How much impact/shock can snow absorb. Or is it the boots or something. How can snowboarders jump off shit so high so easy but skateboards have pretty much maxed out at 25 stairs

[close]

im no expert but i think it's probably split between the snow absorbing shock, as well as the distribution of impact along the entire bottom of the snowboard as opposed to our 4 wheels on concrete

speed plays a major role too. it disperses the impact. youll notice if you skate a drop fast then slow. fast is safer.
to guy who said flies dont hurt, i think in africa they do. or is it just tse tse fly?
a comedian once said 'you never see a really tall old guy' and it's fairly rare. kareem abdul jabbar is still w/ us but somehow smaller people have more staying power.

[L33Tg33k]

i actually pondered this last night before i fell asleep more than i pondered it today...

skateboard tricks you can't do, but if you're life depended on it you think you could {first try}. Like, i can't hardflip, but if someone took me hostage and was threatening to kill me and all of my loved ones unless i did a hardflip - i reckon i could do a hardflip.

I'm sorry, but that's not how anything works and it would be the last hardflip attempt of your life.

I'm a tall guy (not NBA/crazy tall just 6'6 I'd say near the begining of tall guy range) so I think about it a fair bit. I think it's especially the heart it's not that much bigger,if at all but has to so much more work. Plus all the extra strain on all your joints etc exercise becomes hard so your general health gets worse.

why do people hate flies so much? they can be annoying at times, but they're ultimately harmless (to your body itself, not food). of course i don't know HEAPS about the insect, but i've never heard of someone getting sick or injured by a fly.

If you've ever been anywhere where there are swarms of them, they are annoying as fuck. They get in your eyes and nose and everywhere.

I've also been places where there are biting flies, and they cause the itchiest bites that drive you insane.

Also when you get maggots in your bin and you wake up and there are maggots all over your kitchen floor, well that is also shit.

So yeah, I hate flies. But I don't use flyspray or anything, and there's always flies in my house, but still they are annoying as fuck so i hate em.

You could look at it in an evolutionary way: flies tend to congregate around decaying stuff, stuff that could likely make our ancestors sick if they tried to eat it.  Those individuals that learned to recoil from flies were probably less likely to get sick from eating rancid meat and so they were more likely to survive and pass along that attribute to the next generation.

How philosophic. I had a thought yesterday along the same lines: Trying stuff for the first time is always going to be hard, unless you never try it. Sounds stupid now I typed it but it sounded quite philosophical when I said it, I promise.

I’m looking at Mike Taylor ‘s doppelgänger rn. He sounds just like him too. Guy was making me do extra in class last week. I’m going to tell him I don’t wanna meditate today at all.

PTSD mofos gotta find their own way of meditation and listening to your posi bs makes my heart smash with distrust

If you took away all the furs and fancy leggings and bling, Henry VIII just looks like your run-of-the-mill workaday schmo. I can totally see him behind the counter of a tire shop or something.

I guess you could probably say the same for a lot of royalty throughout history.

In the purge why doesn't anyone just kill people a couple of hours early before they are ready?  the next day there's be thousands of bodies to go thru so there's no way they are bothering to do an autopsy an figure out they died a bit before the purge started.
And they always just let their guard down the minute the purge ends. If someone was crazy enough to kill as if they'd care if they were a couple minutes too late. Some people might even wait until after time just to make things easier.
I guess the people just obey the rules so the movie can work.

I’m writing a power violence song called Acab.

All Caucasians Attar Bologna

I’m trying to find this movie sample though or it can’t happen.

In the dialogue this Kid said that all white peoples smells like bologna.

Help me find it please?

What's up with matty_c?

Ive been thinking of building a cinderblock ledge at this ditch spot by my house. My concern though is that the neighbors near by will call the cops and tear down the ledge. Also I have not friends in the area since I just moved so it would be a lot of work for me to build.

[Velcro Wallet]

I really liked Donnie P of Pawnshop/hockey fame and a few years ago I’d even say he was one of my favourites. Loved the Chicano cosplay etc.

But then he got fat. And I don’t like him as much.

Does this make me a terrible person?? It’s been playing on my mind quite a bit.

they likely won't even notice it. if it's a good ditch you're likely no the first person to put wheels to asphalt. i say go for it, shouldn't cost you but $50 and if they knock it down put it up again somewhere upriver.

