🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD

Right, but I mean, how much do you kill if you get to 130°? 140°? etc?
OTOH, the existence of the virus means there is some risk.

Was this in Washington or Colorado?

Yeah, I caught that, too.

OTOH, the existence of the virus means there is some risk.
OTOH you could just irradiate all your food with an unlicensed particle accelerator before eating and now worry about it.

Yeah, I'd worry about that now, too.

Dammit.
-
Anyways, your neighbors should probably be worried.

Fuck 'em. They're up at ungodly hours vacuuming and doing laundry.

At least their food is probably pathogen free, too.

See? Win-win.

The Double Donut burger consists of two beef burgers topped with cheese, four bacon rashers and BBQ sauce, sandwiched between two glazed ring-doughnuts.
AN obesity chief has called for a pub chain to scrap a 2,000-calorie double donut burger from its menu.
[...]
Now Ms Mulhern has called for it to be taken off the menu. In her online blog, she wrote: “Now we all make mistakes and I would suggest that the Hungry Horse chain has made a mistake here. It would be refreshing if they had a rethink and decided to withdraw this 2,000-calorie burger from the menu.“Sure people have a right to make their own choices but don’t we have a responsibility to make sure that some disastrous options are not even available?”There's alway a but in these nannying fussbuckets' arguments.
She needs to get a proper job. Preferably not one paid for with my taxes....

I count 8, meaning there was a stop to reload in the middle of doing this. You'd think that would have been enough for someone to go "maybe this isn't a good idea".

Probably thought, "let's see how far we can take this for the internet!"

I had one of those at a place called Crave in Denver. Absolutely delicious! I also had a plate of sweet potato fries and some ridiculous brownie sundae thing. My buddies downloaded a calorie app and estimated I ate around 3,500 calories that meal.
I have had one also, not in Denver though. I am pretty sure that it took a few days off my life. So worth it.
Best burger I have ever had was at Slater's 50/50 in LA. Their burgers are 50% ground sirloin and 50% ground bacon. -drools-
Now when do I have to go back to LA?

I've heard those are great, but never made it out to one when I've been out there.
-
-
I have a bunch of those around me, I normally go there around my birthday, after a few drinks at Stone.
-
That's....impressive. Usually the gun explodes by the second shot.

Next time you are in LA, the rest of your commitments can wait until you have had one. It is that good. Apparently @chubertdev will back me up on this. Go for the original 50/50: "50/50, pepper jack, sunny side up egg, avocado mash, chipotle adobo mayo, brioche".
-
I was born and raised in LA, but never heard of Slater's 50/50 before now. I haven't had a reason to go back to LA in 7, going on 8, years, and unfortunately I don't anticipate having a reason in the foreseeable future. (No, having a burger is not a reason to travel 1200 miles.)
-
Why is that even a thing?
It's tabloid news-speak, while talking down to the proles, for what her real job title is: Birmingham Public Health childhood obesity co-ordinator.
Now, if you're going to turn round and ask me why that exists, it's merely the public sector suckling off the teat of the taxpayer.
In the name of
nannybully-statism dressed up as 'public health,' and Grandad's Law dressed up as 'won't anyone think of the children.'

They also have pretty good trivia on Tuesdays. I played with a friend that was on Jeopardy, and we ended up second, won a pair of Fastball tickets.

In this case, it is. Trust me on this.

S&W apparently makes an 8-shot revolver int .357 Magnum.
-
My best guess is someone is a handloader and forgot to put powder in the rounds. If it was primer-only I could understand the bullets stacking up like that and not blowing up the barrel.
-
"Here, hold my beer..."
The speculation is that at least 3 rounds or so were squibs, meaning no gunpowder, just the primer. The primer would have enough force to push the bullet partway down the barrel.
Also, being a revolver, there's a gap 'twixt cylinder and barrel for exhaust to come out, so an explosion is less likely.

You know that she said "people should be able to make their own choices, but we should prevent them from having bad ones" without a hint of irony.

Nice hacksawing too.
-
-
Definitely milled. Based on the radius of the cutter (plus it would be easier to clamp), I'd say vertical mill. Two passes — maybe more, but you can clearly see two radii at the left end of the milled section.
-
I assume it wasn't an actual hack-saw, but a powertool of some type. I temporarily forgot everybody here was a pedantic dickweed.
Point is, it's a nice cut which ends in a nice curve in some very very tough steel.
-

Hacksaw and power tool are not mutually exclusive:
However, the tool that was used was probably something like this:
-
No you're not being pedantic dickweed enough!!! That is not a hacksaw but a Prosper model PH-7116, shipped from Shandong, China with a 160mm max sawing size and 92 reciprocations per minute!!! Serial number 42476231, photographed on March 12th 2013!!!!!!!!!!!@!!!csahjdfZSDfgag3ug4 12 c4iu6qt 7

A space lander that posts its own success on Twitter. As in, the lander itself calls the twitter API via a special radio-to-internet gateway from millions of miles away and posts the results there.
They already have Twitter accounts, so this is just a small step.
-

False. A Prosper model PH-7166 is a hacksaw — a power hacksaw.
No you're not being pedantic dickweed enough!!!
I merely sought to demonstrate that{hacksaws} ⋂ {power tools} ≠ ∅
by finding one item (of many) that is a member of both. I succeeded in this. Which specific member of that set I happened to find was and is irrelevant.
-

I do not understand why this is a bad idea. Apart from Twitter itself being a bad idea.

As mentioned in the First World Problems thread I have yet to set up the wi-fi on our new washing machine. I am now wondering if it will update its us on its progress via Twitter.

Skynet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you want some russian kid with nmap and metasploit to overwrite your washing machine's firmware to make it send spam and sniff your laptop's traffic for CC numbers?
If not, I recommend refraining from connecting devices to the wi-fi until they can actually use it for useful stuff OR hardware companies manage to make security devices.
-
Skynet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A space probe sending an automated, pre-programmed message to the general public in a zillion languages == Skynet. Um, sure. Whatever you say.
Edit: Infiniscrolling further back into its tweet history, it is disturbingly chatty. I hope those messages are really coming from human ground controllers via the spacecraft, because having the spacecraft itself generate its status messages in that conversational style would be ... um, I'm not sure what, but I see where you're going with the Skynet comparison.

-

Baloney. I bet that was pendantry-bait.
-
-
I had assumed they were coming from human project PR people straight to twitter, no spacecraft involved.
-

Actually, while thatwas pendantic, it was not dickweedery.
