Anthropocene: The Human Epoch (Trailer)

Well, all of us can't be shot to death or die in an auto or plane crash or drowning or stabbing or overdosing or neglect or hunger or animal attacks or electrocution or tornados or hurricanes or earthquakes or falling off a cliff or...

Lethal Injections: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

How big was the room? How well sealed? It has to displace enough of the oxygen long enough to drown you. You really don't wanna get 1/2 way, run out, and survive with brain damage, that's probably not going to help with whatever problem made you try suicide in the first place.

Side note...we are running out of helium, and it's needed for science. Please don't waste it killing yourself people, any gas that displaces oxygen should do the trick.

I was kind of surprised she used two party sized tanks. I thought one would have been enough. I should have taken chemistry in HS.

I wonder if this stems somewhat from their marketing - they are trying to sell you a fashion accessory or perhaps symbol of status, not a gadget or a gizmo. At best it's a tool for trendy creative types, in the same way a wand is a tool for a wizard; Its a magic box not a glorified computer, a single crystal grown deep beneath The Valley of Silicon which the tech-priests then ensorcell using incantations passed down from the late grand master. An Iphone cannot be repaired because it does not break... it dies. Never forget the memories you shared with it, because they are irretrievable otherwise. Admitting it can be put right after a light drowning would perhaps dispel the magic.

That's my take anyway. Oh, and that they'd rather sell you a new thing that repair an old thing.

I suppose the irony is that most people will never see the genuine artistry and engineering excellence that goes into these things.

Monsoon V

Yeah people are moronic about flooding during monsoons, that's why we in Arizona have a "stupid motorist" law that charges them for their own rescue.

Not only a month ago I was driving back to AZ from San Diego and it was pouring the whole way back. Got back to Tucson and it was cold and clouds everywhere. Next day decided to go to this awesome canyon because I knew there would be water and after a rain like that the Sonoran desert becomes gloriously green. Basically the whole canyon park is split by a wash that turns into a raging river and on this occasion the water was flooding over all of the bridges essentially making half the canyon park inaccessible.

Then, out of the blue comes this young guy walking super fast holding his two daughters' hands, began to cross the flooded bridge, the water was about two feet deep but it was moving fast. Luckily, a park ranger stopped him, but those two little kids probably would have been swept away and drowned. Later, on we saw a rescue heli go up and saw on the news that someone had been swept away because they tried to cross.

You and me both. Years ago I had a job at White Sands Missile range, where the main entrance road was named after PFC Marvin R. Owen, an MP who had been on duty during one of those monsoon rains. Some guy reporting for duty from New Jersey, or some such station, didn't want to be late. So he drove into the running arroyo that separated him from post HQ. He had his wife and two kids with him as I recall, and they all started floating downstream. PFC Owen drove his pickup into the arroyo in an attempt to stop the car, but they were all swept away.

They all drowned in the middle of the desert, and the next day most likely there was hardly any water to be seen.

I tend not to be the first one to cross.

Takes me back to my childhood. Although it doesn't show the interminable lines of cars caught at washes (low water crossings) until one car is brave (or stupid) enough to try to cross.

In Australia lots of things can kill you ...but not AR15s

wtfcaniuse says...

The part where they say "at least we don't have an NRA" is wrong. We have the SSAA which is the NRA's retarded younger brother. The NRA helps fund the SSAA and influences politics and gun law in Australia the same as they do in the USA.

Also kangaroos will fuck you up and drown your dog. If you're a tourist visiting Australia please don't treat them like pets, even if other people are doing it. Stay the fuck away from the males.

Herbert Nitsch, The Deepest Man On Earth

drradon says...

can't say I would promote this - fine that this guy can develop this talent, but we frequently lose deep dive wannabes who try this without proper support teams and end up drowning due to shallow water blackout...

Does anyone know the original video these clips were pilfered from? You know, the one that actually talks and give us the real info behind the film clips.
I hate these types of filtered videos.
