Imagine you take 200 people who answered an ad seeking “thrill seekers” and to be on TV. Then you psychologically weed it down with questions in order to pick the 6 most gullible, groupthink, extroverts.

That’s how they got the people. Out of all the applicants. However many their were, they took the most gullible extroverted ones they could get.

It never would have been pulled off as a success with regular people.

Zoom in even closer right at the middle. There’s a little Yoda standing up facing straight back at you.

Bro, did you just call her fat?

But really, non contaminated marble is very strong in a load bearing sense, and the ends of the statue are plenty thick enough to support that weight. The arm that rests on the ground as well was much more likely there to be a support to keep the arm from getting damaged, and not a part made to keep the statue from snapping elsewhere.

I’m not speaking from an occupants perspective. I’m only chiming to provide some added context to the articles claims of the cutters primarily only being useful for rescue personnel.

I will say that the chances where a person crashes, and no one else is around, and the vehicle is on fire or there’s a reason the occupant should leave the seat after a severe crash, and the cutter would stay reachable, is very, very rare. Vehicles almost never catch on fire from crashes. Beyond that, unless you’re in BFE without a phone or anyone else around, it’s usually best you stay in place.

That’s what the farm folk are claiming, but that doesn’t make it true. Data centers can lose 80% water from evaporation, so their run off is definitely more concentrated, but if they’re using say less than 10 percent of the total water usage of the rest of the town, they aren’t the ones causing any extra issues. This sounds like (in this specific case) it’s all issues from commercial farming that are trying to shift blame.

Firefighter EMT here. Over 15 years. Glass breaking happens pretty often and we have plenty of ways with doing that. Almost none of us carry a dedicated seatbelt cutter at the ready. If I can’t get to the buckle very easily, I still just use a knife. Also works great for cutting the side airbags out of the way, which a seatbelt cutter can’t do. For the seatbelts I’m just very careful with the knife, and for the airbags I cut reaching in and with the knife facing outwards and away from the patient. Trying to carry and use a seatbelt cutter just simply isn’t worth the limited space I have to carry things that are quickly accessible. Too much of a one trick pony.

Thermals wouldn’t get too hot, but wireless charging is terribly inefficient. If using a battery pack that’s say 20,000mah in size, you’ll only normally get about 14,000mah worth of charge into your device going from USB C to USB C (caries with charge speed and efficiency of charge controllers involved). With wireless charging you’re probably looking at 9,000mah.

Not what I’m saying. Just saying that there’s 131 million players and blaming Roblox for like 40 incidents is dumb. That’s like 0.0000012%. 700 kids a year die from being hit by cars. 900 kids a year die from drowning. 500 kids every year are murdered by their own parents.

Saying Roblox is to blame when it’s such a comparatively small amount of everything else in the world is stupid. You can’t sterilize the planet from danger. Roblox isn’t even a blip when compared to most other things.

You mean the 40 people out of 131,000,000 who had parents that let them be unsupervised on Roblox?

Really, that sounds like Roblox has very little problems.

Classic

Negative. They were very against the law. A guy backed over and killed his own child and made it a multi year mission to force back up cameras as a requirement. Politicians look bad if they don’t want to “save the children.”

Yeah. Afraid to fail is bullshit, just like a college degree has become bullshit. Right down to actually needing to take prerequisite base classes to get your degree in something. Almost no one goes to college because they have a general thirst for knowledge. They go so they can get a job, or because mommy and daddy told them to go.

Listening to a guy talk in a 200 person class you’re paying six figures to attend while in the age of the internet is stupid.

You’re the one who tried changing the argument off of my original post, bro.

I dunno… Did women kill the Indians to take this land?

It doesn’t matter. We’re talking about the possibility of a woman existing that had 100 different men who thought they could defeat her in a wrestling match, wagering up a thousand horses each. A challenge that spanned over years. As her reputation if defeating all these dudes would spread and be known, after the first ten or twenty guys were defeated, the only challengers (if they were actually intending to win) would have been almost nothing but large and strong guys experienced in wrestling.

There just isn’t any way that would happen.

Or maybe she was butt ass ugly but everyone liked keeping their heads rather than insult a princess.

No woman known for being beautiful is nearly as strong as a strong man. Wrestling is very much a skill, but there’s a reason there’s so many weight classes. I wrestled for several years. Strength can overcome skill.

“she” didn’t capture men on the battlefield. She led an army. Big difference.

This story always seemed so outlandish to me, that I’m still convinced it isn’t actually the entire story. Like; the men were losing on purpose for some sort of political favor of sorts.

*Edit: So I’ve done some sleuthing. The story is BS. The only original source of the wrestling for horses came from Marco Polo, and he made up\exagerated all sorts of stuff. She was known as a wrestler, but nothing of defeating 100 men undefeated. Also, the 100 men part was just made up at some point even later, as Marco Polo never gave mention of a number of men she’d wrestled. Only that she had a herd of 10,000 horses won from wrestling. I couldn’t find a source for when the 100 men part got added on.
