I wonder how these autopilot cars will handle non-marked roads?

Like for example, if you're driving along, and there's roadworks, and all of a sudden there are no lines, will the sensors be able to figure out where to go?

'Bring your child to church day'

You could be onto something. Now we just need to plant a few news stories, and thus the tide shall turn.

I'm guessing probably due to the album it's a part of - there's usually a few 'strong' words in them.

@eric3579 Yea agreed, the original is probably unbeatable - it's especially amazing considering it's a guitar and a couple of blokes - they didn't have all the fancy technology and producing we have access to these days.

What's a bit weird for me, is how the cover has one vocalist but it doesn't seem to diminish the feeling. I mean the original version is so great because of how their voices combine. It must have been quite difficult to reproduce that element of the song in such a different way.

yea fantastic summary - cuts through all the bull.

It's pretty easy to watch Putin's recent video's on the sift where he is very persuasive in getting you to think it's all about American imperialism - but he's just as complicit.

Seems like a pretty good analysis.

Taking just about any supplement just for the sake of it, is pretty much like eating lollies, except they aren't tasty, and can have side effects. It's not really that calcium supplements are the main problem, it's that people are gullible.

What are the best things one can do for bone health?

1. weight bearing exercise (bones respond and become stronger)
2. vege's - especially leafy green vege's
3. vit d - get some sunlight most days

and... avoid smoking.

yea, can you imagine what Attenborough's 'Life on Earth' would be like with 6 paparazzi photographers hovering around each and every one of his nature subjects

Pretty amazing fish though

A guy I went to school with was one of the survivors of the Cave Creek tragedy in the 90's (also in NZ) which had 14 deaths. It apparently was an issue of a poorly constructed platform, and the students shaking the platform.

Four people survived the fall of about 30m, I heard one of them was able to use their partner as a 'taboggan' pretty much, which cushioned their descent, allowing them to survive. The ultimate sacrifice. Pretty horrifying stuff, you wouldn't be the same person after.

It seems like his attempts to put out the fire just made things worse as instead of smothering the flames, he kept fanning them.

I'm going off the WHO's version

"racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin"

If you read around, it becomes pretty clear that racism's definition is not completely set. It means different things to different people, and has been used in different ways historically. So really, nobodies really 'right'.

There also isn't an agreed on definition of Islamaphobia, but there are many parallels between Islamaphobia and racism, with some definitions mentioning that Islamaphobia can take the form of racism. There's also an interesting read here by the Council of Europe (COE) where they say that "Islamism is the view that Islam is not only a religion but also a social, legal and political code of conduct"

Ultimately, no matter the definition, if what is happening is effectively the same thing as racism, then it should be avoided just as carefully.

Huh? I usually agree with most of what Dawkins says, but he's off the mark here. Firstly, he hasn't looked up the definition of racism, it doesn't just apply to 'race'. Secondly, it's not about (in his words) "criticism", it's about prejudice, discrimination etc.

Really amazing she still had that smug look on her face through the whole thing - seemed to have 0% awareness of what was happening.

Devon's well known in the community for having ridiculous endurance - he could happily sit there all day soaking up all of the Mountains attempts to pin him. He was also the guy that pretty much ended John Brzenk's undisputed reign at the top of the sport - and John was THE man for decades.

The other thing that's great about Devon is he's a pretty funny guy - google some of the Ottowa High Hooker's vid's, they're good for a laugh

Interesting to watch - reminds me of the video where the guy hand builds a toaster.

He didn't rate the sandwich very high, but it looked delicious.

absolutely nailed it, this is all anyone needs to know about nutrition to get their diet about 95% right. As he says, just choose your variant - i.e. the porkchop variant for @dag
