GoPro Awards: World's Longest Trickshot
Out of this world! I guess we know what some people do with their shelter-in-place time...
T-34 Tank Battle Scene
I assume this 5 minute video is a supercut of all the battle scenes, spaced out over the length of the actual movie (139 minutes). If that is true, then the amount of slow-motion is acceptable.
The only problem I had with it was that Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't come out and promote World of Tanks (or Mobile Strike or whatever bs video game)

Good Heavens .... You're out of this world Tony. Galaxy ... WooHoo!!! Can't wait to see what your image and theme song will be. Well done on your lofty achievement my dear
The Truth About Jerusalem
Trump's a buffoon randomly dancing around from one tire fire to set off another. This is no defence of him or any 'thought', motive or goal behind anything he does.
I'm just pointing out that the world's reaction of horror and outrage to moving the US embassy to Jerusalem is naive and hypocritical. It is naive in that clearly the peace process has been dead since WW2.
I'm going to list points that seem to clearly indicate the peace process didn't exist and tell me anything you disagree with cause I suspect we are working from different 'facts'.
Israel clearly doesn't want a two state solution.
Hamas clearly doesn't want a two state solution.
Fatah clearly doesn't want a two state solution.
The Muslim world clearly doesn't want to share Jerusalem with an Israeli state.
The Israeli state clearly doesn't want to share Jerusalem with a Palestinian state.
With the above, and Israeli's militarily dominant position over the Palestinians the only 'peace' process is going to be whatever Israel decides it wants that to be. Morality, wishes, blundering American 'presidents' and anything else we want to pull out doesn't really matter in the face of that. Israel has the might and the ability and so they will do what they want. My hope is to influence the Israeli state towards equitable, fair and compassionate treatment of Palestinians. If Israel decides to create a one state solution, but abides by that fine. Two states with borders unilaterally laid out by Israel, fine. So long as popular opinion in Israel can be won in favour of fair, equitable and compassionate treatment of Palestinians then that's the most I hope or wish for. I think it's a realistic goal that can be realized.
Perhaps it was, perhaps it wasn't, but now it's unequivocal that we aren't working for peace, we are working for Israel, and finding a solution that's acceptable is exponentially harder, especially since no one trusts us to keep our word anymore and we can't mediate.
This gave Israel their biggest wish (besides all Palestinians just evaporating) and offered the Palestinians nothing but a nice "Fuck you", stay off our holy land. For that concession, we got nothing, zip, nada. Great mediating...give one side what they want, then pretend mediation doesn't work. What a negotiator, the best ever. Fuck.
Can anyone honestly tell me that in their wildest dreams this somehow advances the peace process? That's like Miss America thinking she won't be oogled while changing by the pageant owner in her dressing room level naivete.

