    Didn’t notice it was a woman at first, but isn’t it an appeal to authority? The fact that someone is an astronaut doesn’t mean they can’t also be a dumb fuck. Just look at Russians - Oleg Artemyev, Tereshkova, Rogozin. I’m not familiar with NASA astronauts but surely some of them were also complete idiots as well?

    Guess they’re not manly enough to just snip whatever wire is going to it.

    On an tangentially related note, one thing that Georgia (the country) has taught me is to always check buckle first before pulling the belt when riding an Uber or any local taxi. Used to pull belt instinctively right away, but in there, too often have I found that, while the belt is still present, the buckle has been completely removed and the driver being visibly annoyed seeing me fumbling trying to find it. I didn’t fuss about it, though, the city traffic was so slow I didn’t feel unsafe without one, the road police was non-existent(=no fines), and it’s not really my business as a tourist to tell locals how to drive.

    Feynman’s way overrated, though. Sure, he was a smart enough guy to land a job on Manhattan project and university prof afterwards, but the only reason people know him are the books written by batshit crazy groupies (he didn’t write any) and based on his elderly ramblings, so none of the stories in those are even remotely true.






  • You’re giving too much credit to bears. They can chomp your face just because they feelt like it, or out of pure curiosity, and won’t even notice you struggling to fight them off. Check some stories of zookepers and circus workers killed by them, you’ll find that wild animals are completely unpredictable.
