This is really a thing. At my work (in a factory) there are giant ultra-quick roll up doors for the forklifts. To activate them, you have to be moving and like a forklift. If you walk up to the door you’ll totally hit. But give it a brisk walk or run, and it flies open.

Tom, When you are riding a motorbike in the rain, you don't actually need a wiper. The shape of the visor means the air pushes the rain off the sides. If it's not running off fast enough, then you just need to turn your head a fraction of a degree to change the airflow pattern. When you are driving slow, most riders have their visor up. Also you can buy wet weather gloves with a patch of fabric on the back of the thumb, you can use as a wiper. Some manufacturers have even made gloves with an actual mini rubber wiper blade / squeegee on the back of the thumb.
ASMR roulette is a real thing when watching ASMR playlist on TH-cam without AdBlock. TH-cam is great for adding a really loud ad in amongst a nice relaxing playlist.
î have a better idea for an uphill zipline. build a downhill zipline at 20° tilt objects in the background, as well as the camera by 40° film yourself going down the zipline
As a biker I can attest the thumb squeegee on my gloves is great, in the rain and snow. Especially that light drizzle that doesn't bead up and roll off properly.

Doughnut roulette: that's actually a German tradition for a specific holiday. You buy as many doughnuts with jam as people minus 1 and then 1 with mustard in it. The one who ends up eating the mustard one is supposed to have extra luck for the whole season.

Tony: We'll run away, start a new life together. Maria: I don't want to leave my family. Tony: I know, but we have to do something. (They kiss as the sound of approaching footsteps interrupts them.) Bernardo: Maria, what are you doing up here? Come down immediately. Maria: Bernardo, please, can't you see we're in love? Bernardo: Love? This is not love. This is betrayal. (Tony and Bernardo face each other with their baseball bats.) Act 1, Scene 3 (The Jets and Sharks meet at the baseball field for a showdown.) Tony: Bernardo, this has to stop. We can't keep fighting like this. Bernardo: It's too late for that, Tony. This is a matter of honor. (The gangs circle each other, bats at the ready.) Riff (Tony's second-in-command): Let's settle this once and for all. (The Jets and Sharks charge at each other, swinging their bats.) Act 2, Scene 1 (Tony and Maria meet in a dark alley.) Tony: Maria, we have to leave tonight. We can't stay here any longer. Maria: I'm afraid, Tony. What if something happens to us? Tony: Nothing will happen to us, I promise. We'll start a new life together, far away from here. (As they embrace, they hear a gunshot.) Act 2, Scene 2 (Tony lies on the ground, fatally wounded.) Maria: No, Tony! Why did this have to happen? Bernardo: Maria, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. Maria: You did this, Bernardo. You and your gang. (As the Jets and Sharks converge on the scene, Maria picks up Tony's baseball bat.) Maria: This is enough. No more fighting. No more hatred. (She tosses the bat away and kneels next to Tony, weeping.) Curtain falls.

Tom, When you are riding a motorbike in the rain, you don't actually need a wiper. The shape of the visor means the air pushes the rain off the sides. If it's not running off fast enough, then you just need to turn your head a fraction of a degree to change the airflow pattern. When you are driving slow, most riders have their visor up.
Also you can buy wet weather gloves with a patch of fabric on the back of the thumb, you can use as a wiper. Some manufacturers have even made gloves with an actual mini rubber wiper blade / squeegee on the back of the thumb.

(Tony and Maria meet secretly on a rooftop.)
Tony: Maria, we have to find a way to be together.
Maria: But how? Our families will never allow it.
Tony: We'll run away, start a new life together.
Maria: I don't want to leave my family.
Tony: I know, but we have to do something.
(They kiss as the sound of approaching footsteps interrupts them.)
Bernardo: Maria, what are you doing up here? Come down immediately.
Maria: Bernardo, please, can't you see we're in love?
Bernardo: Love? This is not love. This is betrayal.
(Tony and Bernardo face each other with their baseball bats.)
Act 1, Scene 3
(The Jets and Sharks meet at the baseball field for a showdown.)
Tony: Bernardo, this has to stop. We can't keep fighting like this.
Bernardo: It's too late for that, Tony. This is a matter of honor.
(The gangs circle each other, bats at the ready.)
Riff (Tony's second-in-command): Let's settle this once and for all.
(The Jets and Sharks charge at each other, swinging their bats.)
Act 2, Scene 1
(Tony and Maria meet in a dark alley.)
Tony: Maria, we have to leave tonight. We can't stay here any longer.
Maria: I'm afraid, Tony. What if something happens to us?
Tony: Nothing will happen to us, I promise. We'll start a new life together, far away from here.
(As they embrace, they hear a gunshot.)
Act 2, Scene 2
(Tony lies on the ground, fatally wounded.)
Maria: No, Tony! Why did this have to happen?
Bernardo: Maria, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen.
Maria: You did this, Bernardo. You and your gang.
(As the Jets and Sharks converge on the scene, Maria picks up Tony's baseball bat.)
Maria: This is enough. No more fighting. No more hatred.
(She tosses the bat away and kneels next to Tony, weeping.)
Curtain falls.
I hate this. You can't imagine the severity of the mental itch from curiosity. Why say you're skipping the good stuff?! Oh god I need it. Give me please :(
11:30 Im starting to think Jeff Bezos was watching this video and took this idea from Tom
"how far can you push a buddhist?"
Depends on if they're in a wheelchair
"Next time I'll filter these ideas beforehand."
Proceeds to not do that.
