The Lexus Hoverboard - It's Real!
Um...you mean like this.....
*related=http://videosift.com/video/Farthest-Flight-On-Hoverboard-Guinness-World-Record
Well, yeah, magnets don't repel against anything except magnets.
Unless there's some physics-shattering discovery some day, there will never be something compact that just repels against the surface of random ground. And no matter how much power you have, it definitely won't be able to repel against water.
At most, perhaps some day after our grandkids are dead there could be super powerful little jets that can force enough air downward in a tiny space to support the weight of a person, but human extinction will probably occur first, and static levitation is impossible.
(They use gigantic machines to generate a magnetic force to levitate a tiny frog, but that kind of force will never be compact nor support any meaningful mass.)

A heat index of 165°F in Bandar Mahshahr... I'd say the temperature went from uncomfortable to "fuck this, I'm going to live underground from now on".
daily show-republicans and their gay marriage freak out
You are saying I ignored the subtext, but that would infer that what you interpret is in fact what is being written between the lines. Perhaps someone should ask Stewart what his position is on polygamists marrying prior to attacking him based on a subjective interpretation of what he said?
I have no cards in the game so to speak, I'm straight and "conventionally" married (for whatever that is worth), but I 100% support the right to marriage equality for people able to legally consent. I'm not a Stewart fanboy and I don't believe he is infallible, but I just do not see your interpretation in what was said (and what wasn't). We obviously have a difference of opinion, and think each other incorrect, but that's cool as well, we aren't required to agree. But saying 'it's completely obvious and if you don't see it my way, don't bother replying' is a cop out... Never mind adding Nazi's and an inferred cocksucking insult. You going for a world record of logical fallacies in one post? \= )
Irt marriage in general, my point wasn't that the institution itself was perfect, it's that every couple should be allowed to define their relationship on their own terms without anyone else stepping in to define it for them. Yes, it's a contract, but like any contract we choose to enter in to, we have to be satisfied by the terms of it. That it can be toxic is stating the obvious, but that's neither here nor there irt the topic at hand.
As to whether monogamy is a natural state, that's kinda irrelevant to the topic at hand.
And my naughtiness? \= )
"but monogamy is inconvenient for damn near everyone who practices it."
How is this not defining other people's relationships? That statement is pretty unequivocal. Not really much to be inferred there. ; )

A New Level Of Archery Skills
@eric3579 I never had an issue with all the details of what he is doing -- couldn't care less about bow strength and armor. I was more curious if he is ACTUALLY DOING IT, or if this was some sort of CGI.
I did find this one article about him, posted Jan 2015, with these two quotes that spoke to my issues:
"This guy is the Clint Eastwood of archery," says Tim Wells, professional bow hunter and host of the TV show, Relentless Pursuit. "Or if I was talking to someone who had never shot a bow and arrow, I'd say he is the 'Bruce Lee playing ping pong of archery.' We have all played ping-pong and none of us can play with nun chucks — that's what this guy's skillset with a bow is comparable to. He's a badass."
Experts agree that the skills demonstrated in the video are unbelievable, but also completely real. "His skillset is tremendous," says Byron Ferguson, owner of the Bare Bow Archery School and star archer on the History Channel's show, Extreme Marksmen. "These shots are legitimate, despite some video editing. His speed is almost unbelievable."

I can't tell if they have met this guy or not, or if they, too, are just looking at the videos. That other "world record"? All I can find is more videos and nothing from Guinness or anyone else.
So at present, I am going to stay neutral as to whether this guy is for reals or not.
A New Level Of Archery Skills
He cares enough about recognition to make/participate in these videos and post them...that's -got- to be more of a pain than dealing with Guinness would be. Especially when he's been doing these for several years now, and -claims- to be the world record holder.
By that standard, I could claim to hold any world record I wish, too.
^I noticed in this other video (below) of a different shooter using one of Lars' 'tricks', similar speed and accuracy is achieved by using the method of holding the arrows in the bow hand, and could be sped up by more than double the shooting speed if the method of notching the arrow on the outside were used. This other video shows how useful speed is in 'battle', and shows just how much only one of Lars' tricks speeds up the shooting speed without diminishing accuracy.
I admit, it is odd that Lars is not recognized as the fastest arrow shooter by Guinness, but not definitive. Some people just don't care about recognition or Guinness. I'm now on the fence, but still leaning towards it being 'real'.

A New Level Of Archery Skills
Is it a hoax? I have been rooting around trying to see.
None of the stuff I found on-line has Lars in the same room as the interviewer. He doesn't do speed tournaments because he is so much faster than anyone.
He also has been at this since at least 2012, based on dates of things posted ABOUT him.
And the most damning -- Guinness Book of World Records says Luis Martin is fastest. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-time-to-shoot-10-arrows
If this guy is really this good, why hasn't he contacted Guinness?
I think hoax.

Wait, Limbo Skating Coach is an actual thing?
New World Record Deadlift 1155 pounds World's Strongest Man
World's strongest man is usually well touted as such, seems like it's always on TV more or less, the heats are very big. Savickas is usually in WSM, but they don't often do world records - at least when it's televised here - because they don't want to strain or overdo anything during a succession of strength competitions, they want to be as strong as possible to just beat the competition in the next one!
New World Record Deadlift 1155 pounds World's Strongest Man
This is not the world record deadlift; it's just a WSM competition - last time I looked the world record was held by Benedikt Magnussen with a 1015lb.
