TROPHY CASE

Well, it's not exactly very clever, so I'm sure the author of this comic hadn't read Larson's version.

Imagine being born there. In the middle of fuck all.

F-15 Inflight Fire, 350 Kts Approach & Runway Ejection by alupus1000in aviation

Why did it not seem to be slowing down almost at all on the runway? Were the engines jammed on?

The last picture I ever got of my Shadow by thelostzeldain dogs

[–]Mythrilfan 18 points19 points ago

Fifteen years! That's a long time to make you happy. And for bonding.

It was douchey of your family to do everything as they did, but then again I can maybe see their reasoning. You would have had a bad time and would have come over just for that reason. And telling someone who obviously cares that something bad has happened is difficult as well. Yes, this is bad reasoning. But ultimately it didn't matter. He was old, very sick and if we're going to adhere to putting down our animals humanely when it's their time, stalling does not make sense. So there weren't going to be any goodbyes which would feel real.

But then again I'm not sure there ever are.

Please don't feel responsible. It's okay to feel sad about what happened, but you had no say in any of this. Coming to visit you is not something weird. Not coming to visit you would be weird.

And no, there won't necessarily come a point at which you can say - "I'm over it." Once you're close enough to an animal, they don't really differ that much from people. It hasn't been that long since he died. The pain will, by some time, become numb. However, hurting isn't necessarily bad. You still did have good times with him. In his eyes, that was his whole purpose. You know that. You both succeeded in your roles. This is good.

At some point, you will arrive at a place in life where you can get (adopt?) a new dog. If you can rely on yourself to care for it, don't hesitate. They won't be a substitute for Shadow (what a cool name!), but that's not the point. They'll try their best to be the best damned dogs they can be, and it'll be awesome. You'll perhaps even learn to appreciate what Shadow was. A new dog won't compete for your old affections, they'll supplement them.

Shadow did his part. Now you do yours. Hang in there, friend.

Except IE9 is a good browser. Not that there's really any need to prefer it over Chrome, but still.

Pastor gives Frank the thumbs up, pure joy & happiness on Franks face. by Cubejamin formula1

[–]Mythrilfan 2 points3 points ago

I think Frank Williams is the most important figure for Formula 1

Not Colin Chapman?

Italian quadruped robot goes for a walk by neondemonin robotics

[–]Mythrilfan 2 points3 points ago

Hmm. No info on this shit blogspam post, but the original does mention a few things that are unique, such as being sort-of open source. The video shown there is more interesting as well, showing different modes of operation. And yes, it's slightly quicker (~4 vs 5 mph.)

So it's like a BigDog but worse? Hmm. I'm sure it was difficult to build, but originality is rather swell.

You manage to look good as either gender while most of us struggle with only one? No fair.

You may want to reconsider "asking."

Well, almost everything except maybe the SR-71, Valkyrie and Concorde normally flies subsonic.

Hmm, indeed they are. And not just on synthetic fuel. I wonder why I had become to believe they weren't.

In that case - what's up with the rather fast-moving fish silhouettes?

The largest, near-supersonic, semi-stealth and long-range bombers of the US are useless?

Thank you. It's quite disturbing. However, for anyone who only had a quick glance: the video has been sped up quite a few times.

[Edit:] Possibly not, see below.

Holy shit.

Ferrari 599 GTO, 2 fatalities. (context and more pics inside) [396 x 264] by gluinoin DestructionPorn

[–]Mythrilfan 16 points17 points ago

Being in the hands of a driver who causes other people to be killed by being reckless and destroying the car in the process is your definition of a "good life" for a car?
