So few comments...this truly shows the death of CDs...if ISS people are duct-taping players together to hold a flashlight...the usefulness of the CD itself is gone.

duct tape!

Well, it's cheaper than buying duct tape all the time.

Congratulations. You've managed to capture the entire diversity of the US by visiting several times and not get shot or had a gun pointed at you. This is like forming an opinion about whether sharks will bite humans after you've laid on the beach once or twice and have never been bitten. Searching for some relevance here... and ... nope, none.

Agreed, if your gun is in a traditional safe, it's not much good when the burglars or home invasion psychos kick in your front door at 2 a.m. Jim Jeffries is indeed a funny guy, but like many who don't understand what "for protection" means to some homeowners here in the US, you might want to cite a bit more credible source or at least educate yourself.

Thanks to biometric safes and locking devices, it is quite easy to have a secured gun in a safe at arms reach, accessible to only one person, that can be unsecured, ready to fire in about 4 seconds. I know this to be true, because I have such a setup, and we practice what to do when the home alarm goes off just like we practice fire drills.

The distressing part is I absolutely hate having to be in such a situation. I'm no cowboy and this isn't the wild west, but when families around me are having their doors kicked in in the middle of the night by armed thugs, or having one or two fuckheads follow them up the driveway for an easy push-in robbery accompanied by beatings, shootings, molestation and sometimes killing, I decided that there would be no way I could live with myself if something tragic ever happened to my family at the hands of these nut jobs, knowing I might have been able to do something to stop it. And no, one can't relay on the local police to take care of these crimes. Around here, even with a top notch alarm system in the house that goes directly to dispatch, the cops usually arrive to clean up the blood and take statements, and almost never in time to stop the crime or catch the criminals.

Do you have house, car, fire or life insurance? Sure, but you hope you'll never have to use it. So, what's so unbelievable about a gun for protection? What do you suggest? You appear to think it's silly to state it's for protection... so does one simply relying on hope, faith or good luck in never having to witness your wife or child being duct taped to a chair while criminals rummage through your house, or having their head kicked in or bloodied on the end of a baseball bat?

Just a suggestions, but try to spend some time as an actual resident in a country before you pretend to understand it, consider yourself fortunate that you don't live in such a situation, and for fucks sake stop with the snide, morally superior judgement of those who do. If you can muster that, on a guess that you might be from NZ but really don't know, I'll stop telling everyone that Kiwi's really do fuck sheep, especially on National Lamb Day when it's a competition rather than just a hobby.

Have fun.

This is obviously pansy high roller poker. As soon as the hand was revealed, chains and knives and pistols should have been produced by all the players. At the very least, the dealer should have a sawed off shotgun duct taped under the table.

Nobody knows how to make good TV anymore.

Maybe he forgot the paperclips and duct tape?

That was absolutely fascinating -- great sift!

A few random thoughts:
-If any video has ever better demonstrated the idiom "necessity is the mother of invention", I don't know what it is.
-Castro was very very clever to anticipate the technological needs of his people and have the army print that "field guide" book that spurred on greater independent development.
-Some of the things they came up with remind me of working on my family farm. Every day is an exercise in problem solving -- how to solve problem A given a set of tools/resources B. And often the things in B don't really lend themselves towards A... So you end up hammering in a nail with a brick, or patching a friction hole in a metal pipe with a few layers of plastic from a 2 liter bottle and duct tape.
-That artist Oroza is a great combination of artist, historian, archeologist, and storyteller.
-We (the US) still have sanctions against Cuba, but I can't really say why that is warranted...

For what it's worth I think Dawkin's statement 'no engineer would ever design that' is misguided as anyone who has hacked some software to meet a deadline will know or someone how has used duct tape to temporarily fix a leaky pipe so a building can open on time (but forget to fix it months later) will also know that compromises in design are the norm. there is never a perfect piece of engineering as we are human and don't live in a vacuum.

The Sift is not being used to sell GoPro any more than it's being used to sell iphones and other camera phones. Though I agree, people could stop using the camera name in the post titles, the camera used is irrelevant to the actual video.

Edit: Anyone want a vote their opinion on removing the GoPro Name from the title??
2nd Edit: the original post mentions Duct tape, but nothing about using a GoPro - could be any camera.

"it is a tight beam, the width of a human hair, about 10 cm in width, but extremely powerful, so if you are the front of this beam, you are killed in just a few seconds..."

...held together with duct tape.



Yes, I know it's just holding the sheets of lead over the sensor, but still...

The ammo counter always struck me as being poorly designed. Since most people are firing on the right shoulder, you can't actually see it. It also seems like having an illuminated LED on your gun might be something of a giveaway.

There's a great bit of in universe world building in the comics where you see a whole squad that have duct-taped over the ammo counter 'cos they never use the damn thing anyway and were sick of snipers using it as a target

most of the Red Bull Flugtag gliders, which have no engine and are built to crash into the water 1 time only, have flown further than this thing ever will.

MythBusters built a safer plane (which didn't fly) from bamboo, garbage bags, and duct-tape (MacGyver episode)

THAT

Only that is what you might of wrote, although with a question mark in its proper place.

The rest is a Chemically induced rant from a retarded mind, full of assumption and personal poo thoughts flung at the people outside the steel bars.

Shut down for the night, tape the bottle cap down with duct tape. You're just being a jack ass now.

* Yea I guess the part I had wrote here in astrix before was a dick thing to write... seeing as though we can not throw blows at each other like what seems proper *

I always wonder who'd win in a fight: WD40 or Duct Tape*. The upstoppable force vs the immovable object.


*or Duck Tape, if you'e so inclined
