We should probably factor in that the guy doing the swinging is 6'-4" and 270 pounds of conditioned muscle. That clip at 2:14 is slow motion too.

Can I hit you with a helmet if Neo backs out?

I'll bet you anything there's hacks out there to watch porn on that thing.

^ Is there a model that makes toast as well? I'd consider buying that. ;)

Today I learned, thanks to a documentary about the routinely-forgotten Persian Empire (circa 500 B.C.), that they gave us the word "paradise". It was Persian for "enclosed garden" and the Persians were the first guys to lay out gardens for reasons of aesthetic pleasure alone. Given how popular gardening is today, it was interesting to me at least, to learn where it all began. Also clear from the program: the pre-Islamic ancient Persians were way cooler than the hardline religious yoke that Iran currently lives under.

This is everything.

I didn't know wizards cared about making penises disappear. ****'s tight tho.

GD&T it up.

:beer:

I was trial by fire when I got thrown into running a turret lathe while in between jobs. They showed me a simple part and how to make it, then left me alone with little guidance. I was pumping out graduated steel rolls for pipe bending in a matter of a week or two. I had quite a bit of programming experience though, so that helped.

Good luck on your 2nd installment!

The software and tech has had a few years to refine since I've had my grubby hands on it. I can't remember anything about it other than the guy that was showing me the ropes had a hot wife.

TIL that Gregg Turkington aka Neil Hamburger is in Faxed Head.

TIL... JavaScript.

The 2020 Premium Learn To Code Certification Bundle for $39.00 ($2300 value)

Traversy Media has a lot of great videos for anyone learning to code.

MIT does as well.

CS50 by Harvard is short but a decent intro course

^^Brings me back a bit. Foggy memories of ceramic tips on steel.

I was a machine operator at a place that made propane regulator parts but yeah it was definitely a button pusher job. It was easy and chill compared to most factory jobs. Occasionally one of the machines would **** up and make the day more interesting.

Gotta start somewhere.

Sonny Rollins said he wasn’t giving his best stuff on Tenor Madness (the title track only; not the entire album). Ironically, he says it was because he was playing with Coltrane whom he didn’t respect yet. It was in 56 which turned out to be a great year for Coltrane and playing on the Rollins classic was definitely a highlight.

...that if I want to make a costly purchase I have to notify my bank. I know this is for protection but holy **** did that throw a monkey wrench into my plans.

Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte reveals plans for a spin-off series of the hit show where his character Walt Jr would become new drug kingpin

Damn I hope they make this happen. Nothing this exciting since hungry hungry hippos the movie.

I'm just picturing him taking a bite of toast before giving an off camera henchman the order to gun down his enemies in a tense negotiation scene.

Nice

Parts, man. There's trillions of em and someone's gotta make em.

Childish.

TIL people who menstruate will take a piss without removing their tampon which results in peeing all over the string and apparently they're just like "haha, it sucks but oh well." I legitimately had no idea people lived like that. I'd rather waste a tampon than sit with a peepee string in my panties. Like wtffff.

*masturbates*

I'm not very fond of that term. It kinda just showed up one day... like a zit.

Djent is basically just nu metal with the jean shorts swapped out for Dream Theater enthusiasm.

I had to google it. It's an onomatopoeia!

Kinda like Plank. When you're fretting a string and it slips and creates a PLANK sound.

I do that a lot.

Same with the music.

And when you drag your pick up a string it goes wwwp

I thought it was some rockabilly like "ladies and djents" subculture thing

TIL that Derek Bailey played on The Sinking of the Titanic by Gavin Bryars. I knew that they had worked together, just not on that album. I didn't even realize that there was guitar on that album.

That’s a hell of a feather in his cap.

Kind of embarrassed I didn’t know that either.

today I learned that people find it weird if you attend online meetings while sitting in your inflatable swimming pool

:laughing:

this is why i never go on camera for my jobs weekly zoom meeting sessions lol
that and i don't want them to see me ripping the bong and calling out "oK sAnDrA" at full volume to no one everytime ****ing Sandra has to chime in.

:laughing: that's what I do in the large meetings (minus the bong) but this is a small meeting where I'm kind of expected to show my face.
I just don't get why people are so uptight
btw I also have a Sandra in my meetings but she's great lol
