So I’m re-watching FMA:B and it’s enragingly good because they just went HAM on the foreshadowing, so I’m seeing news stuff this time around like the fact that every time Roy talks about his intent to become the fuhrer and later, his intent to avenge Hughes, he either closes or covers his eyes :)
i first saw FMA:b in goddanm 2009 and here is is a whloe-ass decade later and I am just now realizing that this is a pun on BLIND AMBITION.
Modern elevators will not fall unless they are extensively sabotaged.
In 1857,
Elisha Otis, of the Otis Elevator Company introduced the Otis Elevator Brake, now a standard component of all elevators. He advertised it by getting in an elevator, riding it to the top, and then ordering that the cable supporting the elevator be cut.
When the elevator is held up by the tension in the cable above, that same tension holds the braking mechanism in a position where it doesn’t touch anything. But if the tension goes away, a spring is released which causes the prongs of the elevator break to thrust outward, locking into a row of teeth running down the side of the elevator shaft and making the elevator completely immobile until repaired.
You can be trapped in an elevator, but you cannot fall in an elevator.
This is actually really comforting thank you
as someone who has a gets very very bad anxiety because im terrified of elevators falling this information is a huge huge relief.
Video killed the radio star. Internet kills television. Internet creates the podcast. The internet killed video and brought the radio star back to life.
the bronies really made a subfandom about a massive organ harvesting operation in which horses are killed for their rainbow juice and we as a society just let that happen
The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.
You, ah, don’t think it’s unfair to judge people’s morals based on their finances?
I, ah, think that it’s perfectly fair to judge people’s morals based on the amount of money they pour into neo-nazi political movements, yeah actually.
