That's a pity. People might actually VOTE for Romney! With Santorum, we had nothing to worry about

I think this kind of thinking was actually quite dangerous. There are a LOT of people who are going to vote republican just because they want to vote against Obama. To assume that they wouldn't have voted in a crazy like Santorum is just as naive as when people thought that Bush Jr. couldn't win.


Firstly, ever heard of Swing voters? You know, people who aren't aligned with either Republican or Democrat and may vote based on candidate.
Secondly, "dangerous"? What like looking into the mirror and saying "Bloody Mary" three times... or worse, "Biggie Smalls"? But I do forget voting isn't mandatory in your crazy country
Third and most importantly, it was a joke

The report is from Pakistan and the language is Urdu
India/Pakistan, same thing almost.


It's even funnier if you know what they're saying:

-----------------
Anchorwoman:
... what do you see out there and how is the fervor amongst the youth regarding new years night?

Reporter:
The young ones are out shouting slogans whilst the police is trying to clear the street. When it was 12 o'clock people started dancing a lot of bhangra, chanted "Long live Pakistan", they even shot guns into the air, the police also baton charged the crowd, and people shot more guns into the air.... *whack!*

Achorwoman continues as if it's not a biggie: Well there you are ladies and gentlement so and so reporter informing us about people celebrating new years.
------------------

*This btw was that last report in the news that's always a 'general interest story'.

Maybe it's a language barrier, but I can't really tell what's happening in this reportage. I think I need to rewind and see it about 15 more times, in ever slower-mo. Maybe then I'll see what's going on.

Well this peace is so deep in subtext , I definitely think think its a valid commentary on the class system in India.

I found that apology to be more of an indirect insult, so i can't in all fairness accept it.

I made my second post after you made your tirade against me, and before you made this post. It was not meant to stir anything further.

Regardless, i'll leave it alone if you do.

is that what you feel i am doing?
then i apologize.
because normally it is not something i tend to worry about.i really dont care.i post what i like.if you like it..great..if not? meh../shrugs.no biggy.
maybe it is my fault for not actually posting the backstory (which i did in comments) which may clear up my reactionary response.
i have a very strong connection with that woman and tend to be extremely protective,always have been of people i love but her especially.the reasons should become clear when you read the backstory.

i tend to side with you in the sense that you were just commenting on the video.taking the opportunity to take a shot (an easy one,lets be honest) at the video while not making it a direct comment on the poster.

i agree with that policy but i did state that i had a personal connection with this young woman,but it seems i should have not been lazy and explained the backstory.

so again,i apologize if it appears im putting the "squeeze" on you.
but i hope i clarified my protective nature concerning this young woman.i really should have anticipated this.i just wanted to share cuz i thought the whole video is funny and it brought back good memories for me.
ah well.epic fail on my part i guess.
we good?

Just a little frostbite. No biggie.

I think I'm going to abstain from this one -- I'd feel like too big of a jerk to try deny someone a channel that they want to create, but at the same time, this seems way too broad and impossible to define. You could probably make an argument for something like 90% of the videos on here to fall under a quirky channel. And who's to say what is and is not quirky? I might find something quirky that someone else finds completely normal, and vice versa.
You're apparently completely against this channel and willing to state it publicly. Why not just make it official? Don't think of it as being a jerk; it's just QA.
It's not like @shuac can't have a channel because this one gets denied. He can still try something else, or even refine this one and try again.


Agreed. I don't take it personally, trust me. Vote how you want. My circuitry doesn't allow personality is such that if this doesn't go thru...no biggie. I've got more channel ideas too. The next one I try may be too narrow...but we'll find out!

What about friction? Seems like this type of gear would need a lot of lubrication and even then it just looks like it would have a lot more wear over time... then again, I have no idea.


No biggie. A rear differential is half or more full of fluid already. If lubrication issues are a problem all you need to do is modify the gears to draw the fluid up as it's turning. Not as hard as it seams.

I get blank screens when I try to view my video through the embed, I wanted to show lann this neat arty vid

Ah, I gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks for the concern!

Ah, many apologies. Lann just stumbled on the account, and it looked as if there wasn't a reason for banning. Random bannings have happened in the past, so I thought I'd ask. No biggie. :

Not sure why you would assume that. :-? Is he a friend of yours maybe?

He's a spammer who created > 20 accounts, so I'm certain he was banned intentionally (and ~5 years ago from what I can tell).

Found a nest of those the hard way. Was helping a guy prepping a house for painting. I was on the roof prepping some over hangs. When I got stung the first time. No biggie I thought I'll swat it and go on. I looked down and saw about 10 of the fuckers on my stomach and more streaming out of a hole in the roof. Then as more and more landed on me they all stung about the same time. I screamed, rolled, fell, landed on top of a fence, pinwheeled and landed on the guy. (All the while getting stung again and again) we both screamed. We are now both being stung. Scrambled and dove in to a near by pool. 80+ stings. 3 cracked ribs and 2 broken fingers. (No idea how I broke them) I decided no to work outside anymore after that.
Mother nature does not like me and I've not found enough money to buy a flame thrower so I could fight back.


My father is a carpenter so dealing with wasps was a regular thing. Rather than a flamethrower, we found a plain old hand saw to be the most practical line of defense. I dubbed it the "bee accelerator". Waving it through the air is a great way to fend off dozens of them at a time. They also make a very satisfying *ping!* as they hit the blade.

Of course the most important part of dealing with wasps is to be aware of them before they start stinging you. If you find yourself totally surprised, all bets are off.

Congrats on breaking my record for most stings in a single attack, though. I've only ever managed about 30-35.

Well the old saying it true. "“Comedy is tragedy plus time.” -Carol Burnett
and thanks to the internet that comedy gets to the public even faster.
I feel we shall be laughing at the maker of these videos soon. The act of using glass bowls over wasp spray or more efficient means will provide the general public with pain and comedy soon.
