Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

I've travelled through India a couple of times enroute to mountains in Sikkim and Bhutan. The traffic, camels, elephants, cows, donkeys etc and road washouts in the mountains were nearly all more adventurous than the mountaineering.

 

I can definitely see her having a heart attack or something, falling to the ground dead and them coming up and eating her. Hell, they’re cannibals so a human would taste awesome to them!

 

...^^^... When I was a little kid ... and as a city-slicker kid I almost fell into a crowded hog pen at my uncle's farm.

Later, I was told, that the hogs could have eaten me (as a small kid) if they were hungry.

I never went around those hogs again ... I did watch them being fed and they went crazy when eating food.

On the other hand, I have seen hogs that were calm and relatively tame to watch.

Maybe, It depends on the type of hog, the way they are penned up and if they are hungry?

I am a city-slicker and not a hog expert ... just remember that experience very well.

PS .. I do know that the South Georgia wild hogs will ambush, charge and attack you in a heartbeat. ... "HogZilla" came from South Georgia.

 

Thats a hard no Papa John.... Your pizza has been shitty since 1984. And WTF is that container of yellow grease for??

As long as it doesn't have pineapple on it I'll still eat it, I don't care. Pizza's pizza.

 

I just noticed this said India. I was reading all these threads as Indiana.

 

Arctic Trucks built a special edition for Nissan with 32" tires https://arctictrucks.com/blog/2018/04/24/nissan-launches-navara-offroader-at32/

 

You mean 32" tyres. They are European.

They measure tires in inches, but everything else is metric.

...^^^... IIRC ... the newer versions of the Ranger, Frontier, and Mitsubishi have been in Thailand for at about 2 years now.

 

Refinery by my house tonight, blew my windows out, broke my door frames and caved my garage doors in. Pretty fucking insane. I was watching TV with my boys when it happened.

 

Glad you're safe.

Maybe a dumb question, But why are houses and refineries next to each other?

 

Glad your okay. Looks pretty bad! Found an article about it:
https://abcnews.go.com/US/explosion-erupts-texas-chemical-refinery/story?id=67338800

 

I’m probably a mile from it. Still too close but in southeast TX refineries are everywhere. I can’t wait to retire and get out of here.

 

Gotta love these data points -- they sound so horrific.

Yet we forget the scale we're working with. India has 1.339 billion people.

One per every four minutes is 131,400 per year.

So that's 0.0098% or 1 in 10,190.

According to this info (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate) the traffic fatality rate is 16.6 per 100,000 (2013 data).

Rate in the US was 12.4 per 100,000 (2016 data).

So yeah, India's a bit worse -- but not nearly so horrific as the "every four minutes" would make you think.

 

Just like Korea and Saudi Arabia, they don't really have traffic laws, only traffic suggestions. Unless you're a US Service Member, serving there...

It's actually pretty bad ass, you can get it with a front locker in the 2019s

Plus I'm sure you can get one made with 38s or 40s like their other rigs

 

You should look up the birth rate in India. Whoever said "life can't be replaced" didn't know statistics

 

I saw this Nissan in Iceland a couple of years ago.
