They have to pay $100-150 for that? That means the apartment owner gets something like $2500. Ridiculous, especially if you see the state of the kitchen, bathroom, and overall lack of hygiene.

Muslim girls collide with Teeuwen

Hans Teeuwen is a great absurdist and controversial stand up comedian.
He was a good friend of Theo van Gogh who was murdered for making the controversial film Submission about Islam. At the unveiling of a statue to remember van Gogh he sang a song in which he mentioned these women and that's how he got on the show. Here you can see the speech he made (subtitled)

Giant robots attack!

Awesome!
But I don't understand why the robots would first shoot the city up if they were gonna nuke it in the end anyway.

Urban myths about climate change

>> ^swedishfriend:
Since global warming is so controversial and hard to prove why even mention it? Air quality should be plenty of reason to lower emissions and this problem has plenty of non-controversial proof. Why even talk about global warming when it basically impossible to prove when there are plenty of other reasons to lower emissions.
-Karl

Uhm CO2 does little to the quality of air. Air with a little added CO2 is not harmful in any way, unless it reaches ridiculously high levels. Air quality is mostly harmed by aerosols like soot and NOx. These are actually cleaned up effectively. Only problem is that some of these aerosols (SO2 in particular) acted like global cooling agents by making clouds more reflective. So cleaner air will actually increase global warming somewhat.

Pixar's Hidden Secrets - Easter eggs in their films

It would be nice if the embed was of higher quality and if they had used full HD material of the movies to zoom in on. Then it would be much clearer, because those WALL-E's at the end were pretty hard to see.
The Monster's Inc one was quite awesome though.

Self Healing Bio-Concrete

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
It would be cool if we could put self replicating bacteria in our gas tanks.

They would have to have something to feed on though

Urban myths about climate change

Great video, only he can't really blame armchair scientists for not checking out scientific literature. Because most of that is only accessible at high price or via university subscriptions (at very high cost for the university).
We need science to go into public journals. The high price for articles goes mostly to the publishers of the journals. While the submitting scientists get almost nothing for the paper, only a place in a big journal if he's lucky. And the peer review of the papers is also usually done for free. Therefor all science should be published in big open-source databases. It would give everyone access and also allow much better technological improvements, because even people with low budgets could work on these things if they were open.

Zero Punctuation: Dragon Age: Origins

For everyone commenting on the game I'd like to hear the platform your playing on. I can't undersand people comparing it to Mass Effect or KotOR. With those I played in third person/FPS perspective. With Dragon Age on the PC I mostly play from an isometric point of view. This gives a much better tactical overview and is quite necessary when using the powerful area of effects spells (but only if friendly fire is on).

I've played it for about 20 hours and I still don't know if I really like it. It's good, but the worlds of KotOR, Mass Effect, and especially Fallout 3, and Morrowind, and even Risen had much bigger draw on me.

Big downside of Oblivion was the level scaling and quite repetitive world. But this could be solved by installing the overhaul which removed leveling and made the game much more interesting.
The level scaling in Dragon Age can be pretty annoying when you have quite high level characters and suddenly a large group of wolves become a danger. Or a large group of thugs which you should be able to kill easily. Also making a good party is quite tricky. Because if I just want to using a quite important skill like lock picking, that means I have to have a 'weak' rogue in my team.

What if Earth had rings like Saturn?

We could strategically nuke the Moon to bring some dust into orbit.

NASA's UFO Footage [10:11]

OMG OMG, we're under attack by lens flares, camera artifacts and space debris!!!!!
And lets not forget cosmic rays impacting highly sensitive CCD equipment. Or unfocused and overexposed dust/ice particles in the camera or just outside the lens.

I must admit, some of them are pretty strange though.

Getting Ready for VideoSift 4.1 (Sift Talk Post)

Very minor, but I'd like to see the number of * amazon invocations I've made in my profile. And maybe a little reward for diligent work, though that might lead to amazon spamming.

Explaining temperature (kelvin) and laser cooling

Very good explanation of temperature. The explanation of laser cooling, not so. It is counter-intuitive that the atoms would radiate more of the laser energy out than they receive.
Wiki explains it better

First US Marijuana Cafe Opens in Portland, Oregon

I'd like to have one of those volcano vaporizers. Too bad they are so expensive.
Maybe I can find a coffeeshop (the Dutch kind) in the neighborhood that allows me to test one first.
