Don't get me wrong, he's talented but you'll never find anything of his on my ipod. Trance for life.


I listen and listened to allot of trance for last 14 years or so, To me so much of it is utter shit its almost not worth listening to all the "shit" to get to the good stuff.

seems to be an issue with allot of electronic music I guess because its easy to produce the basics but hard to make something iconic or sound really tight.

anyway lol I find it strange listening to trance when out the contrast between people doing every day boring shit and what I am listening to is to much , maybe if I was on mushrooms it would work better together.

You probably know about it already but if not you should check out www.DI.FM , They do play annoying adds and lack new content allot but in general its decent.

couple of issues with this
1) FUCKING CALL THE POLICE OR SUMONE FIRST BEFORE FILMING ( might have done this anyway )
2) IF FILMING KEEP THE ACTION IN FRAME
3) THE OTHER CAR COULD VEER RIGHT OR LEFT DONT DRIVE INLINE WITH IT YOU RETARDS
also it dosent matter that the people find it funny, finding something funny does not mean that you wont be pragmatic, productive or have empathy with people involved and consequences.

1. What if they don't have a cell phone with them?
2. You didn't pay him to keep it in frame. Infact, you didn't pay him at all!
3. How else do they attempt to keep the action in frame?
3b. Humor is often connected with hardship. They came to the conclusion that the driver was doing it intentionally. One of them mentioned that they wanted to see what would happen at a bridge. This isn't so they could see a bloody mess, but so they could see some more action with the drivers off-road skills. I doubt anyone in the car filming wanted to see this person kill or be killed. If only they read the newspaper from tomorrow, they may of acted better.


you didn't comprehend what I wrote granted I write like a retard but other people understood what I put

1) thats obvouse why would you make that piont bvously that logic is self containd in what i said , its also likely they r filming it on a phone in the first place as that's the most likely video camara people would have to hand in this situation ( WHAT IF THEY WERE ALL DEFF !!!! WHAT IF THEY HAD NO BATTERIES , WHAT IF THEY ALL HAD ERECTIONS THAT WAS BLOCKING THERE HANDS FROM POCKETS )

2) why does it matter if I paid them if you are going to go to the effort to film something should at least try and do a good job of it evan if its for themselfs

3) well what you do is you work out that you are moving around allot so you keep the shot zoomed out you then angle yourself as such so that the subject is kept in frame , the driver would also stay behind the car so that if it did veer off he would have time to react and this would allso let the guy filming film clearly people watch tv they should know these things from police chases film sequences and by generally thinking.


3b) you didn't understand what I said

are you fucking kidding 30 second advert fuck that.

Why aren't you using an ad blocker?


How could I then complain about adds ?

also if content is good and the add is not bullshit then I'm happy to have a small add pay the content provider for the work they have done.

-Good DNA
( just a dice roll if you are to born with or without any of the shit)
-Healthy food - preferably low calorie diet and diverse lots of frute vegetables , fish and small amounts of red meat.

-Daily low impact exercises

-Low stress environment ( probably due to wealth)

- low polution enviromnt thorgh life ( sum one living in a city or in a high povity area is unlikely to last to old old age)
-support infrastructure , family , friends , community

Those are the factors that allow for long life Its quite simple but the fact is you don't control allot of them so might as well just kill your self and be done with it.

I honestly think it could be up to 80% DNA.


lol probably although people in general are living longer due to healthy low stress living and good medical care but yah to be as fit as she is at that age she probably rolled the lucky dice.

There have been some interesting documentaries about age and how some islands of people live longer because there bodies have evolved due to the environment and food sources around them and that happens to coincidently benefit them for old age.

Lol what a retard !
takes the bibal litraly fail

Yeah, because Alice Cooper is broke and living in a box under a freeway, and doesn't have millions of bucks, fame etc...
There's a fail somewhere here (grammar, spelling and being a pretty terribad at trolling most likely), but it's not Alice Cooper, even if I believe he's deluding himself that a god actually exists.

So let me understand your reasoning here. Stop me if I get it wrong. You're saying that because Cooper has money and is for all intents and purposes a success, he can't be in error? Is that right?


Of course not, he might well be in error, but that doesn't automatically make a 'fail', particularly in the face of other successes in his life. I can disagree with his belief system without condemning him or making fun of him...

