Who bailed out the banks - Obama

To make things worse Obama increased the debt 10 Trillion more than ALL fucking presidents combined. Talk about ruining the economy Its a noose on the necks of Americans for generations

The root cause was Democrats wanting home ownership for more people, which happen to be those who could not afford a house. Dodd/Frank led the way . Republicans tried a few time to curb/ change it but failed. Banks complied and wrote bad loans and sold them to larger banks and they packaged these bad loans to look attractive and the house of cards tumbled.

Katrina -- You seriously want to go there--- New Orleans and the storm that hit Jersey shore and Long Island ... Fucking disaster years later --- Yep your boy really hit it out of the park with the help didn't he?

9/11 waning completely ignored. Bullshit.. Clinton had Bin Laden had full intelligence to get him and did nothing.

I don't know if you have you head in the sand or up your ass.

I think having a conversation about evolution versus creation can be fruitful. As a former lifelong agnostic who has experienced it, I can testify of the brainwashing that goes on the other side of the fence. It starts out early in childhood books and cartoons, then through public education, television, science fiction and movies. You're raised all of your life to believe the secular creation narrative, and your friends and family who believe as you do reinforce this belief. You are self-deceived into thinking your information filter is very large and sophisticated when it is very small and full of personal bias.

That can be why people have an adverse reaction when evolution is called into question. To them it is reality and if you were to remove that cornerstone their idea of the way the world is would come tumbling down with it. If someone doesn't understand their need for Jesus, it is a hard thing to consider accepting.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

As a business, Facebook seems like a house of cards ready to tumble. As a social site it actually has quite a bit of utility for someone like me who has had a scattered life over several continents - I've never had an easier way to keep in touch with friends and family.

Of the many ways one might die I think death by hypoxia as you tumble into the black aint so bad. Your body would probably get a pretty nice cremation when your orbit takes you back towards earth.

ps. Kessler Syndrome is a bitch.

I'm looking forward to this one, but I'm reserving judgment to see how many times they wind up in these death defying moments. I have to believe the movie is going to have more substance than "Great! I'm free tumbling to my death...AGAIN!!"

At least I hope it will.

Right as the video switches from 4 to 5 seconds, you can see the kitten roll to a stop after it tumbles. Due to it's position on the road based on the next 2 vehicles to pass and the car it appears behind not having any back window open/moving and that it falling on it's back suggesting it didn't fall very far, it seems to have fallen out from under the larger silver vehicle that it appeared behind.

did the POV tumble into the basket?

Is this real? Where is he getting the height from for that last tumble?!

♪♫ ... drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds. ♪♫

You can see the man that was thrown from the plane at the 13 second mark on the right side of the frame. It looks like a dark blur then you can see his red clothing as he tumbles along. Pause the video and use the arrow keys to go frame by frame.

The sweet sound of just about anything getting gibbed in Quake 1, bonus points for pasting something in low gravity and watching the bloody bits tumble all over the place. Somebody needs to get Trent Reznor to do sound effects for another game.

oh man.. That quake 1 jump noise. takes me back to way too much time in quakeworld



I loved that zero gravity map!

The most important thing the pedestrian did was the jump. They did a test on some car show (can't remember what it was, could be mythbusters?) that if you jump straight up, the impact is much safer. It's to do with the friction of your feet making the impact happen horizontally, ie the car pushes you forward. Where as just lifting both feet off the ground, it becomes a tumbling motion and lot less inertia is transferred, ie you stay in the same place. Also if both feet are on the ground you have the awful possibility of being dragged under the car.

The damn machine looks like it's programed to torment kitty. It Make's a terrible racket while it sounds as if it's tumbling the portion it's going to dispense. Then, while still churning the kibbles, it begins to squawk in a Pokemonesque voice while STILL forgoing kitty's meal-time!!

(edit) Ohhhhhh wait.....I just watched it again....It's the neurotic cat not the cleverly-designed dispenser that's fucked up!!

I hear what you are saying. (but)
I'm not judging the event. This sounds fraking cool, and I'm sure it's a scientific wonder that we can now detect, analyze and examine events such as these. The science isn't lost on me or the work, study and teams that go into this sort of thing.

What I don't see is great video. I'm not asking for a cheesy edited version dumbed down for the 6-9 p.m. TV viewing public. I am expecting some explanation (as part of the footage), some commentary from the people working on the project, or some graphics explaining the likelihood, descriptions of projections, something.

If there was no description next to this, non of us would even know what we were looking at. Sort of misses the mark from the medium we are here to judge. I'm basing my vote on the video in front of me, not the event that's trying to be presented.

> that's a white dot on a black surface.
I missed that! I saw an asteroid, maybe 30 ft wide, perhaps showing tumbling motion, being tracked at a ridiculous custom rate of azimuth and altitude change, by a team from MIT working for NASA. Watch the stars fly by in the background.
This near earth object at just thousands of miles away from missing the Earth, is probably like missing a home run in baseball because your bat was 1/50th of a millimeter too low and 0.05 mph too slow.
