I’ve never pictured Casper with legs, but yeah that’s definitely it
Oh man, it does look more like Wilma, can’t believe I missed that
#1 why does Davie504 look like a ladybug?k
I have one, Razor DXT Drift Trike, fantastic for when my kids are riding their bikes around the neighborhood. Bought it half as a joke, but it puts me down on their level and it’s actually a lot of fun

Vince Neil had a cover on a Japanese version of one of his solo albums, I always liked it as a heavier/shreddier option and the one you linked seems to be in a similar vein, thanks for sharing
Yes
These two are AI, right? If not, why do both of their mouths track so oddly…
If 300lbs is so far above the safety factor that it means likely/imminent injury then the posted limit should be closer to 200lbs. There are differences between “weight limit” situations and “MAX WEIGHT, CAUTION - here’s your waiver” situations.I’d react to getting hurt on a slide like this with a mea-culpa personally, because I’m fairly active and my weight is certainly a factor I keep in mind all the time, but if there were no clearly posted weight limits that’s a different story. (2/2)
Hell, I ride downhill MTB and while I do use slightly larger brake rotors and high-strength parts in strategic places when I build my bikes they are normal common parts, just intended for people who ride much harder than I do. I have to do more maintenance, and I’m more serious about pre-ride inspections than anyone I ride with, but my weight isn’t a disqualification.Also, weight != fat. Don’t get me wrong I am also fat, but at 300lbs I wasn’t, and I have seen plenty of spherical 200lb-ers.
I mean, not really. I’m 350lbs, and I’d say 300lbs is more the line where you need to be aware of your size and its impact on the things you use, not an automatic disqualification. I use standard Werner or Little Giant ladders/step ladders, normal desk chairs in my offices outside of the Steelcase Gesture I have at home, and while I agree on slides being a personal no-go the only time I don’t ride a rollercoaster it’s due to my legs not fitting at 6’7”.

THIS IS HYGENIC
My mother mistakenly bought hotdogs with cheese in the middle when I was ~4. She went to cut them up for me, then saw what she thought was butter on the knife that was being spread onto the hot dog and so wiped it off before continuing to cut. Of course it came right back, so she tried wiping it again. This continued until she was entirely convinced she was losing her mind and my dad investigated, finally finding the ‘with cheese’ packaging label. Story came up again and again for years after
Yeah, the rapid fire delivery and frequent switcheroos and asides is kinda Tom Cotter’s thing, and he’s phenomenal at it
Yikes, didn’t even notice the gremlin to her side, must have been blinded by tennant
Singing is at 1:55, can’t figure out how to time-stamp the link
Jessie J can sing that way, gotta wonder how you figure out you can do that hahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6BXpFBhZZQ
2.72 yesterday, but Irving has a .20 off promo currently instead of their normal .10 off for debit pay so I paid 2.52 in New Hampshire
My favorite part of that thread is the addition that they then proceeded to lie and tell him erections also make noise
Feels a very dim candle to what Sir Terry may have brought forth, and I feel that much more strongly after Raising Steam than Shepherd’s Crown.Oh, and King Carrot and the Dragon of his heart, can’t say what I wouldn’t do to be able to read that one…
Raising Steam feels like so much progress has been made; civilization has expanded via the rail and the Clacks, the Vimes school of justice has brought some fairness to Ankh and started to spread across the disc, species are starting to work together instead of make war. From the end of that story there is a view through a keyhole to what the Discworld can keep growing to be, and what I wish our world was to some degree, and that makes it a very fitting ending. The problem is my imagination…
But Raising Steam, while being a much more ‘finished’ book, is where I feel those missing parts in the Discworld story. I want the story of the Dwarves powering the city with the Devices found in their undermining. I want the story of the Goblin Subway. I want a Sam Jr book, and a Nutt and Forgiveness book, more Simon and Eskarina, I want to meet Susan and Lobsang’s kid and find out what comes of Human/Death/Time progeny being told to “MAKE YOUR BED, I DON’T CARE WHAT MR. SCHLEPPEL SAYS”
so often when I’m reading and re-reading Discworld books my thoughts follow the same pattern. It’s like being meandering through a stunning wood, then suddenly discovering a new path that goes exactly where I suddenly know I was already headed. It makes me feel closer to the author, and is a big part of why the essential brilliance and decency of his writing is so impactful to me. He writes and my soul agrees, the rejoices when he shows me something new, or an old thought in a new light…
I feel the same on Raising Steam. In one of the forewords/extras it was indicated that while Sir Terry finished writing Shepherd’s Crown it didn’t get the time to be polished, rephrased, added to and edited until it was finally torn from his fingers by the publisher as his other works did. To me it feels like there are parts that have the right overall shape but meander, or that restate a concept a few times because none quite fit exactly /so/. I love it for that, because…
