If I'm doing the math correctly, the universe is expanding at around 46 miles per second, which is around 165,000 mph. Is there some reason why humans could not overcome this speed limit? It doesn't seem that exceptionally fast (no where near as fast as the speed of light), and if you accelerate slowly to it, like over several days or weeks, the g-forces involved wouldn't be that extreme, would they? The video didn't really explain why we could never go fast enough to overcome the expansion rate.

Also, I thought most theortical physicists like Stephen Hawking believe that in the future technology could advance enough to allow us bend space-time and hence travel "faster than the speed of light" without actually travelling faster than the speed of light, basically like folding a piece of paper and sticking a pin through both sides. When you lay the paper down flat, the two holes will seem quite far away from each other, but when you fold the paper, the holes are right next to each other. Our current understanding of physics doesn't rule out the possibility (at least from a mathematical perspective) although generating the energy necessary to perform such a feat would of course be problematic.

I was, to my infinite surprise, real.
Guinness just certified it.


"Franky Zapata, the French jet ski champion who invented the Flyboard Air, has set a new Guinness World Record for the farthest hoverboard flight. Zapata achieved the feat Saturday morning off the coast of Sausset-les-Pins in the south of France, riding his Flyboard Air hoverboard for a distance of more than 2,252 meters (7,388) feet). That far surpasses the previous record of 275.9 meters (905 feet, 2 inches), set last year by Canadian inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru."

First...I'm pretty certain that's not a quote.
Second, the picture IS proof of a connection between Hillary and the troll. They don't have proof of payment (yet) but there's CLEAR proof that he's a zealous Hillary supporter, and the picture is just part of that proof.
Third, it's not the Sanders campaign putting forth these charges, it's TYT. Attempting to pin the actions of a third party to a candidate is exactly what you're complaining about AS YOU DO IT. Do you not see that?

I love the video, but object mildly to some of the content.

"pin-point accuracy"? The vending machine isn't sniping someone from 800 yards out. And as for accuracy, why do most machines reject my coins a number of times, but if I slam the coin into the slot, it accepts it just fine?

But there's no insulator between the cells. Why wouldn't the electricity just flow freely between the pins through the interior of the lemon?

I don't think you can increase the voltage of an AA battery by creating extra terminals, which is essentially what he's doing here...

What kind of douchebag still uses that kind of foot breaking trap? I think they should have one attached to each limb and be left pinned to the ground somewhere they won't be found, like they do to random animals.
Hunting is one thing, indiscriminate trapping like this is nothing more than random hard core animal abuse by lazy or terrible people.

Ahhh, a request for a telling of 'the saga of the broken newt'.

The first time was ridiculous, remodeling my bathroom and lifting a heavy cast iron tub by hand, not realizing it was liquid nailed to the sub floor. I crushed a vertebrae, popped a disk, and severed the nerve that operates below the knee. I was completely paralyzed below the knee for over 6 months, then for about 1 1/2 years I had partial feeling and movement, it was like my leg was completely asleep that entire time....and still is to a small extent (weakness, pins and needles).
The second time, I ran my car into a highway divider head on at 55mph and went airborne. Good thing it was an Acura Legend, a tank of a car, or it certainly would have been far worse. I was already so irreparably broken, I didn't even go get another MRI for that one, which was probably a bad idea. I still have extra back pain from that (6+ years after the fact), but it didn't do new nerve damage (that I know of) so I just accepted it as one more injury to add to the (excessively long) list.
I am accident prone, and don't take proper care of myself. I'm now paying for over 4 decades of that behavior.

Quite a few hinges don't allow for the pins to be removed. Doubt they'd use those on a shitter though.

Personally had more alignment issues when popping pins.

Ha! Yep, I got SS eagle pins recommended.

Here's some my new recommendation that now show on amazon

"Rape All Girls" - https://amzn.com/B015V52VSW

Buckyballs ripoffs - http://amzn.com/B0183KNY06

Tons of Nazi items
SS deaths head pin - http://amzn.com/B00K8DBSZA

1938 2 Reichsmark coin -http://amzn.com/B008LP90MA


Nazi flag, Fascist Italian flag, Imperial Japan flag, and yes small to gigantic cheap to expensive embroider Confederate flags
http://amzn.com/B003J67I98

And digital books like Anarchist cookbook, Nazi scanned ebooks of unpublished books by Nazis that wrote after escape to Argentina, but the works were unpublished, so its scanned pages from old typewriter copy.

The strangest stuff on recommendations, also Eroge game about drugging girl and raping her for PC and a lolicon

Amazon has wild shit, you can find everything in that video one trick I notice, just mispell the item and bam found

I think you still misunderstand. I don't mean it would hang from above, it would balance on it's contact point. In that way, it would 'hang', but the point of contact would be pointing down in contact with the top of the 2cm cylinder and the bulk of the mass in a ring hanging below that point. To exaggerate for clarity, think of a soda can with the top cut off, turned upside down, and balanced on a pin touching the exact center of the inner can 'bottom'...then spin it.
My idea is a top EXACTLY as they made it, except the weighted ring is much lower, so the CG is below the point. Then, when set on the pedestal, it would be stable when stationary (when set on a counter, the point would not touch). I can't see why that would change when spun as long as the CG stays below the point and balanced/centered.
It would balance when stationary, no question. My only question is what might happen when you spin it, would the rotation make the CG 'want' to be above the contact point for some reason, or would nothing happen. I don't have a lathe to make one myself to try, so I thought someone well versed in rotational physics might know.

Jeb Bush is like PIN number...redundant.
John Ellis Bush...Bush
Personal Identification Number...number.

I liked his new one...iJEB! (or phonetically, yeb) He's hoping we'll give him a yob.

His description of Santa made me picture a ZZ-top-looking mafioso in a bloodred, pin-stripe suite who chainsmokes cigars in public.

Gods I wish I had more time in the day. I absolutely want to take the audio portion of this and make literal illustrations per his description.

Haha.

Basically the same as a bump-lock technique, but their engineering catches the pins for you with no need for a key. Sad.
