I think it's pronounced unobtainium.>> ^probie:

That's the first time I've ever seen a rig used as a "booster" or helper. What the hell are they hauling? UFO parts made of ununoctium?

I would upvote if he had his kids safely secured, like the youngest who should be in a harness at the least, or the front child who should be in a booster...my they grow up so dangerously quick... I would def agree, cute, but def *fail

Screw it, although dad isn't a safety expert, I will upvote for cuteness!

THANKS!!

use your damn speed booster Samus. wtf

While "common", it is an amazing thing to see. Saw a Russian booster renter in New Mexico a few years ago (headed for Roswell) and I had to stop the car and get out. Keep looking up!

No surprise here really. If she was going to run she'd have had to have jumped in a month ago or more. But more than that - I don't think that the GOP wanted anything to do with her. She's much more of a maverick than John "Loser" McCain ever was, and the GOP doesn't like candidates they can't control. Palin will never be anything in the GOP again except a booster, commentator, or side-show attraction. I think she can help out by drawing in folks, but I don't see her ever holding major office again.

Solid rocket boosters would be better.

It's a winged metaphor for the Carter Administration! And the Obama one as well.


Somehow you always manage to turn the discussion to politics even with vids that have nothing to do with the subject. I don't know whether to be impressed or to pity your inability to think about anything else.

I am SO getting that shit for my truck. I HATE traffic.


Reminds me of one of my favorite urban legends. http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1995-04.html

Your video, Top-secret C-130 with rocket boosters, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

FYI - The video shows that having a constant diameter (cross-section) is not enough to show the shape is round. This was discovered to be a problem in getting segments of the Space Shuttle solid rocket boosters to fit together. (The SRB segments would flex out of shape when they were transported across country lying sideways on railcars.) They had to be forced back to a round shape to fit together, with the O-rings in the gaps. As described in Richard Feynman's book, "What Do You Care What Other People Think?", NASA would measure diameters at different points. But Feynman knew about the funny shapes in this video, and knew that diameter measurements did not prove roundness. The technicians on site always had to keep inspecting the segments as they came together to get them to fit together.

That was fun to watch, but I wonder why the landing process is so complicated? A parachute that deploys a platform with booster rockets which in turn lowers the rover with a winch? Seems like at least one of those should be unnecessary.

Also, we need to build a one-way highway along to equator. With massive amounts of cars constantly driving west, we can slow down the earths rotation, thereby slowing down the magma vortices under the earths crust and effectively bringing tectonic movement to a halt.

This would also be a massive economic booster for the construction and automotive sectors, along with the tourism industry for the equatorial countries providing pitstops and Haliburton who gets the contracts to excavate the latrines (beware of faulty wiring).

The only downside is that earth would lose its magnetic field, but political pundits could show that magnetism equals marxism (it's available for all! and both start with an "m"!), so that is easily solvable.

Big win for all.

Remember: God makes a kitten purr for every 40.000 km you drive on the Equatorial Highway!

Probably for the same reason people don't see the guy in the gorilla suit pass by, selective attention. It is far easier when watching a video of a person play a game to catch what they are missing, but another thing while in game to miss it.

HOW DID HE NOT SEE THAT EFFING CREEPER BEFORE HE DROPPED DOWN!? Oh man.


You could put the game on Peaceful mode, and I think I would if I was making a tutorial like this one, but that sort of ruins the fun of playing the game itself. It isn't just a sandbox game. If you want that play the free Classic version. Half the fun is fending off the enemy and protecting yourself.

Why is there no way to disable the zombies? Does anyone actually want them? If I were playing with my K'Nex and some zombie came up and killed me I'd throw the fucking K'Nex out. It's a sandbox game, not Resident Evil.
I've never played Minecraft and so do not know if there is some way to disable zombie attacks.
