He doesn’t need the ramp, he just knows we love to watch him go.
For an amusing read on how well their navy did against the Japanese, in 1905, check out Battle of Tsushima.
The Russians lost 5.045 and 21 ships (more captured and/or damaged). Japan lost 117 and 3 torpedo boats.
Here’s an entertaining video on their journey to Japan.
This reminds me of the early days of the Model S; a friend of mine was an early adopter and he himself was surprised if it went two weeks without having to bring it in for something or the other.
Oh, and the dashboards that would occasionally freeze while driving. Luckily, Tesla knew it was a piece of shit, so you could just press and hold two buttons to reboot it.
Commercial jet fuel does not contain lead, though, thank god.
Lead fuel is still used in many piston engine aircraft, so try not to live near a small private plane airport.
… an ordinary salmon ate nine hazelnuts that fell into the Well of Wisdom (an Tobar Segais) from nine hazel trees that surrounded the well. By this act, the salmon gained all the world’s knowledge.
Imagine possessing all the knowledge in the world, as a fish at the bottom of a dark well. Must’ve been maddening…
Don’t eat sushi, got it.
On 14 August 1903, while on a cruise from Chicago to South Haven, Michigan, six of the ship’s firemen refused to stoke the fire for the ship’s boiler, claiming that they had not received their potatoes for a meal.
Rather than give the poor guys a few potatoes they threw them in the brig and charged them with mutiny.
How large of an elephant population is required for an elephant brothel to be viable, let alone a huge one? How do elephants even pay?
I had no idea sky daddy didn’t like haircuts. But, you know what, I’m relieved. Now I know I’m going to hell, uncertainty be gone. And… and, I can go sporting a fresh trim.
I assumed it was a coin operated telephone for professionals.
It’s incredible, they’re being stolen at a faster rate then they can build them!
The V-sign, isn’t the clue to make it with the palm facing away from you? The V-for victory sign is definitely a thing in Great Britain. Churchill somewhat famously did the sign incorrectly the first few times he used it.
I’m not familiar with the story you’re referring to, but typically a hard landing doesn’t necessitate a search/rescue team. Unless it’s a very hard “landing” into the side of a mountain, for example.
Surely they’re not all morons?
You might be surprised at how many people don’t really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.
Things like “what should I search for to find X” is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.
I haven’t really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I’m perfectly happy with it.
I.e. countries that like it best when the world is a steaming pile of shit.
On many bottles I’ve encountered the ring that keeps the cap attached to the bottleneck has been quite loose, so you rotate the cap up/left/right, thinking you’re good to pour, then as you get going the cap slips back down, ensuring you distribute whatever you were pouring all over the the table.
Doh, two communities, but none for us who need it explained like we’re four. /s
