    I don't really have a before that shows the detail, but I'll grab one tomorrow of the final product.

    Also, it was forty-five degrees at my place. I worked on the van because I tried to wash the business's Falcon Wagon(AKA The Barge), and the water was steaming off the hot metal faster than I could rinse off the suds. Gave up and washed the cars in the evening, when it was merely 30something.


    I've only ever worked on a car in that sort of heat once but I know the feeling.

    I was driving between Karratha and Port Hedland (mining towns up north WA). I had a flat and was in a mobile dead zone, it was over 40 degrees, can't remember but it was hot enough that the the wheel nuts and the hub had enlarged to the point I couldn't unscrew it. Holding on to the wrench or anything metal gave me blisters within seconds.

    Luckily I had some thick gloves in the boot and someone eventually drove up 15 minutes later and helped by kicking the wrench while I held it steady.

    I laugh now whenever someone says changing a tyre is a chore in suburbia.

    For those of you who have subscriptions to Streaming Video sites/buy movies to download like I do, I have found an insanely useful website called "Can I Stream It?" to help us find out where a movie is streaming/bought or rented digitally.

  • Okay, this is just sweet as.

  • Number 5 was very good fun!
  • European Pros showing that the AWP is not useless in pro play.
    (Can't remember which team it was but they swore off of using AWPs saying an AK is just better).
    Regardless I watched this on repeat 3 times in a row. Great find.

    I think I enjoyed the MAG-7 one mostly because I've been told a few times that the mag is super cheap and broken, and it's banned from competitive play, and everybody who kills you with it is a noob.

    I really enjoyed watching all of them. When you get to see these games from inclient view it is stupid fast how quick the player's reflexes are.
  • New Geeknights theme song!

  • Put in all my law school aps, except for one. Fuck you, University of Oregon, why do you have to be such a pain in the ass?

    So, a little girl sent a letter to the CSIRO regarding the matter of making her a dragon, if it would be possible. The CSIRO responded with a public apology.
    We’ve been doing science since 1926 and we’re quite proud of what we have achieved. We’ve put polymer banknotes in your wallet, insect repellent on your limbs and Wi-Fi in your devices. But we’ve missed something.

    There are no dragons.

    Over the past 87 odd years we have not been able to create a dragon or dragon eggs. We have sighted an eastern bearded dragon at one of our telescopes, observed dragonflies and even measured body temperatures of the mallee dragon. But our work has never ventured into dragons of the mythical, fire breathing variety.

    And for this Australia, we are sorry.
    However, in an attempt to rectify the problem on a more local scale, they did use Selective Laser Sintering to make her a dragon out of Titanium.

  • I heard about the original story but not the titanium dragon part. That is awesome. Scientists, fuck yeah.
  • Anyone else find it to be a very cute gesture that St. George bank wanted to get in on helping the girl get her dragon?

    It was pretty cool, even if I can see the link there - they kind of have a thing with dragons being their logo/mascot and all. But they still gave cash to the CSIRO to do something sweet for the kid, so I can hardly fault them for it.

  • Old but JAKU BAUER

  • I was reminded of this gem from a while back. Can't imagine why.



  • I know how they did this (there's a making of vid, 'natch), but my brain still has a hard time wrapping itself around it.
  • Happy Clarence Clemons Day! My one big gripe with the resolution is that it makes no reference to his time before joining the E-Street Band when he worked as an inner-city social worker.

    And you though American nose art was awesome.
  • Was that something she did or something someone else did to her helicopter without her knowing about it? Either way, awesome.
  • It's an organized promotional event, and that's not her chopper. IIRC, she's JSDF, but she's not a pilot. The other three women in the fictional version of the unit are not even JSDF.
  • Just found out about Chris Lilley. He's got some good shit.

    The best idea is to go back about a decade, when his one joke was still fresh. Seriously, he's been playing slight variations on Ja'mie since the early 2000s.
