Take a chill pill, guy.

I didn't say that that link was ABOUT you, I said it made me think of your comment.

I agree. It was your response. And your response resonated in my mind when I read this PARODY PIECE.

I took the two as complementary, companion pieces, not as call and response.

Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I'm juss-fuckin' witcha orriteropo-I take license since yer Le Cargo's (whomever THAT is) #1 fan and yer favorite Videosift-graffiti project

OH, and because I can't stand the resonate frequency of most of their stuff...heheheheheheh-Le Cargo: Music for ladies with too many cats.


I don't mean to be so mean...........Yes I do.

Your video, Fox Using Magnetic Field Resonance to Target Prey, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

That is the crux, indeed. The cry from the "Generation of Entitlement" during Occupy just doesn't resonate with the masses of people employed in slave-like manufacturing conditions, penniless coffee growers that grow the beans that help the hipsters get out of bed every morning, or the astounding number living through absolute poverty, genocide or civil war.

The problem only grows worse. Occupy, although out of proportion with the global scope of inequality, brought much needed attention to the issue. I think the garment factory collapse in Bangladesh was another eye-opener for the west. Now, what to do about it all before the nukes get launched....

@enoch,

I think our gap is from very disparate world views and taking for granted we'll each work out for ourselves more than we do.

I used to really hang onto the saying that war is the ultimate failure of democracy. It resonated with me, and it seems to me that it's very much were you are coming from? Looking at history more and more though, I've come to see that saying is more the way we would wish our world to be, and not how it really is. Instead I see our history telling out the truth that diplomacy is the ultimate goal of war.

Peace is a fleeting and pretty much impossible state of existence for us it seems. The only time peace ever lasts is when war and conquest simply won't lead to greater gains than it. Time and time and time again history has shown that the only time war and violence weren't followed was when the gains from it were not worth the cost. How many times in history did an invading nation turn back because the other side stood back and refused to fight back? It just doesn't happen, get enough people united and they will use whatever method is to their greatest advantage, and all too often that is violence.

In Pakistan the taliban are making huge gains through violent repression of everyone that opposes them. It is extremely effective because those living in the region are unable to fight back for lack of unity and numbers. The Pakistani military meanwhile is unwilling to fight back, because they have more to gain by letting the taliban kill Pakistani civilians while the elected government is nominally 'in power'. Negotiation with the Taliban is impossible to my eyes unless and until their use of violence no longer benefits them. The fastest and surest way of accomplishing that is meeting them with that same force and ensuring they lose more than they gain with each attack.

It's a brutal, but also very simple assessment I think. It also leads to drone attacks being the one method of fighting back directly at them that leaves the least number of collateral casualties in it's wake. It takes more than a year for drones to kill as many people as the Taliban do in a month. Of those killed by drones, from 50-90%(depending who's counts you believe) are identifialy Taliban militants and leaders. That includes taking out the Taliban's top leader twice in the last 5 years with them, and if you include American actions in Pakistan in general, it nets Bin Laden as well.

I'd urge you not to take that as a western or American centric goal or objective. The thousands killed each month I list as justification and wanting protection for are nearly 100% Pakistani Muslims.

That's not a tank slapper that's a high-side!

A tank slapper is when the bars repeatedly flick violently from side to side due to a resonant oscillation

(for reference: off the brakes, don't fight the bars and accelerate gently out of it before changing your underwear)

This video however was a high-side: You accelerate too hard exiting a corner causing the rear to break traction and slide. When you come off the power this makes the rear wheel grip again suddenly causing the bike to violently flick back into line and throwing you up and out of the seat (and usually off the bike all together). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J4fdc_G2cA

Who says motorcycles are dangerous eh?

Remember, Rupert Sheldrake *actually believes* in psychic powers.

In this video he sets up a bunch of straw-men arguments to knock down. Just by using (and abusing) the language of science and framing it inwords like "dogma" that we associate with religion doesn't mean that anything else you have to propose has any validity.

He believes that by "morphic resonance" that "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind".

Hmmm. I'm waiting or your peer reviewed paper on this with interest.

Got a blackstar mini stack. Only 5 watts but all tube and makes a great sound.

Magic money fairy permitting, I'm going to replace the pickups in my electric and get a new crybaby.

Resonators are cool, would love to pick one up.

First guy has a great voice!
and resonator guitar at 2:40.... love it

I'm with you, but I must admit that the ONLY argument that gave me any pause was the one that goes "if he is practicing civil disobedience, he should WANT to get arrested and stand trial".

Real civil disobedience types like Martin Luther King Jr. and others intentionally broke laws (bullshit laws, but still laws) knowing full well that they would be arrested and go to jail. The point was to bring those terrible laws under public scrutiny and ideally ridicule. Point out how unfair they are. I think that people that take such actions are incredibly noble and selfless. To a certain degree, I think that the arguments that Snowden could or should follow that approach at least partially resonated with me.

But then, I considered some mitigating circumstances. IF Snowden had done that right out of the gate, he'd probably have been tossed in Gitmo for life without ever standing trial -- the administration has made it clear that they consider him an enemy of the state and that they are fine with the precedents of how such individuals are treated (ie., rights don't apply to you).

Basically, it boils down to respect. Dr. King Jr. hated some of the BS laws and social injustices in the South, but he respected the justice and good intentions of the US Government in general at the time. Snowden, on the other hand, had firsthand knowledge and proof that our government doesn't deserve such respect from us. They lie, they shit on the constitution, and they have the audacity to call him a criminal.

So, fuck them. They've pushed the line too goddamn far to expect civil disobedience; I think they clearly deserve every bit of blowback they get in the form of uncivil disobedience. Hell, I hope that Snowden has enough more dirt that he can turn the dial up to 11 and get into downright nasty disobedience if the government steps a single corrupt toe out of line in their attempts to extradite him back to their bullshit kangaroo courts.

That tiger moan/growl resonated through my desk.

I have wanted one of these for ages. AGES. I want one so bad. Not even a proper musician, but if I could get my hands on one I'd spend every weekend chilling in a local public park and just hammering away the gentle resonances of love.
Amazing instrument.

This is one of the standard methods for investigating sound production in vertebrate animals. You can also hook up electrodes to the muscles surrounding the vocal folds to study how they are involved in modulating the sound.
The trachea functions as a resonant structure. By pulling on it, he is increasing the volume of that structure and lowering its tuning.

Ive seen several physics lecturers from diff uni's use the tacoma narrows event as an example leading into resonance lessons. Its pretty cool

Resonance......look up the tacoma narrows bridge collapse for an idea on a much larger scale
