A rather harrowing tale of sanitation workers being knocked out by the fumes from the sewer they were cleaning, and dying as a result, only made absurd by the name of the village this happened in; Fartikui

The absurdity is that usually a hose is used as a makeshift breathing device, where you inhale from the hose by mouth (with lots of plastic particles unless from more expensive rubber) and exhale through the nose. Anyway, methane is heavy and will displace oxigen. Hypoxia sets in, but due to the nauseating fumes you do not notice. The other saveguard is a rope, around one's middle (for example, the rings in your jeans), will allow to pull you up. Also consider diving goggles so that no bacteria get into your eyes. And already a bucket with water, and special slippers you can put on to walk towards the nearest place you can clean yourself up. Killed by ignorance. RIP.

Drinking that brand of beer makes you gay... look at that kissy he blew your way...
ICP2 is much better I say. What ever you do, don't go to L.A.
With those guys you don't want to play. Is this all normal, I say nay.
Lite beer is bad, m'kay? And so, here in this thread it should stay.
It doesn't come with it's own stand anyway.

This Thermomix clone? It runs Doom. 
By the way, this Thermomix-Clone also comes with horrible security issues too.

Hah, in that image quoted trademark point 18 it states the trademark is registered for 'Clothing-Namely, T-shirts, Jerseys, Swear-shirts, Hats, Jackets and Leather Wrist Bands'. Are Iron Maiden considering this video game to be a special type of hat maybe?

The fun thing about that tweet from Elon is that red planetoid at the end there is not mars, but actually the moon during the eclipse. But then as Mr Trump told us the Moon is part of Mars so no biggie there.

While Trump is an idiot, I'd like to point out that that's a mistranslation of the words he said: you need to understand that he doesn't speak English very well, so sometimes what he types and what is intended are two different things, a bit of translation is required. He didn't actually mean to suggest that the moon was part of Mars.
No, what he actually meant to suggest was far more stupid.
See, confusing the moon with one of Mars' satellites is simple ignorance: it's not inconceivable that anyone could've made the same mistake, even a well learned person on a particularly sleepy morning might make a pre-covfefe mistake.
What Trump was trying to say, or what he claims he meant, was that we shouldn't be trying to get back to the moon, we should be going to Mars. The part about the moon being part of Mars is that the moon is a stepping point in order to get to Mars: set up a permanent base on the moon and it's easier to launch long journeys from there.
So to recap: we should not be going to the moon as a stepping stone to get to Mars. Instead we should be going to the moon as a stepping stone to get to Mars.
