Little Girl Puts On Lipstick All By Herself

BSR says...

Lying comes naturally to ALL kids.

As for dad "encouraging" it, you have no idea what took place after the camera was turned off. The kid is probably in the hospital right now with belt marks all over her back and a couple of missing fingers.

She is going to be serious trouble in about 10 years.
Lying comes naturally to her, and dad is encouraging it.

Sailing The Sea Of Stones

cloudballoon says...

I think we humans can afford a few beach destinations for a couple of years to help out the GBR, especially considering the dire state the GBR is in now.

Reading from Wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumice, it is not harmful to the fishies and even got lots of commercial value to it.

newtboy said:

Reading closely, it has the potential to be beneficial in certain ways, but there's no guarantee any of the infant coral it brings will be able to establish themselves.

I keep wondering what it's going to do to beach ecosystems in the area. I'm sure it's going to be bad for tourism, and could be horrible for fish. I hope someone is studying what it's done to the ocean chemistry.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

AeroMechanical says...

No, I spent a couple hours searching once, but I've never been able to find it. I can only narrow down the air date by where I lived when it was shown. It was B-roll stuff and it was 2 or 3 years after it was filmed that it aired (or at least that's the way it seems in my memory, but it was definitely long enough that I'd moved house twice in between).

Where can we see it? Is there a video of it online?

WWI Bombs Are Still Being Found Over 100 Years Later

StukaFox says...

When I was in Belgium a couple of years ago, I visited a farm where they're still pulling WW1 iron out of the ground on a daily basis. "The Iron Harvest" it's called. Finding WW1 shells is so common that farmers in the area just collect them and put them at the end of their roads for the disposal guys to pick up.

The truly scary part is that somewhere in Belgium, there's about 87,000 kilos of high explosives, which was supposed to be used to blow an enormous hole in the German trenches became lost when the Brits had to fall back. To this day, no one knows where the explosives are. In 1955, lightning hit a similar "lost mine" and pretty much leveled an otherwise dull field of vegetables.

The 7 Biggest Failures of Trumponomics

newtboy says...

Interesting suggestion.

I believe that with 1/10 the population, near today's per capita resource usage would be sustainable....although there would be a necessary time period with net zero or better emissions required to return the atmosphere to "normal" before runaway greenhouse effects and feedbacks turn earth into Venus 2.0. After that, there is an amount of emission the planet can absorb, so resource usage need not be curtailed excessively, but it wouldn't hurt.

I'm all for the lottery system if everyone draws straws, no exceptions except those willing to just move to the reservation voluntarily.
Even a lottery system simply for procreation would do wonders, but remembering the outrage at China for just allowing one child per couple, I doubt that would fly either. Also, it does leave the possibility that the lucky procreators might all be imbecilic morons incapable of following/continuing the plan...we don't want to become a species that is dumber than our pets....or do we?

I think the priorities should be reversed too, what's best for life on earth first, humanity second.

It's an extreme solution certainly, but not without merit. I doubt there'd ever be a willing acceptance of such a plan though, so a slightly more realistic solution would need to be moderated some. How's this for dystopian-but-not-quite-genocidal:
Worldwide lottery, a small percentage (total of 500M - 1B maybe) wins the right to live in what will be the new model of the world: something like what we have now, but with drastically reduced usage of non-renewable resources (until they can be replaced completely) and a target of zero negative impact on the environment as a whole. Still some version of democratic (generally at least), freedom of whatnot and such, open travel to the degree that sustainable transportation options allow, all the (again, sustainable) mod cons. I suppose different countries / regions could still run things according to their preferences, as long as the net-zero goal remains.
The other lottery entrants, the non-winners, don't need to die, hooray! They will however live on something akin to reservations, as serfs, without the right to further reproduce. These poor bastards, in exchange for not being outright murdered to save civilization, are to be consolidated into agricultural communes to do whatever they can to regrow the world's flora and fauna until they all eventually die. Their goal is not net-zero, but as far into the positive as possible. It would all be overseen according to some grand scheme(s) to be as beneficial for the overall future of humanity and life on Earth in general as possible.

Probably also unworkable, but preferable to megamurder?

Snake Attacks Man From Doorway

Payback says...

I'm pretty sure Drogon munched down on one or two of the slave masters right before Daenarys did her first flight. Hes chewed up a couple kids off camera too iirc.

Come to think of it, that show hasn't had a dragon frickin' bite anyone yet, has it? That seems wrong.

Swamp Thing Teaser Trailer

moonsammy says...

DC going to Netflix would be a reaaaaally smart move on their part. Have a couple decent shows, tie them into some movies that aren't fucking awful, and people might actually give a crap about their universe.

RFlagg said:

Perhaps with Disney pulling all the Marvel stuff to Disney+, and assuming DC Universe doesn't make enough, perhaps they'll partner with Netflix or something.

What Happens When You Try to File a Complaint Against a Cop

newtboy says...

Bob...
Tell that to the couple murdered in cold blood in Houston.
The entire force tried and tried and tried to lie about it, up to and including the police chief and police union president threatening the entire city with murder on television if they don't support the police....police who had just murdered an innocent family and boldly thoroughly lied about it to cover their murders.
Where were the good cops there? Not a single one in the entire city came forward with the truth, they banded together and used their lie as an excuse to ignore more laws and become more threatening and aggressive to the public. This continued well after the truth was uncovered, numerous lies and fabricated evidence was offered publicly, only the media investigation exposed the tapestry of lies the whole force produced together.

So...where are all these good cops you claim exist? Show me 5 cases where cops turned in criminal cops who were then convicted of serious crimes and the whistle blower remained on the force. You simply can't, they don't exist.

Do you think not all MS13 are bad? Some haven't murdered or pushed drugs, just stood with and protected their brothers who do...those are good people, right? *facepalm
Bob, all cops are bad....some worse than others but they're all in a criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice.

SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Lands All Three Boosters

jmd says...

I am sad that this is just a re hash of the live feed. bad quality video and missing most of the barge video because it cut out at the most important time. Was hoping for a localy saved copy of the footage at the least now that it has been a couple days.

New Math vs Old Math

bcglorf says...

The problem is that it's confusing theory with the method. The right hand method(henceforth referred to as right method) shows that 35*2+35*10=35*12. It takes all of a couple minutes to show a class that. Spend a little time reminding them of the theory, put have them practice the right method. This isn't a mathematical theory exercise, this is performing basic arithmetic. It's why you segway into algebra later and show kids a(x +y)=ax+ay

scheherazade said:

"Get the answer faster" is not the point.

The left explains why multiplication works, whereas the one on the right is a process for multiplying.

The left makes it visually obvious that scalars are separable.

That : (35*2) = (30*2) + (5*2) = (30+5) * 2


The only thing missing (which may have been covered elsewhere) is that : 35 'IS" (3*10^1) + (5*10^0), and that multi-digit-numbers are already presented as separate scalars in sum.

New Math vs Old Math

eric3579 says...

I guess i kinda do the new math when seeing that problem. I do it in a couple seconds in my head though. 35x10 + 35x2. I always just assume everyone's doing it that way.
