They're using port injection, so without the engine turning there's nothing to pull the fuel into the cylinder.

I love all this technology though, I'm a real petrol head but I really do think this is the dying throws of the internal combustion engine. Electric motors just have so many advantages and the disadvantages are disappearing fast.

Not sure if they have it set up like they do elsewhere and the way other companies do it (like Time Warner/Spectrum did here in Austin), but most of these workers will likely be contractors and the only relation to Comcast they will have is the name on the trucks.

The modus operandi was, and maybe still is, issue an apology, fire the specific contractor, and hire another. When these people go to sue Comcast, their lawyers will tell them that the people were not directly employed by Comcast and therefore are culpable separately. Then you get into the whole hassle of trying to track down the contractor, who usually disappears and reappears under a different name.

I remember getting pissed at Time Warner (pre-sellout) because one of their people trespassed on my property and left my gates open. Fortunately my dogs didn't leave, but they could have. He had right of way to cross one gate because their pole is considered part of the 'easement' to the utility company's equipment. The second gate was padlocked and he cut it off because he didn't have a proper ladder to reach the pole, I assume. I called them and they first tried to BS me that the easement covered both gates, but I told them I had the surveyors confirm it didn't when I redid the fence the year before. Then they said that they weren't the direct employer and the guy was a contractor. I asked for info and they gave me his company name only after I complained to a supervisor. His company had a web page, but none of the numbers worked and the 'business address' is basically a knife sharpening shop in central Austin. Time Warner apologized when I called back, but the most they could do was give me a couple of free months service.

This is my second favourite carol by the HP Lovecraft Historical Society. My favourite is http://videosift.com/video/Carol-of-the-Old-Ones. They also do a damn good "Oh Cthulhu!"

You can buy two albums of them from hplhs.org, or from any good music store (so long as the angles inside don't quite measure up and it disappears when you go to look for it again).

My only problem is that every time I hear the 'originals' I sing along to the Cthulhu version.

Ok, in the interest of fairness I did some further research on this issue.

He was fined a total of 42,000 dollars. This does not count his accrued court and legal fees which are estimated to be around 100,000 dollars at this time. I won't bother converting that to USD, but he is going to be out of pocket 142k as a ballpark figure.

This is the joke:

“Everyone said he sucked, but I defended him,” Ward says. “They said he was terrible, but I was like, ‘He’s dying but he’s living a dream, leave him alone.’ ” The niceties end when Ward figures out Gabriel isn’t actually dying. “He’s unkillable! I saw him at the water park, and I tried to drown him, but I couldn’t. Then I went on the Internet to figure out what was wrong with him, and you know what it was? He’s ugly, goddammit!”

That is all. He was making a joke that he thought the kid was being given a 'make a wish' type thing because he was dying, but that he was just ugly.

I listened to it and it wasn't really funny. However, it wasn't 142k worth of court costs and damages either. The kid, disability or not, is now a public figure and should not be protected from jokes at his expense. The fact that a comedian called him ugly does not mean he should get 42k in recompense because it made him feel bad. Fuck, if I got 42k every time someone called me ugly in jest, I wouldn't be posting here. I'd be on a damn Yacht in the Mediterranean.

People say hurtful things. How many people looked at this kid and made fun of him when he was trying to sing the Canadian anthem at a Hockey game? Does he deserve 42k from each of them?

One of the talks I listened to as part of this research brought up a salient point. The commission that was created to address hurtful speech has clearly ran out of 'real' hate speech to go after. To save their jobs, they need to start going after the next level of 'hate speech'. Where better to look than blue comedians?

This brings me back to my original point. If you create an organization and give it power to control what people say through punitive measures, it may work great when your group is in power. You will probably have no issue with it, as long as it goes after speech you dislike. But, no group is in power forever and organizations don't just disappear when a new group of leaders come into power. Suddenly you might really come to regret your choice to create that organization, especially when they decide it is 'YOUR' words that need to be penalized.

That said, my only dog in this fight is that I think it is idiotic to limit what people can say. They don't stop saying it, they just stop saying it around people they don't trust. This sows the seeds of dissension and the harvest is never a good one.

Meh, I'll upvote if only so that we can have some variety here on the Sift. Sure, the arguments made in the video are painfully absurd but I'd rather seem them ripped to shreds in the comments then disappear from the Sift entirely due to downvotes.

(edit) current user list is working now
(edit) and it's gone again

The 'current user' list has disappeared it seems. For the last at least 60 min its showing no one. Not even myself.

Also the bottom of my page looks broken. I can't recall it ever looking like this.

Did a test. No way of adding a thumbnail to my own post

and once again, the video disappears. while I will say it's *dead , there is the "official" video from the adult swim that's you can use.

Hopefully this will be the last time there will be issues with this video.

Surprised myself by getting caught up in this and watching the entire show. It's a far cry from the crawfish boils my extended family would have in the Black Hills. We kids would spend several days catching crawfish one at a time until we had a washtub or two full. Then they'd disappear in an hour or so of feasting.

For some reason (likely suspicious water quality) we never did the same her in the Kansas City area.

I respect your opinion, but I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the wheel was originally there when the video was shot, the PS expert erased it from the frame, then back when the video was shot it made the wheel disappear and caused the guy to crash in the video.

But that's just my expert scientific analysis of the situation.

Wait, he erased the wheel from a frame of the video and that caused the wheel to retroactively disappear? That's literally not possible.

If they're going to coach actors on anything they should start with "don't freak out after the guy has turned around, when you would literally be unable to see the scary spider." It's like they're scared because the spider disappeared.

Still, the spider on his back - that's real right? Looks pretty convincing.

...and for his next trick, watch as he makes their children disappear!!!

Yeah, he hits the tee, but he ONLY hits tee. If you freeze frame the moment before impact, you can see the club head is well below the ball, if he'd made any contact, at best the ball would have gone nearly straight up.

The flat lighting makes it hard to tell, but it also seems the ball's shadow disappears as soon as it starts to move.

Thank you!
The video pretty much steals the thunder of the chewing gum promoters, so, yep, I expect it to appear and disappear with some regularity.
