1988: Is this James Brown's strangest interview ever?
One of PWEI's best jams!
Augusta, Georgia, late September,
One Mr. Brown's hot tempeed,
This man's possessed, he's restless,
Armed and dangerous, drugged and reckless.
Mrs. Brown you've got a lovely son
But he's on the run on a shotgun mission
"Listen here cocksuckers, motherfuckers, pay respect to my building.
It's JB property and it could be the one you get killed in."
Cops arrive, "What's this, what's happening,
What's what, where's the hot shot?"
James pressed his luck too far this time,
His pick-up truck's flat out and flying.
Cops get excited and grin with glee;
They got themsevles a celebrity!
7 cars give chase "You're in the clear, this is the race of the year!"
"Faster Soul Master, they're coming at you from all directions,
Speed's your protection...Don't look behind you 'til south Carolina"
Cops spring a roadblock "He ain't gonna stop!"
"He's gonna take a pop!"
Someone opens fire, the trucks front tyres are blown out
"Get the hell out!"
As six mile skid, trapped in a ditch,
In the lap of the FBI, the Secret Service,
The Russians, "they're all in this, they're doing it to James
Like they did it to Elvis"
A "good-foot" dance in a dusted trance
Breath tested "No Chance!" Arrested!
Not Now James, We're Busy
Overhead Cam at 14K RPM
Those springs must be hard as rocks to be able to rebound at that speed.
This really could use a few seconds of super slow motion close up. I want to see the oil vaporize.
How Nestle Makes Billions Bottling Free Water
Hate to be that guy again, but I can't help myself.
So, the accusation is that extracting underground water in high enough volume has ruined the water levels in the rivers. The video however, presents multiple anecdotes from locals as 'evidence'. Including even pointing at a high water mark by a bridge/culvert. You know, in a creek that rises and falls heavily between spring melt and fall.
The lack of any meaningful evidence really skews me to classing this as propaganda over documentary. No effort what so ever was made to prove the allegation that Nestle's operations are influencing creek/river water flow.
Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas (Sift Talk Post)
Yeah, it has been a rough couple of years. Lost both of my dogs a few months apart (cancer) in 2016. Lost my mom last spring.
Kinda lost my spirit. Recovering, but all this hit really, really hard, and I am still sad and feeling lost.
TED Talk: Whitopia
It's pretty much the same all over the world. I do not believe Whitopias are a bad thing. No one ever criticizes China Towns that spring up where ever populations of Chinese choose to live. Each of my own residences are within expat communities. I guess I'm just trying to make myself feel better.
Ask Adam Savage Anything: Favorite Things to Take Apart
The first thing I ever took apart was my mom's stapler.
Sounds simple, but the way the springs are positioned inside made it impossible to put back together....
It was also the first time I was caught for disassembling things around the house.
I don't think my mom knows to this date that just about everything we owned had been disassembled and put back together - sometimes more than once.
Unboxing w/ Joe Arpaio - Who Is America?
I think the point of the show, to prove how gullible and utterly thoughtless the right has become, willing to go along with any nonsense that seems to support their side, is a bit old hat. Didn't Trump prove this conclusively in 2016 and almost daily since?
Where was this show in Spring 2016 when it might have made a difference?

CeramicSpeed 99% Efficient Drive Shaft // Chain Free Bike
The basic action is, but not the mechanism.
My idea....think spiral channels inside the tube with the cog shown attached to a piston that rides in the spiral channels. As you turn it and force is transferred, it forces the piston forward because the spiral turns rotational force into linear force. With a spring, you apply an opposing linear force so the piston only moves when those forces are unbalanced. This spring could be tunable so you select where the balance point of those forces is, thus selecting the maximum force you could apply before it changes gears for you. When there's more force applied, it "lowers" the gear, when less it automatically goes up a gear. No electronics or battery required.
At 4:20 of the vid i linked he shows what i think you are asking about.

CeramicSpeed 99% Efficient Drive Shaft // Chain Free Bike
I thought this lends itself to a spring loaded spiral shaft automatic transmission, where the more torque applied, the more it compresses the spring towards the front crank, lowering the gear you're in. This could be adjustable, allowing a rider to select how hard they want to pedal and automatically adjusting the gears to keep that force stable at any speed.
A second gear in the rear, rotating in the opposite direction and sandwiching the drive gear, would go a long way towards stopping slippage and gear wear. They certainly need to ditch the aluminum gears, though.
Just what sprang to mind when I saw it.
I'm curious to see what mechanism they use to change gears.
I think my cat is broken
I'm saying one of the leaf springs broke in front of the axle. Had a '78 F350 with the exact same symptoms.
That's a gearing problem, looks like his transfer case or front differential is broken.
The front just wasn't engaging properly, making the rear end hop.
John Oliver - Mike Pence
Legal, yes. Culturally accepted, not so much, slavery always had cultural opposition by the non ruling class. Natural, WTF?! Show me an example of pure non human slavery (not harems, not parasites) and I'll discuss it.
Granted, I don't know exactly how they measured, but his gene expression is what they measured, not his pure DNA. This goes to my point, that environment determines how your DNA is expressed, so twin studies are flawed from the onset by thinking they begin identical, they don't. They don't even start with identical DNA, just close.
"Genes and the environment", but not pure gene study....at least not like people think. People think twins are carbon copies, so one can be a control to study effects of what they're studying. That's not quite right. Certainly they are useful in genetic studies, but not that way. From before birth, they diverge in how nearly identical DNA is expressed. They might be good for finding what genes/traits need closer scrutiny, but only with large samples.
Grounds for individuals to (privately) discriminate, perhaps, but not (public) businesses....at least not in America. Our national identity is a melting pot of cultures, intolerance for the different is antithetical to that idea.
Gender, nope, you can totally choose that now.
Race, many people change their racial identity...Rachael Dolizal comes to mind....as does the term "passing".
Ethnicity, people pass as ethnic groups they weren't born into, sometimes unknowingly, daily.....again, Dolizal springs to mind.
So, I'll argue that all you mentioned for all intents and purposes are today often the result of free will and not beyond the control of every individual, but a full grasp of brain chemistry and design and well understood methods to change them are well beyond our current knowledge, so their behaviors and actions are, in part, out of their control and not the result of free will but of brain construction.....now what?

The 1940s Mermaid Show That's Still Pulling Crowds
Visited there during a trip to Florida as a kid. I probably had more fun on the rides at Busch Gardens, but my memories from Weeki Wachee Springs had greater staying power.
What I remember most from Universal Studios that trip is long line ups.
Curiosity at Martian Scenic Overlook
"I love how you can see Peace Vallis."
Looks like I-15 just outside Halloran Springs to me...
Fear No Weevil: Taking on the World’s Worst Weed
Nutria don't die off every winter, so the weevils are likely to be less of a problem. There was actually a small scale trial before they built the weevil greenhouses, which didn't uncover any major issues with them.
See https://features.texasmonthly.com/editorial/creature-green-lagoon/ for many more details including the lack of frost tolerance:
I hope this goes better than the introduction of nutria, which Texas did to combat other invasive water weeds. They are now a major problem, causing massive erosion problems and displacing naive species. It makes me wonder what problems these weevils are going to cause in 10 years....how many native plants will they eat to extinction?
