Look, I’m no aficionado, but this piece is just transcendent. Sure, this starts off a bit messy, but it becomes a solid poop joke several stories up.

Let’s not discount the importance of this piece here.

So if a Kentucky Shower is gettin naked in the rain, this would be a…

Florida Flash Splash?

Arkansas Southpaw?

Texas Turd Step?

LIVESTREAM

Found my new desktop…

I get you on that, it doesn’t look like much. I’m guessing that’s because it’s a true follow through & looks “traceable”?

Physics or whatnot means the stress that knot puts on itself allows it to retain roughly 80% of the ropes strength, without a backup knot.

Many use a backup knot, but that’s typically just for convenience, to get the loose end out of the way.

The biggest reason, aside from the knot’s strength (…and to my knowledge), that it is used for climbing, is because it will not fail or slip past a rope delivery system, such as an ATC or a grigri.

Basically if you’re ass backwards & heading in the wrong direction, that knot may help stop your decent by not blowing past a safety measure.

It’s a standard figure 8 knot, but the end of the rope doubles back through the eight. This leaves the end of the 8 at the top of the knot & would look similar to this:

I like Velcro.

Yup. I worked on a reality & at the end, we had to wrap all of our camera masters out to Bravo.

Something like 160 bankers boxes stuffed with 20-30 IMX loads, or roughly 2,000 individual IMX cassettes.

Not two years later & we started to see our camera masters wiped, recycled, & reused in circulation.

You are NOT supposed to use used media when recording a show, it’s written rather plainly in the network delivery specs, but… networks are cheap as hell

That looks like the giant pumice stone in the bend of Malibu Creek in CA. Great shot.

I read the title before realizing where it was posted. Thought, “they’re an asshole for taking the birds, they’re a dumbass for claiming [OC].”

“In other news, a rash of copperhead bites has sprung up around town, after residents attempted to shove the snakes down their drain pipes to release a clog.

Local herpetologists say this is not a smart approach & should not be attempted.

Local residents responded by asking that their beer be held.”

Maybe the device led to a lack of thumbs?

“Coming this fall… wacky hi-jinx ensue as two men enlist the help of a fish to convince their bigoted neighborhood they’re not gay!!

Will the neighbors abandon their hurtful ignorance or will you be forced watch a man copulate with a fish purely for the sake of survival?

Find out Thursday evenings, coming this fall to the Hallmark Channel!”

That’s really cool! Thanks for sharing. Visiting the gardens was my first experience with this flower.

But it’s ok to have a little fun when you do.

My mom & her brothers were arguing over family silverware. The older of my two uncles just took the silverware case & disappeared with it.

That year for Christmas, every immediate family received a custom made ring made from the melted silverware.

They’re not anything valuable. They look handmade & some of the pieces were outright ugly, but it worked.

We all still have that silverware & it means a lot to all of us.

To OP, completely understand you might not want jewelry made from a nazi knife, but maybe there’s an option to do something worthwhile while that melted metal, rather than just scrapping it?

If nothing else, you could encase a copy of mein kampf in the metal & have a fancy ass doorstop you can kick around.

“Is that a brick of silver holding your door open?”

“Nope. It’s a deactivated copy of that hitler book.”

“You know you’re just the rudest man! The rudest man!”

Beautiful… just beautiful

…and now all I can think about is Warren, from There’s Something About Mary, chasing an armored knight Ted around yelling, “BANGERS & MASH!!! BANGERS AND MASH!”

Now I kinda want to know what constitutes medieval truck nuts…
