Gas employee beats family's dogs with wrench

artician says...

In the guys (very slim) defense, he looked surprised to see the dogs, they appear to be great danes, and he could have a crippling fear of dogs. I don't even mean a phobia; I used to be so afraid of dogs when I was younger that my legs would freeze up and feel like jelly.
Everything else is his fault, of course, but the whole thing is strange. I think most public services schedule a time/day to lock pets in for safe access to the property, (but that's probably the kind of change they hope to encourage with this video.)
The other thing that bothers me is why the wife didn't yell at the guy. Was she afraid for her safety? Suffering from a case of suburbanitis?

Solving By Using 'Extreme Case' Puzzles With Physics Girl

L0cky says...

The extreme case I thought of here wasn't about the balloon, it was about the air. Imagine the air was a lot denser... like water, or jelly.

I wasn't familiar with the term 'extreme cases' but use this all the time when making logical arguments, and think of it as exaggeration to help illustrate a point.

Unfortunately, while I think it makes it easier for me to visualize the point, people are often blinded by the comical nature of the exaggeration

"What do you mean if there were 10 zillion Chinese people on the island of Malta and 3 Brits had the Americas to themselves? The world should still learn English!"

(Someone trying to argue that even if Chinese was predominant, English would still be used in a larger geographical area, and me attempting to use exaggeration to illustrate that it's besides the point).

Problem 1: Tip toward the wood, as the wood will lose more buoyancy from the air than the lead.

As for the extreme case here, let's use the helium balloon. You tie the helium balloon to the right hand side of the scale. Now, to get the bar on the scale horizontal (balanced) you need to hang the lead weight closer to the fulcrum but on the right hand side of the scale too.

Now remove the air.

The balloon was only pulling up because of the air. Without the air it will hang down. So, we now have two things hanging down on the same side of the scale, so it's very obvious which way the scale will swing...

Problem 2: pi*20m Circumference = pi*diameter. Poles increase diameter by 20m. Really not sure where the 'extreme case' comes into this though?

What Sex Looks Like from the Inside

worthwords says...

yeah obviously but said gel had to be inserted into said rectum.
it's basically a high tech deficating proctogram

Think of the practicalities of being in a tight tube of an MRI scanner and being asked to shit out some jelly with the clanking noise of the MRI not masking the farting/deficating sound. Just remember the amazing staff involved in obtaining such images.

Maybe because poop doesn't show up on an MRI?

Why are there dangerous ingredients in vaccines?

ChaosEngine says...

Oh look, I found the comment

...pretty much every edible plant (sans chemical agents) is going to combat cancer in one way or another. Going full raw vegan is a good start. ....This will happen by itself with a good diet.


And I hate peanut butter and jelly....

And you are the guy who rapes nuns on Teusdays for peanut butter jelly sandwitches. (Hint: Lies aren't don't become true just because you type them out.)

You are welcome to continue placing your faith in the FDA, CDC, and AMA to tell you the truth. Good luck with that.

You expect me to show you massive, expensive, controlled studies published exclusively by those who have a massive, vested, financial interest in supressing the very same studies. Genius. Pure genius.

These peer reviewers are regularly lying to each other, to themselves, to the publishers, and to the public to maintain funding. They have no credibility whatsoever. You are reading studies that are all fancied up to be all technical and socially acceptable and official and scientific and peer reviewed and above reproach... And they are all lies. Calculated lies to maintain the results expected by those who fund the studies.

ChaosEngine said:

@Sniper007 is the same guy that believes you can cure cancer with salads. I wouldn't put too much stock in his medical advice...

Ronda Rousey on her physique and "Do Nothing Bitches"

blackfox42 says...

Yeah. I really think it's something you have to grow up with. My wife (who was born here) loves it. She gives it to our little boy as well, much to my disgust I'm trying to get him on peanut butter and jelly but he's not too keen on jelly yet (bit too sweet for him).

eric3579 said:

Thanks, im guessing i could find it if i looked. Ill try it next time its in front of my face. Hmmm saying you still dont like it makes me wonder if the video is bs.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Paid Family Leave

newtboy says...

