Honest Government Ad | We're Fucked

newtboy says...

Sure.
For newts, it's everything.
Leaf litter, twigs and branches, and downed trees are all imperative for a healthy forest....as is periodic fire in most cases. They are habitat for most forest animals.
They also moderate soil humidity, keeping it from drying out to dust, and return nutrients to the soil for plants to utilize.

Few forests could survive being raked clean, none would remain healthy.

Thank you newt. Can you dwell a little on the importance of the ecosystem of the forest floor also?

Making chainsaw noises while cutting cheese

ForgedReality says...

WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING IT WITH YOUR BARE FUCKING HANDS!? That shit is gonna mold 10 times faster now, jackass. And it looks like it's already started to dry out due to your barbaric storage method.

But what more can be expected from someone who sprays spittle all over their food?

Maddening culinary abuse. >_<

The Only Handheld Printer You'll Ever Need

olyar15 says...

And like a typical inkjet printer, the ink cartridges will cost a fortune, claim it is empty even if there is still ink inside, and dry out if you don't use it for a few weeks.

Bystanders Help Save a Beached Great White Shark

Jinx says...

It may be that they can get more oxygen from the air than we can from water, or at least if you keep the gills wet then some oxygen will dissolve into the water on the gills. I'm guessing if the gills dry out they would probably die pretty quickly. But ye, I'm just guessing.

I'm surprised how long they can survive out of water. Certainly longer than a human can survive without air? What kind of damage does it do to an aquatic brain?

Awesome job all around.

Ah, got it. I couldn't find my own photos, but google came to the rescue - here is Lake Colac in its "Colac mudflat" phase a few years ago - http://otway.biz/images/lakecolacdry.jpg

And here's a more normal view after a bit of rain - https://fredodonnellphotography.wordpress.com/2012/10/30/jetties-lake-colac/

The lake's only shallow, so it's prone to drying out completely if there's a drought. It's only happened once in my lifetime that I know of though, although the level does go up and down.

There's a man made lake called Lake Wendouree a few hours north in Ballarat, and around the time that a few years before lake Colac dried up they had to mow it... and started a fire in the dry grass! It was still mud underneath, so it was a bit hard to put the fire out too, they couldn't get the fire trucks onto it

The world's most beautiful sustainable font

spawnflagger says...

My point is that when people print photographs, or pages with large graphics, this font is saving 0% of 90% page coverage. So my logic is that his contribution to saving actual ink is very small. Plus most of the ink I lose (personally) is because the cartridge dries out over time.

Besides that, the font ONLY makes sense on a printed page, where it looks like a normal font after ink bleeding, etc. On screen, it looks like shit. And can't take advantage of sub-pixel-font-rendering employed by every modern OS on LCD displays.

Jinx said:

It's still a 33% saving on ink though. I don't see how the percentage of the page covered in ink is relevant. By your logic a 100% saving in ink would still "only" be 5% of the page?

I think the point is that there are opportunities to think about improving efficiency in all professions, and that these saving needn't necessarily come at the expense of quality. In fact, the inspiration to create something more efficient may actually lead to a pleasing aesthetic.

How Not to Pull a Jeep from the Mud

Payback says...

Is this an attempt to remove the jeep from a concrete-like substance? I note nobody is even remotely sinking into the "mud" on foot anywhere near it. Looks like they came back after the ground dried out.

I saw this wicked rescue setup once. It basically was a crane they assembled on site, using those three-sided trusses people use for radio towers, and would lift the vehicle mostly up out of the mud instead of just drag it sideways.

How Google Decides on Hires

chilaxe says...

He's lying in order to create "warm fuzzies."

This is what their real hiring process is like:

"You should also practice whiteboard space-management skills [or] your interviewer will not be impressed... it always irks me when people do this. Oh, and don't let the marker dry out while you're standing there waving it."

If their hiring managers doc points for not using markers the way they like, they're certainly going to be hyper-focused on the specific technical skills and work history instead of warm fuzzies like "comfortable with ambiguity."

How McDonalds Makes their Fries

Bone, I served with Jonny G. Fuxalot. I knew Jonny G. Fuxalot. Jonny G. Fuxalot was a friend of mine.

Bone, you're no Jonny G. Fuxalot!

I have to admit these McDonalds videos are doing it right from a communication standpoint. The language they use is very deliberate and parsed though. "We also add an ingredient to prevent the graying of the product". No mention of what it is. Possibly Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate - which doesn't sound so rosey in a promotional video. http://greenresonance.com/whats-up-with-the-mcdonalds-ads-on-the-tc

You honestly think jonny G. fuxalot from the trailer park is going to care or know what that is ? these are for clarity and sales. If advertisements use b|g words stupid people get scared. OMFG I need some more Di-Hydrogen-monooxide. My throatal vent is drying out from all this breathing.

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I don't think the Fuxalots are the target for this video. They are trying to entice people who generally don't eat at McDonald's - or reassure those who do but who feel bad about it.>> ^BoneRemake:
