If he's my friend, I'd tell him to pick up the beer on the way over. Let him deal with it.
You start with 100 bottles of beer on the wall...
What happens if one were to fall...
Well then someones got some cleaning to do.
if he likes shit beer, get a 12 pack, good beer, 6 pack
Five Hundred Cigarettes
And a lighter.
We must have more!
27? 30. 37? 2.
37! my girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!
Instructions unclear, your girlfriend now has (37! - 37) dicks remaining to suck.
yknow i told this joke on reddit like 10 years ago and i got like 20 comments related to math
Amazing, did you beat her? Did you win?
In a row?!
I just don't feel like a real man if I don't have my 125 daily lagers. I would surmise astronauts are the same. Maybe that's why nothing gets done up there,... they're being rationed !
You'd think that but due to reduced gravity in LOE it takes more beer to feel like a man. You can calculate the number of beers required by taking the number of beers at sea level times the distance from sea level in kilometers.
Good ~~chuckle~~ chugle
NASA once asked astronaut Sally Ride if 100 tampons would be enough for her week-long mission in space, but she later clarified that this number was excessive. While the engineers were concerned about potential needs, Ride humorously noted that a much smaller amount would suffice.
Tbh, this is not quite as dumb as it sounds. Tampons weigh nothing and if there's no way to resupply, it's not quite as dumb to take more than you need. What if, for example, there's a series defect on these things and a large portion of them are defective?
In fact, when they asked her said it's excessive, to which they told her they wanted to be on the safe side, so she said to cut it in half and bring 50pcs (which is still excessive for most periods, but on the safe side).
In fact, in the same mission they also brought jelly beans, which were entirely irrelevant to the mission, because Reagan insisted on his favourite snack to go to orbit. They were likely heavier than 100 tampons and also much less necessary up there.
I get the impression they were also preparing for a potential freak discovery where it turns out zero G has an extreme effect on the menstrual cycle, and they suddenly need a lot of them.
If you have a sample size of 0 and a backup plan of "crash and burn", it does make sense to be extra careful with the preparation.
I prefer my backup plans to include "halt and catch fire"
"halt" might be difficult in orbit.
This implies that catching fire is easy while in orbit with minimal, if any, atmosphere.
Interesting take.
It's not that hard. You just have to lose a little bit of speed, enough for re-entry, and there's your fire.
On NASA defence is not the first time that due problems with vehicles an astronaut have to stay up there for much much much longer than their planed stance.
At the end I think the astronaut said that 50 would be enough. So the NASA estimate wasn't really that far off. As it's totally normal for a woman to use half or double the tampons than other woman during period.
But it is a funny story indeed.
One of my favorite things about Lemmy ~ Star Trek references can occur anywhere, at any given moment.
I have a personal metric system for rating social networking platforms based on the percentage of Trekkies/Trekkers.
But have you searched for "communities containing tenforward" yet? :)
..I contribute content to them whilst drinking saurian brandy!
I didn't know this was a thing. tyvm.
