That dog looks like he tastes like cheetos

intensely_human , to aww in POV: You're literally starving your dog to death on this new diet

Well, why don’t you love her any more?

intensely_human , to aww in You ain't saw nothing

I’ve never even found a four leaf clover. I mean, I guess the last time I tried I was like 9 but still.

Benefitting humans, as a definition.

Concrete lets people build things by moving semiliquid around that hardens.

Reinforced concrete can span big gaps enabling skyscrapers basically, parking garages, structures like that.

Well, so has building with concrete.

Just curious, what’s your political leaning?

intensely_human , to Photography in Any tree photography ideas please?

Get some photos of street lights viewed through bare tree branches. The effect is pretty cool.

intensely_human , to Home Improvement in These just go out with the other recycling, right?

It depends. Are these heavy bulbs?

intensely_human , to aww in Angy

How do you get a cat to make an angry face?

intensely_human , to aww in Zero isn't sad, he just has that kind of face. :(

He looks deadpan, like he’s just ordered you to be tossed off a bridge for a debt you haven’t paid him

intensely_human , to aww in Diggy diggy hole? Diggy diggy snooze

But are you sure?

intensely_human , to aww in Diggy diggy hole? Diggy diggy snooze

Holy shit I just realized why they’re called foxholes

intensely_human , to Home Improvement in Dumb question: Is it safe to use extension ladder on interrior wall?

I have a major in structural engineering, and I’m commenting to say that you want to be very careful with reasoning that something will total less force because it caps out at your body weight.

Just to give an example, if you have a wire strung between two poles, and you hang your 100 lb self from the middle of that wire, the tension against the poles can easily be thousands of pounds.

It’s not going to play out that way with the ladder, unless the ladder is flexing. But if you have a ladder that bends, and it’s got a 10 degree bend in it, while the ladder is straightening it can be exerting far more force than your weight on the two ends.

Considering the static force diagram, a 100 lb downward force is going to be balanced by a set of opposing forces that sum to an upward 100 lb force.

Given that there are horizontal forces involved too, these individual force components can easily be greater than their sum.

Not saying for sure this ladder situation is one of those situations, but if you’re consistently applying a heuristic that a system of forces will be limited to the force input of an external stressor, you can be very rudely surprised by the actual system when it generates forces in the tons.

intensely_human , to Home Improvement in Dumb question: Is it safe to use extension ladder on interrior wall?

I can’t declare this safe or unsafe, but really thick layers of “towel” between the upper end and the wall will help distribute the force on the wall making it less likely to punch through the drywall.

You could put a big piece of plywood there, but there’s no way to hold it in place.

intensely_human , to aww in Apparently, the tongue lick means the dog is anxious, but it is cute.

No.
