  • WTF?!? I’ve always thought of Dr Pepper as the looking like the Pringles man cos playing as an old timey doctor. You know: mustache, bowtie, head mirror and lab coat. Dr Pepper is married to another doctor though, Dr Pepper Cherry. All the other men in the neighborhood wants her. The Peppers have one child, who’s going through a rough patch, dealing with a negative self image, never being as good as his parents, and anorexia. Child’s name is Dr Pepper Light.

    Dr. Pepper has a brother too. The brother got into some stupid shit and didn’t finish high school. Now he lives in a trailer park, trying to prove to everyone he’s just as good as his brother, but everyone thinks of him as a redneck drunk on account of his last name. He goes by the name Root Beer. His wife’s name is Ginger, she’s a hottie from Jamaica.

    So how dare you question my world view? Hey would you look at that my panic attack is gone. Now I just have a hard on, a can of cherry pepper and a wish to mix it with some ginger beer and rum. I call the drink a “drunk ffm”.


  • 20år siden? Ok, jeg er måske ikke helt ung mere. Hvor var det vi hang ud dengang? Det må være før digg, var det newz.dk? Eller var det dk.snak.off-topic og de andre grupper i dk.* hierarkiet?

    Husker det som var det i sidste uge. Dengang var jeg mest irriteret over at fyrværkeriet forsvandt. Ikke det der røg i luften, men alt det i butikkerne. Nu virker det latterligt uempatisk, og jeg har ondt af brandmandens familie, og alle dem der lige pludseligt, og komplet uforskyldt, stod uden hjem.

    Andre der var unge og dumme dengang og kan huske discountkrudt?

    Før Seest kunne man få 100 heksehyl for 3,50kr i jem&fix (eller var de der overhovedet i 04?) flagsnor, der bare var en 5m lunte med knaldperler, faldskærmsraketter 6stk for 1,95 og 100skuds romerlys for under en femmer. Begrænsningerne var der kun fordi butikkerne ikke ville løbe tør for varer, så man kunne uden videre købe op til 2000heksehyl, putte det i rygsækken (hvis den var stor nok) og tage det med i bussen hjem. I dag ville man jo ryge ind på livstid for forsøg på terror, hvis man forsøgte det.

    Efter Seest blev der indført så voldsomme stramninger, at det ikke kunne svare sig at sælge discountkrudt mere. Og folk var generelt mere bange for bang. Slut var heksebål og romerlyskamp.

    I urge everyone to look up the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. The cultural patriarchy is crazy.

    Nobody questions how archeology is influenced by contemporary culture. When archeologists find a grave and goes “the body is buried with weapons and a shield, therefore it must be a warrior and thus a man. And they still fucking note how it’s weird that this definitely-a-man is smaller than other men from this culture, and his hips are wide, almost like a woman… But he’s a dude, he’s got weapons after all!” smh







  • North Korea is still an independent sovereign entity, and the last thing they want is to let their troops be used by Russians in a shitty way.

    … without proper compensation. I’m just guessing here, when I suspect that Russia has more USD in stock than the DPRK. But what I’m pretty certain of is, that the Kims would let you do anything to their people for the right amount of cash.

    IDK what agreement Putin and Kim has, but if it in any way considers DPRK soldiers as something resembling living creatures, for other than pumping up compensation, then I’d be very surprised.

    OK, sure, the ones that survive will have combat experience. But that’s not why they’re there.



  • Forgive me, I’m not well-versed in compound archery, but I do have an app to calculate arrows for recurve, which will also do compound arrows.

    42# is that at peak?

    With a peak of 42# and 31" draw, then you need an ATA speed rating of 358ft/s to use spine 340. I don’t know if that makes sense, as speed rating is something I haven’t heard of in recurve.

    If you know the speed I’ll put it in and give you a spine. The app I’m using is called arrows and is made by Marcel van Apeldoorn.








  • My immediate response was to do the same calc. But using SI units, because I don’t live in Myanmar or the USA.

    I figure that it’s a cube, and judging by the size of the lucky winner, I would guess that the sides are 1.5m. 3.375m^3 at 19.254 g/cm^3 is roughly 65 tons. According to https://www.metal.com/Tungsten/202212260004 tungsten bars are trading for 49USD/kg. IDK where you got 340 USD/ton, but we seem to differ.

    65 tons at 49 USD/kg is 3’185’000 USD.

    I’d say that a solid homogeneous of tungsten should probably fetch a fair bit more than my price. Casting a cube like that is not going to be easy. Tungsten is rather reactive in the molten form, and has to be kept from air. Just alone keeping 65 tons of molten tungsten under a protective layer of inergen gas is going to be challenging.
