Good job. I wonder how fast these can go. A pro should be able to make a wind driven water speed record.

He could have saved some weight by using expanding foam instead of wood as the core and using molds to form the pieces. Then the foam supplies both the pressure and heat to cure the resin, so no vacuum bags needed.

I'll say one thing about "nothingness"... It's that it may not "exist" (like it's a tangible object, heh) or have ever existed, except as an idea within our minds.

The reason I say this, is that for now it looks like the closest we get to "nothingness" is a Universe (or even before the Universe came into being) there was/is something called the Quantum Foam. In fact this may have been the way the Universe was created (there is a great video on here that talks about this topic). If I find that video I'll link it here.

ye, all I could think watching that was that I hope he is doing that somewhere well ventilated.

Now do it with dry foam!

Is the next video going to show the effects of inhaling a block of vaporized floral foam?
*quality weirdness

The only people who would possible care about this, at all, are the rabid, foaming at the mouth Republicans who really, really hate Obama and anything he does (including things they agree with). These are the people that when they walk into a room feel this need to let us all know some *fun fact* that obviously (if even true) makes the president out to be the source of at least all the evil on Earth. Then desperately throw out another *fun fact* to make it "look" like they don't rabidly hate Obama; and fail miserably.

Obviously these are the people that talk to their ONE group of friends and spend the rest of the day yelling at the TV screen with Fox News on it.

It's sad that I am NOT making this up.

Not many people know this but a foam noodle is the same density as a grown man's torso.

What did they say they wrapped the handle with? Was it ray skin?

Gallon milk container with polyurethane foam and lead weight.

One of our rules was fastest time...

So awesome.

Their next challenge will be to get it to deal with obstacles that are not static. When the humans rise against the machines the meatbags won't be standing still like those blocks of foam.

Two things, no, actually three:
1. To answer your question directly: because letting LGBT people have these rights has no negative effects for society and requires very little effort. There are no measurable downsides here.
What's supposed to happen? Tell me what the negative effects will be. God's gonna make a pouty face and floods the earth again?
Another thing is, how is it the government's business who you can marry? Why should they get to decide that you can't marry shinyblurry if you really want to? Are you that fond of government intrusion in your life?
2. Capitulate? Are you at war with the gays? Did they stick a flag in your ass and declared it their territoty? Is it really an us vs. them situation? Are you sure you are not actually the problem?
You can only capitulate to an adversary. How are the homosexuals harming you? Are they taking anything away? Are they threatening you? Fact is, you are the one who wants to deny right and limit other people's freedom to be left the fuck alone. You're the agressor here. If you would stop that behaviour, nobody would give a fuck about you.
Why should I, who doesn't care what unknown gay people do, and we, who want them to have their rights, capitulate to agressors like you, who insist on regulating nobody's and especially not their own business? Why can't you leave the homosexuals alone? What's your fixation here?
3. Stop it with that "evolutionary dead end" crap! Every marriage with someone who is unable or unwilling to have kids is according to your definition one. Are you really willing to argue that people who can't procreate shouldn't marry? Are you going to tell every woman over 50 they can't (re)marry? Are you willing to walk up to a soldier who got his nuts blown off in Iraq that he can never ever marry the woman who doesn't care about his lack off balls? I'd love to see that. And what his buddies will do to you. And his wife.

Fact is, you don't like homosexuals. I don't know why but I do know that more and more people don't care about them. We're past the tipping point. That's why you feel it's "capitulating", because you know you're the minority now and your hatred and abuse won't be tolerated for long anymore. That's what you loose, the right to treat other's like shit. You can't kick that dog no more because it found the courage to bite back and we took away your ability to go old yeller on his ass. Must make you mad, foaming at the mouth mad.

No roller rinks? There are a good 2 if no 3 or so within a 30 minute drive, and I live far out in the country where I can't even get pizza delivery because we're too far from anything. This is basically Laser Tag with VR goggles and was bound to happen sooner or later given how well Oculus and other VR outfits are working, or at least appear to be working. I'd guess the props are all lightweight foam to prevent injury. The motion tracking is the question, and I got to doubt it works as well as shown. We are still far from say the VR of Ready Player One or more advanced stuff yet though...

Apparently it is foaming not boiling.

My cats does that. Foams at the mouth too. Spooked me the first time it happened. Turns out it's kitty motion sickness.

There seem to be limitations to the device, as highlighted in the description, but even if this has only a relatively small area where it's going to be useful, it's a great step forwards. To be able to put out a fire without adding any additional damage to the area would be a huge improvement over a lot of traditional methods. Anyone who's set of a water, foam or powder extinguisher will know what I mean!
