Hooray, you got your bronze!

Hooray! We reached and exceeded -16 votes!

First of all I'd like to thank Jesus for making this possible. (That's the Mexican guy who linked me to the trailer.)

But more importantly thanks to all of you for being as disappointed as I am in Michael Bay for taking the dream of a new, awesome TMNT series and crushing it like a dung beetle.

When I heard they were remaking it, it took me back to that elementary school playground where someone told me they were going to release a TMNT movie with live-action turtles. I was in disbelief, but then I could not wait. It was the most excited I'd ever been for a movie.

The possibility of reliving that excitement for a new TMNT was, as @newtboy put it, raped from my soul when I heard Michael Bay was at the helm. This trailer confirmed my worst fears.

I hope for all voting to cease so this pile of turd can sit on on the sift with exactly -17 votes as a testament to what transpired here.

Kumbaya, everybody.


*Kumbaya.

Hooray!! KIDS NEED MORE JAZZ INFLUENCE!

"4" sounds like death in Chinese. So to call a bus "44" is very ominous.
(I doubt the bus from the true story was called that - even hospitals don't have a floor 4 - but the filmmaker chose it on purpose).

great short film. funny standup by Reg. hooray for the sift.

Hooray!

Blimey, I can't even remember ever having submitted that one...

Anyway, cheers for the bump. Hooray!

The budget of any commercial could conceivably be converted into food for the hungry; it's meaningless to single any one out whether it uses food or not.

In any case we don't want to feed the hungry. Feed the hungry and you just get twice as many hungry next generation. Real humanitarians, real environmentalists, support radical population reduction. Then there's more land, more oil, more oxygen for everyone; and we can blow up anything we want, hooray.

This isn't an exercise in engineering so much as marketing.

The pneumatic motor is limited by the extreme lack of energy stored in compressed air. All inneficiencies in translating that stored energy into motion are failures in the system. The goal is to carefully remove all unnecessary sources of energy loss from the motor.

So there's an interesting engineering challenge in making this work 'at all' using Legos. There are design compromises that must be made, given the restrictions on form imposed by available parts; as well as the stress limitations of the material. It's like someone giving you a pile of reeds and asking you to build a Manhattan 5-Story Walkup. Can it be done? Is there enough stress resistance in the material for something of that scale? A fun challenge with no practical implications. Manhattan low-rises have been built before, you're not innovating architecture and you're definitely not contributing anything to the future of construction.

The question is, does it require a "technology genius" to accomplish? Someone tell me what a "technology genius" is first. Whatever it is...I suspect you don't need one on your team in order to search the internet for pneumatic piston motor schematics and copy/paste a parallel series of 256.

This exercise is inspiring and fun...until you add the marketing entrepreneur, casting hyperbole around and spending other people's money. It is unsettling to think that the new generation of capitalists are chasing the specter of Elon Musk; self promoting egotists who create nothing and take credit for everything. As a longtime member of the internet in good standing, I reject every stealth intrusion of marketing and entrepreneurship into my sandbox.

Hooray for Raul Oaida, engineering buff and hobbyist. Down with Steve Sammartino, marketer, entrepreneur, "brainchild" originator, keeper of secrete locations, crowd funder, project contact and fathead.

Hooray for socks!

*quality stuff! *promote *hooray and *whatnot!

Learned something new today. Hooray for me.

Given my current thoughts on the US government, it actually warms the cockles of my heart to know that so many people such as these somehow manage to avoid having the pledge tattooed into their brain. Hooray for our ineffective brain washing education system!

Hooray for power!!

I LOVE thunderstorms!!!! Your description of that one is getting me all excited for one. How awesome to live so close to the water and get a view like that! I used to have a house with lakefrontage and seeing the lightning over the open water and hearing the booming thunder was quite a spectacular show...I sure miss it.

I didn't take part in that survey myself so I guess the % of women is slightly higher. I was a bit shocked though that there are so few women on this site. I have no idea what's scaring them off...other than the fact that there's such a strong male presence.

I just knew you would like that song!!! I don't think I've heard that Little Wing one before. And....speaking of songs. What a great assortment you've chosen for me today!! I'm having a busier than usual workday and it's nice to be able to have these songs playing in the background as I try to wrap my head around paper work. I've just started listening to them, so I will give you my opinion on these later on. I do have to say that the Baba O'Reily one I am VERY familiar with and it is another favorite!!

I could get behind psychology studies like this. Hooray for statistical significance.

I am tired of all these FMRI bullshit studies that make way too many assumptions about what's going on in the brain.
