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

Where else would you keep them?

 

More proof (as if we needed any) that stupidity is infinite.

 

Oh that had to hurt.

 

Why do wheels like going rogue and hurting/killing people in Asia?

 

Because they have less BS regulation than us, you know, mandatory safety inspections and that type of stuff

 

It's like they have a mind of their own though

 

Man defends child porn collection, claims to be an 8-year-old girl

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A convicted sex offender who says he identifies as an eight-year-old girl will spend at least a decade in prison for dozens of images of child pornography found on his home computer.

Joseph Gobrick, 45, claims the images were computer-animated and protected under the First Amendment.

“I’ve always been an 8-year-old girl,’’ Gobrick said at sentencing. “And even my drawings and fantasies, I am always an 8-year-old girl.’’

But police said eight child victims were identified in the pornography recovered from Gobrick’s computer.

Some of the images depicted children between the ages of infant and five years old being sexually assaulted, court records show.

Kent County Assistant Prosecutor Daniel Helmer called Gobrick “a danger to the public.’’

“Even during the trial, the defendant continued to draw, talking about raping babies in the Kent County Jail and making other statements about how this is his constitutional right to continue to do so," Helmer said.

Kent County Circuit Court Judge Paul Denenfeld recently sentenced Gobrick to between 10 and 20 years in prison.

“Based on everything he’s said and done, including bragging about what he was drawing in his cell, he obviously doesn’t think child sexually abusive material is wrong,’’ Denenfeld said. “This isn’t just virtual stuff; this is also real people being harmed.’’

The case was bizarre, to be sure. At a bench trial, Gobrick fired his court-appointed attorney and opted to represent himself.

He argued the images found on his computer were created using an image manipulating program. He also said the images were protected under the First Amendment.

Denenfeld found him guilty on three counts of child sexually abusive commercial activity and using a computer to commit a crime.

Gobrick continued to maintain his innocence at sentencing and challenged the legality of his prosecution.

“Under the law, Auschwitz was legal,’’ Gobrick said, in an apparent reference to the Nazi concentration camp in southern Poland. “What you’re doing here is wrong, just as Auschwitz was.’’

Gobrick, a convicted sex offender from New York, was arrested in 2018 after a 17-year-old Ohio girl listed as endangered/missing was found at his Grand Rapids home.

During that investigation, the child pornography was found on his computer.
Gobrick, who has a 2001 sexual abuse conviction out of New York, contends he is not sexually attracted to children.

“I would no sooner have sex with a child than you would with a rattlesnake,’’ he told the judge. “It’s just not safe.’’

 

Oh shit moment?! Imagine coming down and you know what's gonna happen Suuuuuuuuuck lmaooooo

 

He'll be alright if he just lands in a wheelie like a boss.

 

Just had to share this, even though not Florida.

Important science research going on here...

Physicists determine the optimal soap recipe for blowing gigantic bubbles
Study reveals that polymers of varying strand lengths are the key ingredient.



Everybody loves bubbles, regardless of age—the bigger the better. But to blow really big, world-record-scale bubbles requires a very precise bubble mixture. Physicists have determined that a key ingredient is mixing in polymers of varying strand lengths, according to a new paper in Physical Review Fluids. That produces a soap film able to stretch sufficiently thin to make a giant bubble without breaking.

Bubbles may seem frivolous, but there is some complex underlying physics, and hence their study has long been serious science. In the 1800s, Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau outlined four basic laws of surface tension that determine the structure of soapy films. Surface tension is why bubbles are round; that shape has the least surface area for a given volume, so it requires the least energy to maintain. Over time, that shape will start to look more like a soccer ball than a perfect sphere as gravity pulls the liquid downward ("coarsening").

Bubbles and foams remain an active area of research. For instance, in 2016, French physicists worked out a theoretical model for the exact mechanism for how soap bubbles form when jets of air hit a soapy film. They found that bubbles only formed above a certain speed, which in turn depends on the width of the jet of air. If the jet is wide, there will be a lower threshold for forming bubbles, and those bubbles will be larger than ones produced by narrower jets, which have higher speed thresholds. That's what's happening, physics-wise, when we blow bubbles through a little plastic wand: the jet forms at our lips and is wider than the soapy film suspended within the wand.

In 2018, we reported on how mathematicians at New York University's Applied Math Lab had fine-tuned the method for blowing the perfect bubble even further based on similar experiments with soapy thin films. They concluded that it's best to use a circular wand with a 1.5-inch perimeter and gently blow at a consistent 6.9cm/s. Blow at higher speeds and the bubble will burst. Use a smaller or larger wand, and the same thing will happen.

But what about blowing gigantic bubbles or long, thin soap films that can span two stories? Justin Burton, co-author of the latest paper and a physicist at Emory University specializing in fluid dynamics, first got intrigued by the topic at a conference in Barcelona. He saw street performers producing giant bubbles about the diameter of a hula hoop and as long as a car.

He was especially intrigued by the shifting rainbow of colors on the bubbles' surface. This effect is due to interference patterns created when light reflects off the two surfaces of the film. For Burton, this was also an indication that the thickness of the soap was just a few microns, roughly equivalent to the wavelength of light. He was surprised that a soap film could remain intact when stretched so thin into a giant bubble and started doing his own experiments, both in the lab and his own backyard.

While perusing the open access Soap Bubble Wiki, he noticed that most of the favored recipes for bubble solution included a polymer—usually natural guar (a common thickening food additive) or a medical lubricant (polyethylene glycol).

Using those recipes as a guide, "We basically started making bubbles and popping them, and recorded the speed and dynamics of that process," said Burton. "Focusing on a fluid at its most violent moments can tell you a lot about its underlying physics."

The ultimate goal was to determine the perfect proportions for a bubble mixture to produce gigantic bubbles: something with a bit of stretch, but not too much, where the fluid flows a little, but not too much—in other words, the Goldilocks of bubble mixtures.

Burton and his team concluded that it was the polymeric strands that were the key to producing giant bubbles, confirming the collective online wisdom. "The polymer strands become entangled, something like a hairball, forming longer strands that don't want to break apart," said Burton. "In the right combination, a polymer allows a soap film to reach a 'sweet spot' that's viscous but also stretchy—just not so stretchy that it rips apart."

The team also found that varying the length of the polymer strands resulted in a sturdier soap film. "Polymers of different sizes become even more entangled than single-sized polymers, strengthening the elasticity of the film," said Burton. "That's a fundamental physics discovery."

You can find Burton's giant bubble recipe in the sidebar. But be forewarned: there are some factors that can't be controlled in a real-world setting (as opposed to Burton's laboratory environment), like humidity levels.

 

It's not all Frolf and hacky sack I see.

 

I wonder if the driver of the white car survived?

It looks like it bullseyed the driver compartment.

They must be controlled!

A national registry of wheels and tires needs to be implemented now!