Homer's lawyers will be in touch. He clearly stated the space age out of this world moon waffles are patented.
Sam Harris on Trump
Wow, turns out that the world isn't as black and white as "people who like islam" and "people who don't like islam"
Whodthunkit?
Surprised Harris isn't a bigger fan, seeing as they both view Islam in such a simplistic and myopic way and both have said largely dangerous things about Muslims.
Whole New Worlds: An Aladdin History of Exoplanets
Wasn't easy being a planet hunter back in the day *promote
I'm looking for
1 tug
The pull of a planet
1 tell
A wobbling sun
I've searched for years
Haven't found a one
But they're out there
1 jump
In radial redshift
1 slip
Of spectral lines
They'll see if I can show them the sines
Pish tosh
Green men
Take five
Take ten
Just a little cash guys
Budget's tight
Don't fund this trash guys
I can take a hint
Better face the facts
Second-hand'll have to do
Eww
All you planet hunters at the bottom
You've got fact & fantasy entwined
Finding planets except they haven't got one
Well they gotta be forming readily
When you think about it given we've got nine
1 jump
A blip in the spectrum
1 shift of meters per second
1 graph of period power
They laugh but I'm not sour
Here goes
18 months of data
Cross & correlate it
All I gotta do is run
Pish tosh
Green men
Ah don't mind them
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a pure void
No sirree
They'd find out
There's worlds galore
To see
Make way for Pegasi
51 Pegasi
First was a world
Round an old pulsar
That's true
But the news
Is a sun-like star
With wobble
Too quick & precise
To be designed
No fluke not a spot
If you like it hot
You're gonna love this find
Pegasi 51b
Planet discovered
Orbit traced
Every 4 days
Hot as can be
Its order-Jupiter size
Was something of a surprise
Especially given its star's proximity
Pegasi 51b
It's a new era
To detect
Exoplanets
Soon there'll be three
As planet pulls on its Sun
It shifts the stellar spectrum
That's how we found 51b Pegasi
How'd a planet get so close in orbit
Cause I thought you needed ice to form it
Did it later undergo some strange migration
Star too small to be so long-pulsating
And too old to be so quick rotating
Is there any other good interpretation
This will certainly help with our funding
We got your funding
We got your funding
Got a surface of 1200 C
It's treacherous
So treacherous
If in time this new breakthrough feels mundane
Planets are common
That's proof
Of the truth
I've been telling you
This is no mean anomaly
Pegasi 51b
Planet uncovered
Round a far
Main sequence star
Spectral type G
We know its mass to be high
Half Jupiter by sine i
It's 15.61 pc from home
And it shakes our faith in how planets are formed
And its star is in Pegasus
Give it an A and thus
Label the planet as b
51 Pegasi
Plotting Doppler shifts is glacial-pace
And that astrometry never prevails
But baby you're in luck cause
Up in space
You got a planet-finder never fails
You got the power of statistics now
You got a view without an atmosphere
So no more nights spent locked up in your tower
All you gotta do is wait right here
And I say
Kepler the planet-searcher
Got a dip, no 2, no 3
We just measure brightness
Plot it out & that's transiting photometry
When your stars do this
And your curves displace
Then your star's got this
Transiting its face
Then you hit compute
And lookie here
You get good diameter data
From that dip
And orbit distance from the length of year
Well now we need this tale supported by
A ground observer with a good Échelle
We got 2000 planets certified
2000 more that only time will tell
But let's take em all, plot em out
And find out if we're really all alone
Is there a rocky world we've found no doubt
That orbits in the habitable zone
Like home?
Kepler the planet searcher
Got an Earth 452b
Part of a throng
40 billion strong
There ain't never been a field
Clever as the field
There ain't never been a field
Better than the field they call
Exoplanetology
I can show you a world
A shining shimmering planet
Found concealed in the band-shifts
Of the closest star in sight
I've found hope in the skies
And facing wonder I wonder
Could the sine wave discovered be
A planet fit for life
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of blue
Placed in that narrow zone
Where water flows
Midway tween cold & steaming
A whole new world
Its sun a faint, reddish hue
Could there be waiting here
A biosphere
Evolving in this whole new world to view
Fathoming a whole new world to view
Unbelievable find
Indescribable feeling
Earthlings someday revealing
Through directly captured light
A whole new world
Don't just stare from a far
Though nigh impossible to see
Wouldn't close up be bolder
Next to its parent's flair
If life is there
We'll know through atmosphere spectroscopy
A whole new world
Block the glare of the star
A laser starshot to pursue
With a star-shaped occulter
Chasing that crazy dream
That's always been
Of walking in a whole new world with you
a whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A home in space
For you and me
Enough already, Eric3579 -- let us celebrate you! (Happy Talk Post)
Yup ... @eric3579 is out of this world! He's the bomb! Congratulations dear friend ... so deserving
Grilling Food on my Laptop....big mistake.
One of them, yes. I think we had 2 or 3 battery recalls for the macbooks and one hell of a recall for the macbooks with nvidia graphics. The graphics one was horrendous; I didn't have to deal with the support calls once we nailed it down and they stopped escalating them to tier 3, but god the call volume was out of this world for the tier 1 folks.
People don't realize it, but I can tell you that for the years I worked there (from 2005 to 2011), we used to joke that we should change the catchphrase to "It just doesn't work." Of course, a lot of the problems were because end users were trying to use products in a way they weren't meant to be used.
That's nuts. Is this the recalled battery model that Apple recalled?
Understanding the Refugee Crisis in Europe and Syria
This is America fault. Leadership from behind has failed the wold. From the Arab spring to this disaster. 7 years of failed leadership of President Obama.
Obama drew a line in the sand and Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons and my pussy president did squat just as he did for Ukraine.
Leadership from behind has failed the wold.
My American President sits back and lets ISIL rape, kill and destroy with out impunity.
The world needs a super power to keep peace. This lesson has been well taught under the Obama legacy.
Mortal Kombat Fatalities are Getting Creative
Seeing this really puts a new perspective on the ketchup blood and pixelated gore of the original. To the claims that it desensitizes us to violence I would point out that real world violence does that as well, perhaps even more so since its actually real. Should we ban the evening news as well?

Well, there surely is a built in clientele insuring this to be mutually profitable, right? ... take THAT McDonalds! I can see pizza delivery in the future [special toppings and/or crust on request. And the special house salad dressing is out of this world]

" Their is actually a humorous comparison due to the south park episode “medicinal fried chicken” having to do with KFC selling marijuana with there famous fried chicken"
How awesome/hilarious is this.

THE AMIGA YEARS!
My Amiga 2000 is stashed away in a closet somewhere. Also had a 500 at one time but eventually sold that.
Shadow of the Beast was a classic and many other impressive games from Psygnosis...graphics and the music.
Lemmings, Out of this World, Monkey Island, Dune II, Stunt Car Racer...even liked the text based Infocom games like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and The Lurking Horror.
