Maddow on the Hypocrisy of the Miranda Talking Point

brain says...

None of these politicians believe this crap. They've just found something that goes with their message that Obama isn't keeping us safe and their marketing and PR people probably told them they should say it.

Brazillian Transvestite Communication FAIL!

brain says...

Ok, here's my best guess. This is what bablefish says:

"Adicione a comunidade da muda no orkut a bixa muda de Juazeiro-ce"
means:
"It adds the community of dumb in orkut bixa dumb of Juazeiro-ce"

I believe that muda means "dumb" as in "mute". People who cannot speak.

I've also found a article about the incidence. When translated, it mentions someone regretting the interview and something about people with hearing impairment.

So my best guess is that they were interviewing her for starting an Orkut community for mute people in Juazeiro, Brazil. So maybe the interviewer knew what to expect and that's why she wasn't reacting. Then the big question is, who's idea was it to do an interview?!

If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

Brazillian Transvestite Communication FAIL!

I've considered that, but it doesn't seem likely. If its fake, they did an EXTREMELY good job. Everything matches up perfectly. There is even background noise the entire time that never stops. It would be extremely hard to keep the reporters audio and the background noise, but remove the original transvestite audio.

We need an explanation. Somebody has to be able to translate Portuguese right? And she's being interviewed because of something on Orkut, right?

Understanding the Standard Model

brain says...

Look, this is very different from a Bible story. The evidence exists, you just need to look further than a youtube video. If you need more information about the subject, try wikipedia. If you need more information, try a book meant for a layman. If you still need more information, try text books or physics classes. The information is accessible, but there probably isn't even a single experiment to point to, and it would probably take advanced physics knowledge to even understand some of them.

Also, keep in mind, this isn't a video that claims to be describing an absolute truth. It's a video describing the standard model. The standard model is a very successful model, but it isn't even a complete theory. As admitted in the video, it doesn't even explain gravity.

But I have to say, this series of videos are some of the best visualizations I've ever seen, and fills a gap by not treating the viewer like a complete idiot.

Zzzz...
He might as well be telling a bible story since there is no mention of the experiments or calculations that give rise to any of these theories.
It would be very interesting to me to see a footnote section to each of these stated theories which there are about a thousand. Anyone want to try? Go ahead and start with the first 10 to the -43rd second and explain why someone thinks the temperature was 10 to the 32nd degrees (C, F, Kelvin?).

3 Big Ladies vs. 1 Skinny Dude

brain says...

What country is this? Where can you start punching someone because he was a "smart ass", then have other people join in on punching the dude, and then have the cops agree with you and arrest him?

Rep. Grayson on the Christian Right's "Pact with the Devil"

brain says...

I like how Grayson spends 5 minutes discussing the facts on Haiti having a pact with the Devil. And then I also love how quantummushroom posts a defense by Pat Robertson. The defense is that it's a widely discussed and popular urban legend. Wow. What century am I living in?

Google chrome complains of malware from statcntr.com (Sift Talk Post)

brain says...

Yeah, I've reloaded videosift about 100 times and I can't get it to happen again. I only saw it that one day. If I ever see it again I'll track it down.

Big Bang Theory minus laugh track

brain says...

This just shows how idiotic and not funny these stupid sitcoms are, in case you were fooled by the laugh track into thinking it was a hilarious riot.
