State Zero : Part 1

Retroboy says...

This has the potential to be the next District 9.

There's a few mildly jarring moments, but I could quite easily stick around to see what happens next.

The falling hazard might trump the noise (11,000 marbles)

Homeless Guy Knowledge

Retroboy says...

Best thumbnail ever. Guy absolutely looks like a cynical world-weary font of knowledge, kinda like a disillusioned House without a house.

Very articulate, and a victim of a single wrong-place-wrong-time mistake. I wonder what he would have been like now without that one world-changing drug charge.

And I wonder how many others in 'murica are like him.

New Method For Making Wood Corners For Drawers Or Boxes

Retroboy says...

This is sex for woodworkers, except you don't feel like a nap afterward.

The guy could give classes in how to make a video. Very well presented, excellent pacing and use of fast motion for the slower parts.

Epic Win Compilation

Retroboy says...

Have to agree. Those ones are kinda "epic fails" from a Darwin Lottery and human gene pool perspective.

While some of these are definitely win, a lot of them are the reason health and safety standards exist.

Agree, you can clearly see their ceramic wire insulators at 1:45.

As to what caused it, looks like melt water caused lubrication between an extended slanted field of topsoil and a clay base. I live near a beach with a eighty-foot cliff that's quite similar, and in the earliest spring, large chunks of it slide down along that wet clay to pool at the bottom. In this case, the hills are so distant that the pressure became huge enough to completely bulldoze everything in front of it.

I dub it a "slowvalanche".

While I don't doubt the hills have been mined or deforested, the structures you see I believe are high voltage trunk line supports, not cranes and drag lines.
