Daylight Saving Time 101
cryptoz says...not sure what you mean "keep it all year" but I think it means you like one part but not the other so in the end your "meh"
You have now. DST is awesome. I love having an extra hour in the evenings. I can go for a bike ride, meet up with friends, have a bbq.
Quite frankly, I'd keep it all year.
Daylight Saving Time 101
cryptoz says...Figures National Geographic would make this. I don't know anyone nor have I met anyone that says "I like DST"
don't believe in anybody elses bullshit-robert anton wilson
cryptoz says...LOL
first... it is a quote from the Lego Movie.
Second, I was being skeptical... like he said to be.
In other words, just a joke.
huh?
you mean realizing that our reality is subjective?
that we should remain skeptical of others belief systems?
especially when they are often pressed upon us?
to realize that we do not know everything,and that we must be ready to change our belief when new evidence is exposed?
THAT sounds like hippy-dippy-baloney?
do you even know what a hippy is?
Elephant herd attacks motorbike in Thailand
cryptoz says...The bike sounds like the growl of a tiger.
Spectacular Rockslide in Switzerland (two angles)
cryptoz says...Looks like a log cabin and shed just below where that bolder stopped

Fookin' Hell Jeff What a Fookin' Egg Balancer You Are
cryptoz says...For a minute I thought being shot in the face gave you super egg powers...
Kevlar chainsaw chaps seem like a good idea
cryptoz says...Don't waste your cash on those, get the old style because the wool does the same thing and you can keep wearing them after a few minor accidents no problem. The only thing I would think these would win over the old style would be weight and/or heat (old style heavy and hot) but I didn't hear him talk about that which I would expect from a sales video. But if you don't plan on wearing them for 12hrs on the sunny side of a mountain then again don't bother unless you got cash to burn.
Sadly they also cost almost as much as a chainsaw, which is why they're the one bit of safety equipment I don't have yet.
Amazing Cosplay - Comic Con Russia 2015
cryptoz says...Being a model must be a requirement for cosplay in Russia...
No sh!t!!! I had to stop and go back to make sure it wasn't actually him. I wonder if he does Di Nero impressions?
Some seriously good cosplay here.
EPIC FAIL! Twitch Live Streamer Accidentally Burns His House
cryptoz says...me me, i try
ummm
Throw fire into garbage bag because your done with that shit.
Japaness beat box it.
throw it under the rug.
try to put out fire with your left over noodle water.
yep, hard
Hard to count the fails. It's not THAT easy to burn your house down, it certainly helps to do at least 5 moronic things simultanously.
Man Schools New York State Trooper On The Law !

I think the only 'one up' would be a photo from the summit of the helicopter that filmed this vid.
A couple picts i took from around Annapurna base camp.

Nuclear energy is awesome
cryptoz says...So you need to understand Exponential Decay a bit better. Try http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/beyond/articles/ExpDecay/decay1.html
Then you discount how long people would be producing it. Sure, its not millions but that wasn't the point, just an exaggeration to help make the point, life can come back from carbon, nuclear waste is a destroyer of worlds.
First up, it's not 500 million years. Nuclear waste (typically Plutonium 239) has a half life of around 24000 years, an eyeblink geologically. Even if it wouldn't be too flash for life as we know it for a while, the planet will be fine, and life will recover.
Nuclear energy is awesome
cryptoz says...Easy now, ol' Elon admitted a few days after that he over hyped his power packs and the whole "save the world with solar" pitch. His number didn't account for numerous problems ans was a perfect situation only.
I kinda agree with jmd in that the people with the resources to effect change are comfortable where they are since they are making all the money and do nothing risky to make it. Changing gears would require some effort to hire people to do the work...
Excellent. Now we're getting somewhere. By god, I will drag people kicking and screaming into making actual arguments with real data if it kills me.
That looks interesting. Does it account for transmission losses? What about areas like the UK with high energy consumption but little sunlight?
Nuclear energy is awesome
cryptoz says...This is absurd. Current pollution could wipe out our speices and maybe all the animals... but the planet would survive and could replenish. Cover the place in radiation for 500 million years and its screwed.
I'm not against new forms like the end of the video talks about but sticking the nuke drug into the problem with the hopes that maybe someday we will have a treatment is a stupid crack pipe dream.
