you don't really want to think about, but astronomically better than what much of the developing world gets), a utterly trivial.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

That was my first thought - if you believe that, then heaven knows what havoc ordinary drinking water is wreaking!

You know that fictional thing called Skynet?

We haven't brought up gender here for a while, and it's Spring so I guess hormonal imbalances are kicking in :roll:

Stumbled across some Red Pill stuff the other day.
I'm probably not the first person to observe that taking the red pill is a gradual process, and that the loss of illusions, like any other loss, initiates a grieving process.

But it's worth pointing out that psychology's general "five stages" model of the grieving process applies to TRP.

Denial: "Women aren't like that! They're people just like everyone else! Treat them all as individuals, and you're sure to find the right one!"

Anger: "WTF! B**ches are all like this! They have no honour, no loyalty, and they don't really love anyone but themselves! F**king c**ts!"

Bargaining: "If I work real hard and learn all the pickup moves, then at least I'll get laid."

Depression: "Getting laid by shallow, obnoxious women has become dull and unrewarding. And there's no sense looking for a unicorn. Maybe I'll just be MGTOW for a while."

Acceptance: "Women aren't bad. My expectations of them, and theirs of me, were based on faulty premises. They are creatures of instinct, just like I am... but of different instincts. If I learn what those instincts are, and teach them about mine, we can develop realistic expectations of each other and get along just fine."
I guess I'm still flickering between stages 2 and 4.

It is not the first death caused by a falling crucifix in Italy.

In 2004, the Associated Press reported that a 72-year old woman had been crushed to death by a 7ft-tall metal crucifix in the town of Sant'Onofrio in the south of the country.
I think that says pretty much everything you need to know about religion...
