I did a few months ago, so I lowered my sugar consumption like from drinks. Doctors didn't say I have diabetes. However, they did say I have high blood pressures (family tree members have it and had to take daily tablets) and very low vitamin D (not an outdoor guy; taking pills and trying to go outside for at least 15 minutes per day). I have lots of allergies (itches, leaks, etc.) too.

So, if your asshat neighbor is flying their drone over your house filming your wife, you just need to get yourself a pet eagle.
I wonder if anyone sees this as a business plan...rent-an-eagle....perfect for protecting private outdoor orgies, or whatever else you don't want filmed.

If she's not wearing white stockings, she REALLY needs to spend more time outdoors.

Plus: man, they would make a killer coat.



Cute stuff.

Putting rat poison outside is especially silly. There are an unlimited number of rats outdoors. It's like thinking your bug zapper is going to somehow kill all the mosquitoes. If that's a problem, get some cats to piss on things and kill the rats.

It's not just Apple; Samsung and HTC are just as bad.

The sad thing is that you could easily pay all these people a decent wage and it would barely make a dent in their profit margins.

As for clothes, I try to buy locally made stuff as much as possible, but equally, I don't really care about clothes, so I hate spending money on expensive clothes (other than outdoor/sporting gear.... I spend stupid amounts on that )

I'm inclined to believe most of the audio is not of them actually playing, which is unfortunate. I'd have liked to hear their actual performance.

I was initially just surprised at the sound quality for that kind of outdoor setting with very little ambient and crowd noise. When the synchronized singing (from the crowd or "plants" in the crowd with their lip movement not matching up? um) became clearer, that's what really made me suspicious.
The acoustic quality sounds much more to me like a music hall than outdoors, as well.

@eric3579 I never had an issue with all the details of what he is doing -- couldn't care less about bow strength and armor. I was more curious if he is ACTUALLY DOING IT, or if this was some sort of CGI.

I did find this one article about him, posted Jan 2015, with these two quotes that spoke to my issues:

"This guy is the Clint Eastwood of archery," says Tim Wells, professional bow hunter and host of the TV show, Relentless Pursuit. "Or if I was talking to someone who had never shot a bow and arrow, I'd say he is the 'Bruce Lee playing ping pong of archery.' We have all played ping-pong and none of us can play with nun chucks — that's what this guy's skillset with a bow is comparable to. He's a badass."

Experts agree that the skills demonstrated in the video are unbelievable, but also completely real. "His skillset is tremendous," says Byron Ferguson, owner of the Bare Bow Archery School and star archer on the History Channel's show, Extreme Marksmen. "These shots are legitimate, despite some video editing. His speed is almost unbelievable."

I can't tell if they have met this guy or not, or if they, too, are just looking at the videos. That other "world record"? All I can find is more videos and nothing from Guinness or anyone else.

So at present, I am going to stay neutral as to whether this guy is for reals or not.

Where I live, in the boondocks of N Cal., we usually have a few days of power outage a year. On those rare occasions when there's an outage and a clear sky, we get to see this. There's nothing like sitting in your hot tub, looking up at the night sky FULL of stars, and watching the international space station get re-supplied, and noticing how many satellites cross it's path every orbit. I feel like we should have at least one 'blackout' night per year worldwide, where we do our best to not use outdoor lights in an effort to show this beautiful expanse of nature to those who never get to see it.

> I can imagine this replacing ALL outdoor lighting.

As long as they still build a pole to hold FIVE walls around and above the light source in order to not pollute the night sky.

Awesome technological *quality !
I can imagine this replacing ALL outdoor lighting. How cool would it be for street lights and signal lights to no longer require large poles, but just be a light floating in mid air 10 ft above? It could clean up metropolitan areas immensely, and remove many obstructions to taller vehicles/loads.
They just need to power up, add color, and stop the blinking so they don't trigger epileptics.

EDIT: My wife just pointed out that it's highly likely that we're now going see 'wacky wavy digital arm flailing tube men' on every corner once they commercialize this. :-(

Outdoor?

He cares not. In Chinese culture, getting pooped on by a bird means getting (hitch/marri)ed. I got pooped on as a teen(ager) in high school during outdoor lunch break, but I still have not gotten married.

Speaking of lawn mowing, here in California, it seems the government is playing a game of good old, "Heads, I win; tails, you lose:"

California homeowners threatened with a $500 fine for letting their lawn go brown (and thereby driving down the value of "their" own home) during the drought:

"On the same day the state approved mandatory outdoor watering restrictions with the threat of $500 fines, the Southern California couple received a letter from their city threatening a $500 penalty for not watering their brown lawn."

It seems that California has a specific (if unannounced to the public) policy of keeping housing prices inflated just to get people out of the state. (And of course, the state gets their $500 either way.)
