This is really cool and seems like it's really easy to make. Has anybody done something like this? Does it alter the taste of the drinks a lot? I might buy some packets of that stuff if I can find a store that ships it to my country.

We have an addictive fun Minecraft PVP server in the Private Game Servers forum called Blockskrieg. One of the players suggested I post a couple of my videos here to reach a wider goon audience. :btroll: We're starting a new map in a few minutes, so now's a good time to check it out.

Boat Chase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vV9y1ZG3HA&hd=1

Defense Construction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vORt-Fh_lk&hd=1

If you were trying to reach out to a wider audience then it didn't work.

The first one is some Minecraft guys on a boat set to terrible background noise. I guess hey are virtually racing or something but I'm not sure. At some point point they fall into the water?

Did not bother watching the second.

EDIT: modern roller coasters are ridiculous

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCpd6uD12c8

I love roller coasters and don't get scared on them no matter how many loops, how high, or how fast they go. That said, freefall rides terrify the crap out of me. There's just something about that pause at the top before you drop that's really scary, and also the fact that I don't really feel "safe" because I'm just in a chair on a tower that looks like it could blow over gives me a really uneasy feeling. Surprisingly though being in a moving cart with a pause doesn't scare me, like the Superman ride where you shoot up and fall, probably because I'm already excited from shooting up. Freefall rides, and those spinning swings on a chain ride. I have terrible visions of the chain snapping and sending me off into the distance.

Crazy Goat posted:

Shared this with my coworkers - one knows the victim and says he's not surprised that he'd go on a vendetta like this.

I'm surprised people actually liked this.

Speaking just about the video, it's just a bunch of shaky camera work with some dude yelling and chasing at another dude.

Speaking about the content, this is one of the most stupid things you can do and it's completely asinine to jump to the conclusion that a guy selling your bicycle on Craigslist is the same guy who stole your bike.

For one, the guys in this video were completely stupid about it because 1) they approached the guy without cops (cops being on the way does not count—you should arrange for the cops to already be there in case the guy does try to flee, or better yet, arrange for the cops to do all the talking) and 2) they approached someone who they thought was a thief (it was in public, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that someone could have seriously gotten hurt). And secondly, it's completely plausible that a random innocent guy is selling a stolen bike on Craigslist that he didn't know was stolen. When you buy poo poo off Craigslist, do you make sure you're not buying something stolen? How does someone even check if whatever you're buying is stolen or not?

Gonna go out on a limb and say you don't ride a bike, so maybe you don't know the personal emotional attachment that comes with it. In the vid, the guy clearly states there was only 4 days between it getting stolen and appearing on Craigslist; it's extremely unlikely that someone would buy and sell a bike in that short a turnaround unless they were a) the thief and b) involved in the burglary.

I have in fact bought used but working things from impatient people with the sole intention to immediately resell for a profit. Lots of people do this.

This is poo poo. Will add some critique though.

1. There's no context as to why he's throwing the other guy out.
2. Why is the guy on his knees playing a video game on a chair?
3. Tell your camera man not to laugh when guy playing video games on his knees gets grabbed by the guy with no reason to be mad.
4. Mostly it was boring until guy grabbed other guy and tossed him out with the trash. Needs more of what happened before, a what/where/why that angry reading a book guy wants to toss out the chode playing a video game on his knees.
5. Kudos for keeping it short.

Also it's 2012. There's absolutely no reason anybody should be uploading videos in anything less than 720p.

e: Christ his other videos are just as bad and possibly worse. I don't understand any of this. What's with the dude with the scowl on his face, the stupid strawberry cup gimmick, and the whole people can't talk or whatever thing?

This video shows how America and Japan are different. The goal of this video, is to MAKE a little girl cry. The little girl is Ai Fukuhara, who is now ranked 6th in the world in women's table tennis.

Am I to really believe that out of all of the female table tennis players there are, a 6 year old girl is better than nearly all of them, despite the fact that the older ones have longer arms and faster reflexes? Really?

SpaceX is a private company that's working on getting affordable technologies for space applications. They've got a few big projects they're working on, one of which being the Dragon capsule, which has made two successful resupply trips to the ISS as the first non-government entity to dock with the ISS, bringing experiments and other items back to Earth as well, rather than just being left to burn up in the atmosphere.

This post isn't about the Dragon capsule, the Falcon 9 that it launched on, or the Merlin rocket engines it used to get off this big rock. It's about Grasshopper, their plans for a fully reusable launch system that uses a Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing system so they don't have to drop the first and second stage in the ocean. This means a much cheaper and quicker turnaround to use the same vehicle, rather than needing to creating an entirely new vehicle for every launch. They are currently testing Grasshopper, and the recent tests have been dubbed Johny Cash Hover Slams by Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX (and Tesla Motors, and co-founder of PayPal). Their most recent test, which was to test at a height two-thirds that of the Empire State Building, was just put up on YouTube:

I grew up bilingual and yeah it's called code switching. I remember as a kid when my friends would hear me talk to my mom they would think it was so cool and "must be hard" to switch languages all the time but in reality it's just something you do without thinking about at all.
