He's not wrong. You're brimming with unwarranted arrogance. Your contribution to this forum is painful. If only the mobile app had an ignore function.

I understand what you're saying. But if he's going literally 18 mph, there's a very good chance you'd be out of harm's way by the time you approach the next stop sign and definitely by the time you get to the second one.

That's pretty weird, I wonder if his car was in danger off shutting down if he came to a complete stop.

Maybe it was a like a very specific version of Speed where he has to keep his speed between 15-20MPH or his car explodes.

You missed a chance to save his life.

My building has an electronic gate to get in and out. You need to swipe your security pass to open the door.

Approximately one in 5 people think you need to wait for the gate to close before swiping them open. You don't, you can just swipe and wait for the beep.

So once or twice a week I'm stood waiting for an extra 2 or 3 seconds behind someone while they stand looking at the doors... It drives me ****ING INSANE! But it's such a small length of time it's pointless to try and do anything about it.

Sounds like a Playboy centerfold turn offs section. Do they still do those?

Do they even have Playboy?

Remember when a picture of even a partly naked girl was a big deal?

Man, what does having all that pr0n do to boys nowadays? Hard to imagine what that would have been like at 13.

Pretty unbelievable. Within 30 seconds you can watch a video of any combination of two people of any age, race, gender doing anything you can imagine.

Oh the fun times of sliding an index card around the inside of the cable box hoping to get a boob shot instead of wavy lines

I grew up on dial up to porn... 15 minutes watching a single image download line by line...

Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue was the closest thing we had to porn

One would be "done" by the time you could see the top of her head.

When people say 'squared' as a clever way of saying there are two of something. Like when someone has M for a first and last initial they'll call them M squared.

That OOT isn't part of Other Topics.

Heh, I do this. For a long time I bought into the myth that this helps prevent it from foaming over. I know now that it doesn't, but it's just habit now.

That there were two Triple A baseball players on the opposing D League recreational slowpitch softball team last night.

To be fair, one of them put on quite the show. Fence is 300 feet in left center. He crushed one at least 10' over the top of the 30' light structure standing behind it. Easily 500+ feet.

I never understood this.

Yeah, no one hits slow pitch softball 500 feet. Longest MLB homerun this year is 477'.

Easily.

A baseball travels in a parabolic line due to gravity. So even if we take your statement of the ball being 40' above the ground at 300' as fact, that doesn't mean that the ball went that much further.

If the ball is hit at a 45 degree angle, then to be 40ft high at a distance of 300ft, it was initially hit at ~125mph. According to a quick google I did, that's faster than is plausible for softball (the fastest exit speed in MLB this year is 120mph), but let's roll with it. You can quibble about using 45deg angle (assumption of no air resistance, most home runs are closer to 30deg, etc) but using a different angle and factoring in air resistance means a higher ball speed which just makes your story more outlandish.

A ball hit at 125mph at a 45deg angle will be 40' high 300' away and will ultimately end up traveling... 310'.

So, yeah, that 40ft of height got you an additional 10' or so. Not 200'...

Math.

These bats are trampolines guys, not wood. This guy was huge, easily average MLB strength, but with a bat that hits balls substantially further/faster than those used in MLB

How do you swing a trampoline like that? I'm actually impressed.

Lol at these series of posts
