Tommy's a moron, John is smart. It's utter bullshit that they have the same intelligence but one makes only stupid decisions and the other only smart decisions.

Trait number 5 is also absolute bullshit. The rich consistently blame others for their failures and never take responsibility for them, only their successes....see DJT.

According to the narrator, I should downvote since I enjoy learning about the cells of a leaf.

Like any extremist philosophy Rand's writings contain elements of truth. The problem is that they offer a philosophical fig leaf for the rich and powerful to fully exploit their situation in business and politics without regard to the negative effects they may have on the rest of society.

A successful civilisation needs to understand the limitations of both sides of the argument and take the best of both worlds.

i am neither weasel nor eagle.

i am a leaf on the wind...watch me soar.

The ants will be fine. They use the leaves as mulch to grow fungus that they feed to their larvae. The adult ants feed on leaf sap, so when they cut up the plastic, no sap, no problem.

How many workers have crushed fingers?

That is a lot of steps to get leaf.

Lets amp this up to clear my acre of leafs

I can't confirm there was a contest or something going on, but I have found other stories noting the girls were apologized to by the team and Fox Sports and that they did indeed ask for the tickets be donated to the New Leaf charity. The girls confirm it on their Facebook https://www.facebook.com/axoasu/posts/950038358385816.

It probably does explain why they were making faces and being goofy for so long.

I never knew there was blow back for it. It did eventually seem the announcers got carried away by going on and on about it, but I thought it was more in jest than them actually feeling that way.

And I upvoted and laughed too... indeed may have shared the video elsewhere.

The terrorists will fight back with vortex leaf blowers.

I always turn it off if I can. Nothing pisses me off more than scoping in on someone, only to have them blur to "indistinction" (if that's a word) because a leaf or blade of grass gets too much screen real estate.

According to his description on YouTube it's 3mm PVC Komacel :

"Here is a video of me building a Dodge M37 body from scratch. Edited down to 17 minutes from 3 hours of footage from 60 hours of build time. I hope it can entertain and inspire folks to be creative and make things. The body is made mostly with 3mm thick PVC sheet called Komacel, glued with CA glue. Driver is pine wood, bumper is aluminum. Rides on a GCM 4ten leafed chassis and tcase, rc4wd K44 axles, axial trans, tekin esc and motor."

"esc" in his quote = electronic speed control.

His build of a 77 Ford is equally impressive.

So the FCC won't let me be
They want to stack the deck for the ISPs
but we've got a couple of tricks up our sleeves
It's far too important to leave to police
it could lead to the streets
a breach of the peace
and even decrease our freedom of speech
there's never been a bigger reason to read up
and see what's agreed 'cause of greed for the green and deceit
The greener the leaf, the sweeter the tree
the quicker they'll chop it down and leave nothing but tree stumps; debris
the damage is done, no refund received
see, the thing about net neutrality
is unless you get huge salaries
? the paramedic won't rescue casualties
' til they've seen to the rich next dude's allergies
they'll prioritise cash over content
wanna send one bit? That's one cent
What nonsense, man it's scaring me
a planet of plenty's selling scarcity
Innovation paved the way
Now invaders are paying to take it away
but they ain't gonna make it today
! Letting that happen's a major mistake
If Lessig was rapping he'd tell you the same
LETTING THAT HAPPEN'S A MAJOR MISTAKE
Tim Berners Lee baked us a cake
and they've taken the cherry.. AND THE CAKE
discrimination is happening today
to blacks and to gays and to packets of data
though ethically they're exactly the same
so Oi, we're not gonna stand 4 it m8

I'm from the place John Oliver came from
but no matter where you live you should be singing the same song
at long last, I'm putting Comcast on blast
'cause they never learn their lesson like they're in the wrong class
well I'm the professor and I'm setting you with one task
Get them knocked back like a shot glass
Straight in front of me's a cable company
The way they're behaving's unbelievable
Comcast is in league with the devil
and it's pissing me off, I'm not even American
! Take a peek, see from the evidence
Netflix had to pay a fee to get better links
it's a shakedown, communication breakdown
There's a bully in the playground
I had enough of that at school, won't lay down
lay a finger on me, you'll be laid out
You'll be laid out
You'll be laid ou
You'll be laid out
You'll be laid out
lay a finger on me, you'll be laid out

I saw that one yesterday, fantastic reflexes and save. So sad for the Leafs....

Your Sharks are in town tomorrow, we're fighting for second in the division at the moment, should be a good game.
