Did you know the differences in snowflakes have to do not only with the heat gradients that they are made in and re-exposed to over its creation, but also the isotopic composition and arrangement of said composition, I didn't.

Aye, I believe this should work

I use Chrome AdBlock, and it has made all the difference

I don't see how this wouldn't put pressure on the food supply.

totally agree. I have a fear of flying big time, but I still dredge through stuff like this for some god awful reason. Like some sort of strange penance, that if I drag myself through other peoples hell, perhaps I will no longer have to be in hell when I fly.

So your saying the key to science is fertility!?

I thought that was kind of a neat idea for the @dag to think about...promoting comments or something like that. I remember a great little bit about shaving on the dollar razor video...it would be nice to catalog and promote good conversations inasmuch as we do good videos. It already works pretty well with the sidebar conversation thingy, but just taking it a step further to make it a little more fleshed out. Just a thought.

Ok then, *quality

Great stuff, *promote

Walmart isn't actually the largest corporation in the world, that is Exxon, and that is just by revenue, not by profit (which the rank behind the likes of Microsoft and others). Just thought I would point that out, though, they are number 2 and not by a huge margin off of number one.

I don't want to drag this conversation out any longer, so I will just sum it up with this blanket statement. Decent, approach and landing make up about half of the risk area in flying statistically speaking. Private Part 91/General Aviation constitute the highest level of risk of any aviation. Human factors are by far the most common accident type, and this type of hurried flying is just a "human factor" accident waiting to happen. With that said, I bet there is a very small accident rate on things like this overall, but if there is, it is on someones head. So while I was being kind of hyperbolic because of my fear of flying, there are still risks to consider, and this type of hurried landing style is a style that is a human factor crash waiting to happen, which is the highest factor in crashes, during the highest risk part of a flight, in an aviation mode with the highest level of deaths per miles. He is, by statistical analysis, engaging in the most risky set of flight behaviors and conditions possible. And I am fine with that, as long as he isn't doing it over my house. That is all from me good sir, over and out!

He is placing himself in the situation that any minor, non-catastrophic failure would most likely result in the loss of the aircraft. I am fine with that, just as long as he isn't doing over other peoples houses. Good airmanship is more than being able to handle dangerous things, it is not putting yourself in them. But that is coming from someone who is terrified of flying, so take it for what it is worth

Wait, this is 3 years old?! Can we credit this single video as the starting point for dubstep?

Wow, someone take his licence away! Doing that above houses and stuff is not cool.

Ya, there is a group using this visualization to show that "gravity is a lie" so your spidey sense is right on the money. When you get down to it, the motion around the center of the galaxy is inconsequential, the orbit of the planets around the sun would be the same. And the gay spiral bs at the end, well, that is not taking into account the motion of the galaxy through deep space, making the the pattern of our motion through space just look like an oscillating mess, not a spiral. Not to mention we might get ejected when Andromeda smashes into us. In the end, all the mass in our solar system was created with angular momentum around the galactic core, and internally, the system was embedded with angular momentum around the sun.
