Another successful launch, land and relaunch by SpaceX:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PHkgSEX11o&feature=youtu.be

Always cheers me up. Would love to see one of these launches in the flesh. :D

[Psychosplodge]

I bet a rocket launch is an amazing thing to see in the flesh. Like the difference between watching a vulcan on youtube and standing under it as it flys by X10

[CoffeeGrunt]

I saw a Corsair flyby last year while I was at a tank museum, (there was an airshow nearby, apparently.) God damn, the sound of that thing was excellent. At least, I think it was a Corsair. It was high-altitude and the WWII-boffs hanging around the Centurion tank seemed to agree it was at least American. :P

Also, that moment when an article (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/off-grid-couple-home-school-8435421)comes up that makes a great case for making people have licenses in order to have children.

Those are going to be some pretty dysfunctional kids when they eventually grow up. :/

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah I specifically went to Fairford last year to see the Vulcan, but the WWII aircraft group that did a mass flypast was pretty amazing as well.

Oh ffs just cause you can starve a sickness bug to death by not providing it with food does not mean you can starve meningitis to death.
And even animals chew through their offsprings umbilical cord. Did she not expel the placenta then? They make it sound like the kids were literally attached to her for a week.

Gotta love how anti-science they are...but they flew to India for a wedding, and are posting on the internet.

Call me a fascist, but IMO regular checkups and vaccines should be mandatory. Society relies on people being healthy en masse so there's less disease around to harm those who have compromised immune systems or are otherwise vulnerable. The more of these anti-medicine, anti-science idiots we have around being given airtime on their utterly false views, the more we're opening cracks in the herd immunity.

I thought it was mandatory to have a kid attend school? Seriously, I hope those kids don't end up like that baby whose anti-med parents let it die of meningitis rather than call an ambulance. (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/canada-couple-treated-meningitis-infected-baby-natural-remedies-syrup-berries-court-a6920636.html)

[Psychosplodge]

Its mandatory they're educated, I think you have to specifically register them as home schooled to avoid the fines.
Possibly entitles you to funding? IDK. I know homeschooling is a real thing.

While I think its daft not to get vaccinations I don't like the idea of it being mandatory. Education and accurate facts are necessary though.

[CoffeeGrunt]

When people ignore facts and evidence though, how can you help them? More importantly, how can you help their children?

There's very few legitimate reasons not to vaccinate children - and adults - and all of them are already in place. Compromised immune systems, etc, etc.

[Psychosplodge]

I know. Forcing people to undergo medical procedures of anytype doesn't sit well with me.

[Path Walker]

There are huge disadvantages to the public health if you allow people not to get immunisations though, so thats why its mandatory.

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah I understand herd immunity.
It's like CG put it though "seems a little bit fascist"

People should be encouraged to get them obviously.

[Path Walker]

Fascism is inherently right-wing, which mandatory immunisation doesn't fit with as a policy, authoritarian possibly.

The other option is to allow freedom of choice and the risks inherent in that. Sometimes you have to accept a bit of authoritarianism for the good of society.

[Psychosplodge]

The extreme right and left are very close together tbh...

[Mr Mystery]

Sadly, children need to be rescued and shielded from their parent's stupidity on this one.

Anti-vaccination stuff is based on a single withdrawn paper, and a whole load of made up nonsense - not that the anti-vaxxers will ever admit to that.

Daft thing? The study they cling to so dearly wasn't even claiming all vaccines caused autism. Just the MMR combined jab. And it only claimed that one was ropey because a manufacturer of separate jab alternatives pretty much paid him to come to that finding.....

[Necron2.0]

The extreme right and left are very close together tbh...

Indeed. In terms of methods and practical impact on society, the political spectrum is not a line, it's a circle.

Yeah, I'm about four episodes or so in. Watch it in English. It's one of the few anime that's vastly superior that way.

To be fair, it's also the "least Anime" Anime you'll ever watch. Steals a lot from Western Animation in style.

‘You can’t arrest the commander of an army!’

Vimes’s face split in a manic grin. ‘I LIKE it.’

‘But in fairness our–that is, the Ankh-Morpork army–are also–’

‘Then you’d better arrest them, too,’ said Vimes. ‘Arrest the lot of ‘em. Conspiracy to cause an affray,’ he started to count on his fingers, ‘going equipped to commit a crime, obstruction, threatening behavior, loitering with intent, loitering WITHIN tent, hah, traveling for the purposes of committing a crime, malicious lingering and carrying concealed weapons.’

