It was 100% dead on for my life.

Married wrong person, sucks it took child and nasty divorce, child support I couldn't afford, my job going out of business. Debtors prison for unpaid child support. My plan out was file disability it was approved, medicare pad my child support and I'm free again and a misogynist, my ex a misandrist she disappeared with son, last I saw him he was 2, he would be 16 now and he doesn't know me and I can't find him.

I'm now dying of heart failure and will never see or know my son nor him me and if my ex was in front of me I'd murder her.

This video is definitely spot on.

Comedy central *backup=[...snipped...] for when and if this one goes dead

OUCH-OUCH-OUCH-OUCH-OUCH-OUCH!
Dude, they invented these things called knee pads! You might want to look into them.
Ballsy!

You gotta love Palmer's honesty. "... your gaming headphones are garbage, sorry..." "Traditional game pads are not good virtual reality input devices, you really need something better. Anyone who's ever used a keyboard and mouse can tell you, game pads just don't stack up, they're pretty shitty."

I mean, it's all true of course, and nothing new, but it's refreshing to hear people in his position (something of a leader figure in the industry) to say it out loud. =)

The sound we hear hasn't got anything to do with the drums played in the video, other than faint thuds from hitting the pads - watch the drum fill at 0:29 - he plays a drum fill, but we still hear the regular drums from the original track.

As well - even if this was a "proper" rock band recording, you'd only trigger the pre-recorded sounds anyway, save for the odd drum fill.

For a Rock Band session to qualify as a livemusic, in my opinion, you'd have to overdub the drums with the sounds generated from a proper drumkit - electronic or acoustic.

And yes, I own and play rock band myself - I have an Alesis Dm10 kit hooked up with MIDI for proper drums, the Rock Band Keyboard for proper keyboard and the Fender Squier plastic fantastic "Strat" for MIDI guitar. It is especially fun with friends and beer.

I'd totally switch the ball (subtly via slight of hand) with a heavy padded ball, pull it away with a little force so it comes back and smacks me, then smash a few ketchup packets all over my face and roll around on the ground screaming.

Good thing I'm not a professor...

Check out the photo about halfway down the page of the woman kicking the padded attacker.

Very powerful, very safe position to fight from if your assailant is a single, unarmed assailant. From the ground position, you can easily pivot, keeping your foot high and between you and the assailant.

They grab your foot? Let them. Pivot and bring your other foot up and kick them in the head while they keep themselves nice and close to you.

I get this a lot from Dell, huge box, lots of padding etc, one tiny cable or part...

My favourite was a person that ordered 36 replacement server case screws from Compaq. It arrived on a palette, each screw in a zip lock baggie, in a foam padded box, inside another box, then those 36 boxes inside another larger box, then that strapped to the palette.

Utter bullshit from radical left.

Turn off your electricity, stop diving, forget the bicycle, it has rubber tires and oil based seat, grips and pads.

If you hate oil stop buying things that are made from oil and go live in a cave

These comments are fun. Sounds like a bunch of old men, sitting on the porch yelling at the kids on the street.

"Stop foolin' around with that wood out there. Don't jump your bicycles over that! Get out of the road!!"

Take risks when you're young because the negative consequences are mostly restricted to your own stupid self. Later in life you'll have too many responsibilities and obligations. We've given up a lot in our modern societies. By sanitizing and padding our life experiences, we've lost the connection to the deep animal part of our brain.

There are still places in the world, even first world industrialized nations, where public ritual includes personal risk. Community celebrations that tap into our hidden animal instinct with displays that overwhelm all the senses. This is a powerful way to build a deep sense of tribalism and community, to draw people together into a supportive whole.

Tomorrow many of us will enjoy the July 4th celebrations. Sitting comfortably in our folding chairs with portable BBQs and coolers; behind ropes and guard rails designating a safe area to stand...emergency response vehicles in attendance. We'll enjoy our safe, convenient family activity then curse the traffic on the way home, inside steel boxes with triple air bags. Later on we'll feel slightly unsettled by the neighbor kids setting off bottle rockets around the block. Somewhere else in the world, they'll light a bonfire the size of your house and sing songs while they watch the young people trying to see how far they can walk into the flames. They'll feel the heat, see the light up close, sense danger and ultimately give up a piece of themselves to the crowd and the untamed thing that lies below sensibility.

I'll take the bonfire please.

Padding? Who needs any padding!

Also it's not a outdoors gym. It's a kids playground. But with all the anti-theft chains welded on, they only ones who can play there are weightlifters.

I love the explination that it can't work because eventually the hexagonal pads would create uneven roads due to the material below them eroding away, then goes on to explain that asphalt does a fantastic job of A) Creating a uniform surface to drive on, and B) it's durable.

...Why wouldn't we just put the Hexagons over the asphalt then?

I have to agree with other by saying this video has an incorrect title. it should read "Really cool old and not idiot proofed elevator".

There is nothing essentially dangerous about this elevator. It just does not have airbags, voice instructions, seat belts, padded walls, signs in 12 languages, or free helmets. I would love to have something like this in a building I work/live in.
