Flyboard® Air Test 1
SFOGuyI was, to my infinite surprise, real.
Guinness just certified it.
"Franky Zapata, the French jet ski champion who invented the Flyboard Air, has set a new Guinness World Record for the farthest hoverboard flight. Zapata achieved the feat Saturday morning off the coast of Sausset-les-Pins in the south of France, riding his Flyboard Air hoverboard for a distance of more than 2,252 meters (7,388) feet). That far surpasses the previous record of 275.9 meters (905 feet, 2 inches), set last year by Canadian inventor Catalin Alexandru Duru."

Artist makes perfect shiny balls of mud (Hikaru Dorodango)
PaybackI think drone video is starting to jump the shark. It's not at the ramp yet, but it's up on the skis, sticking out its thumbs, and about to say, "Ayyyyy...".
Bill Maher: New Rule – The Self-Esteem Movement
ChaosEngineYeah, I used to like Maher too, but I'm kinda over him now. Even when I agree with him, he makes his point in such a douchey way that I find myself wanting to NOT agree with him.
As to the points, in each instance you've basically said that if the child is behaving badly, they should be corrected. Of course they should.
But a child is not automatically in the wrong.
A parent might have good reasons for siding with a child. I'm grateful my parents did when I was a kid. I stood up to a bully and got in trouble for fighting, and I refused to accept punishment for it. My parents listened to me and accepted that I was defending myself.
A child can talk with adults as long as they realise the whole conversation doesn't revolve around them. My friends 4 year old is really excited about learning to ski and she will often sit with her dad and I as we talk about snowboarding trips and ask to see pictures or ask about mountains. She knows not to interrupt, but she also knows we won't tell her to be quiet either.
My mistake.
I'll admit, his delivery is going down hill these days. I've been a fan for a LONG time, but he's not as good as he once was by far.
I get especially annoyed when he gets upset when his audience groans at a bad taste joke, it's like he doesn't understand that's a POSITIVE reaction to a bad taste joke, and indicates his audience understands it's in bad taste. You would think he would know that after 3+ decades in snarky 'comedy'.
To your points....
When a parent takes the kids side over the teachers....well, that depends on what the issue is, but on it's face that's also coddling. The implication/infrence is that it would be about the child's behavior in class, or their academic performance, and in either case taking the child's side over the teacher is teaching them that they are more important than the authority, and/or that their word is going to be taken over an adult in authority, and their POV or opinion is the only one that matters. That's terrible, and sets them up for failure and/or prison later.
Not telling a child to shut the fuck up when they are rudely interrupting adults DOES breed poorly mannered narcissists, as it's teaching the child that what they have to say is the MOST important thing, far more important than the adult discussion they are interrupting. That's terrible, bad manners, completely unrealistic, and not good for the child's development into a decent human being. Children are not adults, and 99.9% of the time what they want to say/ask is not important. Even in those rare cases where it is important, not teaching them to not interrupt creates mannerless narcissistic douchebags that never allow other people to speak and believe their every fleeting thought is golden.
Asking a kid where they want to go to dinner....OK, that's stupid. If you just ask them, the child isn't automatically in control. If you always ask them at every meal and defer to their whim over the wishes of adults (which is what I think he meant, but not what he said), that's coddling and breeding a narcissist that believes his is the only opinion that matters to anyone and should always take precedent over other's needs/wants.

Shredding in a human ski suit
ChaosEngineSo much waxing... so many edges to tune!
Also, am I the only one who thought this was going to be about a serial killer making a "human ski suit"?

Verstappen's Kitzbühel F1 Race On Snow Covered Ski Slope
oritteropoI'm pretty sure they have only ever done this stunt once, and they didn't have the right permit to drive on the ski slope and were threatened with a €30,000 fine!

newtboyThis looked right up your alley. Formula 1 car racing a skier down a ski slope...yes...both of them on the ski slope! WTF?!? Is Red Bull alcoholic now? That's the only reasonable explanation for this. ;-)

Father Rescues Son from Tree Well
Engels says...Am I missing something here? Ending up in a tree well while skiing in a copse area is quite common. Maybe not quite as deep as this kid got into, but its hardly an act of heroism here...
Father Rescues Son from Tree Well
PaybackAs a teenager, I went skiing with my school class. A friend of mine went out of bounds because he was a typical adrenalin moron, and fell 20 feet down one of those head first. Broke both wrists. If ski patrol hadn't seen him and hadn't been following him to give him shit/kick him off the mountain, that he would have died was almost assured. It was snowing at the time and got really heavy that night. He wouldn't have been found until Spring because he was too far down for anyone to hear him from further than about 20 feet away, and there was no way he was climbing out without wrists.
Father Rescues Son from Tree Well
newtboyLucky kid.
When I was a kid, I fell into one of those head first, and was completely upside down with my skis still on holding me from sinking deeper. I was the last person off the slope that day, so no one saw or helped me. It took me an hour to dig myself out, and I almost died. I totally get the screams of terror, it's pretty scary to be buried alive.

ChaosEngineBest comment I have seen on this video.
"How does this dude even ski when his balls are so fucking big?"
Surfer Garrett McNamara Injured at Mavericks
articianThey're nearly always towed in by the jet-skis. It's almost impossible to paddle into waves that size, and when someone does it's usually pretty significant.
Eddie wouldn't tow.
That was sick. I can't even imagine the balls of steel it takes to paddle for one of these waves let alone make the drop and try to ride one.
