LMFAHS

I absolutely lost it when his questions took a big step into reality at the end. I don't typically find these as funny as I used to, but bringing up his ex-wife surprised me, and the phrasing of that last insult had me in stitches.

Can't believe they swapped spit.

Another money grab, whenever the incoming money slows down, they make a commercial to sell me ships.

After being lured into the series by CR name and the promise of dogfight style combat, I got backstabbed when they swapped to physics based to please the vocal minority. Screw the game and CR, although their customer service was nice enough to give me back 85 percent of my original backer money.

We've been on a bunch of dates
I weigh debates that this creates
And hate that state of forced introspection
We traded wit, we swapped some spit,
You fingered me a little bit
But we never really had a connection

You did nothing wrong, I have no excuse
Just my intuition telling me we shouldn't reproduce

I know I have to end it
But pretend to just suspend it
By contending that I'm busy all week
I let the foregone linger on
Text back with an emoticon
Withdraw from you by being oblique

Inside I know my tactics just delay it
But I'd do anything so I don't have to say it

I'll draw this out forever like it's Vietnam
Then one day I'll be gone like Bambi's mom Awww

Cause there's the right thing to do
Then there's what I'm gonna do
There's so much I should say
But instead... I do the fade away

Now I'm fading like chalk on a sidewalk
Or the polio virus after Jonas Salk
Like a Jewish guy at Sizzler on Yom Kippur
The Whig party post Millard Fillmore

The erection of a man on antidepressants
The cast of Diff'rent Strokes after adolescence
Reproductive rights below the Mason Dixon
Native Americans after the barter systems
Your thyroid gland after Hashimoto
The family in the Back to the Future photo
Yeah I fade away

We say that men are asshole who don't communicate
We revel in our victimhood and amplify our hate
We find ways to be indignant like it's a sport
Then dissect their malignance with the views we distort

The way men break up may be sloppy and terse
What they do is bad, but what we do is worse

We pretend to ourselves it's the nice thing to do
To let you down gently by just not ever telling you
And deep down we know it's the worst way to play it
But we are what we have... huge pussies

And women are hypocrites
Especially ones in comedy bands
We see your faults but not our own
Then we wonder why we're all alone

We fill you up with maybe's, excuses and stalls
But like a baby in China... it's better to have balls

Not the Good Wife type like Christine Baranski
So I'll pull out and leave like I'm Roman Polanski

Cause there's the right thing to do
Then there's what I'm gonna do
There's so much I should say
But instead... I do the fade away

Like Verbal Kint fading into Kaiser Soze
The rights in Arizona for a guy named Jose
Opportunities for a college grad
The love between your mom and dad
Gonna Peter out like a gay Cetera
Iranian relations since the Regan era
Black Nike sales after Heaven's Gate
Summer Camp attendance at Penn State
The name Adolph after World War Two
Like Debbie Gibson's pop career, Out of the Blue
Yeah I fade away

Cause I don't wanna get to know you
I just want to blow you... off

There isn't an embed that would allow fullscreen, at least I can't see one. It can be viewed fullscreen on Vimeo, but then the embed allows just HD and I can't see any options to tweak it to allow fullscreen.

Then I seem to suck at figuring out stuff like that.. If anybody can find an embed that allows fullscreen, please post it here and I'll happily swap!

Thanks

Embed swapped to a shorter version, no double play

Its just a preview. The backup however is the full video. Id just swap out.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Server guys say bad raid controller - it's been swapped out. Maybe we've slayed the gremlins.

It's a fun little problem, complicated by the fact that the gameshow host does not choose a door randomly.

If the host did choose a random door of the two remaining, then it would mean that 1/3 of the time he would pick the car, and you would walk away with nothing. If that was so, then your chances of winning the car would increase from 1/3 to 1/2 if he picked a goat, and it wouldn't matter if you switched or not, and your chances would go to 0 if he happened to open the door with the car.


But - the host does not choose randomly - if you did not choose the car, then he will pick the door with the remaining goat. And thus - your chances increase from 1/3 to 2/3 if you switch.

My favourite explanations of the problem:
- Do you want to pick one door, or do you want to pick both the two others? You get both the others if you swap.

- @plastiquemonkey's explanation - you'll pick goat A, goat B or the car - you only lose if you picked the car first, which is 1/3.


And *promote the good old probability problem.

I disagree. Firstly don't underestimate promote, but secondly few people realise how special *quality is until they have reached gold star and get promote too

Actually I don't really feel that strongly about swapping them... but I don't think bronze is the right time to get either.

It still plays OK for me, maybe it was blocked. But I swapped the embed to yours, so now it should work for everybody. Thanks!

This backup works for me. Ill let you swap if you so desire. Also thumbnail made me feel like i got jipped a bit.

-edit-
its a Firefox issue for me. Worked fine in Chrome

Yeah, sadly I upvoted too soon -- because I LOVE robots.

I was expecting it to have more speed and some decent leg movement for that godawful 12k price tag. Between my brother, father and myself, we own, at the worst, $500 worth of robots, and they're all just as capable -- and more reliable -- than this.

We've gotten them at swap meets, craigslist, robotics fairs, etc. and never have paid more than 100 bucks a piece. Most of them are from 20-50 dollars a piece -- and they have smart phone apps which control them remotely.

This robot is rubbish. Either that or the instructions given to Norton went over his head.

Robots of this variety have the capacity for complex choreography involving programmable while loops -- and we see NONE of that in this clip. They could have had a basic program run that Norton would interrupt via voice/remote control and it could have been AMAZING!

Why does he have to keep tapping on the idiot robot's head? Weeeaaaaaakkk...

Great clip, but *dupeof:http://videosift.com/video/Pic-a-day-walking-from-Beijing-to-Germany

But maybe @arvana can swap in this vimeo version? Looks much better than the YouTube one... Where is he, anyways? Seems like he was last here about 3 months ago...

As @oritteropo pointed out in the english version of the same sift
http://videosift.com/video/UPS-vertising-DHL-prank
(may want to swap out with the english version)

DHL had nothing to do with the video
