Finding electricity when there is a blackout
Because what he is doing in this video, at least in Australia, is highly illegal.

The power running over the phone lines is used for signaling purposes, its not much power in the WattAmp sense, so wouldn't be enough to power anything other than a shitty LED.

Your power outlet however outputs a few thousand watts...enough to power a decent sized room heater.

U.S 'Officially' in Recession: Dow Drops 680 Points
>> ^HollywoodBob:
I blame the poor people. How dare they not contribute to the economy by buying more shit! The economy would turn right around if everyone would do their part and spend their money on big ticket items they don't need. Forget feeding your family, buy a bigger TV. Don't pay that utility bill, buy a Hummer!

The part I don't get is where did all the money go? A monetary economy is based on the movement of money, and when the economy stagnates like ours is doing, it's because no money is moving. So like I said, who the hell is hording all the frigging money?



The banks.
They are waiting for all the toxic credit, made by home-loan defaults en` mass, to dry up and die before they start lending again.

$1000 Dollars To Any Atheist Who Can Prove A Negative
I think this kid has mixed up certainty and probability.
Show me a scientist worth his salt, who when pressed on the issue of extrapolating the future, that will make a claim with absolute certainty, and ill pay you a thousand bucks.

When it comes down to it, anything and everything is possible, even god is a possibility, as is the FSM...but how low on the probability scale to they rank when shown in comparison to accepted scientific theory ?

Agnosticism and Atheism are not philosophies of absolute disbelief, they merely put a benevolent creator at the very very very bottom of the plausibility list. So far down that its not even a consideration in anything that has ever happened, or ever will happen in terms of understanding how the universe works.

Is this the most disturbing anti smoking ad you've seen?
>> ^FishBulb:
Look at the kid. Do you think he is acting? There are plenty of reasons to quit smoking but because some a-hole left a kid in a crowd isn't one of them.


Totally missed the message.
Listen to the VO guy at the end....pretty big tip.

Senior Lawyer Explodes/Schools Stupid TV Anchor
That was the best video Ive seen on here in a long long long time.
Despite the accent, that lawyer is SPOT on.

Media hyping high profile cases and prejudicing the population one way or the other is stepping over the bounds of what the press is supposed to do. This reporter just could not get that through her thick skull.

"Why are you defending the indefensible ?"
"Why are you defending this man ? "
"Some people believe he is guilty, why are you defending him ?"

....my GOD, the sheer ignorance.

It is not for the press, nor the public to decide whether a man is guilty or not, or if he is to even receive a fair trial, that is what our court system is for, and to put your foot into that arena and claim any kind of moral high ground, asserting that you have a judicial right to bring "public opinion" into a court case like that is TOTALLY unprofessional.

HUGE respect for the lawyer.

Special Ops Extraction
>> ^ren:
seems stupidly dangerous to half submerge a chopper to doit tho.


Why ?
The working components are about a foot up from the bottom of the fusealage, and anything up to the air intakes is pretty much waterproofed to begin with (for this purpose).

Those babies can lift tanks, a little bit of water isnt going to hurt it.
