Molten Aluminum Meets Watermelon

deathcow says...

Actually, it's for a reason, scientists now believe those seeds you have been joyfully spitting since you were a kid are actually the hardened remains of ant colonies.

These exotic ants immediately solidify the moment the shell of the watermelon is pierced and oxygen touches the interior of the fruit.

They look like underground ant nests.

The Man Who Makes Giant Swords

newtboy says...

Upvote for his facebook name alone.
His show is OK...not great, not bad.
I'm surprised he doesn't make the body of his swords out of aluminum or magnesium, then use an exotic welding process (like friction stirring...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_stir_welding)
to attach a stainless steel edge for strength. It would make them more wieldable with an interesting look.

Life As A Rare Fruit Collector

Retroboy says...

True for many simple domestic species, but exotic gardening of foreign trees until they reach the point where they are bearing fruit takes a lot of knowledge on top of sourcing the seeds. How much water? What's the pollination process? Soil chemistry? Fertilization and nutrients? Diseases and pests to manage?

There are a lot of failed gardens out there.

newtboy said:

Not in my eyes, he has to collect them before he can even attempt to grow them...that can be a LOT harder, especially when it's hard for you to walk and talk.
Plants/fruits grow on their own, mostly.

Anita Sarkeesian: 'What I Couldn't Say'

GenjiKilpatrick says...

Okay Enzo. I've already been thru this with Newtboy.

I don't want to have another pointless back and forth.

I'm not trying to start a flame war.

So please explain what you're citing as "the truth" in that seemingly bias "rational"wiki page.

[I say that because "hate-train" doesn't seem like very objective or academic terminology]

Please explain away this instance of Sarkeesian's theft and misappropriation of a female artist's work.

And this instance of fabricated gameplay footage from Hitman: Absolution.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuRSaLZidWI&t=149

The footage she uses in her FemFreq video implies that the ENTIRE point of this section of the game is to brutalize women.

When, in fact, the game penalizes players for killing ANY civilians.

Every other legitimate walk-through of this game & mission clearly shows the player completely avoiding the exotic dancers.

Please do your best to avoid semantics and objectively justify this behavior. Thanks

The Leviathan [teaser]

Payback says...

People in the other thread were making notes about how we got to this place without having the eggs to begin with.

I figured it might be Jupiter or Saturn, but then I thought about it. They don't say the eggs are the ONLY source of the exotic matter, just that they are apparently an easier-to-harvest, plentiful source of the exotic matter. Humanity could have gotten out there with a truly massively expensive source, only to find the Space Whales(tm) and hey, it's only been 100 years, it's doubtful Greenpeace has made much headway on Beta Gamma Epsilon Major OU812...

We Got Stronger Beer

Tolwyn says...

Wait, what?? That's not true across the board. Their "budweiser" may have more Acohol by content, but those types of comparisons disappear when it comes to our micro-beer market, such as Red Hook, IPAs, etc...

It's probably the most myopic comparison you can make. They have "professional" football is like saying we both have "professional" exotic dancers. It means nothing. We have the NFL. Our worst players go to the CFL.

So... huh?

Yazidi survivors rescued by helicopter

newtboy says...

It just seems to me that this is myopic, short term thinking (by the military, not you) that actually hurts their operational effectiveness by
1)being wasteful when a simple box to catch empties could be designed to be failsafe, light, and maybe even function as 'armor' when full and flotation when empty. Also (and far more important to the military), every dollar saved by 'recycling' the brass is a dollar that could be spent on more and/or better equipment for soldiers.
and 2)creating hostility towards your forces in those that may have been neutral or even on your side, before their child was burned over 90% of their body by the shells falling out of the chopper, or their straw home burned down, or their fields/rice patties/hog pens are now full of burnt 'propellant' (not always gunpowder, and often more contaminating than gunpowder) and hot brass, ruining or contaminating them permanently when it could be prevented so easily. They have put big money into trying to create a less toxic 'bullet' out of carbon/other exotics, knowing it's an issue world wide. (I don't know how far that's gone yet.) I can't understand why they would ignore the other part of the bullet?

