Can we replace this embed with the original video?
You could even trim it from this point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs654PYe3qw&feature=player_detailpage#t=67

Maybe he wanted to chop some wood?

Bring down a pole?

Shorten a pipe?

Trim a hose?

Butcher a salami?

Slice a pickle?

Bisect a cylinder?

WORK WITH ME HERE!

Automata bothered me that they had their own "Rules of Robotics", but felt like trimming those back to only 2, leaving even wider loopholes for creative drama, but still following it to the same conclusion.
I liked The Machine a bit better because instead of a fictional portrayal on AI finding a way through it's man-made cage, it was about experimenting with an AI that had no cage and seeing what self-discovery brought it.
Ultimately both those films just devolved into meaningless action in the end. I hope this one doesn't. Otherwise the premise looks almost identical to The Machine, right down to the robots name (Eva/Ava, same phonetics).

Lots of interesting science fiction out the last couple years though. Lots seem to be dealing with our infatuation of deconstructing our physical bodies to explore what's left. Between this film, The Machine, Robocop, The Signal, and I'm sure at least one other I'm leaving out, they all have viscerally imagined portrayals of human figures with as little recognizable human traits as possible.

Well, she's right that Trickle-down Economics doesn't work but with this clip being trimmed before and after, I really have no idea what her point was.
She could be going on to say anything at all..

I've heard people say he's a fucking idiot-moron with a big mouth, but at least he's speaking out intelligently while most 'intelligent' people are feeling safe in their holding patterns of conformative self-preservation.
I feel like the next step here is for someone in his line of lifestyle to actively fund like-minded politicians (though maybe he already does given that's the traditional avenue for money that wants change), developers and community personalities.
Maybe it's just because I see ways through my field of expertise to enact change, but lack the backing. The only thing that holds me back from doing so is the capitalist requirement that I pay for my right to exist, or I am under threat of violence or imprisonment. If a dude like Brand gave me $1k a month to live off of, I'd happily trim back my lifestyle to help him in the areas I'm skilled at, for shared, common goals.
Bah! Self-indulgent ranting.

was I the only one distracted by her eyebrows? that was a pretty bad plucking/waxing/trimming job.

Pretty cool tech anyway.

I agree that what Snowden is saying here is important -- and I personally agree with the concept fully. BUT, that being said, I don't necessarily think that NBC is guilty of "censoring" him here as a result of some hidden nefarious agenda.

The whole interview posted here is 43 minutes long. I'd guess that it is has been trimmed of some comments from Greenwald and probably the other journalist that it was mentioned made the trip to Russia with NBC. Tack commercials on top of that and you have what I'd assume is a 1 hour show on TV.

I'm sure that NBC recorded *way* more interview footage than could be crammed into a single hour, and I'd wager that his comments here didn't make the cut not because of censorship or in an effort to alter the thrust of his message, but rather simply in an effort to fill the time allotment of the show with the most interesting and relevant content possible (as judged by NBC).

So, while I'd jump at a chance to legitimately criticize the media in general and NBC specifically here, I don't think that accusing them of censorship is particularly fair. On the other hand, I might disagree with NBC's choice to cut this particular content because I do find it very interesting and relevant personally... And that in turn makes me wonder what *other* interesting stuff didn't make the 1 hour cut!

Thanks Zawash, I hadn't noticed that the links were trimmed! The description has been updated

Needs a trim at the end...But is awesome!

It's pretty easy to be negative about this - but I'm sure every single one of you nay sayers have experience that moment when you cleaned up real nice and thought to yourself "Daaaamn. That's me"

Now multiply that by a thousand. That's what that dude must have felt. I bet he saw himself in that suit, with that cut and trim and thought "Holy shit. This is me." I bet he saw himself in a new light and felt absolutely awesome, if only for a little while.

Sure, it's not a quick solution. Sure, it's a coat of paint. But it could be a great start.

I say bravo to these guys. Even if it doesn't pan out, they gave that guy a wonderful wave of emotion.

With his method, the seeds and septum are easily eviscerated w/o precision grooming. The small amount of flesh you lose in minimal. That top part with the stem is of so little consequence and what you lose has little flavor. I've never trimmed a pepper this way, I always half it, and trim the seeds and septum after.

Ramseys' no speed-freak......always thought he was a self-medicating bi-polar-OR, he could be one of those cats high on life's, WTF's...either, other, he's one wound-tight control-freak!

Good to see the Asian men pulling the white girl trim. Such a rare thing.

/hilarious yet true racism

Recently proffered'n procured me a trim as well, good on yas there, bluehair! *PrOmoTe

-oh and Hippy Birthday wishes to yer jolly, round man!

1) "The Democratic Party in Europe would be a far-right party".

I don't think it would be. A decade ago, yes. But not today.

Look at what Blair (Labour) and Schröder (SPD) did to the left-of-center parties in their respective countries: they moved to the right, significantly. And by doing so, the entire political sphere was pushed to the right. Tory and CDU, the former right-of-center parties are not that different from the Democratic Party, nowadays at least.

The French are still holding on to the alignment of their political system. However, the austerity enforced by conservative moralists, mainly the troika of IMF/ECB/EU Commision as well as the German establishment, is putting immense pressure on Hollande to "encourage" a political shift to the right.

2) Resistance from within the political system.

We have two of these parties in this country, parties that, to some degree, oppose the establishment in areas of significance. They manage to mitigate some of the damage the establishment tries to inflict upon society, but if we're honest about it, most of it is only postponed by a comparatively short period of time. One might even argue that it's just for show so that the illusion of choice is kept up...

In any case, they cannot create the level of fear neccessary to keep the other parties in check. For that to change, the ownership structure in traditional media would have to be changed, radically. As of now, the marginalisation of anti-establishment forces is working effectively and any attempts at meaningful change are demonised.

3) A recently published document by JP Morgan illustrates just how openly their efforts against democratic societies are being waged these days:

Political systems around the [European] periphery typically display several of the following features: weak executives; weak central states relative to regions; constitutional protection of labour rights; consensus building systems which foster political clientalism; and the right to protest if unwelcome changes are made to the political status quo.

The shortcomings of this political legacy have been revealed by the crisis.

JP Morgan: there's excess of democracy in Southern Europe that needs to be trimmed.
