Segway - Why It Failed

cloudballoon says...

It "failed" because it was marketed in the most American way possible. Hyped up by "revolutionaies" as if it's the Next Best Thing after the invention of round wheels and with claims that the driver can't fall over, etc., it can't but destined to fail.

You’re always so worried about federal money being wasted….do you have a clue how much Judge Cannon’s illicit “defense” of Trump from the bench as a political delaying tactic cost America?
It was never a defense, nor was it legal. It was blatant political nonsense always destined to fall apart, as it has.
It certainly cost at least tens of millions. For nothing but political theater and a delay in prosecution.
I would bet you a million dollars that doesn’t bother you one whit nor change your opinion of Trump….if you hadn’t already welched on bets before.

I also bet Trump getting caught with MORE STOLEN CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS last week after swearing he didn’t have any repeatedly…and evidence he ordered them hidden during pre-announced searches (contrary to his lies that the feds broke in unannounced, they actually set up an appointment, giving multiple hours notice before showing up) makes no difference to you. Another nothing burger. You are so delusional you don’t even see you chose Trump over America, truth, law, order, democracy, or the constitution. He is 100% against all that.

NASA DART spacecraft moment of impact

NASA’s DART spacecraft is destined for a head-on collision with an asteroid in the very first test of our planetary defence system.

Thank you 81 million, thank you!

Ok, I’ve proven with video that the commie/Russian flags were repeatedly flown at RNC and Trump rallies…which shut you up about that...now let’s take on the “energy independence “ lie.

2017 we imported about 10150 million barrels of oil per day.
2018 around 9950 million barrels per day
2019 around 9150 million barrels per day
2020 (pandemic shutdown all travel and most business) we still imported just over million 7850 barrels per day….and let’s not forget he intentionally nearly doubled how much we bought from Russia in his tenure up to the highest levels ever in 2020.
Our dependence shrank slightly under Trump, and that’s good, but never were we independent, that’s a bold faced lie.

2021 with the economy in excellent shape and growing at least 3 times faster than ever under Trump we are back to just UNDER 8500 million per day….better than any non pandemic Trump year.

So…when exactly do you think we were energy/oil independent under Trump? Because it never happened, he just said it….he says a lot of stuff, most is utter bullshit.

I’ll give you a while to let that sink in. I won’t confuse you by debunking more than one lie at a time. Deal?

P.S. let me throw you a bone and remind you that the Keystone pipeline wouldn’t be finished today even if there had been no cancelation…..and that oil was destined for overseas markets in the first place unless the oil industry was nationalized.

Poimo is an inflatable electric scooter that

cloudballoon says...

Waiting for the spec that says it akes 10 minutes to inflate, battery life last 10 mins and 10 more mins to deflate and pack up. All for going 5 miles per hour - maybe.

Might be better to just run for 30 mins and arrive faster to the destination, and not be saddled with a useless backpack.

I'll wait for ver 3.0 before I'm on board.

The Big Misconception About Electricity

vil says...

Nah I dont see a bait and switch. I see people thinking electricity goes down wires while the underlying real world is fields propagating through space.

It really is a difference if you have the lightbulb 1 meter away or 1 light second away. We have a tendency to think abstractly of these situations, freely giving things ideal properties that they dont have and taking away the properties we dont like to use in our petty examples.

If you had enough voltage to overcome the drop in "ideal" 1 light second long cables they sure as hell would induce enough current in parallel cables 1 m away to light a bulb :-)

All that said people do under-appreciate how fast the speed of light is, just as they under appreciate how much a billion of anything, especially money, is.

The speed of light is getting to your destination instantly from your own point of view.

Turning Red | Official Trailer

cloudballoon says...

My local TV news was all talking about this trailer as Toronto is prominently featured as the background location in the movie. It's refreshing to see a Hollywood/Disney movie featured places outside of the USA and most other cliche tourist destinations like London/Paris/Rome/Hong Kong/Toyko, etc...

What Are You Doing With Your Life? The Tail End

newtboy jokingly says...

Weltschmerz can be negated by the simple realisation that you are not a special and unique snowflake destined for living rapture as God's replacement, you are just a part of the compost heap that is humanity, slowly decaying without a meaningful purpose....just like everyone else.

I don't often say this, but fuck this video.

If you're 25, the end of your life is an abstraction and the whole "there's time to change things!" is a nice balm. When you're 55, your death isn't an abstraction, it's a fact of life that dominates more and more of what remaining time you have left. The awareness of impending mortality is insidious once you're passed 50. It creeps into every part of your life and every decision you make.

Let me teach you one of those amazing words the Germans come up with for describing various forms of existential agony: weltschmerz. Loosely, this is a form of sadness when one realizes what is versus what could have been. This is the compound interest of regrets and choices not made, or made poorly. Not only does weltschmerz grow with each year, its very presence amplifies itself because the more you know what could have been, the more you see what the cost of that absence is. Then, if that's not evil enough, that knowledge focuses the mind on the time remaining and how little you can do to negate the harm done, which then re-amplifies the weltschmerz.

You can slap whatever Hallmark bullshit you need on this to get through the day, but weltscmerz never goes away. It's always there. It's there at 3:00am when you wake up in a silent house and look at everything around you as consolation prizes for races not won. It's there when you see your friends succeeding in a million different ways that you didn't. It's there when you look at 6 million lines of text you wrote and realize you're not going to be Hemingway after all.

So fuck this video. I don't need a cutesy animated memento mori, I've already got a wall clock in my death row cell.

Here endth the rant.

(Nick Drake nailed weltschmerz perfectly in "When The Day Is Done". Here's the video to that song:

Big Red - 1964

StukaFox says...

But . . . but . . . I'm not afraid of being buried alive in a box! I'm somewhat scared of being buried dead in a box, but not so much the destination as the process of arriving at that locale.
