Thanks, you to man, when, busy holidays for sure, how about you?

Why did he blow up a Saturn!? Was that the ill-fated yet wildly successful test of the escape system?

O wow, long time no sift, sorry. Once my account got locked at work, I just never visited anymore.

But I got to head out to the rocket center for the random acts of intelligence show, it was pretty awesome. All the video here is just from one of the 2 building...so ya, worth a trip!

The Saturn was more amazing than I had imagined. I always knew it was big, but seeing it sprawled out on the ceiling is indescribable. Imagine a 30 story building filled with explosives, lit on fire and hurling itself into space...because that is what this is. I have lots of pictures if people want to see, I will surely share them.

Glad to see sift is still alive and well. The sift, specifically a video by @dag, basically changed the course of my life and I am now pursing a degree in nuclear engineering, so thanks for that. Anyway, if I can figure out a way to change my name, perhaps I can once again partake of some sift action.

Ahhh ok, thanks. So they were being harassed by those guys, mocked really.

Ok, what is the deal with the Chickens?

Looks like the DMCA stuff has stopped, but they found his Linkedin profile and are attacking im professionally now...which is probably worse

Parts 1 2 and 3 are back online, and the impending doom of his account being terminated might have passed as he is getting help from EFF

OK, started watching but had to stop, to many scenes I want to live in the moment of that episode...but upvoting anyway

Oh liberals and their anti-gmo stance, just about as irrational as any conservative anti-science position, bedfellow to climate change denialism.

In West Virginia where I was raised, there was a boulder on a mountain pass road for over 10 years. It was easier/cheaper just to erect a yield sign than to remove the bolder. So depends on the boulder and the road importance I imagine.

Half Life 3 confirmed

That is the reporter lady from House of Cards right?

BTW, he is wrong when he says water is a better shield than metal. Lead is better in almost every metric, except you can't find a double use for lead, like drinking it than turning it into poop. But a shield of lead blocking the same amount of radiation would weigh less than a shield of water. Water ranks about the same as concrete.

Happy birthday Grace Murray, the mother of computer science. Another great lady of science!

She is one of my favorite vlogers, highly recommended
