As a parent, I will still call this a parenting fail. You just can't let this happen. And I never have. And if I did, I would feel terrible and expect people to call it a parenting fail.

That's the way I react when people hold their cellphone cameras vertical instead of horizontal. Don't do it people!!


People complain about this constantly, but I think it's more a problem with youtube and other video sites than with the cell phones.

Holding a phone in portrait mode, you're capturing just as many pixels. For some scenes you might be capturing a more relevant set of pixels, as well.

It's just that the videos are needlessly squished because the Youtube player won't resize accordingly.

I think this guy's reasoning is solid about all of the observed phenomena. I think cavitation is the correct explanation for the top of the bottling being sucked in. It's non-intuitive, but I think it's pretty clear that the explosion creates some very low pressure areas.

In hindsight I don't think runnign was the best thing for him to do here. Thankfully it worked this time but doesn't running potentially activate the bears predator instinct and cause him to give chase?

I think if you're that close to the bear and already moving at that kind of speed when you first see it you're probably better off just booking it like this guy did.

Hell no. Running away is the absolute worst thing you can do.
Steps to not getting mauled by a bear/mlion:
1. Stop
2. Show a short threat display (arms wide, yell, shake a branch, throw a large rock)
3. Back away


Stop spouting BS that could get people killed. It's ludicrous to think that stopping and doing a threat display would be safer than continuing on your way uninterrupted.

Ok you got me. Obama has been office for 3 years 6 months. Your too smart for me.
The Democrats still have full control of the senate and lost control of the House.


No. The Democrats had "full control" (filibuster proof majority) for perhaps 5 months, but even that is debatable because it depends on support from independents.
