Typical dodo post from Blob... You are just wrong on so many points...

Right on! Just ask John Oliver. Them drop bears are a threat to all humanity.

Joking aside, Australia is in deep dodo because ScoMo and his party's policies and (non-)reaction to the yearly crises are very much to blame.

I cannot award mediocrity!

I mean seriously, Effort has gone the way of the Dodo.

Live long enough and you don't have to hear one of the most annoying sounds. CRTs might have more or less gone the way of the dodo, but coil whine can strike at ANY TIME!. If you can't hear it take it as a blessing cos irony is a thing and so is tinnitus.

Here is the problem, Mr. Schlosser is a journalist, not a Nuclear Scientist. He does not understand, or has chosen to ignore for propaganda reasons, that an unarmed warhead is EXTREMELY unlikely to perform the exact sequence of events that need to take place to have a nuclear reaction happen.

Yes, he is fully correct in that we have had numerous 'butt-clenching' moments in which we could have started WW3 due to a malfunction or human error. But in the other cases he mentions, such as the bombs that landed on Spain, the lightning bolt on the tower, and the wrench on the rocket, the chance of the warhead going up while being unarmed is infinitesimal. They simply don't go 'boom' because of a collision or explosion. Now you could have a 'dirty bomb' type incident where the radioactive materials could be spread and come into contact with humans, but that is about it.

The cases that have been officially listed as Broken Arrows were because they involved an active bomb, like the one in Florida. Everything else he mentions in this video is his 'belief' and is conjecture.

Now, before I get unloaded on, I wish we didn't have nuclear weapons. I don't agree with Trump that we should renew the arms race, I think he is nuts since we have more than enough weapons to blanket the cities of the world more than a couple of times. If you add all the nukes from the Big 3 (USA/Russia/France...yes, France) there are enough to cover every single inch of the world.

The problem is, who bells the cat? If we give up all of our weapons, we are at risk. I wish we weren't, but we would be. If we bring down our numbers gradually, there are still other countries that may not, like North Korea. How do we trust the other country is actually following through? In a perfect world, we would all lay down our weapons and sing kumbaya, but as Heinlein wrote: "...Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms."

PS...Yes, I know Starship Troopers is a controversial novel with overtones of Militarism and Fascism. However, there are quotes that ring true no matter what 'ism' people attach to the overall story. If you doubt that, look at the utter disbelief and depression that overcame liberals when Trump won. "He simply was supposed to, it was impossible, not like this, we have no hope, etc" were the feelings of the people who gave him no hope of winning. I, having lived and read enough to get a fair picture of how fucked up we are as a species, had little doubt he could pull it off. We elected a former Wrestler as governor, a former actor as governor, and a former actor as President. We overlook mass genocide in other countries. We ignore climate change. We spend hundreds of billions on defense and less than 10 on space exploration, all the while living on a planet that is already critically overpopulated (and is growing almost exponentially).

Why?

even CD/DVD are going the way of the dodo.

I suspect when that guy shuffles off this mortal coil, so will the business. Either that when the last few people who even have a cassette player shuffle off cuz there will be nothing to play them on.

Yeah sure nostalgia has its place, but it really is just the human mind trying to fight inevitable change. So this really is just generational. Don't see anyone having nostalgia for using sticks as tools.

I mean I sorta get it. When Steam first came out I was vehemently against it. I "needed" that physical CD.

Well...I got over it. Steam rocks and digital is the way to go. The jury is in.

This isn't skillful but breaking a wine glass with your voice by following simple instructions on how to do so... is?

The definition of skillful is: Having or showing skill. What determines what is classified as a "skill" is somewhat subjective, but I think most people can look at a video like this and say: "Damn, that lady has got skillz in the cakez departmentz." Most people would say exactly that phrase.

Deano seems to append the modifier "extraordinary" inconsistently. Tyrant King of Skillful channel I beseech the, right your wrong. You can even re-re-recon your dodo cake vid back into your skillful channel as a cosmic offering.

Ask yourself: Can the average person execute the activity presented by the video in question without a great deal of experience (in this case) and/or serendipitous luck from the skill gods (in the case of other skillful tagged candidates dealing with physical prowess and manual dexterity, etc). If the answer is no, then it's most likely skillful.

This is skillful.

@Deano I think you should re-title that channel *whatDeanofindsskillful

It's odd this is taken out while this was in there http://videosift.com/video/The-Making-of-Dodo-Bird-Cake. Any average sculptor can form fondant. This lady's technique is truly innovative. Plus all of her cake is edible and made out of materials that don't taste like sugar paste. What do I know though...

*dead as a dodo ... it does not exsist

Before we resurrect the dinosaurs, let's maybe start with something smaller, like the passenger pigeon or the dodo.


Yes! Bring back the tastiest most easily killed animals first.
