camera failed twice.. I think it choked on a flip or something too. Thatle learn you to cheap out and buy that J7, biatch.

Hope there's some sort of sensor to stop that table if something gets in the way. Seems inevitable someone as a prank will flip the switch to lower it while it's in use, potentially crushing legs. Otherwise though, this is pretty damned slick.

Probably nobody is following this vid anymore. I hope someone sees this comment.

Important article here. "The female price of male pleasure"

There are some bumps along the way as I read where I thought "wha???"

And.

Although it is long, every man and woman should read this. Reject what you must. I personally needed some more scientific data -- which isn't available because.... well, read the article.

[EDIT] And if you find yourself rejecting it entirely? Then allow me to quote Louis CK, an imperfect person with demons who is still flipping amazing -- Now is the time to listen.

The flip side

Here is the playlist of live trains which you can quickly flip through with a next video button. It's quite enjoyable to use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI7Uzng9fUY&index=1&list=TLGGBv__D_5Vt3owMjAxMjAxOA

They're designed to stop people from climbing over, not to entice idiots to flip over them. That said, I bet they either remove or replace them after this....if they don't remove the skate park altogether.
The kind with bent spikes would work well I think, but those cost way more.

Your video, BMX Front Flip To Fence -Nathan Angle, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Kind of surprised this made it to the Front page. His one handed egg cracking wasn’t that great, his egg flipping was meh, and taking them of the grill was average at best. About the only unique thing about this video was that he cooked about 20 eggs at the same time. If cooking a lot of eggs at once is all it takes to make it to the front page of videosift then I foresee my path to a future career in videos.

So human! That last flip was exactly how I used to do it!

Pretty much everything @ChaosEngine said, and as pointed out in the Humans Need Not Apply video. There are far more factors going into this than the economists are willing to look at.

Shelf checkouts might result in slightly higher theft rates, and each person might be at the register than they would be with a properly trained cashier, but you now have one minimum wage employee watching 6 or 12 registers, rather than 6 or 12 people... that is a huge savings. That's 5 to 11 jobs lost, and at the low end, where people can least afford to lose job opportunities. It's just a matter of time until McDonald's, Wendy's and the like all add app-based ordering, or ordering at a kiosk, and that saves a couple employees there (Chick-fil-a already has that in their app, order, notify when you are there, they process the order)... and it wouldn't be too difficult to automate the McDonald's cooking line either... the burgers aren't flipped, the grill cooks both sides at the same time, drop them in place, grill down, cook, up, then put them in the stream tray, easy for a cheap bot to do. Portion control would be far easier with a bot too... there are huge incentives for them to move to automate...

The only real incentive not to automate as fully as everyone can is the fact it would cause a huge disruption to the economy if a Universal Basic Income isn't in place. I'd expect the biggest push for a UBI to eventually come from the various industries that want to automate, who'd gladly pay an automation tax to help pay the UBI in order to greatly increase their bottom lines, because we are very close to where a UBI, even based on an automation tax, is still cheaper than employing people.

Flip-phones making a comeback?

Perhaps that's why

I imagine it must be quite hard to make comfortable flip flops.

From the beginning of this series I've always wondered why he has never tried making primitive flip-flops. The calluses on his feet must be an inch thick.

Exactly. I see a phrase all the time:

'If there are aliens in our galaxy, why haven't we detected evidence of them?'

Perhaps because they are so different from what we even recognize as life that we don't even know what we are looking for. Perhaps the use of radio waves to communicate is something they haven't done in so long, that using it to send a message in space is unfathomable. Or perhaps they never even used that technology in the first place. It's possible that their own physiology would make such technology pointless.

The point is, we're looking for them in very human ways and expecting something very human to come back. Perhaps a civilization at a stage similar to ours out there is asking the same question and using a technology to search that we ourselves have no understanding of. They could be our galactic neighbors and our differing biologies and technology could be so different, that wouldn't even recognize each other as life.

On the flip side of that coin, I once had a UFO experience that was anything but 'lights in the night sky' and the object did things our planes couldn't hope to do. So who knows, maybe they are already here.
