Not sure if they have it set up like they do elsewhere and the way other companies do it (like Time Warner/Spectrum did here in Austin), but most of these workers will likely be contractors and the only relation to Comcast they will have is the name on the trucks.

The modus operandi was, and maybe still is, issue an apology, fire the specific contractor, and hire another. When these people go to sue Comcast, their lawyers will tell them that the people were not directly employed by Comcast and therefore are culpable separately. Then you get into the whole hassle of trying to track down the contractor, who usually disappears and reappears under a different name.

I remember getting pissed at Time Warner (pre-sellout) because one of their people trespassed on my property and left my gates open. Fortunately my dogs didn't leave, but they could have. He had right of way to cross one gate because their pole is considered part of the 'easement' to the utility company's equipment. The second gate was padlocked and he cut it off because he didn't have a proper ladder to reach the pole, I assume. I called them and they first tried to BS me that the easement covered both gates, but I told them I had the surveyors confirm it didn't when I redid the fence the year before. Then they said that they weren't the direct employer and the guy was a contractor. I asked for info and they gave me his company name only after I complained to a supervisor. His company had a web page, but none of the numbers worked and the 'business address' is basically a knife sharpening shop in central Austin. Time Warner apologized when I called back, but the most they could do was give me a couple of free months service.

I'm thinking it may be you. I can see the options. Although they do disappear after a second of the video playing and don't appear at all until i start the video, but it's always been that way im pretty sure. Have to scroll over the video for them to reappear.

Of course maybe im misunderstanding what you're referring to as im not sure what 'on embeds' is about.

The appearance of larger than average waves is a known statistical phenomena to sailors---or should be. Looks like these guys might want to learn about the same rules (especially the two guys that reappears in the channel at 47 seconds)

So, if there are regular 10 foot waves, you should plan with startling regularity, on running into 20-25 foot high waves that will appear to come "out of nowhere"

This translates, BTW, into prudent navigation; since you know that waves start to "break" when the bottom is half the depth of the wave height, in a 10 foot swell, you should stay in water 25 feet deep with your boat unless you want the way-to-frequent for comfort big wave to come crashing down on top you as it "breaks" rather than sliding underneath your boat.

The most recent sailing accident attributable not following this rule was the sinking of the sailboat "Low Speed Chase" off the coast of the Farallon Islands (San Francisco Bay)---when she shaved a corner and ventured into the shallows and was crushed and sank by a breaking wave---(drowning some of her crew and the captain).

Bad-AssssSSS! Jw's Jesus got staked and disintegrated!! He's so 'pissed that when reappears he'll slaughter everyone but the faithful Jehovah witnesses...all 144, 000 of em!! I'm FUCKED

Different culture, different times, different aesthetic values. There is plenty of virtuostic writing and playing in contemporary styles. Is it musical? Does it add to the whole of the piece? I'd say yes to both in this case.

Lyrics:
The ocean, too, appears to swallow
the vessel that you see
shattered by the storm.

Then it reappears, and it seems
to be raised by the stars.

Ok... she is pretty amazing... but what an absurd song... You can pretty much tell that some composer decided... "'I'm going to write this to sound ridiculous hard to sing... as well as pretty much just sounding ridiculous...".
I don't know... maybe someone with an ear for opera can tell me i'm crazy but find listening to that painful.

So if it was a dead pixel why does it disappear behind her head and then reappear as she moves her head left and right and then stay stationary in the same exact place even after she is whisked away. Sorry but it looks a bullet hole to me. Damn close too.

Watch just above her left ear at 0:05 and a dot appears which seems to coincide with the sound of a muffled pop....

Don't be silly, it's obviously a dead pixel. <eye roll>



Back. And to the left.

What's with the black lightsaber? It's pretty badass, actually.


[WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!]

It's a darksaber, a sort of ancient prototype lightsaber that was stolen by Mandalorians and thought lost. It reappeared in the second season of the clone wars in the possession of the Mandalorian Pre Vizsla (who appears in this trailer).

I've only watched up to the 3rd season. Some episodes were pretty cool but it's been hit or miss for me. I find the show to be at its finest when it hints at Anakin's dark side, like when he (unbeknown-st to the other Jedi) uses the Force to torture a prisoner for information in order to save the life of his Padawan.

This season looks like it's going to rock, though. I might have to go rent Season 4.

