Modern Day Child Sisyphus
Ignoring the apt title, I started off hoping he would think about it for a second and maybe adjust his strategy and was cheering for him a little.
By the end I was damn annoyed at him and now figure he was last seen scudding into the middle of a lake and then sinking when he let the damn lid fly up yet again!

Deepwater Horizon Blowout Animation
I think human errors and series of failures are often brought about by situations exactly like rushing to complete a deadline?
That's when people stop following the checklist/procedure or are overtired and not paying enough attention after a long shift or the third week of overtime.
I'm not referencing this particular situation per se or the blame part, but that's what came to mind when I read your comment.
Interesting.
So the blame is not really BP rush to get the system and running as media reported but more of a series of failures and some human errors.

OSIS+ Finest Micro Survival Kit PERIOD!
I figured you meant there was a mirror in the kit, since those are actually useful for trying to signal aircraft during the day. The fact that it turned out to be a comb amused me even more, thanks!
At least your hair will look good when they find your corpse.
Grizzly Bear Attack - Todd Orr
Without the bear spray she might easily have been willing to take the time to finish the job, it's the best investment in the world if you like to walk in the woods (bears are common in rural Canada, sometimes even in small cities if people are feeding them). I've only run into black bears and never had an issue, a grizzly with cubs charging me would be a life flashing before your eyes moment I think.
Read this if you want an idea of the right actions to take in different situations, might come in handy some day!

Can We Get Some Awwww Up In Here?
@1:17 it sort of looks like he has a brace or maybe even a prosthetic leg.
I instantly pictured that the lion ate his leg once but they patched up the relationship, forgave each other and maybe the 4 weiner dogs are just a little safety buffer in case?

There's no depression in Ireland!
The YouTube page description is just the licensing info, then if you go to storyful.com the video description is "Web Comedian Explores Irish Attitudes to Depression".
The description is "In this YouTube skit, two people are discussing a friend’s illness. YouTube comedian Sir Stevo Timothy explains the illness in many creative ways, but his female companion is sure that it’s depression. The two cannot agree, but the conversation highlights some Irish people’s ideas about this subject in a humorous way."
So staged actors but a serious topic still.
Olympian Sacrifices Chance To Win Race To Help His Brother
I know that if you didn't have rules like that you would start to see people abusing it for gain, but it does warm the heart to see an actual kind thing done and then allowed at the pro level.
Of course whoever was in 4th wanted to contest it but the guy lost in in the last 1% of the race and he also obviously ran until total collapse, I am glad it was ruled this way!

Listening to a Radio Tower With Weed
The amount of energy being transmitted into that plant to make it too hot to touch that quickly, think of how much longer it would take to do the same in your 1000W microwave.....
