Tortoise impersonating Owen Wilson - WOW!

BicycleRepairMan says...

Just to ruin the fun , ill just note here that as a general rule "cute" ,repetetive behaviour exhibited by captive animals is a result of the lack of stimuli. But I'm sure someone will help Owen Wilson eventually.

Biased CNN Reporter Didn’t Know He Was Still On The Air,

Biased CNN Reporter Didn’t Know He Was Still On The Air,

BicycleRepairMan says...

LOL, how in the fuck does this show "Obama paid them to lie"? Also, he seems to be clearly aware that he is on air, doing punditry, looking at the camera while talking to her etc, I dont know when or where this is from, but from the headline it looks to be early in HRC's campaign, so its difficult to tell the context here, why he says what he says..

Elon Musk: Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species

BicycleRepairMan says...

My concern is this : Imagine a global extinction event , lets say a repeat of the event that killed off the dinosaurs : a massive asteroid direct hit , instantly killing everything on roughly the same continent or general planetside , such an impact would punch a hole in the very tectonic plate it lands on and cause massive waves not just in water , but in the ground itself , waves of rock and earth surface taveling around the globe meeting on the far side of the impact and ricocheting back again . We are talking GLOBAL earthquakes off the scales, for YEARS after the impact as the tectonic plates are slowliy settling in, all this is followed by a thick cloud of ash from the impact, refueled by frequent vulcanic eruptions , this will block out most sunlight , so after the initial toasting , the few lucky survives of this pandemonium can look forward to hundreds of years of atomic winter. Sounds pretty fuckin bad.

But guess what : thats still better conditions for life than Mars. And Mars is goddamn paradise compared to the other planets around us. Anything outside our immediate neighbourhood ? Forget it , they are ATLEAST thousands of years travel away, making moving anything of note there unfeasable. We ARE a one planet species. Get used to it , take good care of this one , its all we got.

It's supposed to be a no-wake zone

BicycleRepairMan says...

Someone screwed up leading up to this , , but the engine thrust causing the destruction was probably the right call , for whatever reason , the ship was on its way to simply crash into the marina, and that would likely cause _much_ more destruction. Also obviously too late to call the tug boats . (When the video starts)

Ex politician on Dallas: 'This is war. Watch out Obama.'

BicycleRepairMan says...

Armed cops kills hundreds in "self defense", sometimes for no reason, then armed cops are shot to death anyway, clearly, we can all see the solution here: More Guns. More Guns for everyone. Thats how everyone is protected, right? right?

Bill Nye Bets Climate Denying Meteorologist $20k

BicycleRepairMan says...

Note that he bets 2010-2020 will be THE hottest decade ever recorded, and not just among the top 10 hottest decades. This is how we know the warming is significant, the more data (ie longer timespan) , the more clear the trend is. Individual years might not be THE warmest, just because they are the latest, but if you measure in decades, this is almost certainly the case. it would be an even more slam-dunk case if you bet with centuries. This is also why deniers sometimes literally use snowballs to prove GW isnt real, because if you go for local weather on a particular day, you can "prove" anything, but the amount of data in your "research" is insignificant.

Goodbye Jeb Bush

BicycleRepairMan says...

"Please clap", oh, so many things wrong with that last clip, did he have to beg for a clap because he is uncharismatic and generally a douche, or because his audience really didnt want to clap for "a more peaceful world" I cant decide which is worse. Well, Trump is worse.

Tesla's Autopilot System Is Creepy And Wonderful

BicycleRepairMan says...

I dont think so. Maybe a few years, but once its here, it'll take over completely. before we know it we'll be legislating against human driving, and wondering what the hell we were thinking, letting morons.. uh, i mean humans, drive on their own

thegrimsleeper said:

Or in winter.

I assume the car will prompt you to take over when it doesn't know what to do. Fully self driving cars are probably many many years away.

Kevlar chainsaw chaps seem like a good idea

Electric saws seem a bit whimpy, but the'll cut as well as a gas-powered saw. I'm no engineer, but I dont think, for all their huffing and puffing and noisemaking, that gas powered saws are that _strong_, it is after all a pretty small and light engine. the trick to chainsaws is the speed of the chain.

would like to see how they do against a real gas powered lumberjack chainsaw, not the dinky little electric one.

Amazing Bowling Ball Trick Shot

What "Orwellian" really means - Noah Tavlin

BicycleRepairMan says...

Finally, about time someone explained this properly, I also loathe how the term "Big Brother" is thrown around whenever there is talk of any kind of surveillance. Every time I'm like "THE BOOK IS NOT ABOUT FUCKING SURVEILLANCE YOU FUCKING MORON!!" in my head.

First, lemme take a selfie

BicycleRepairMan says...

On the other hand, THIS video was like 90% girls taking selfies and 10% baseball, which probably means very little was actually happening in the game at that moment. These girls seemed to be paying just as much attention to the game as the commentators for the duration of this clip. pot, meet kettle.

That said: selfies are stupid. Never take a selfie. ever. forever. that goes for everyone.
