I couldn't see said last scene because of the overlay cards for suggested videos.... those can be irritating.
Ladies.. here is why 99% of Guys don't approach you..
I agree with the work thing, I'd be leery of getting involved with anyone I worked with. And while it's possible they could be doing it wrong, it's also just as possible that the other party is in fact overreacting.
I also think that the more radical elements of feminism have spent so much time flogging the idea that all men are sex crazed lunatics and rape culture to generate fear (just like the far right does with immigrants and terrorism). So that any solution no matter how extreme will become acceptable to the masses.
I'm usually more worried that I am going to be rejected by somebody I have to, you know, see again on Monday morning. I kinda feel that If you are genuinely concerned that asking somebody out could be seen as sexual harassment...then you might be doing it wrong. Yeah, I think it is unfair and sexist that men are expected to the ones to initiate (unfair on both sexes actually...), but let's not go overstate things and pretend that our difficulties finding a partner is because the world wants to paint us all as rapists.
Transparent Aluminum
Aint nothing I like more on a hot day than a coool glass of liquid hydrogen.
"Look at this chassis, its COVERED in iron! It's practically all iron all the way through!"
:P
AlON is fine. I guess my point was that transparent compounds of metals aren't exactly uncommon, and neither is compounds having quite different characteristics to the elements from which they are composed. So it just seems silly to act like they've invented some amazing transparent metal.
Do you call rust iron?
Is there aluminum in it? Yes.
Is that aluminum opaque or transparent? Transparent.
*Mic drop*
You griefers are silly.
Faceswapping, Unethical Videos, and Future Shock
I remember seeing on the sift not too long ago an After Effects presentation on some magic they have in the next version which completely removed some element in a moving shot with birds and shit all around it with ease. This sort of thing will be the norm in no time.
Samantha Bee - THIS SASSY KOALA VIDEO IS ...
I think her point is that not only is it ok for women to speak about rape and assault, but also about other elements of sexual relationships that are both non-criminal and crucial. I don't know about you, but I've (1) never been rapey or weird; (2) had lots of great sex with lots of great people; and (3) more often than not navigated sexual behavior through non-verbal cues. In fact, many of the best sexual encounters I've had progressed solely upon non-verbal cues. So if for nothing more than the magic of sex (and if course there is more), I support women discussing men who can't read a vibe. BUT forchristsakejustdontputhisdickinyourmouththen.
It's what I dislike.
She calls him out publicly, a definite attempt to hurt him professionally, for not picking up on non verbal cues....allegedly given while his date was naked in his bed and engaging in sex in the dark but never verbalized, Sam has zero idea what those nonverbal cues were or if she even sent them.
Her private message to him was somewhat appropriate (but showed her lack of maturity to have gone through the bad date, slept with him, actually gone to sleep in bed with him, and only later decides it was unacceptable). Going public with a bad date and pretending it's a "me too" sex abuse story was outrageous imo, and only (severely) harms the anti sex abuse movement. He may have deserved blue balls, not to be blackballed.
I like Sam, but I think she's on the wrong side of this one. It's 100% up to the woman to communicate her discomfort clearly, not on men to pick up non verbal cues of discomfort given in the dark while they're also giving verbal cues to continue. She never said stop, she said slow down, which means continue, but slower. Verbal cues trump non verbal cues 99.999% of the time.
Mark Hamill : "He's not my Luke Skywalker"
I honestly don't know about Lucas.
He COULD be a Tolkien-esque visionary... or he could have taken a bunch of pre-existing elements (Kurosawa, Flash Gordon, the Dam Busters) and meshed them together and lucked out with an insanely talented group of people.
I don't want to write him off (I spent 20 years idolizing him from childhood to when I finally admitted how bad the prequels were).
But I also can't ignore the argument that much of what I love about Star Wars comes not from Lucas, but from Ralph McQuarrie's art, Ben Burtt's sound, John Williams' soundtrack (with a massive nod to Holst as well), Lawrence Kasdan's dialogue and the performances of Ford, Guinness and James Earl Jones.
LOL -- even if I somewhat agree with @ant, too.
Lucas maybe doesn't get enough credit for being a genius, Tolkien-esque "world creator".
Sure seems like he was at his best when he took that creative genius and paired it up with other people (NOT yes-men) to cover screenwriting duties (anything beyond broad-strokes, particularly dialog), directing, and probably casting etc. also. Given that, I breathed a sigh of relief when he sold to Disney. Star Wars wasn't going anywhere but down with him at the helm, but I like what Disney has done with it.
Then again, what do I know? His franchise to do with as he pleased. Just so happened that *I'm* also pleased with the net result...
2 Drops Of Spilled Mercury Destroyed This Scientist's Brain
Another thing to keep in mind is that different forms of elements and chemicals have very different properties.
Pure elemental liquid mercury is pretty cool stuff. Lots of people (myself included) can remember playing with elemental mercury in their bare hands in chemistry classes, etc., and even that sort of cavalier use basically never resulted in cases of mercury poisoning.
In sheer statistical terms, I gather that it is relatively safe to have pure liquid mercury directly on your skin -- cupped in your hands, say -- for short to medium periods of time. Open wounds, even small ones, can make that significantly worse. Even ingesting elemental mercury generally doesn't result in too much absorption into the body, but it remains a terrible idea. Evaporation of elemental mercury even at room temperature can lead to inhalation of mercury vapor, which is drastically more dangerous. So, ventilation and environmental controls are quite important.
This organic mercury sounds like terribly nasty stuff, but fortunately people are very unlikely to be exposed to it outside of a lab or if you are a scientist who is intentionally synthesizing it.
I think it is kind of a shame that those high school chemistry type sessions of messing around with elemental mercury are pretty much gone today. On the other hand, even though the risks are lower with elemental mercury like that, the rewards aren't really all that high either. I have fun memories of messing around with the stuff, but it wasn't by any means necessary or important outside of pure academic curiosity. Better safe that sorry I guess, particularly when the extreme end of "sorry" results in horror stories like this.
Should I Be Concerned?
Actually... no. You probably didn't realize the small air holes that are already in the plastiglass for humidity issues. It is simply there to a) keep your grubby hands off the REAL glass protecting you from the outside elements, and b) smoothes out the internal lining because otherwise there would be a large cavity between the inner wall and outer glass. Leaving a shelf next to the social public leads to a lot of garbage being left on it to clean up later.
Shark
@AeroMechanical:
I watched it a few times, because at first I thought part of the 'trick' was that they vibrated the panels. That would have been cooler, but I think it's simply visual along with a loud noise of the bang of the shark.
I think apart from simply the surprise element one way that makes it work well is that it is a huge screen, and you have to be really close to it to touch it, so it is all you see.
(and of course 1000's of peoples were surprised by it, a hundred of those people were video'd while doing so, and we get to see the best one of those recorded reactions, God bless the Internet)
Sticking Together, No Matter What
I was so close - thought it was shingles based on the layering and exposure to the various elements.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer (Official)
Extremely cautious about this one after Ep. 7 turned out to just be a cash-grab rehash of elements from the original trilogy. I refuse to board the hype train this time around. If it's good I'll be pleasantly surprised. At the very least, it will be interesting to see if the most common Internet theories about Rey's origins are correct.
Aikido - Hiromi Matsuoka
Yeah, he isn't resisting much and it does make her look stronger and the throws look cleaner than they really would in reality... there is an element of choreography, but in most cases it's for practical purposes, to avoid unnecessary injury, not for aesthetics.
But then i quite like the aesthetics too. It's dancing. I think I always enjoyed Ju Jitsu more for the workout, history and artistry of it than for actual self defence.
I'd like to see something like this done to a person who doesn't know Aikido.
I'm not saying it's not real or anything like that. But wondering if the guy is flying all over the place partly to make it look better because he knows "what's coming". Where as if these moves were to be performed on an untrained person would not look as spectacular.
Meteorologist Vs Irma In Key West, Florida
It seems it was two "meteorologists" working together. Every "meteorologist" knows you can't get accurate readings unless your full body is exposed to the elements and your work is verified by another. https://mobile.twitter.com/JustonStrmRider/status/906852342720495626
..and it makes for very cool videos and tons of sweet views.
er, put your arm out the car window?

Counter Protest Attacked In Charlottesville, Va
Making America Hate! Now OK to be out in the open about it again. A setback of 60-70 years due mostly to the weak ineptness of our current Asshat in Chief who can never condemn or call out that element of his revered base. So much more than ... SAD. This is *terrible
