What follows is a guide on how to hurt your hand. No not do it. Do not “do it just a little bit”. I actually strained my hand when I first discoverd this and honestly dont want anyone hurt because of my comment:
dont do this
If you wrap your fingers around your thumb (like a closed fist with your thumb on the inside and pull the thumb down you can hurt your hand.
HD-DVD and Blu-ray weren’t the only HD video disc formats competing for dominance in the '00s. HD VMD which was basically a DVD containing more layers unsuccessfully tried to compete with the two. The company who produced it dissolved in 2008 and only a few titles were ever released on the format.
There was actually a tape format called VCR. Made by Phillips, I believe it was the first video tape system that recorded a high quality signal in color available to consumers. It was test marketed in the PAL regions, proving to have reliability issues, and then JVC launched VHS later that year and Phillips gave up.

I don’t think anything you just said is correct.
I cannot find anything about a tape format called “LP-2000” that came out in 1970.
Phillips released the VCR format in 1972, and a successor Video 2000 in 1979. Most people on earth have not heard of these, because they weren’t nearly as successful as Sony’s Betamax format which lost the format war to…
VHS. Made by JVC, Japan Victor Corporation, at the time owned by Matsushita…and/or Panasonic? Not Phillips.
The first VHS deck was released by JVC under the Victor brand name in 1976, three years before Video 2000. If VHS is a successor to anything, it’s U-Matic.
it’s so easy to break into an apartment in south korea, any basement dweller can do this.
the reason you fart and shit at the same time is because shit and air is coming out of your ass
Fish mate inside of a sea cucumber’s anus.
Not that obscure, but most orange cats are male since the orange gene is tied to the x-chromosom, so male cats only need one copy to appear orange. Female cats have to have the orange gene on both x-chromosom to be fully orange.
And usually only female cats can be calico/tortoise since the orange gene is co-dominant, so if they only have one copy of the orange gene both the orange and black will be visible.
A seemingly male calico/tortoise cat is usually intersex and sterile.
A large amount of visual inspections on the inside of nuclear reactors is done literally with a camera duct taped to either a really really long pole assembled in sections or a rope. Operators “swim” the cameras to various locations and camera handling is basically an occupation in that field. You also need camera shots for any work being done on the inside of the flooded reactor with, again, really really long poles that end up acting more like pool noodles at such a length. It is silly and difficult work. Also you basically are wearing a trash bag sitting above a hot tub while doing this work. So it is a wild experience.
A lot of people know of the April Fools 418 I’m a Teapot error code, but did you know there’s a full Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol from the same RFC for running a coffee pot server? It even includes an HTCPCP method named “WHEN” to let the pot know it has poured enough cream.
Chinese scientists worked to create the “humanzee,” a human-chimpanzee hybrid in the '60s. Female chimpanzees were impregnated with human sperm. The experiment was cut short by the Cultural Revolution - the scientists were sent to labor camps and a three-months pregnant chimpanzee died of neglect. The Soviets attempted a similar program in the '20s.
This sounds like a bunch of b***shit so I had to look it up. Seems like you’re actually right… 😳
Seriously find a source. a three month pregnant chimpanzee, pregnant with a humanzee, died of neglect? Sure, Humanzee experiments were attempted but because of how biology works, two species as different as a chimpanzee and a human cannot make children.
Peking (KNT) -Chinese at one time experimented with fertilizing a chimpanzee with human sperm in an attempt to create a “near -human ape,” and they may try it again. The chimp was three months pregnant before the first experiment was halted, one of the original researchers claims. Western science long has scoffed at such an experiment as medically impossible, but Dr. Ji Yongxiang says the research, if it ever resumes, has the potential to develop creatures with higher animal intelligence who could speak and perform simple tasks. A second researcher at the Chinese Academy of Science said there were plans to resume testing.
It is scientifically impossible for species as different as chimpanzees and humans to mate.

2” x 4” construction timber is 1.5” x 3.5” because of industrialisation (not shrinkflation)
Much as a 12oz steak won’t weigh exactly twelve ounces when served to you after cooking them a 2x4 piece of wood was nominally that measurement prior to the kiln drying process.
It’s more that they used to be shipped 2x4 unfinished, and would be planed smooth on site. Once the equipment and distribution was able to do the planing before it got to the customer, they had so much established practice that the installed timber would be smaller, they had to keep to what people were used to.
Because of universe expansion. (I guess industrialisation also works)
xkcd?
Eric Blair was a Trotskyist who wrote
Animal Farm and 1984 to spite Stalin,
as Stalin turned on Trotsky,
as Trotsky was a one-world-government proponent,
(with Moscow as its capital),
with the argument that capitalist nations would do anything
to isolate and destroy socialist nations,
whereas Stalin thought that socialism would bring the
Soviet Union enough success to defend itself.
This had far-reaching consequences for
Eric Blair who was participating in the
Spanish civil war of 1936 to 1939,
having joined the Trotskyist resistance group
and saw the Stalinists resistance group turn on them
and outright attacked them.You should read Grover Furr’s book on Trotskty’s collaboration with the Nazis.

The Latin meaning of the color ultramarine is “over the sea” Also, they once made a pigment called mummy, which was literally made out of finely grinded mummy.
in the same vein, cerulean (blue) comes from caelum, the sky