Jason Hanley, a construction worker, decided to cheer up the children at a hospital, Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend, Indiana with a creative idea. Constructing a Waldo with the help of his daughter, he made an eight-foot tall effigy of the beloved character Waldo from the children’s book series called “Where’s Waldo?” and hid it at different places for the young patients to spot next door. The thoughtful father gives the children something to look forward to, a fun game to keep them occupied while they recuperate, has inspired many people.

HARDCORE rave music will outlast everything else in the universe, scientists have proved.

Researchers at the Institute for Studies tested the permanence of hardcore by putting a ‘tape pack’ from 90s rave party Fantazia into a particle accelerator.

Professor Henry Brubaker said: “Physicists agree that the universe, and time as we know it, will eventually come to an end. However, hardcore will never, and can never, die.

“Our experiments have demonstrated that the music of DJs like Seduction, Slipmatt, Vibes and Easygroove is immune to the rules that bind everything else in existence.

“It appears that hardcore – by which I mean jungle, happy hardcore and various types of techno – is made of special particles that reverberate at a unique frequency. Although we do not understand how or why this is possible.

“Effectively what I’m saying is, hardcore is mental.

“When the universe eventually implodes, there will still be hardcore, just banging away in the void.

“No ravers though.”

Professor Stephen Hawking said: “Hardcore will never die? We already knew that.

“I said it myself last week while listening to the seminal ‘Grooverider at Biology ’91’ mix tape.”

You say that, but most invasive species started as fads, so a few in an area is a problem as raccoons are elusive buggers.

I suppose. But they are already here as pets. You can no longer buy, sell, transfer ownership(except to a zoo or rescue facility apparently) or breed them though.

This is exactly how grey squirrels were introduced to the UK, and they've spread like wildfire over the last century and a half, and are doing the same thing in Northern Italy (also from feral ex-pet populations). However, the recent evidence about the effect of pine martens on grey squirrel and red squirrel populations is giving some hope to returning the situation to how it should be.

There was an article stating that cats have been linked to the endangerment of a load of bird species, though I never looked into it enough to see whether it was true. Sounds feasible.

[Psychosplodge]

Its a common theory, but its also genrally attributed to changing farming practices as well as issues on their migratory routes. I think they were talking about cookoos that migrate through spain to africa having higher mortality than those that migrate through italy and this is partially responsible for their decline (other theories had been decline in the species whose nest they lay their egss in)

Weren't a breeding pair deliberately released?
Don't some US states have similar rules against hamsters? I'm amazed hamsters even manage to reproduce they hate each other.

If I remember correctly, deliberately in the sense of the people owning them were bored of their not-so-new pets so just released them. It wasn't done with the intention of starting a wild population. There were also other releases and escapees from various estates around the country. They were quite popular as a pet amongst the upper class at one point, then everyone just kinda got rid of them when they went out of fashion, but they survived in the wild and thrived.

[Psychosplodge]

They're too bitey to make good pets.

[Haighus]

Pffft do you think a toff actually held one?! They would've paid someone else to get bitten on their behalf :p

This is by far the greatest thing I’ve found in a junkyard.

So about a year ago me and my friend Nathan were walking around the “Pick-a-Part” in Clarksville Tennessee… We were searching for car badges and a spoiler to put on his trashy conversion van. While going through the lot we found what is probably the single greatest car to ever drive on any road in the world.

http://65.media.tumblr.com/61f30fc9cdd553248b97936a9cff5109/tumblr_inline_o7oqrpiJc31qmqn62_1280.jpg

You are looking at… a Dora the Explorer themed gangster car… I’ve seen spongebob themed cars, Newport themed cars, sports team themed cars, but THIS.

http://67.media.tumblr.com/c6ceaecad418143157c20a48dd2b4f32/tumblr_inline_o7oqt7bI9v1qmqn62_1280.jpg

You see… there has to be a reason that a car like this…

Would end up in the junkyard… SO me and Nathan did some looking around and tried to figure out why…

[CoffeeGrunt]

If anyone hasn't been watching the rebooted Robot Wars lately, I highly recommend it. This week's episode had the adorable April and her robot Glitterbomb (http://robotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Glitterbomb):
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/robotwars/images/2/21/Glitterbomb_team.jpg

It's pretty cheering to see a robot designed by a nine year-old girl, (she designed the colour scheme too.) Sadly it doesn't go well in the cutthroat arena of Robot Wars, but hopefully we see a Glitterbomb MkII with an even spikier axe. :)

I have.