I see your point about 'informing' the public, but that could be done just as easily and maybe better with a go-pro (or a few) and commentary, no?
True enough, it may not have been the only escape chopper or trip, but make no mistake there was a HUGE shortage of escape methods, not everyone got a ride out, and there's no reason to short change the victims or require more dangerous trips in and out just so one reporter can see first hand instead of on video....not that I see.

Sycraft said:

They don't catch shells because it is just something else to deal with. Military operations cause a lot of waste and contamination (the bullets are lead as an example). It would be superfluous to worry about the casings and just take up more space and crew time.

The reason they take reporters is because it helps the public see and support what is going on. Having public support behind these sort of things is important. Also most western nations have pretty strong freedom of the press rules.

Yes, he took up some space, but it isn't like that is the only helicopter they sent. This isn't a case of "one chopper and then the rest of you are screwed." They are sending more flights. That same chopper probably went back, after refueling and rearming, for that matter.

Restored Faith In Humanity - The Norweigans

poolcleaner says...

I can also make unfounded statements: This would have failed in Norway, just the same as it would have failed in the US, if the kid was a minority and/or wearing an exotic outfit.

Hence why it starts with a white child and leads into helping people in Syria. If they had shown us children in Syria, I don't believe this video would exist because no one in Norway would be tricked into giving a shit.

Besides, Norwegians don't believe in democracy, every American citizen knows and practices this belief -- because Fox says so, telepathically. In all of our minds. All of hivemind America.

Sadly, I don't think it would have gone as well in America.

Food Channel Contest Time (Food Talk Post)

I'd like the next two to be a challenge of baker's gold proportions if anyone dare place the task upon me, ...no exotic ingredients or process being too extravagant-

This Dancer is a Wonderful Insult to Gravity

chingalera says...

Ok-Does not fit the conventional MO of dancing dude, or he's got the cover-but his wifes' a, HELLO?? Exotic dancer (or formerly)!??
Exotic dancer=/=costume designer??

You miss Lann, simply have a problem with convenient stereotypes relative to appearances and have never entertained the veracity of the adage, "If it looks and quacks like a duck", riding a personal grudge against me tinctured with an incapacity or unwillingness to kill your own ego.

I could give a damn about the guy's sexuality, he tears up the "stripper pole" with aplomb, and his exotic dancer wife makes stellar costumes. What's yer beef if not well-done-to-charred?

Lann said:

His wife is actually a clothing designer.

Also, pole dancing =/= stripping nowdays.

Weird Korean Commercials Compilation

Osha from Game Of Thrones - Nymphadora Tonks - Interview

Snohw says...

I think it's the interviewer or the setting of an interview that makes them come across that way.

Who the heck can be genuine and/or themselves in front of a live audience, like they're an exotic animal: Or at a studio on uncomfortable chairs with ten strong lights blinding you, four blokes behind a camera with one asking question after question, at 10:30AM. I mean, it's no wonder 98% of interviews feels shallow and boring.

HugeJerk said:

It's refreshing to see an actress/actor come across as a genuine person in an interview. So many of them seem like they are just doing a character, possibly because they are actually boring in their daily lives.

Would The World Be A Better Place Without Hitler?

radx says...

A disturbing idea for sure.

I know it's just a very visual illustration of how history might not change for the better if key elements are changed, but just to expand on his little thought experiment...

They wouldn't have had access to the neccessary raw material, would they? Pretty much every sort of metal alloy was in short supply even during the late '30s. The occupation of Narvik brought some relief, but still, a nuclear weapons program requires some pretty exotic material that you can't get at Tesco.

Russell Brand's Reaction to Katharine McPhee Being Married

chingalera says...

Strange as it may seem, some chicks dig douchebags.....for instance, exotic dancers, sufferers of past abuse.....douchey-bitches?? Brands' a douchebag.

... and he even gets away with it, unlike us mortals.