Even if all you say is true, you ignore the fact that they have less than 1/2 the debt per person...so if we taxed people enough to pay for the government we have, we would pay MORE than they do per person.
Also, if they make 3 times what average Americans do, yet are taxed at less than twice the percentage Americans are paid, they make WAY more take home pay than Americans. For that, they get a better standard of living, far better schools, free healthcare (so not 'taxed' up to $1000 a month for insurance) etc...and they have more cash to play with as well. So if they work hard and invest correctly, they can retire in 1/2 the time you could with the same nest egg, but far fewer bills to pay. It sounds like you might just be jelly.

The tax level in Norway has fluctuated between 40 and 45% of GDP since the 1970s. The relatively high tax level is a result of the large Norwegian welfare state.

You literally dwarf the US tax rate per person, almost by double the amount.

You have a VAT tax of 25%, among the highest in the world. My equivalent is sales tax, which is 8.25% on the dollar, and it should be 2.5% lower than that, but Austin is a super-left city that taxes extra to cover all their feel good plans.

To be clear, the average Norwegian household pays roughly $70,000 per year in tax. Including the state’s oil income, government tax revenue exceeds $100,000 per household.

Discretionary spending is kept to an extreme minimum, because you don't have much left after taxes. The cost of living and recreation in Norway is through the roof compared to other countries.

Workers come to the office, punch a clock, shuffle papers, and go home. There is no cultural drive to work hard and get promoted. Norway has created a system that makes it virtually impossible to pull ahead of your peers financially. In fact, culturally, there is a thing where you are NOT supposed to do better than someone else.

What major worldwide innovations or brands do we get out of Norway? None that I can think of offhand, but here is a list of some of their more important companies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_of_Norway.

So, you get taxed a ton, cost of living is incredibly high, there is no incentive to do better than anyone else, and in return you get to have free stuff like healthcare and education. Not that it matters really, because once you get out of school you get to become a worker bee drone. Unless of course you move to another country and get to achieve something there.

So, yeah, enjoy your hive mind country. As screwed up as mine is, at least there is a chance to become something if you work hard and invest correctly.

I came back because I'm just as lonely and bored as I was a decade ago.

That.. and those stupid nagging emails from siftbot.

I was curious to see how the site had changed..

You know, check up on the "community".

But as my poll suggests. Videosift is a ghosttown.

A shell of a flawed idea.

p.s. - I'm fuckin' hilarious.. adorable and sexy as well. No need to be jelly.

ChaosEngine said:

Why DID you come back?
You've done nothing but troll and moan since you came back.

I had vague memories of you being funny and/or interesting before you left, but looking back through your comment history, I see I was mistaken.

I don't really care about rank or status here, but I do enjoy the community. Ironically, you returning has actually made the sift a worse place.

Well done.

Go Home Road, You're Drunk

Zawash says...

Totally needs the not-yet-existing channel *waitforit - and *epic.

I first thought this was the jelly-effect from the rolling shutter - and no, it was definitely not.

Sea of Jellyfish in Denmark

Sagemind says...

A jelly fish sting feels like a bee sting, except you cant touch the spot you got stung, because if you rub it, it smears the stingers all down your arm or leg or wherever you were stung creating a whole area of stings - And trust me, it's so hard to just stand there and let it sting without grabbing that spot...

Walmart Ice Cream Sandwiches Don't Melt

oritteropo says...

The youtoube comments say it contains Guar gum, Carboxymethyl cellulose, and Carrageenan... it'll hold its shape, but it would have more of a jelly or marshmallow texture than an icecream once it was warmed up.

notarobot said:

It might have been better if he put a clock on the table with the ice cream. Still that's pretty weird for a frozen food. Anyone know what they're made of?
