Was it a catapult? I hope it was a catapult.

Nope, they loaded them into bobsleds and luges and sent them down the mountain. Coming this summer is their story, Disney’s Cool Runnings 2: Electric Bob-a-luge

800XL , in Trump Shooter Crooks Wasn’t on Rifle Team or Bullied, According to School

Why does the guy have to have been bullied? Maybe he just really hated a convicted criminal, rapist, draft dodger, supected pedophile, treasonous, and otherwise all-around garbage human being and thought the world didn’t need as many of those as it has.

Just because someone made an attempt on that orange clown’s life doesn’t give the horse’s ass a pass at being an all-around shit heel.

Fuck that fat piece of shit.

All the evidence points to him just doing it for the sake of committing a shooting though. He was looking up random political events, seemingly to find the closest one, regardless of party.

ryven , in ACLU Warns Trump Win Would Herald 'New Era of Mass Incarceration'

Are we not currently in an era of mass incarceration? It looks like currently the US is 6th in the world for incarceration rate and 1st in the world for total number of prisoners.

Spoiler alert: climate change.

radivojevic , in Founder of trans homeless nonprofit pleads guilty to stealing $150K in COVID relief funds

I guess going after the low hanging fruit makes people think something is being done, while the billionaires jet off with their millions in stolen covid money.

radivojevic , in Lakota teen who set world record with hair says he is proud to represent tribe

5 ft 3.3 in

While that is indeed long, I would have thought the record would have been much longer than that.

He is longest Teenager, longest ever seems to be 26 ft.

land of the free…

takeda , in How bodies of frozen climbers were finally recovered from Everest 'death zone'

Sorry for a dumb question, but there are Sherpa people taking part in this expedition and then among them there’s Mr. Sherpa? Is that his real name or maybe he introduced himself as “Sherpa” and the author just took it as his name?

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I was wondering the same thing lol

takeda ,

Thanks, but I’m still confused. Does that mean that Sherpa people don’t use last names and just call themselves by ethnicity (perhaps trying to emphasize that they are skilled climbers and can be hired as guides, for example someone calling themselves “Layne Australia” to emphasize that she is an experienced surfer) or is this a legit last name and they have other last names too?

superkret ,

Correct, kind of. They don’t use last names tradtionally, and can use “Sherpa” as last name when it’s needed to fit into other culture’s naming schemes.

But they are often given two names at birth (which may be added to or changed later in life): One for the weekday they were born at and a religious or otherwise significant name.
Example: One of the 2 first men to climb everest was Tengzin Norgay. He was born named Namgyal Wangdi. His father’s name was Ghang La Mingma and his mother’s was Dokmo Kinzom.
So in international recognition, his 2 given names are treated as first name and last name.

LostWanderer , in Pornhub Pulls Out of Nebraska

Yeah, the same for Kansas is true! We’ve got to beat those Republican freaks who are desperate to police the freedoms that everyone else enjoys without guilt.

Glowstick , in CrowdStrike’s faulty update crashed 8.5 million Windows devices, says Microsoft

Why doesn’t any testing get done before updates are pushed out? I’m not talking about extensive testing, I’m talking about like just making sure it doesn’t cause major problems?

NerdInSuspenders ,

The programmer’s fallacy: it worked on my machine!

Glowstick ,

But did it even in this case?

fubarx , in Botanists vote to remove racist reference from plants’ scientific names

“Naming animals after racists, fascists and other controversial figures cause just as many headaches as those posed by plants, say scientists. Examples include a brown, eyeless beetle which has been named after Adolf Hitler. Nor is Anophthalmus hitleri alone. Many other species’ names recall individuals that offend, such as the moth Hypopta mussolinii.”

moistclump , in A first-of-its-kind free food market opens in San Francisco: ‘Without this, some of us won’t make it’

I’d be interested in the operating costs and long term funding and business case. Just to ensure the long term protection of it.

bolapara , in J Michael Cline death: Fandango founder dies aged 64 after fall from New York hotel

He had six children. fuck.
