- Comment on How do stunt people fall down stairs without hurting themselves? 6 days ago:
Not an answer but you might be interested in looking up “parachute landing fall,” a method parachutists use to distribute the force of hard landings throughout their body. I guarantee every stunt person knows the PLF and the stair fall is probably somewhat related to it.
I’ve noticed they definitely have a method for rolling down hills in movies, they always do it like this Princess Bride clip. Nothing but their arms and back and knees touch the ground.

- Comment on If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars? 4 weeks ago:
A lot of 70s cars were pretty damn ugly too

“The 10 plagues are proven, that there was a “tower of bable”, Sodom and Gomorra, the city, from what i know are also proven to have existed.”
None of those are proven. Egyptians kept good records and there are no records of Hebrew slaves in Egypt, and no records of the plagues or their escape. Furthermore, the Bible says the hebrews had 600,000 men in their army, which means easily 2-3 million people in all. This is roughly the same as the population of Egypt at the time.
I’ve never heard anyone claim there’s any evidence for the Tower of Babel so I can’t comment on that, but people claiming Sodom and Gammorah existed point to naturally occurring Sulfer deposits as proof.
“But i’d gladly would like to hear, why you think Iesus of nazared is supposed to be fiction?”
Mythicism, the idea that Jesus wasn’t a real person, is not new but has risen in popularity on recent years because of historian Richard Carrier. There actually isn’t much real evidence that Jesus existed but there is a little. Carrier basically ignores or misinterprets this evidence and isn’t well regarded in scholarly circles. His most recent work failed peer review, which he attributes to a conspiracy against him.
“The apostals all existed and their letters are one prove for that.”
We don’t have a single thing that we know were written by the apostiles. They were most likely illiterate anyway. The Bible books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written anonymously. Hundreds of years later, the church put names on them.

I like some of the stories in the Bible but it’s still pretty hard to read. I don’t know why, I don’t have that problem with other, even older writings. There is nothing confusing about the Enuma Elish, for example. I think the Epic of Gilgamesh is freaking great.
But when the Bible steals a story told in the Epic of Gilgamesh and makes it Noah’s flood, it loses all meaning. The original wasn’t all that exciting to begin with but there was a deep meaning to it being in the Epic. But in the Bible, what is the meaning? What’s the moral to the story? It just doesn’t work.

Wikipedia sez
The name “sperm whale” is a clipping of “spermaceti whale”. Spermaceti, originally mistakenly identified as the whales’ semen, is the semi-liquid, waxy substance found within the whale’s head.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 4 months ago:
I knew the OP couldn’t be right because how do you add a dimple after the jug is full?
But I’m not sure ambient air temperature during molding is the whole story either, although I expect that is a concern that is taken into consideration and the article below leaves it out.
The article says “*The high-density polyethylene plastic jugs are made of shrinks slightly over time. It also shrinks more in hot temperatures than cold temperatures…
Producers must make jugs slightly larger to offset inevitable shrinkage if they are exposed to summer heat in transport and/or go to long-term storage before being filled, but they want to keep the jugs smaller in cold months and if jugs go directly to be filled.*”
It’s saying the dimple is to adjust the size of the jug depending on what shrinkage it’s likely to see before being filled. So you can presumably have small dimples in summer if they go directly to be filled, and large dimples in winter if they’re going to be transported and stored first.

- Comment on They Wylin' 5 months ago:
I don’t think we can read that much into it. “Ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing bubba like I made up last week when we were joking about what Putin might have on him.”
Regardless if it’s true or not, this would be a great time for Clinton to take one for the team and say it happened. “He even introduced me to something called analingus, which I had never had before. He was really practiced at it, he said it was his favorite thing in the world.”
- Comment on They Wylin' 5 months ago:
I like that millions of people are asking if Trump was giving blowjobs but this looks like a joke to me. This isn’t Epstein letting it slip that Trump likes to have dicks in his mouth. He’s with Bannon so his brother is joking “ask him what blackmail Putin has on Trump, photos of him blowing somebody or something?”
Unless maybe Jeff told Mark that Trump gives BJs so Mark is saying “ask Bannon about that thing you told me about.”

- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 6 months ago:
When I was 15 in the 90s, every adult in the family, and adult friends of the family, said “You’re 15? Let’s go drive for an hour or two!” I’m pretty sure that, legally, a parent was supposed to be with me, but I guess any random adult was close enough.
I just added up 14 different vehicles I “learned on,” including an old pickup with “three on the tree”, a Corvette, a 280z turbo, a 68 Chevelle, an International Scout. The rest were boring vehicles. If I remember correctly, 9 were manuals.
