Depeche Mode - Where's the Revolution? (2017)

L0cky says...

Wow, did not expect this.

Could criticise for being too on the nose but I think being blunt is exactly what we need right now.

Still, sounds like Depeche Mode hired Muse (who are obviously influenced by Depeche Mode) to write a modern song?

Either way, good job. (and excellent pick poolcleaner!)

#CreateCourage - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

L0cky says...

Yup, that's exactly how ads should be.

If your product is better or offers unique benefits, then by all means tell us; but don't tell some almost entirely unrelated story about some kid who stayed up all night wrapping presents for his mum because GIVE US YOUR MONEY.

If, on the other hand, you do want to convey a message or story - become a writer, filmmaker, painter, poet.

So ads can never anything in them that are anything more than superficial messaging?

John Oliver - Trump's Charity Roast

L0cky says...

Eh no. Somehow Trump managed to put in a performance that got him booed at a roast for poor taste.

It wasn't that his delivery sucked, it was that he had no punchlines and was barely telling any actual jokes.

It was like Ann Coultier, but in reverse.

Solving By Using 'Extreme Case' Puzzles With Physics Girl

L0cky says...

The extreme case I thought of here wasn't about the balloon, it was about the air. Imagine the air was a lot denser... like water, or jelly.

I wasn't familiar with the term 'extreme cases' but use this all the time when making logical arguments, and think of it as exaggeration to help illustrate a point.

Unfortunately, while I think it makes it easier for me to visualize the point, people are often blinded by the comical nature of the exaggeration

"What do you mean if there were 10 zillion Chinese people on the island of Malta and 3 Brits had the Americas to themselves? The world should still learn English!"

(Someone trying to argue that even if Chinese was predominant, English would still be used in a larger geographical area, and me attempting to use exaggeration to illustrate that it's besides the point).

Problem 1: Tip toward the wood, as the wood will lose more buoyancy from the air than the lead.

As for the extreme case here, let's use the helium balloon. You tie the helium balloon to the right hand side of the scale. Now, to get the bar on the scale horizontal (balanced) you need to hang the lead weight closer to the fulcrum but on the right hand side of the scale too.

Now remove the air.

The balloon was only pulling up because of the air. Without the air it will hang down. So, we now have two things hanging down on the same side of the scale, so it's very obvious which way the scale will swing...

Problem 2: pi*20m Circumference = pi*diameter. Poles increase diameter by 20m. Really not sure where the 'extreme case' comes into this though?

I Give My Money To Millionaires And Dont Give A Fuck About U

L0cky says...

There is a scheme in the UK for anyone to become self employed by becoming authorized sellers of The Big Issue; a topical magazine about social and political issues.

Vendors pay for the magazines and sell them; taking half of the revenue.

The company pays some of their profits to a charity subdivision that helps the homeless and those in poverty.

What exactly is a 'big issue seller'?

L0cky says...

Sagemind and artician's comments are also in reference to Goodfellas.

Rather than tell you why it's relevant you should stop reading this sift before someone spoils it for you, and go watch one of the greatest movies ever made

You would be correct, aside from being another mob film I would not understand it's relevance here.

L0cky says...

You're talking like someone who's never seen Goodfellas.

I don't think the joke part at the end did anything to lessen the intimidation factor, if anything, it heightened it. The fact that characters like the one Depp is playing can murder someone in cold blood and then laugh and joke about it a second later just illustrates how much of a psychopath this guy is.
Notice that the guy he was "joking" with, wasn't laughing at the end of this trailer, that's because he knows what this guy is capable of.

Cop Knocks Out High School Girl

L0cky says...

As it feels a bit strange siding with the cop on this one, lemme stretch.

The dozens/hundreds of other cops who use unnecessary force will only contribute to situations where citizens have apparently little to no respect for the police in general - as appears to be the case here.

I knew ocean Sunfish were big, but this...

L0cky says...

Also humans haven't found a way to populate the oceans yet.

Esoog said:

Wow...that thing is huge! Hard to even comprehend.

Here some more information, and part of the reason why they arent extinct:

Sunfish live on a diet consisting mainly of jellyfish, but because this diet is nutritionally poor, they consume large amounts to develop and maintain their great bulk. Females of the species can produce more eggs than any other known vertebrate. Adult sunfish are vulnerable to few natural predators, but sea lions, killer whales, and sharks will consume them.
