0:25-2:00 - Will Ferrell isn't as funny here as I'm used to.
4:50-7:30 - This is the video of the FLIP in action. Caution: contains rather excitable Japanese woman.
14:00-16:00 - Tour of the interior (demonstrating accommodations for sinks, toilets, galley)
18:00-20:15 - Video of FLIP in spectacular blue water swells
20:30-End - SCIENCE! (31:00 - Lulz.)

Much appreciate the sacrifice!

Guy Thrown From Moving Car & Walks Away - (No.2)

>> ^Morganth:

Looks like his head hit the curb. Walking away means he lived, but it doesn't mean he'll be okay. I had a buddy get hit in the head with a softball that bounced off his glove. He got up, said he was fine, and went on...then his brain swelled from the bruising on both sides. It took years to recover, but some of the damage is permanent.
Yes, walking away is wonderful. It means you lived. But it doesn't mean you're alright. Wear your fucking seatbelt.


Sorry to hear about your friend, hope he's coping ok.

Yes, have heard of him. I would need to go and re-listen to see if it's coincidence that I've upvoted all the ones without him and none of the ones with him I think it might be...

As for adding Lisa Hannigan... I didn't really think I needed to! I spent a bit of time doing a playlist though. A few non-folk ones may have crept in along with the borderline ones. Feedback welcome.

Have you guys ever heard of Damien Rice, btw? Lisa Hannigan & him used to be a thing. She features a fair bit on his gorgeous gorgeous album "O".>> ^lampishthing:

And, cough , Lisa Hannigan...>> ^oritteropo:
I feel somewhat underprepared! Since all my favourite performers have at least one vid here on vs already, perhaps a eurofolk playlist is in order? I've been following Le Cargo, since every google search of bands I liked ended up there, and posting my favourite ones here.
For a non-exhaustive list to start, I would recommend these English bands:

  • This is the kit
  • Merz
  • I am Kloot

And these from the rest of Europe
  • The Swell Season
  • Melpo Mene
  • Alela Diane

I welcome any other suggestions, too
>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Could I request a European folk listening list from you in this thread, oritteropo?
You find some nice stuff.

Shit Barefoot Runners Say

You might not get injured, but there's no guarantee you won't step in some deep dookie from time to time =o)

Pretty much. I've been into "barefoot" running for awhile now. In that I've bought Vibram Five Fingers and other minimalist shoes. I don't actually run barefoot though. Just like every craze you get idiots that come with it and spout bullshit like this all day. This is my experience with minimalist running.
I used to have shin splints constantly, I don't anymore. I used to have knee problems and swelling, I don't anymore. I run much further than I used to, and I have less and less problems with minimalist shoes. Even wearing a pair of Nikes for a day makes my knee feel sore easily. So that's why I use them...if they work they work, no need for all this preachy bullshit.

I ran sprints years ago ... long before this form came to light. I imagine it would have taken me awhile to get past the creepy feeling of having my toes individually encased [shiver]. I'm intrigued by the concept though. It's good to read that it is working out well for you.


That's the thing...you don't have to wear those silly looking foot shoes. I do but that's cause I'm a dork. I also wear New Balance Zeros, which look like regular shoes but have a zero drop. There's also Merrells barefoot line which I like as well.

I ref soccer to make money, some games I end up running up to 5 miles. That's not a lot for the time I'm out there, but it's back and forth across a hard turf field. For a long time it would hurt my knees something awful, then my shins got into it and I could barely run. Started using zero drop shoes with a barefoot ride and ALL of my problems went away. My knees feel great now.

You don't have to look silly, this may not even work for you. It worked for me because I learned first how to run lightly, than got the shoes to help me remember to run lightly.

The "Hipster" Identity Explained - (TED Talk)

Enzoblue says...

What he says about how the hipster movement getting crushed instantly caught me. It's the same with meme's now, like the 'arrow to the knee' meme went out so fast that people only just learned about it by way of people complaining about it. I would have much preferred that a nice swell of hipster culture came and lasted long enough to maybe define 2000's, like metal was 80's and hippie 60's etc.