Yeah, fake. The kid disappears and then reappears magically from one spot to the other. 0:30 in the slow mo replay, as others have pointed out.

Is the video messed up for anyone else? When it shatters it reappears for a second and blurs a bit and then disappears again.

Got a man, call him my boyfriend
Think Im falling in love
Only man that gives me things
That I am worthy of

Hugs me and holds me, kisses my softly
Calls me back right away
Communicates his feelings to me
And cares what I have to say

He says: Baby I love you, baby I need you
Never gonna let you go
Writes me love notes, takes me shopping
And to Broadway shows

Talk to him like he is a girlfriend
Slumber party every night
Ive never been so happy before
Hes almost Mr. Right

But I think hes hot and I think hes sweet
And I think hes gay and I think hes neat
Okay okay said my boyfriends gay
But what does it matter anyway
He hasnt come out of the closet yet
Til then Ill take all I can get

He doesnt think I know but I know
I know Ive always known
He doesnt think it shows but it shows
For sure its always shown
You might think its a little sad
But hes the best lover that Ive ever had

At night when were lying in bed hes not hard
Its okay cause he gives me head
Like my mum always said it takes more
Than a pound to be good in bed
You dont know the meaning of rock your world
Til youve been with a guy who thinks like girl

He lies and says that hes on meds
Thats why hes never stiff
When I ask if hes not into me
He always says As if!

But the way he makes up for his shortcomings
Just could not be finer
Cause my new best friend is his tongue
And his is my vagina

He reappears from under the covers
Lookin like hes been to war
Hes drenched in sweat he catches his breathe
Then he heads back down for more

Afterwards hes never tired
He just wants to talk
And cuddle me until I sleep
Then he takes his dog for a walk

Someday hell come out and Ill be happy for him when he does
But I know Ill be sad and I'll be thinking of what was
Someday this fairy tale will come to an end
Cause his fairy tail will find a like minded friend

He doesnt think I know but I know
I know Ive always known
He doesnt think it shows but it shows
For sure its always shown
You dont need no penetration
When you got a good dose of overcompensation

At night when were lying in bed hes not hard
Its okay cause he gives me head
Like my mum always said it takes more
Than a pound to be good in bed
You dont know the meaning of slot machine
Til youve been with a king who thinks like a queen

I know it's not forever but that's okay
Cause I'm his girlfriend, and he's my gay!

TYT's narrative was that an overzealous wanna be cop chased an African American kid down and shot him. The 911 call seems to bear that out. The cops told Zimmerman to stop running, but you can tell he continues to run because of the sound of air wooshing against the cell phone.


To me, the screams for help sound more like a child than a man. It would probably be easy to analyze the audio to determine whose voice it really was. Likewise, they could probably also take a look a Zimmerman's injuries to see if they are legit and not self inflicted after the fact. It seems unlikely to me that a small kid could (or would want to) overpower a large man. It also seems strange that Zimmerman claims the kid dissappears and then reappears out of nowhere to ambush him. And the 'do you have a problem? well you do now' line sounds fabricated, like something out of an action movie.

Zimmerman's story sounds bogus to me. He is fighting for his life, after all. I'd probably make stuff up too if I was in Zimmerman's shoes.

Although I enjoyed your discussion home cinimas are infinetly better than going out to watch a film evan if you only have a 42" 2 year old LCD tv and bog standard surround sound system.

maybe you have super awesome cinemas where you are but in the uk there is always something objectively wrong and not in a "charming way" ( listed above in my other comment )

Skipped through it. Stunning cinematography. Hope nobody wants to go see it with me so that I can enjoy it on blu-ray. Here's a big fuck you to almost everyone at the movies who won't stop talking and kicking my seat. Even the people I go to movies with manage to annoy me to hell and distract me from the movie with their weird stunts. The person I went to see Captain America (mediocre film, good comic-book movie) with fricking disappeared for the last 20 minutes of the movie. When they reappeared afterwards they said "when I went to the bathroom I didn't want to pass in front of the audience again so I just sat over here." Meanwhile I spent the entire last 20 minutes wondering where the hell they were, and I'm sure the people in the seats around their new seat were also scratching their heads. Just come back to your fucking seat.

True, the theatrical experience can suck sometimes (and your friend is a weirdo), but no home theatre can match the experience of seeing a great movie on the big screen. That's why, even as home theatre technology gets better and better, I'll never stop going to the movies.
