PC booting from a vinyl record (earrape warning)
There is no reason for this to exist. It's so esoteric. I love it.
MSL Curiosity Mars Rover Landing @ 32fps
Just after 1:29 you can see the heat shield impact - about 1/4 up from the bottom of the frame, just left of center.
Caterpillar loader in Kuwait is boiling hot
I'm curious if the "58" refers to Celcius. That would be 136.4 F, and higher than the highest officially-recorded temperature on Earth at 57.6 C in Death Valley, CA back in 1913.
Kuwait does have one of the top four, though, at 54 C.

MedEvac Helicopter Hard Landing
As...unorthodox...as that landing was, it was very close to going much worse at a couple of moments and I'm curious how much of that was down to luck or skill.

Jermaine O'Neal - the biggest freethrow troll in history
If I'm reading the stats right, he was hitting 75-83% with that technique. It may look goofy, but if it works...

I'd be afraid to practice that given the consequences of failure.

Alleged Drunk Driver Crash on H-1 Freeway Hits Barrier
I didn't see a sarcasm tag, so I'm going to presume you were asking about the road setup.
This is exit 19-B westbound on IH-1 in Honolulu, the eastern end of H201.
The nearest highway entry is about a half mile back. That entry comes in as its own dedicated lane, and then becomes exit-only here. (The next lane over is exit-or-go-straight.) I'm guessing the driver either entered there and waited too long to get over into the main lanes, or he drifted into the entry-exit lane to pass the car with the dashcam, not realizing the lane was about to exit.
does that seem like a proper road entry? I can't think of where I've seen anything like that before
