New GIF Thread

Because Jim's connection is too slow...

It works.

Of course it works...

... until the wheels come off.

There must be something I am missing.
The new GIf of the wheel coming off took about 60 to 70 seconds to download both yesterday and today.
That is for about 3 to 4 seconds.
I tried it on Chrome and got it in about 40 seconds.
I tried some random GIFs from Google (drag mishaps just for fun) and got them in about 1 second of download for 1 second of GIF.
This seems about the same as the "old" method.
Last time I checked I was around 3mbps download.

This is not a big deal, but does tweak my curiosity.

I also learned (I think) that I should be saying jif, not gif.

No.

Jif is peanut butter.

Graphic image file.

Not Jraffic.

That's gust great Gim.

So, that's that.

And tomorrow there will be a test on all the concepts covered here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF

I use the Tex-Mex pronunciation incorporating a Spanish "g", which sounds like "h" (e.g. Gila monster sounds like HEE-lə monster); so, "gif" is said as "hif".

I prefer Skippy to Jif.

No, I'm not going to texmex or listen to the nerd that wrote it.
We the people say hard G from graphic the way god intended.


Fake it till you make it...

So, you prefer Skippy to Jif too.

No I prefer JIF, but that has nothing to do with GIF.

Really!

The creators of the format pronounced the word as "jif" with a soft "G" /dʒɪf/ as in "gym". Steve Wilhite says that the intended pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand Jif, and CompuServe employees would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.

:D

Do you really think Americans give a rats ass how Louis Chevrolet pronounced his name?

Thank you for your question twtwtwBruce. If this is a psychiatric emergency, please dial 911.

Big Gulp...

Whale shark?

That would be my guess.

He got a lot of air with that gulp. Dude is gonna need to burp.

Whale shark burp.

Sea scent fresh.

Bleurgh.

This is a lie, CGI magic. The tire was not on fire and did not rip off her arm throwing it on the blue cover.
That tire did however break her wrist, but could have been much worse.

Lot of work, over a thousand drawings...

Yee Haw, ride it out...

Dance of 1,000 hands...

Seal the deal...

The Marquess of Queensberry would be appalled...

Ha!

Waited for five minutes for the GIF under "Ha!" to open.

Got the eye on you.

Lawyers, guns, and money...

I wonder if the addiction rate is the same as the use rate?

Also worth noting that they're comparing a rate to a hard number, which always makes for bad data. The population has increased significantly from 1970 to 2010, so even though the addiction percentage has stayed roughly the same, the resulting number of addicted people will have been growing each year.

The chart would have to be # of addicts vs. dollars spent, or else percentage of the population who are addicted vs. percentage of the annual budget (or whatever) that is spent on fighting drugs.

A big hunk of that money had nothing to do with drugs. Here, have a tank for your PD to fight the war on drugs. We need a kennel for the sniffer dog, he keeps snorting our coke.

So no uptick for heroin and over the counter painkillers or would that be more recent? Maybe this chart is why we needed oxycodone?

They had me on 10 mg oxycodone every three hours for 11 days.

I was not impressed.

Moving to stronger drugs you're still a single point in the data.

I used to go with a girl taking 80mg of Oxy a day. She had to call the drugstore a day ahead so they could get it, as they refused to have it in the store overnight. They had to sell her two 40mg and not allowed to substitute four 20mg or eight 10 mg. She had to pick it up herself with a photo ID, even if she called and said she wanted to send someone else.
Lots of hoops to get it legally, but of course tons going out the back door of Big Pharma. They had to move it to make room for the cash.

WalMart pharmacy wouldn't fill my (oxycodone) prescription as it was written. They wanted to throw the doctor's intentions for my treatment out the window and use their own dosing/timing.

They're not my pharmacy anymore. Another pharmacy, when asked if they were going to do the same thing, looked at me and asked 'Why would we do such a thing? We can't just disregard doctor's orders.'

That one is my pharmacy now.

Sort of a riff on the oxy thread was a doctor I had who prescribed two antibiotics for me with the demand that I take as she said and disregard the labeling and anything the pharmacist might add.
They made me sick as hell and she was gone for the week.
That one is not my doctor now.

Upside down body, 2 rears with 2 electric motors to spin the wheels on the top.
4 cyl chevy drive motor, 2 seats and smoked glass in the back door to see .
Only drives it to and for parades and fairs, and claims it's street legal but that's bullshit.
Red lights on the front and no red lights on the back, man that's not legal anywhere.

I got an mp-4 but can't post it so changed it to a GIF. But that GIF was 25 Mb so had to cut it down.
You're seeing at most about half the width and 20% of the length of this seething mound of scorpions...

Bugle sounding Charge!

Anybody else here read Bernard Cornwell?

yep

That's an old trick.

Invisible Man...

Don't tell these guys they don't know squat, they definitely know squat...

Invisible man is pretty cool.

That other clip is--uh--it's--yeah. What?

I don't think the rear wheels that are sticking out are driving the car. I think there are drive wheels, vertical, inside the wheelwells. Just a guess.

I'd guess it's front wheel drive to pull off that idiocy.

It's God, she walks on water...

The difference between 10, 20, 30, and 60 frames per second...
