Iraq Explained -- ISIS, Syria and War

aimpoint says...

Its quite succinct in getting its message across and is otherwise a great primer for understanding and digging deeper.

I haven't watched this yet so this could be completely unfair, I swear I'll give this it's due. But 4 mins 36 seconds to explain Iraq? Seems a few hours short to me.

It sounds like a good idea in theory (entertainment wise) But in practice...a lot of a fight gets taken out...

-Your on a short time limit so endurance doesn't come into full effect

-The notion of balance is different, which might be interesting, but take downs or throws become less useful. However, posturing to compensate for wind comes into effect.

-Safety, what happens if someone gets hit to hard near parachute time. I've heard there are altitude activated parachutes but it still comes down to what can go wrong. How much of an actual fight gets removed to accommodate the jump?

-What constitutes a victory? You have a short amount of time to knock someone out? Let out some anger on your opponent?

If they find it, they will play with it!

I'm gonna bet the metal is what absorbed the blast but it looks like that giant piece of...something...not hitting him is where the real luck is.

Yeah, that blast literally shredded metal off his truck. He was probably occupying the 0.5sq meter of space that was safe. I do wonder what caused it. He clearly saw something happening.

Solar FREAKIN' Roadways!

aimpoint says...

That's why it would never be a sudden mad dash to install and replace existing roadways. Maybe a few cities or even communities will get the idea to replace their roads and people will figure out the use over time, maybe. Its a gradual process, but it certainly would lead to an immediate adoption. Existing roads have already been bought and paid for, once their useful life runs out then inevitably the question of how to spend the road maintenance money comes up and that's when these things might be useful, after seeing it work, and are willing to change...maybe

I looked at their website.

They won't even tell you what these cost.

If they were anywhere near the ballpark of existing methods, they'd be crowing about it to anyone who would listen. If these things paid for themselves in 5 years or even 10 years, every city in the country would be lining up to float some bonds. This is a manufactured product, installed by hand trying to compete with a bucket of sludge dumped out of a truck. It's not going to be 50% more expensive. It's going to be 20 times more expensive.

I'm an environmentalist, but I'm not interested in projects that are so expensive that they'll never be implemented. That's a carbon savings of zero.