@westy
I think having only women in a video explicitly directed at male gamers communicates that only male gamers have weird attitudes towards women gamers. Which, if you've gamed for as long as I think you have, you realize is true--you never come across female gamers asking other female gamers if they're hot or to send pics of themselves.
@Gallowflak
I can't speak for the video's creators, but the message I took away from it is that the behavior continues because the community as a whole allows it to continue and takes a kind of "boys will be boys" attitude towards it all. They're asking the community to think about the issue a bit more and take a stand against it rather than just mute people who are being offensive. I think what they're hoping for is that the community as a whole does a bit of self-reflection.
I do all my online multiplayer on the PC (mostly FPS and RTS) and I got sick of the language and attitudes on the public servers a long time ago (literally years ago). When I play (which is admittedly not often now that I have a family) I usually only play on family-friendly servers that have an admin monitoring 24-7 (homophobic comments, griefing, and other undesirable behavior results in insta-banning). The only people who stick around are mature players just looking to have a good match (and occasionally their kids, who often are just as polite as their parents and often better players than the adults).
One thing I find interesting is that now that I live in Asia and connect to Asian (Japanese, Korean, Hong Kong, etc.) servers, I almost never see any of that undesirable behavior even on the public servers. It seems like the homophobic, misogynistic gamer is a Western cultural product. On the other hand, you will occasionally find racists on the Asian servers trash-talking other Asian groups.


I have had female gamers "hit" on me more than once and the thing is women dont / wont ask for images because often they are less focused on those aspects of attraction , a woman will fancy a guy because of accent , authroity , how friendly they are or some other querke and place more importance on that than raw looks of a guy ( compared to how heavily men way up looks and hence why men want to see an image of a woman) ( in general)

I have played with lots of women and met women on public servers and you get lots of women that game the men and play the men off each other just as much as the men ask for tits or GFO or other stupid shit. you allso get many women that are 100% down to earth easy going and dont hit on people or just converse in a normal way, the same with men.

for example there are just as manny anoying twatty kids/men online as there are nice normal people this video is just stupid and offers nothing to help the issue of discimination which happens to everyone.

I would definitely agree that there is more descrimination against women in general with games becuse its a male dominated thing at this piont in time , but the way for women to deel with it is to tell the men that are bing dicks to fuck off or simply be above it , Its very easy for women to find allies online and alie with non twat men and then game with resnable people.

As for a productive video if a woman made a video that was amusing clever or just showed a compitent woman bieng a woman then that would do far more to counter the discrimination.

Falicea Day comes to mind as a woman that is womany and promotes the image of women gaming in a non retarded and nomal way. But then you have people like Frag Dolls which are the apitomy of retardation.

I would say something like the tour de France would be miles harder in terms of general physical requirements and overall strain it puts on the body.
this looks like good fun if its the sort of thing you enjoy though.

The TDF requires that you pedal for hours and hours and hours...
The Tough Mudder requires that you run, and jump, and climb, and crawl, and strain, and struggle, and freeze, and overheat, and breathe, and hold your breath, and take electric shocks, and smash your ribs against hard surfaces, and scrape your elbows, and scrape your knees, and eat sand, and overcome your fear of heights and overcome your fear of tight places, and overcome your fear of fear and... and... and...
(Yes, speaking from experience.)


yah its a different sort of sport and in the end if you are doing something against other people you are going to be pushed to your limmit.

I was just getting at the aspect of overall physical drain if you had a strong man event that lasted 2 months then it would be in the same catagory as the TDR , in the end riders in the TDR have to pace themselfs to do the full race if you had a TDR that lasted one day then they would pace themselfs to that, same with this strong man event i guess part of the skill is knowing your energy recources and using them properly.

Ouch, only the real fall wasn't 350 feet, since the Rope snapped on the way back up, but still ouch...and crocodiles..yikes..

Yah I read about this lol its one of those things that media hyps till the point its 100% bullshit
as you say she probably fell less than 20m easily survivable even if you belly flopped it , as for the crocodiles the water was fast flowing and she was in the middle so it sunlikely they would have gotten her.
the only really remarkable thing about this is that the bunjee rope broke in the first place and that she was lucky she didn't drown / the water was deep enough to brake her fall.

Idk, it looks to me that the cord snaps pretty much as soon as it takes up tension. No doubt it would have slowed her down a bit but I can't imagine by much considering that it was only holding her weight for a fraction of a second.


As for the Crocs, well yes, I agree. The more significant risk was drowning, especially if she had been knocked unconcious from the impact. I'd say it was a pretty close call that didn't really need hyping up.

How do you mean? The Miessner effect is purely quantum mechanical, in that, there is no classical mechanics analog for this behavior. And you need wave functions to explain the physics at all. If you want to understand it you can read Yip and Sauls paper...
>> ^westy:
No more or less Quantum than anything else



My point was that ultimately everything is quantum.

This only seems more Quantum on the face of it because its a counter intuitive behivoir at a human scale.

I think there could probably be a better way to describe it such as "magnetic Super conductor Wipe out" , "Magnetic levitation wipe out " , " super conductor levitation track" in this case the word quantum just seems to be used as gimmic / buzz word.

Still if it gets people to read into science and makes them exited about it cnt really complane
