Happy 11th Birthday, VideoSift :-* (Sift Talk Post)

sillybapx says...

Glad this site is still around, despite semi-abandoning it about 4 years ago. I just got told that I'd been with video sift for 10 years, glad to see Mintbbb, zifnab, dystopianft, ant, and all the rest still as top users!

Still got any zero punctuation videos?

How far away the Moon REALLY is...

sillybapx says...

Wow, I never realized that the Basket ball/Tennis ball diameter ratio was so close to the Earth/Moon diameter ratio. The Tennis ball diameter is too big by just 2.3mm. That's an error of 3%. Pretty dang accurate for common items. Of course, you should probably slightly deflate the Basketball which would better represent the non-spherical tidal bulge of the Earth - and by doing so make the Tennis ball even more accurate of a model.

Remember the Sabbath

Rottenseed, there is no need to wonder the IF of this video. I bought a very nice whirlpool range and it malfunctioned into SABBATH mode - staying at about 200 degrees for 3 days. None of the buttons responded and the display simply said SABBATH. I was afraid it was god trying to burn down my atheist abode- then I just turned the breaker off.

I also think it is interesting that Rachel Maddow tries to steer the future discussion on his campaign:

"I think [Civil Rights Act] is going to be the focus nationally on your candidacy now, and you're going to have a lot more debates like this, so. I hope you don't hold it against me for bringing it up, I think this is going to be a continuing discussion for a long time, Dr. Paul."

"Well I think what you've done is you bring up something that really is not an issue, nothing I've ever spoken about or have any indication that I am interested in any legislation concerning. So what you bring up is sort of a red herring - or something that you want to pit - it's a political ploy. I mean, It's brought up as an attack weapon by the other side, and I think that is how it will be used."

It really is agitating that this is the coverage that his campaign is getting. It is a technicality in Libertarian thought, that is sensationalized. I'm sure that he is actually running on a platform that doesn't even mention the civil rights act - or any acts of segregation or civil rights. This segment is an unfortunate waste of time for both Rachel Maddow and Rand Paul.

Rachel Maddow Interviews Rand Paul

Let's see... there's the easy way to have this discussion
Q: "Do you think the Civil Rights Act and the ADA are overreaches in government?/ Would you have voted for the Civil Rights Act in 1964?"
A: "I support the Civil Rights Act and believe that America still has a way to come for true social justice"

Then there's the way that isn't a canned politician response, and actually shows independent thinking.

Q: "Would you allow a private business to have a "No Blacks Allowed" sign?"
A: "I would be insulted to even see such a sign at an establishment, but the freedom of speech alotted to us by the constitution and bill of rights protects the rights of all people, even bigots and racists, and we must respect that."
