Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.88 hp (11.10 kW) and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries […]

Sounds to me like the 1 hp unit is fair, after all.

The unfunnyness is the point, IMO. The sub is an Agrajag-like Cathedral of Hate and masochism dojo rolled into one.

Something moving that fast wouldn’t stay “north” of anyone’s location long enough for them to finish saying that…

They are ordered according to the midpoint position, it seems.

Reprobable?

Looks a bit like the Arachne browser for DOS.

Whenever cognitive behavioral therapy is mentioned with an initialism there’s this risk of losing it to immature giggling when you substitute that other meaning for “CBT”…

I don’t mean it’s not thicker, i mean it looks like it has the same diameter.

How is the top smaller though? It looks identical. There must be another reason.

Out of anger at someone roundabout predicting you will kill them.

So what does “equivalent to a firehose” mean in this case? What area per firehose? A football stadium per firehose? An Olympic swimming pool? An average room? A jar?

EDIT: I think it’s about one firehose per 10x10 meter area, so like a couple of rooms worth of area. It’s not that bad. I bet rainfalls like that do happen for a few minutes in taiphoons and such.

There is. You just need to spread out the deceleration from a few centimeters to a few meters in the falling direction, and make sure the force is being applied all over their body, not just a few spots (think bouncy castle vs rebar).

I’m missing this one. What’s the joke here?

I met someone named McCool once. I thought that was pretty cool.

I’m kinda glad stainless steel corrodes in the end. Else it would become a micro-fragment polluter like plastic.

I doubt it, that would be too much of a coincidence to have two people named Torvalds in one picture.

I disagree.

KDE 4 was such a disappointment. Made me switch to Gnome too. The only bigger disappointment for me was Amarok’s change.
