Kinda dry I guess, and not like most other stuff I post, but pretty nice site with a bunch of free docs. It leans more towards the liberal/left side of the political spectrum but hey, it’s free. Also has the Michael Moore docs, which I honestly can’t stand. I feel like any possible point he may make in his exploitation propaganda is negated by how much of an insufferable douche he is.
Anyway, KILL TIME HERE.

I’ve always thought American football was a little wussy, what with all the pads and helmets. But I never knew that pro rugby was this brutal. I honestly thought it was more like touch football or some other watered down bullshit. This video has shown me the light.

And here are the same hits with seatbelts and safety nets.

From the article….

“These discs don’t destroy the energy of the trapped light, and emit heat when trapping ambient radiation. That means these metamaterial black holes could serve as the basis for solar panels that capture every wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. And do so near-perfectly, to boot.”

Been looking for more info on this for weeks after hearing of its existence. I’m super excited to eventually be able to throw these onto my roof and have no ties to the power companies.

Q: What’s the difference between Jesus and a picture of Jesus?
A: You only need one nail to hang up a picture of Jesus.

Q: Whats white, sticky and moves across the sky at a thousand miles an hour?
A: The coming of the Lord

Jesus and Moses were strolling by the Red Sea, when Moses nudged Jesus and said, “Psst. Hey, Jesus, I’ve still got it.”
Moses turned towards the Red Sea and lifted his staff on high. The angels began to sing, the gentle sea breeze turned into a raging gale, and the waters of the Red Sea were parted. Moses lowered his arms and, with a smug grin on his face, turned back to face Jesus. Jesus scoffed. “Moses, my boy,” said the Messiah, “I have still got it.” And with a flourish of his robes, Jesus stepped onto the waters of the Red Sea and began to stride across without so much as a ripple. But to Moses’ amazement, halfway across the water, Jesus suddenly began to sink. He splashed into the water and began to choke and flounder as the waves tossed him around. Moses grumbled at Jesus’ sillyness and parted the water once more. Moses helped Jesus back to shore, as the Saviour hacked up salt water.
When they had finally reached shore, Moses slapped a consoling hand on Jesus’ shoulder and said, “Don’t worry about it, Lord. Last time you tried it, you didn’t have holes in your feet.”

Looky!
“The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment has once again become one of the coldest places in the Universe.
All eight sectors of the LHC have now been cooled to their operating temperature of 1.9 kelvin (-271C; -456F) – colder than deep space. “

First off we should check in with this scientician.

Then maybe head over for a preliminary check at this SITE

Then if things are looking ok, go for the live feed HERE.

And just to get all up in there…

In case more scientific images are required, there is this one.

And to be perfectly honest I lifted most of this stuff from a reddit thread. Which I highly recommend reading if you’d like to be very entertained by a bunch of clever smartasses nerdgasming out.

watch this shit.

I really like the looks of this component bike, but I can’t imagine it doesn’t weigh a ton. Still pretty swank and possibly a nice way to travel with a bike.

This story is amazing.