But BoLS Forum Rule #4758693374b clearly....clearly state that Babymetal songs should be shared on all possible occasions.

Like Miracle♪PATIFUL♪Hamburger - no metaphors about love or anything, just a straight up ode to the deliciousness of hamburgers:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGG0t-psqNo


Today I’m in the mood for hamburger
A special☆original burger
I’ll pile on all my favorite toppings
Can’t hold back my excitement♪

Yup, even if you can go out and buy them at a restaurant
Homemade burgers still taste the best, right?
My patissier blood is stirring
Come to my small burger shop!

Plop down the fluffy buns♪
Spread out a bed of lettuce
Pickles・tomato・cheese, un・deux・trois
And heart-shaped hamburger patties!
Keep piling them on and on, until it reaches the sky

A burger tower so high it makes you stretch your neck*,
Delivery to the town you live
Riding a unicycle

Or Dear Mr Socrates:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPFDHW4RFI0


Let’s give Socrates a wink and rush out to town
If we turn our back on agnosticism, the world is what we want it to be
“Cogito ergo sum” is self-conceit*
I’ll pat your out-of-breath self on the head immediately

[Mr Mystery]

Yep. Pretty damned weird!

And Hamburgers are indeed ace. My fave? Paradise Burger from Grubbs, small chain in Brighton.

Beef patty, banana, pineapple, peanut butter.

Sounds utterly revolting. Isn't.

Industrial size bottles of anal lube? Wholesale suppliers to the adult industry I'd imagine?

I find myself wondering if I should be embarassed that I know the answer to this, but it's from veterinary suppliers that sell to farming areas. When you are running a meat or dairy farm, you will have a lot of pregnant cows. And since you can't ultrasound a cow very easily, you check the foetus is growing well using a shoulder length rubber glove and a bucket of lube. Cows are big, bottles just don't cut it. :p Also very helpful for when you have an entire herd of cows giving birth and inevitably one gets stuck.

Has anyone here watched Sweetness and Lightning? It's easily the most adorable and heartwarming thing in existence, nothing can best it.

Here's Tsumugi playing "the floor is lava." (https://www.facebook.com/Crunchyroll/videos/10154067501224340/) She's voiced by an eleven year-old girl who's surprisingly adept at it. If that scene doesn't sell you, you are either a heartless daemon or you hate cute. :P

Once again, Anime inexplicably repels me.

Nowt wrong with clip. Nothing offensive at all about it. Not even a hint of 'aaaaaaaaand her comes the tentacles'.

I dunno. Maybe I trod on the toes of a witch who is also a part time anime animator, and I was hexed for it?

Looks quite similar to Yotsubato! in premise but super cute not cute & weird lol. Also the manga's by Amagakure Gido, author of some of my favourite stories (From the Aiu Station On The Hiragana Line (http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/from_aiu_station_on_the_hiragana_line), it's sequal I'll Send Her Home On The Last Train (http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/ill_send_her_home_on_the_last_train), I'm A Fool (http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/im_a_fool) & Forever Girls (http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/forever_girls)) so that's plus too :)

Also Mr Mystery confirmed for heartless daemon.

Reminds me of Have I Got News For You, where they had a guest who never turned up who was a much disliked politician with a weight problem that likely avoided it to avoid being torn apart by comedians.

Now, for a joke they put a tub of lard on his seat (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xriprw_hignfy-s05e08-tony-slattery-a-tub-of-lard_fun), and to satirise the BBC's apparent rule where all guests must be given equal screen time in a show, they had to keep cutting to the tub of lard as it was standing in for the guest.

these agreements get more and more ridiculous and corrupt. Look at London 2012, nobody other than official partners could use the name, logo, or anything else. you couldn't eat or drink anything other than official partnered products in the stadiums. local shops couldn't have an 'olympic special' meal. the whole thing just makes a few companies richer, rather than benefiting everyone as they ought to.
