Guiltless self interest, sounds about right. *promote

Interesting sound ... like a metallic bongo [snaps fingers in approval]

I've made bubble hash before but this is something new to me. Looks very interesting. Sounds a bit difficult to make though.

Well that looks interesting.

Sounds like a survive the night and loot, build, tech during the day. Could be cool.

What an interesting sounding horn that car has.

I agree, wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. It seemed a little contrived.

didn't sound very good considering the interesting sounds available.
the beat and mixing just seemed off and not particualy satisfying.

He generates some really interesting sound effects from 3:20-3:25…

This went onto my iPod last week too. They've got a very interesting sound.

Interesting. Sounds like booolshieeet

Interesting sounding band. Almost theatrical in parts.

i think you are missing the whole aesthetic of glitch music,

im not i totaly apreceat geting sounds out of random things and i can see the charm in that , but thats what you are doing when you are playing with a sinth on a pc ore when you are playing a gutar ore whatever as long as you apreach annything that produces sound with an open mind set you will be able to play with it and get interesting sounds. its just a fact that u get very little controle over the way these devices produce sound so yah its fun hititng scraping things in the enviroment to get sounds from them, but its not worth the hyp these people have bult into it.

say i go around hiting things and yah some things might make a sound i like which is cool and then id be like ohh how could i improve that ore use it to maintain my intrestead and eventualy you would probably invent an instrement,

i allso like the idea of geting an unintended sound from something that was designd to do somethign else now these people make it out to be some lade da artsy thing but the fact is the music industry asa whole has done this repeatedly and its a realy comon way for artists to generate a nesh for themselfs, like the tpan efect , ore bob marly playng the gutar in a unconventoinal way.

iv watched a number of documentries and know a cuple of people that do this stuff alot and thay feal like thay have to suport it in some strange way, its like limography in photography its fun and gr8 u can spend alod of mony on random camra bits but the fact is you can achive all the afects using photoshop, and infact at least with photoshop its intentoinal so thers an eliment of skill there, yes maby u just want a random afect and thats the charm but when that random afect costs alot of time and mony than it would to produce using othe rmethods. i would say the cheapest least time consuming method of achiving the same output is the best.

( if you like something on a subjective level fine i cnt argue that but if you have a conversation with that as the assumption all discourse is irrelevant)

^ It's not $45 an hour plus benefits, it's $45/hour if you count paid vacation and benefits as salary.

Here's a graphic from the analysis the NYT did.

Note the actual wage difference is $3/hr. Also, note that in the full article, they estimate the difference in labor costs (using the all inclusive $73/hr and $59/hr figures), would amount to an $800 difference in the price of each vehicle.

Labor costs account for about 10% of the cost of each vehicle. Suppose the UAW decided to agree to become slave labor -- working the same hours for free. That amounts to a 10% discount on the sticker price of each car.

Now, go find an American-made car you like, give it a 10% discount, and go try to get a loan to buy it.

You can't? Wonder if it might have something to do with banks not making loans because predatory lending and BS derivatives sunk the credit market.

But hey, gotta be those lazy ass auto workers, or the stupid American car companies, right?

Never mind that such giants as Honda and Toyota are cutting back, too.

I'm not a fan of people getting something they didn't earn, but that's not what happened with the UAW. I'm not a fan of many of the decisions the big three made, but that's not why they're in this much trouble.

I am a fan of keeping these companies from going out of business and having to lay off millions of workers, when our economy is already in the toilet.

Democrats are demanding restructuring, and this whole "bailout" business is in the form of a loan that is expected to be paid back, with interest.

Sounds like a good investment of taxpayer money to me.

I'm calling bullshit. Where did he get these "facts?"
I was buying into it until he said "it's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open" because Adam Savage busted that myth on Mythbusters (and his eyes didn't pop out).
My guess is just a bunch of interesting sounding stuff he's heard crammed into a metacafe video to make money.


Yes and no. Many things occur when you sneeze, a lot of face muscles come into play AND there is a reflex that will close your eyelids the moment you sneeze. Called the sternutatory reflex. A lot of pressure takes place the moment you sneeze, enough to make your eyes uncomfortable so as a reflex, they close. Because imagine what a bunch of pressurized oxygen will do to the eyes which are thin layers of tissue filled with fluid if we kept them open for every sneeze we had. My guess is if this were the case they would eventually deform or fall out of place.

The error here is to say 'impossible' it is possible to fight reflexes.

But here is the thing, we are talking about a reflex, meaning that yes, mythbusters proved we can fight the reflex but the very act of mythbusters trying to prove this affects the outcome, for Adam WAS EXPECTING a sneeze. When it becomes 'impossible' is those times where the sneeze occurs suddenly. I am pretty sure there are times where you know a sneeze is coming and others where it gets you and you were not expecting it.

As for the other facts, well those are generalized averages, etc. I found most of them acceptable enough. (for an internet video)
But then again these are the sort of facts that are half informative, half 'meh'
kind of like a cow can go up the stairs but not down
