That's a very interesting video. He's making lovely, handmade electronics, something you just don't see at all any more.

It's at times an almost painfully inefficient process. Robots are taking a lot of jobs from people, but I think there will always be a market for such hand made, hand crafted goods. Each one is different. They're a little wonky, a little taller, shorter, whatever. A machine would make them much better in every objective way. Faster, more consistent and more reliable. But it could never give them the charm they so obviously have.

I could watch/listen to this guy all night, he's great

It's not the value of the safe that's important, it's the value of the contents. If you've only got stuff worth $173 you're probably not going to buy a safe worth that much to keep it in...

Genius! Make it water and the wood floats. (Same effect as mine but feels a lot more relevant to the question).

Problem 1: Tip toward the wood, as the wood will lose more buoyancy from the air than the lead.

As for the extreme case here, let's use the helium balloon. You tie the helium balloon to the right hand side of the scale. Now, to get the bar on the scale horizontal (balanced) you need to hang the lead weight closer to the fulcrum but on the right hand side of the scale too.

Now remove the air.

The balloon was only pulling up because of the air. Without the air it will hang down. So, we now have two things hanging down on the same side of the scale, so it's very obvious which way the scale will swing...

Problem 2: pi*20m Circumference = pi*diameter. Poles increase diameter by 20m. Really not sure where the 'extreme case' comes into this though?

It is mind boggling that people in this day and age can even consider doing anything other than completely embracing science. Our world is utterly dependent on science. Everything have use, everything we interact with, everything is here because of science. How can there be a war on science? It just doesn't make any sense.

But it's here. It's absolute madness, but it's here.

Interesting but it bugs me that the first example, the square, she does sub-optimally. Make the first fold corner to corner, then the second fold in half in line with the other corner then cut. Two folds, one cut. She does three folds one cut.

I'm amazed snopes is still saying undetermined. These look absolutely nothing like ants. They don't move like ants, they don't look like ants. It's CG, that's all. It would be easy to replicate this if it was true.

It's fucking tragic. The family got a $16,500,000 payout from the station, but I'm sure they'd much rather just have their mum back.

"Those people that are drinking all that water can get sick and possibly die from water intoxication," Brooks said, to which disc jockeys replied they "were aware of that" and that contestants had signed a release "so we're not responsible."

The organisers openly said that they knew it could kill the contestants but they don't care because they signed wavers so it's their fault if they die!

What? I even quoted you saying it.

Here, I'll quote it again:

"people like this, who are intentionally pretending to be threats"

How on earth is this anything other than you saying he's pretending to be a threat. This is a direct quote from you. I'm not inventing anything here.

Here's an idea. If you don't want people saying you said something, don't fucking say it. Especially in written form so everyone can see exactly what you said.

EDIT: Before the inevitable "I said he was pretending, not that he actually was a threat" bollox, how is he even pretending to be a threat? Nothing about this is threatening. Nothing. You brought up the threatening bit, so I'd like to know what is threatening about the guy filming. What is he pretending to do that's threatening?

What on earth are you talking about? How on earth is this guy being any kind of threat?

How is anyone making excuses for the police here?

So fucking what if he was trying to provoke a reaction? His reasons for filming the police like he did don't come into it at all. So what if the officers didn't like it and so what if he did it for this reason.

I don't see how any of this is relevant. This is a video of a person acting completely legally and within his rights and being arrested just because the police didn't like it.

So what if it's provoking, the police should be trained to be able to deal with a provocative situation. You know what would have ended this? The police doing their jobs and ignoring him. That's what should have happened.

Being rude isn't against the law. It's not OK for police to arrest someone for being rude. The only thing this guy was doing was filming the police and people think that's wrong? Or he didn't answer their questions? He's allowed to do that. It's OK. How can you say he was acting like a tool? He did nothing wrong.

The police are supposedly trained individuals. They shouldn't be reacting to provocation, especially when it's so passive as this example. This guy is hardly pushing his luck here. He made no threats to the officers, he didn't do anything even remotely violent or threatening he just exercised his rights. So the police didn't like it, so what?

Fucking apologists. The law is what it is and the police should be held to a high standard regarding it. They should do their job. Let's get this straight, what they did here was arrest someone just because they didn't like what he was doing, even though what he was doing was perfectly legal. That should disgust you, it really should. It shouldn't be OK because you think the guy was being a bit of a dick. That's not relevant because being a bit of a dick shouldn't get you arrested. It's only an excuse if you think that it's not unreasonable for the police to arrest people they just don't like.

Both mechanisms involve wheels, but beyond that there's no similarity. The bike would still stay upright if the tyres had no width at the point of contact with the ground, so there was no increase nor decrease in the diameter of the wheel as the bike leaned.

I like the twist at the end. Buying a really expensive bottle for a special occasion will actually make you experience a better taste. Our experience of the world is so subjective.

I love how amazed he is by everything he finds. It's all amazing stuff, getting an astronaut on the space station to do your video outro is very cool, and he's been doing this for a long time now but you can just tell how excited he is about it all
