Woman kicked off flight for not wearing a mask
Hard to believe a woman with 3 carry-on bags and a laptop would be inconsiderate of her fellow passengers.

When did an "acre" become a unit of length?
creationist student gets owned
On a related note - an interesting article from Slate written by a University of Kentucky professor who teaches biology (and evolution) to non-biology majors:

Cardboard Guitar Stratocaster Fender : Cardboard Chaos
It is weird that they just skipped over the part where they soaked the whole thing in epoxy to give it the strength it needed to work.
It is also weird to here packaging folk referring to that material as "cardboard" rather than "corrugated" or "corrugated fiberboard". In industry circles, "cardboard" is solid, not a multi-layered material with corrugations.
Reddit's Try Not To Laugh Challenge
The clip from 0:34 to 0:44 uses video of the plane striking the World Trade Center on 9/11 and that was painful for me to watch. Some of you may want to skip that bit. I found the rest of the video quite funny.
Arrested for Drinking Arizona Iced Tea in parking lot
This happened in April 2013. In 2014 there was a deal on the table the required Mr. Beatty to plead guilty to lesser charges. He refused. Early in 2015 a judge ruled that the arrest was unconstitutional and all charges were dropped.

Car Drives On Wrong Side To Bypass Traffic, Passes Cop Car
For the record, it is more than 300m (1000 ft) until it is possible to turn left (into Starbucks).

Formula E - test debut
The YT description may be inaccurate. According to what Theophile Gouzin says in the video, this car is operating with a battery that has 25% of the capacity of the final one. The final car will go farther, but not necessarily faster.
Car Parks on Pedestrian Crossing. Pedestrian Gets Revenge
The driver in the crosswalk may have made an honest mistake and misjudged the light. The driver behind the car in the crosswalk could have left room for the car in front to back up. Again, it could have been an honest mistake, but collectively they still inconvenienced or endangered at least a few pedestrians. I'm in the punishment-fits-the-crime camp.
The guy is just as much of a dick as the guy blocking the lane. Why, you ask?
Well, as you can clearly see, he is not only 'punishing' the car blocking the lane, but he is also causing people behind the car to be held up and also creating a situation very conducive to causing accidents as those people jockey to get around the blockage. Did all those people force the person in the car to block the lane? Why should they be punished for the actions of one other driver?
Basically the protester's arrogance equals or exceeds that of the driver he is 'teaching a lesson'.
Ebola Nurse Speaks out to the public
From what I've read, the video was recorded by Dr. Gary Weinstein. He was one of Nina Pham's treating physicians and worked with all three of the Ebola patients at Texas Health Presbyterian. He is not an 'administrator' at the hospital. According to the YouTube description for the video Ms. Pham asked Dr. Weinstein to share the video with the public.
Now that you mention it, it would make sense you're totally right. It doesn't at all seem natural or necessary to speak the way he did, mentioning that she "volunteered" as opposed to just generally saying she helped.

I deeply hate the person moving around behind the camera (not really), but I really like the music (really).
Can You Split A Card? - Annie Oakley - Trick Shot
I'm not an expert, but I have watched the Olympics.
Her shooting position appears to be typical for a competitive shooter firing from the standing position.
Check out the "Shooting Position" section of this page:
http://www.issf-sports.org/theissf/academy/e_learning/rifle.ashx
impressive shooting!
question for someone who knows about such things: is her posture normal for shooting a rifle? at 1:15 and 2:09 she seems to be arching her back backward with her hip forward. It looks really unnatural.
