This is some dashcam footage from an Arizona State Trooper’s vehicle of a successful stop of a road-raging woman (who was repeatedly ramming another driver with her SUV) using the car’s grappler bumper. I also included another video of what a grappler bumper is and how it works if you’re unfamiliar (imaging roping a car’s rear wheel like a cowboy roping a wild horse). Me? I already know firsthand what one is, but only because those cops had to learn the hard way that nothing stops a monster truck driven by a man who’s administered himself a Red Bull IV. “You don’t have a monster truck.” Pfft *squeezes Red Bull can dangling from rearview, feathers begin to form on upper back* believe what you want.

Keep going for the video while I wonder what the hell provoked this woman to road-rage so fully with all her soul.

BMW, clearly recognizing the days of ground-based transportation are numbered and soon everyone is going to be zipping around wearing jetpacks, crashing into power lines and the sides of buildings, has released this video of its electric-powered wingsuit. The suit, which features twin impellers spinning at 25,000RPM mounted to a flyer’s chest, can achieve horizontal speeds up to 300km/h (~186MPH). For reference, unpowered wingsuits can only hit around 100km/h (62MPH) horizontally. That’s three times the horizontal speed! Unfortunately, with pack’s current battery life, the unit is only able to create thrust for five minutes. Five minutes *spit-takes* that’s pathetic! Even at 186 miles per hour that’s only *crunching the numbers* not very far. “15.5 miles.” I’d run out of fuel and crash before I even made it to my favorite taco stand!

Keep going for the suit in action, with the real juicy stuff starting after 0:40.

Thanks to my dad, who agrees the future definitely should have been here by now.

Looking for the perfect dice for your next dinosaur themed tabletop role playing game? Well you’re in luck (provided you have a dinosaur themed tabletop role playing game), because die caster Enrica Martiné is releasing a set of Jurassic Park mosquito in amber inspired dice via Kickstarter. The dice are available individually (£10, ~$13) or as a set (£39, ~$51), and with the numbers inked (in a choice of 3 different colors — see second picture below) or uninked, and each includes a 3-D printed plastic mosquito inside. Plus for £100 (~$131) you can add on a chunky 2-inch D20 that’s sure to dent any wooden table you roll it on. Man…I still remember the first time I accidentally dented a nice wooden coffee table rolling a giant D20. I thought my mom was going to FLIP. Then I realized I was at a friend’s house and proceeded to drink all his beer, puke on the sofa and flood his toilet. All in all I’d say a solid game night.

Keep going for more shots, plus the Breaking Bad and IT inspired dice also being released.

Thanks to MSA, who agrees now somebody needs to make dice that look like dirt with little dinosaur skeletons inside.

This is a video from MSNBC of host Craig Melvin preparing to cut to national security correspondent Ken Dilanian to discuss the presidential transition of power when Ken accidentally hangs up on the news control room, dropping a delightful “oh $#it” and “f**k”, unaware that his mic is still hot. He immediately took to Twitter after the incident to apologize, although I don’t know who on earth he would be apologizing to since children don’t watch MSNBC and every single adult has been there, some of us still with the broken computer monitor and hole in our office wall to prove it.

This just happened on @craigmelvin @MSNBC and it is perfect in every way…🤣🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/U4cTm5qlj4

Because the human body is a magnificent machine (except mine — mine appears to have been slapped together with the parts left over from Frankenstein’s monster), this is a video of world champion 110-meter hurdler Grant Holloway doing his thing with his head stabilized in the video. Some more info while I try to loosen the bolt in my neck using the wrong size socket and end up stripping the whole thing and not being able to turn my head until I take a trip to the mechanic:

Most impressive. You know I actually tried out to run the hurdles my sophomore year of high school and I tripped over like the third one and went down like a sack of potatoes that was about to scrape his knees and cry and I could hear the girl I had a crush on laughing and I ran all the way home and have remained here ever since.

This is a visualization created by MetaBallStudios (previously) of the size of various cities around the globe as measured by total urban area and not just “city proper (administrative) or metropolitan area.” There are some big-ass cities in the world! Honestly, I had a hard time even fathoming the size of any of them, partly because my brain doesn’t work in square kilometers. Or square miles. Or square meters or feet. My brain doesn’t work is what I’m trying to say. “You can say that again.” My girlfriend, ladies and gentlemen! She’s mad I mismeasured the bathtub for a new curtain rod and we’ve had to shower without a curtain for a few days. And, okay, that I ripped the old one down in the first place trying to do a pull-up.
