Music Video Gives A Redo to Boring Corporate Video Footage

Introducing the Compact Disk

CrushBug says...

CDs were overpriced in my city, usually around $25. Until a new store opened, selling them for $13-15 then for 1 year everything tumbled down. It finally equalized out to under $20, right before the digital wave hit.

How powerful assault-style rifles lead to devastating wounds

harlequinn says...

Good video. But...

"The speed of an assault weapon is substantially higher than the speed of a handgun".

No. The velocity of the projectile from a centerfire rifle is generally much higher than that of a centerfire pistol. It does not matter if the rifle is semi-automatic or not. The velocity of the projectile from a rimfire rifle is also generally much higher than that of a centerfire pistol. But rimfire rifles have very low projectile weights and deliver substantially less energy, have substantially less momentum, have generally smaller projectile diameters, and hence are much less lethal than centerfire pistols.

Some projectiles are designed to tumble. Most projectiles for disrupting flesh are designed to flatten out (and not fragment).

Lake Oroville dam spillway damage

SFOGuy says...

For reference: flows at the their highest out of the spillways were exceeding the flows at Niagra Falls---

And---in 2005, 3 environmental groups tried to get the State to concrete armor the emergency spillway---they protested it would be too expensive and not necessary...And of course, with the main spillway out of action, the emergency spillway has started to erode as well---and 200,000 people have been evacuated. To my understanding---and I'm not a hydraulic engineer---the risk with the emergency spillway is that the water flowing over the concrete "cap" or "curb" has started to...duh...erode the earth below the cap. If it erodes too far, the concrete cap will tumble off, a 30 foot wall of water will cascade over the edge, the the dam will start to erode...

Little Boy Falls Through Net

Snowboarder Survives Avalanche with Inflatable Backpack

Golf returned to the Olympics after more than 100 years...

SFOGuy says...

Thus it was passed down to me...
It's believable.
Although I think there's really only been two golf moments like that in my life; the other being Tiger's hovering put at the 16th (?) at Augusta, that posed with its little Nike symbol for a good, long while before finally tumbling in---what was that---2001? 2000?

Really? That's really a promotion for it? That is awesome.

Coach Makes Nice Save

Payback says...

Part reaction, mostly experience. He obviously knew she was getting into a high-centrifugal-force point and her hands might slip as he moved forward ahead of time. The tumble to keep from squashing her was an excellent touch.

Skier Miraculously Survives 1,600 Foot Fall

newtboy says...

Lucky guy to not be hurt, but that's really more of a 1600 foot tumble, not a fall. There was about a 10 foot fall in there at around :43, but from the title I really expected a wrong turn to a huge cliff, not a roll down the slope.

This Gnarly Crash Couldn't Stop Nicholi Rogatkin

Drunk King Gets TASED Trying to Escape with Beer in Hand

Don't ride off a hill if you don't know how to land - go pro

sillma says...

To me that looks like a failed base jump. You can see him holding a parachute strap with his left hand when he's tumbling on the cliffside.

lolz said:

If you look at about 0:25, you can see that there is a section where he is supposed to land and keep on riding. I was just pointing this out because I didn't see it the first time I watched it.

The Worst Nobel Prize Ever Awarded

poolcleaner says...

You know how the pressures in life can cause people to do crazy things? And if a person does too many crazy things, then that person is crazy. Sometimes you can do things to keep from going crazy, like drinkin', or havin' sex; but, if the craziness goes too far, sometimes the only thing left to do is to cut out that part of the brain that makes you crazy.

That kind of brain surgery is called a frontal lobotomy. Maybe this song will help you understand what I mean.

"Jimmy and I were brothers.
We went down different paths.
Jimmy always listened to my mother,
And me, I never like to take a bath.

"As we grew and tumbled through adulthood
The pressure caused emotional drain.
So now I'm slowly dying in the bottle
And Jimmy has to live with half a brain.

"Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain t"he same.

"But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.

"Jimmy let his troubles drive him crazy.
He never tried to drown it in a drink.
I know that drinking makes my thinking hazy,
But at least I still have brains enough to think.

"Jimmy's got a brain that isn't stable.
He doesn't have the sense to say his name.
I'm sorry that his doctor was unable
To remove the proper portion of his brain.

"Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

"But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.

"Funny how the world works.
People can be real jerks.
Some prefer the tension over booze.

"Either way it ends the same.
Hard to beat the living game.
Might as well enjoy it while you lose.

"When I need a drink I start to shiver
And Jimmy always viewed it with concern.
But I'd rather have cirrhosis of the liver
Than an intellect that's second to a fern.

"I wonder if old Jimmy's gonna hear it
When I tell him that his logic wasn't sound.
They'll dose him up on lots of evil spirits
When they take him to the psychiatric grounds.

"Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

"But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane!"

SpaceX Successfully Tests Crew Launch Abort System

rich_magnet says...

The capsule seems to tumble excessively. It seems like a very nauseating ride! I wonder if that's within designed parameters or if it was somehow lighter than a final capsule would be or something.
