I go to North Beach and stare at Vancouver Island. Perhaps you have seen me waving?

Hey I'm like Sarah Palin, I used to be able to see you from my front porch. Well, only in the winter when the trees in the cemetery lost their leaves, and only with a decent set of binoculars. Looks like a beautiful little town, closest I've come to it was a roadtrip from Victoria to Seattle via Port Angeles to see Aerosmith.

Hah, the times when I didn't know - or give a fuck about - the gender or nationality of any of the folks who worked on the same project, I remember them as if it was yesterday. Wait .... it was!

I didn't care much when we still had to meet every now and then while working on our shareware back in the mid '90s, but once online repositories became available, it's been even less of a concern. Then again, those big open source projects -- I prefer to watch them from a safe distance. With binoculars, you might say. Tell the drama to stay away from me, I have a good supply of that already. No need for a surplus.

"They" are a glutton for punishment, aren't "they"? Getting kicked in the teeth again and again (treatment of KSM and Manning cases as the latest entries), yet "they" remain loyal partisan voters. Is it really just the fear of what those nutjobs on the other side of the aisle would do if they were in charge?

It sure is interesting to watch though, from this side of the Atlantic, with binoculars. Then again, I don't even need binoculars to see Hungary, and they truly are on a fast track away from democracy -- equally interesting.

I know I'm probably the only one who is bothered by it, but the continuity issues are distracting. The curtain is open, then closed, then open, then closed. Obviously it's because there wasn't really a window on that set and it's just a short Internet video, but come on. And a guy has huge binoculars right outside the curtained window but the girls inside still look like they're a mile away? Yeesh.

Still, funny.


I thought the same thing, but the window with the closed shade is above the bed's headboard...there's another window as well on the wall to the left in the opening shot, which is the one the dudes are watching through.

When I say 'hidden' there I mean simply that we do not know or understand it. There are plenty of things in nature that benefit the animal involved that we do not understand. For example, as I was watching on QI earlier, no one knows exactly why the hammer head shark has a head in the strange shape that it does. There are theories that it is to improve their binocular vision. Others speculate that it improves their ability to sense electrical activity in muscles. (What a crazy sense that is.) No one can prove what exactly the benefit of this head shape is. Regardless, no one thinks that this head shape is a disadvantage to the species just because they can't quite nail down what exactly the benefit is. This hammer head shark example exists in only one species. Homosexual behavior has been well documented to exist in many, many species. The wide spread existence of this behavior in so many otherwise unrelated species leads me to believe that there is a benefit to the species involved, even if we can't quite prove what that benefit is. If not, it seems very likely that evolution would have selected against this, which it obviously has not.

>> ^Mcboinkens:


Maybe, but any time a benefit is "hidden" it is likely not to exist. The problem with your line of thought is that a gay animal would know its role was not to have children in their animal pack/group/whatever. Meanwhile, homosexuals in our society are adopting, getting artifically inseminated, and so on. One could say that they only choose to adopt because of socity's effect on their mindset, that everyone should have children. But this still conflicts with the idea that they are born gay so that they can take care of tasks other than offspring. It definately is a logical view, though. I see where you are coming from. If a population is exploding, then some of those in the population do not need to focus on reproduction. Good theory.

What, no suggestion to rape her? You're losing your edge, brother.

I think I can help you out. But you must follow these rules exactly as written.

1. Buy some essential items that will come into use later: two (2) thick muslin clothes (no smaller than 6"x6"), a 1/2 cc hypodermic needle/syringe, a pack of Mentos (your favorite flavor), a can of acetone from Home Depot, a bottle of common house bleach (sodium hypochlorite), a small metal pencil box, a twenty dollar bill, a pair of binoculars.
2. Using the pair of binoculars, watch your prey carefully for days to get his or her routine down.
3. Pinpoint a place where your prey is always alone, and leave a packet of Mentos nearby. You'll need to leave them hidden enough where they won't be easily detected by passers-by. You'll want them later.
4. Next, find a homeless man with AIDS. You can probably find one under a bridge near a hospital or AIDS clinic.
5. Pay him twenty bucks for a syringe full of his AIDS infested blood.
6. Place the syringe inside the pencil box so you don't stab yourself. This will allow for safe carry.
7. Soak one muslin cloth with acetone, and the other with bleach.
8. Wait at the secluded spot you picked out.
9. When your prey arrives, put the two muslin clothes together. A chemical reaction will occur when the acetone and bleach mix creating chloroform. Quickly place that over your prey's mouth and nose.
10. Once your prey is out, remove the syringe from the pencil box and inject the blood inside him or her.
11. Sit back and wait. You can locate your Mentos for added snacking enjoyment.
12. When your prey awakes, surprise him or her with the news of your prank!

Do you think there's a leprechaun sitting on a pot of gold out there with binoculars looking at him and jerking off?

I'm thinkin' so.

My initial impression was OHHH space in 3d, awesome! But then I got to thinking, aren't most of the images of space so far away that any sort of binocular effect would be indistinguishable. I mean, take for example clouds. They are relatively close compared with the heavens, and they don't really have much binocular effect. The only neat parts would be of the closer in stuff, like the astronauts walking around on the space station.

Thanks...Now zip up your pants and get the hell off my tree branch!

EDIT:
P.S. I appreciate the quality for that tipping video.

I've been watching you from across the yard with my binoculars. Congrats with the new silver, king of metals, it looks good on you.

Hey HEY, who started playing that music?
