Depends on your definition of bad choice… for normal people yes, for the russians that are taking over the states without firing a shot, no.

Pouring gas over everything and lighting it by tossing a lit cigarette into the puddle. It does not work that way.

To be fair a lot of wells didn’t/don’t have good water either but we were not very good at testing or noticing that kind of thing until people started dropping.

You’re correct, but I just want to point out that it isn’t advisable to drink or cook with water that comes from your hot water tank. Hot water can (and usually will) corrode metal parts from your tank and plumbing and can be contaminated by all sorts of nasty stuff that won’t go away even if you boil the water first.

If you look it up on youtube, you can see for yourself the insane amount of crap that builds up inside a hot water tank over time. https://youtu.be/kAzKts6Wp1Q?si=UMPzHcIoSRdSgJ4g&t=88

In my case it’s because the last several owners of this house were idiots that cheaped out on everything and thought they knew better than the professionals do… my plumbing is a wonderful variety of crap soldered to different crap that I think was partially salvaged from the Titanic or something.

And since I’m renting, I have no ambition to rip anything out and fix it properly unless it breaks.

That’s my kitchen sink. Takes forever to get hot water but the bathroom (Which is further from the tank) takes half the time.

The joys of an old house.

Is that the legendary pee tape?

Oh 100% for sure they do. It would be silly to not take advantage of real world testing if they had the chance.

At least the toyota guy is lifting his legs and putting some effort into that jump.

“Do a back flip!”

I read an article saying one type of the pagers that blew up was an Apollo AP-900, which uses triple A alkaline batteries, so there’s no way a battery overload could have caused that.

I think I’d prefer to just be shot.

But the vast majority of the shell fire is not as a result of the battle which raged around St Malo for nearly two weeks. After the battle, the Americans brought up various tanks and other anti-tank weapons into range and fired at them to see how much punishment they would take. It is incredible to see that virtually all the hits show shells bouncing off or merely embedding themselves into the armoured steel without penetrating it. I found only one shell hole which had penetrated the cupola straight through, whilst one other shell appears to have found a way in at the point where the moveable gun port shield slots into the turret.

Wouldn’t your drinks be warmer if kept in there?

Well… somethings gonna get wet.

When an octopus gets frightened it releases ink to confuse predators. Due to his love of hamburgers Donnie releases catsup.

One of the giants was 7’9” tall (2.36 m) while the “shorter” one was a mere 7’4” tall (2.23 m) and according to various sources they were indeed twin brothers. They created quite an impression at the Durbar as they literally stood heads and shoulders above the rest. The brothers were known as the Two Kashmir Giants and were elite riflemen in the service of the Maharaja. https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/kashmir-giants/

So ya they were pretty big.
