Your Brain on LSD and Acid

shagen454 says...

Yeah, it's been a while for me too. The best one I remember was living off Valencia street in the Mission district of San Francisco. I dropped, went to sleep for a hour and woke up and the floors literally had mist flowing through the apartment like some sort of ethereal fantasy movie. When I went outside the fence was waving/bending in a mesmerizing way and the houses were continually sinking into the ground. I looked at some flowers and they were infinitely growing. The best part was looking in the mirror, it was like one of those youtube videos where someone takes a photo of them-self every day for a year - every second it was like a different photo of myself except very organic watching myself grow old, bald and with a beard and then back to normal, lol. It was fun, but I'd never do it again without some anti-anxiety pills around for the last 6 hours which I found to be fairly annoying. Plus, as Shpongle puts it "LSD? Do DMT."

Protecting and serving by automobile

Mordhaus says...

Sorry, the guy had been involved in violent crimes, was armed with a high powered rifle, fired the rifle in the air, pointed it at police, and one of the officers took a chance in taking him down before he hurt himself or others.

People don't understand that they could have simply shot him as soon as he pointed the gun at a cop, with just cause. The fact that the guy lived, and will most likely use this to sue the city and make out like a bandit, is pretty much a win win for him. His lawyer is just blowing it up to make more bank in the lawsuit.

Copy pasta of salient facts, remember, these are in addition to shooting the rifle and pointing it at a cop.

At 6:45 a.m., Valencia robbed a 7-Eleven in Tucson with a metal object in his hand. Authorities said he was dressed only in his underwear. He was charged with theft.

A little more than an hour later, police said, Valencia set a fire at a church for which he was charged with arson of an occupied structure.

Just after that he entered a home and stole a car, police said.

Authorities said he drove to a Walmart where he stole a .30-30 rifle and ammunition. He fled the store with Walmart employees in pursuit.

The Seller of Smoke

I asked someone with more knowledge in this area than I have, and the clothing looked like what you would expect from Spain around the time of the first world war. The toys look like they would date, at the earliest, from the 1920s or 1930s... the era of Buck Rogers style rocket ships.

The animation school where this film was made is in Valencia, in Spain, and maybe the students imagined a rural village from their grandparents' or great grandparents' era?

Odd...the clothing and the town looked like they were from the 17th-18th century, but he was giving the kid airplanes and rockets to play with.

Ridiculous Electric Bike is Oddly Classy and Compelling

conan says...

I really wanted to see it take on a Tall Starbucks Mocha Valencia pothole or maybe a half Venti Toffee Nut Latte curb.



ROFL :-D

but judging from the shaking movements of his hands i don't think that thing is a very stable ride. And because the price is in the range of a segway, it has to compete with that. If i had to decide between the two i would definitively go for the segway.

I bet it's a lot cheaper if you don't get the green lightcycle option.

If you go to http://www.yikebike.com/site/gallery and watch "Testing Video #1" you'll see how it handles common urban and suburban obstacles (potholes, gravel, puddles, curbs). What I found hilarious is that they use the iphone as a unit of measurement. One of the potholes is about half an iphone deep and the curb is a little more than half an iphone.

Airbag Vest Testing for Motorcycle Racing

antonye says...

This is the Dainese D-Air system which has been in testing for over 10 years.

It was recently tested in anger by Marco Simoncelli in 250 cc class at the Valencia GP.

It looked like it worked well. Although critical injuries are thankfully few in professional bike racing, the development of this product should hopefully make it available for road/street riders and thus save numerous lives.

Would like to know where everyones from (Sift Talk Post)

San Francisco Street Art

betamaxx says...

most of those are located in the mission i believe. there is a great alley full of amazing stencils/murals located in the mission near valencia i think it is (it may be near 19th though). i remember it's near this great shoe store and good vibrations. also the castro and the haight have sweet murals as well. my favorite city. oh, and when you visit don't forget to pop into 826 valencia to check out the pirate store/writing workshop and taqueria cancun on 19th and mission (best burritos EVER).

Robert Capa Documentary - In Love and War (1:23 hr)

Farhad2000 says...

This is a PBS American Master Series documentary covering the life of Robert Capa.

Robert Capa (Budapest, October 22, 1913 – May 25, 1954) was possibly the most famous war photographer of the 20th century. He covered five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War. Capa documented the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy, the Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris.

From 1936 to 1939, he was in Spain, photographing the horrors the Spanish Civil War. In 1936, he became known across the globe for a photo he took on the Cordoba Front of a Loyalist Militiaman who had just been shot and was in the act of falling to his death. Because of his proximity to the victim and the timing of the capture, there was a long controversy about the authenticity of this photograph. Historians eventually succeeded in identifying the dead soldier as Federico Borrell García, from Alcoy (Valencia) and proved it authentic.
