Bee extinction: Why we're saving the wrong bees

noims says...

Very interesting, and the kind of thing more people should know. A little long for the information they give, but still worth a *promote

The Plane That Will Change Travel Forever

noims says...

Really interesting. Like @StukaFox I was thinking about the window issue. I've heard that one reason window shutters need to be open at take-off and landing is so emergency crews can look in as well as cabin crew looking out.

One funny point of wording too. At 13:24 when talking about sensor failure he says how redundancy in design is so necessary. In light of this I found it funny that his conclusion regarding pressure vessel structure at 22:37 was that having a hardened skin around an arched pressurised section is a waste because it makes the internal section entirely redundant. OK, so I agree with him on both points, it just made me smile.

Parents Read of books from the LCPS Library

noims says...

4-5 examples from one book, plus a single quote about a girl wanting a big dick from a second (written by a woman, incidentally). I assume that these were pretty much the best examples they could find.

I do agree that if the school board spent 1.8 million dollars on these books that would be a waste, but I somehow doubt that happened.

Explaining Pink Floyd's First Masterpiece

noims says...

It's taken me four attempts to watch this video. Not because it's hard to get through, I just keep realising a few minutes in that I'm just singing along to that amazing song and amn't listening to a word the guy's saying about it.

It's been my go-to song for testing music gear for decades now, as well as my go-to when I'm feeling chill, feeling down, feeling like I want to feel something or nothing, or just want to dream.

I think Echoes is my duvet made audible.

Radiohead's "Videotape" is weird and amazing

noims says...

I just love hidden secrets in art, especially when it's done purely for the sake of the trick. It makes so much sense in retrospect, even though most of the trick still completely eludes me.

Definitely worth a *promote - if this is going to be stuck in my mind for a while it can stick in the sift too.

IS CORN GRASS? RiffTrax

Why you can't compare Covid-19 vaccines

noims says...

I've seen a few people expressing doubts and spouting stats recently, but I've been skeptical so it's good to have a counter-argument. Obviously I'm not going to take this at its word either, but *promote.

Sociopath vs Psychopath - What's The Difference?

noims says...

To answer his question, I don't know any psychopaths, but I know someone who voted for one.

OK, I apologise. That's an exaggeration. I don't know anyone who voted for him.

Police Slashing Tires At Protests

noims jokingly says...

It's OK, everyone. It's just a few bad apples. That all happened to have the same idea. And be teamed up with other bad apples.

Other than the ones you specifically see on video, the rest are all fine upstanding members of the force.
