Remember these???
F bomb.
A few issues ago, I had a photo ran in the paper of the awesome looking debate coach here at FHSU. I shot a bunch of photos, finally deciding on this one.
Alright. Looks fine. Neat map framing him. But then I was told that the photo had something else in it.
Fuck you. Possibly spelled wrong, but there. Maybe I need to pay more attention to the background of my photos.
screeeeeeeech.
Last night I spent a considerable amount of time (more than is healthy) watching cars slide through stop signs out of my window. I even opened my window at one point, wanting to get the full sensory experience of near accidents. You could tell when a car’s ABS system activated, as it makes this sort of crunching noise. However, I’d like to remind people that just because you have these fancy anti-locking brakes, it means absolutely nothing on ice. Let’s explain.
First of all, ABS is meant to provide directional braking. Let’s say you suddenly have an object in front of you. With ABS, the pulsating braking helps your car not slide sideways, possibly letting you drive around the object without loosing too much control. But the common myth is that it helps you stop sooner, which is absolutely false. In fact, studies have been done that show ABS increases stopping time by as much as 25%. This is usually fine, as keeping control of the car is usually more important than trying to stop and failing.
So the lesson, kids, is that ABS is no good on ice. The extra friction created by locked wheels (non-ABS) in a mixture of snow and ice will usually stop you faster.
what was I thinking: part 785
After my conceptions of the mind class, I stayed a bit to talk with the professor. When I exited, a girl I’m very interested in was standing right outside. What did Mr. Smooth do? Well, I locked eyes for a bit, sheepishly smiled, and then left.
I’m so dumb.
floating reminder!
