Dan Savage on the bible at High School Journalism convention

Confucius says...

>> ^BoneRemake:

Look at all the closed minds ensuring they stay closed.
FUCK THEM INDEED.


Maybe barreling into the 'bible is retarded' was not the best way to approach the subject. And I'm guessing the majority of those who walked out weren't offended about what he was saying and just saw the opportunity to gtfo of an assembly that they had been forced to attend.

Levitation melting induction furnace

Can someone please explain what is going on here?

Electrical current is flowing through the coil of copper. Strong electromagnetic fields are formed which suspend the piece of metal, and make eddy currents flow in the piece of metal. Great power is dissipated as the current flows against the resistance of the metal, the power heats the metal. Ahh here you go:

TED Talk: Einstein the genius parrot

Confucius says...

Yea, cant have the accomplishments of a bird with a pea-sized brain seem too great.


>> ^legacy0100:

I don't know if memorization directly translates to intelligence...
The parrot remembered a lot of commands, but I doubt it actually knows what the conversation is about. At least not according to the way it's being demonstrated here at least.
Smart is when we see someone or something actively solving a problem at hand, which requires assessment of situation, planning, and execution. The parrot is in this video isn't doing much planning to solve a solution. The solution was given to it a long time ago by the trainer by saying a certain phrase, and all it does is saying those exact phrases. Which in itself is very impressive, but still I don't know if that counts as being 'smart'.

Policewoman Kills Hostage Taker Solo

Confucius says...

>> ^SDGundamX:

Yeah, I downvoted. I don't believe videos like this contribute anything of value to the Sift.
I'll leave it to other Sifters to decide whether this video runs afoul of the guidelines or not.


Oh wow. Open your mind please. Can't believe nobody has mentioned anything about the goldmine that the rest of this video is. I mean...drugged coke bottles...SHE SHOT HIM FOUR TIMES (he went down after the first!)....reckless tactics which are somehow ok....stressing the crap out of the hostage-taker....and more importantly the fact that this 'snuff' film made it onto Chinese news with descriptors like Hero...epic...awesome. Can you imagine this in the US or UK?

You cant let your mind shut down because of the possibility that its a snuff film when there is so much value in this video.

*reinforced note to self: Don't ef with the police in China.
