What did you learn today?

[Black Hills]

Learned how to make meth, think I'll stick wih my day job..

Which method?

the one in the Gatorade bottle, sudoephine, lithium, camp fuel, then muriatic acid/salt ?? looks dangerous as hell to me and the explosions on video were cool. morgue shots of some of the cooks were good too

Ah, the one-pot method. Either you get meth or an explosion. Bottom end product yield, not suitable for sale, just personal use as you swirl the drain of life.

yep, apparently its the biggest danger now, "labs" are not a big deal around here anymore and these "bombs" are what our guys are most likely to stubble upon. also had some good training on marijuana grows on public lands. stumbling on to them is not a good deal either...

Gotta have your 'A' game face on responding to lab fires.  Too cold to grow marijuana here outside, but you do get some 'interesting' electrical wiring in some of the indoor grow facilities.

Sent from the Moto X. A wicked awesome phone.

We'll have to compare.  I have one too- right where it snuck in and got through my sock.

If you are going to do it, do it right.

I learned Harley built a quick, quiet and smooth motorcycle and will not sell it.

I did not know this:

The resumption of supersonic passenger travel is getting closer to reality, NASA said this week, as the agency's aeronautics researchers are making progress in developing low-sonic-boom technology. "Lessening sonic booms … is the most significant hurdle to reintroducing commercial supersonic flight," said Peter Coen, head of the High Speed Project in NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. Efforts now underway at NASA include research into how people react to a variety of sounds, how to predict the occurrence of the booms, and how to make them quieter. Engineers now believe the design of a practical low-boom supersonic commercial jet is "within reach," NASA said.

The NASA researchers presented the results of their research this week at a conference in Atlanta, Ga., hosted by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Aircraft designs now being tested are characterized by a needle-like nose, a sleek fuselage and a delta wing or highly swept wings -- shapes that result in much lower booms. But sonic booms aren't the only technical issue to overcome before supersonic passenger jets can take off. "Other barriers include high altitude emissions, fuel efficiency and community noise around airports," Coen said.

I just didn't learn anything today. I just pointed out to the hospital that keeping a medically fit, high risk sex offender next to a female ward was dumb. Then I discharged him.

Crossing Chicago west to east on I80/94 absolutely sucks donkey balls.

[Cablebandit]

I can easily make it to Cleveland on a tank of fuel.

I learned there is a scientific index on the pain of various insect stings.

Riding a C14 at a sustained 85mph for an entire tank of gas, two up, carrying a cannon, will net you 49 mpg.

Is that good? Does the canon help?

It must.  39-41 is the norm.  I think the lack of terrain helps more than anything.

Pa. and NY. brought me from 27 to 24 mpg. F-ng hills.

I learned that I can't look at a dove and not think, "Hmmm...how tasty would 1/4 of that dove breast be jammed into a jalapeno pepper with some cream cheese and wrapped in some bacon?"

Thanks, Clay...you've ruined doves for me now.

Over the weekend, I learned that water will still find a way to soak a smartphone placed inside 2 Ziplock baggies and a "waterproof" drybag while kayaking the American River.

 

Shit happens.

[squeezer]

I learned that the reason the dark side of the moon doesn't have the same features as the side we see is that it cooled more quickly, creating a thicker crust.

I also learned that when you tell that to people my age, they'll think about Pink Floyd for the rest of the day.

I've learned that one can be promoted to a high office without ever learning to speak English properly. This is a native born English speaker, only language.

I learned that my flux capacitor is broken.
I went 88mph from Minnesota to Montana and only went back in time one hour. Dammit.

Perhaps several.

Pink Floyd - Set the control for the Heart of the Sun

[MrsCablebandit]

I learned how to do a quick stop on a bicycle. Didn't know that I should throw my weight backwards (ass off the back of the seat) to lower my chest and head to lower my center of gravity and prevent a "stoppie."

[HipGnosis]

You can use Windows Easy Transfer Wizard's 'External Harddrive' option to backup a corrupt Windows profile onto a partition of the internal harddrive.
You can then delete the profile, make a new one and recover the data and settings.
Kinda extra cool that the old and new profiles do not have to be named the same.

There is no dark side of the moon, really.  As a matter of fact it's all dark.

You run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking...

When passing wind in the Supermarket, always aim to be near the French cheese display.

So, with all darkness, you're saying noone's Pink?

Congratulations Pennsylvania!
You now have a State Aircraft!

The historic Piper J-3 Cub is now the official aircraft of the state of Pennsylvania. Governor Tom Corbett has signed into law the legislation, known as Act 73. State Rep. Mike Hanna, D-Clinton/Centre, who has spearheaded the campaign, said he is elated. "At long last, the exploits of the Piper Cub, and the people who made the engineering marvel, receive their just recognition," said Hanna, whose H.B. 1989 made the designation official. "Let the world know that Lock Haven gave birth to the plane whose popularity in peace and war remains unparalleled 77 years after it first began production."