[gabba ghoul]

a long time ago, there was a guy called 'sex goat' who was fighting all the pros in nyc. he fought billy rohan, he fought jim greco, maybe more. why was he fighting pros? and was he 'sex goat' like shane heyl or 'sex greatest of all time'?

the purge is one of the least sensical movies out there it seems, for pretty much every reason

Think about how much the shoe/sock/glove industries have benefitted from the fact that everything they sell is in pairs.

How many sales have come from losing one glove or one sock or one shoe?  These sock and glove industry jet setter fat cats wouldn’t be so smug if animal biology had went a different path.

We’d all be hopping around like Lowly Worm and their empires built on lost socks would be nothing like they are today.

In particular skate shoes. Would be dope if you could buy single shoes if your switch game is as mediocre as mine.

you can do this if you're galaxy brained, i once saw a kid at the skatepark skating 2 different shoes and when i asked him why he informed me that he switched one shoe out a time, regardless of whether or not his next shoe would be the same model or even size. if i remember correctly he had 2 different size shoes, one was vans and one was etnies maybe? wild shit.

Watching this show "la brea" (which so far maybe worst acting and CGI ever) which has a big natural disaster and there's a scene where the goodies just reverse their car thru traffic all crazy. I've noticed this in a lot of movies, like we are just supposed to be ok with our protagonists basically killing people to save themselves. Maybe it's the writers subtle way of making people feel ok about being privaledged

I like salba. He said some shit that’s all the way sick.

Olson is always going to be the greatest tho.

Mike v never actually fought anyone, he just kinda attacked people. Then when he decided to get serious instead of learning boxing, karate, any type of actual fighting or even actual wresting he chose to do some budget version of theatrical wrestling.

[slapfight simba]

yes the truley tough are amateur wrestlers and slap fighters. slap is the ultimate 'give me your best shot' tough.

I don't know though. Remember when he got his ass kicked by that hockey player? That was pretty fun.

how the fuck did people discover bread?
i can MAYBE understand making flour, but the whole process of putting ALL that shit together for seemingly no reason, and then putting it into a super hot fire. makes NO fucking sense.

Same as all old foods. What about drinks like mead,ale,cider,wine,beer etc oh this foods gone completely off and disgusting I guess I'll drink it. Oh it also kinda tastes like total shit I guess I'll keep drinking more. I literally have poisoned myself and feel sick guess I'll just drink pretty much only this for the next 4 thousand years

holy shit. i didn't even think about that!
it is insane that alcohol use has prevailed as such a regular thing. you just get sick for a few hours, maybe it's enjoyable but you pretty much hit the nail on the head with what you said. weird as fuck how all of the things we consume now got discovered at all.

How about being the first to figure out how to make stuff out of metal?  Would you have ever imagined that you could take some shiny shit you just dug up, make it really hot (which I’m sure wasn’t easy), melt it down and turn it into something else if you didn’t already know about it?

It’s crazy how many of these ancient and medieval monarchs fought alongside their soldiers during battles.  That would be like if we sent Joe Biden in to defuse IED’s in Afghanistan.

personally i find the discovery of metal somewhat easier to grasp. while it certainly wouldn't have been easy, it makes more sense creating tools out of metal. perhaps they cut it down rather than melting it at first, though that surely would have been difficult as well.
'hey grug'
'whats up ugg'
'i found this crazy shiny lump'
'oh shit whats up with that'
'i'm gonna smash a rock with it'
(ugg smashes a rock with the metal lump)
'holy fuck ugg that shiny lump is really something'
'we should use it grug, think of what we could achieve'
'you're right ugg, we can finally be the big bosses'
(grug and ugg kill and enslave with their shiny rocks and superior tools)
(as they sit on their thrones, grug and ugg reflect on their rise to power)
[THIS TIME, THE CONVERSATION BEGINS WITH GRUG]
'we made something pretty good here ugg'
'we're the strongest men around grug that's for sure'
'but are we the best men? think of all we COULD have done'
'what do you mean by that grug?'
'i mean, we made all this violence. while we are powerful, this might only be a fraction of what we could have achieved, if we used the shiny rocks differently'
'what are you saying grug'
'i'm saying that you're fucking evil!'
'hell yeah i am, i'm the baddest motherfucker around. grug, what are you doing? grug, stop that shit'
(grug bashes ugg over the head with the rock, and ugg perishes to the very thing that once brought him life)

DISCLAIMER: i don't speak caveman, so it might be a bit incorrect to history.
