Thankfully, despite the truck’s cab getting utterly demolished, its driver had the sense to abandon it before the inevitable.

And, no, the engineer can’t just stop before it hits the truck because (at that speed and at that much mass) it takes a mile or two for it to stop properly. Unless the truck’s been there for a while, and someone gives the engineer enough notice, it’s going to end up turning into confetti.

This bit of a train

is known colloquially as a 'cow catcher'. I've always felt that 'cow exploder' would be more accurate.

Today I learned shading and rendering in Clip Studio Paint. I also watched a documentary on prehistoric sea monsters.

Until a few minutes ago, it would never have occurred to me to say “I want to see Idina Menzel give a footjob to a giant sequoia.” Now I do.

Quote:In psychology circles, “flying monkeys” is a term often used to describe people who carry out the work of a narcissist or abuser. The narcissist/abuser controls the monkeys by providing something they need emotionally or physically — love-bombing them to secure their fealty. The monkeys aren’t inherently evil, just under the Wicked Witch’s control.

I’ve eaten pork brains. The taste is ok, but they tend to go through me like turpentine through a constipated sheep.
