Title: Stuff we saw on youtube!

As far as I am aware, we don't have a generic "Interesting stuff on youtube" thread yet. But here it goes:

Very good video, I even submitted an Italian transaltion for the subtitles, though I wonder when or if it will become visible.

commentary on a recent topic.
probably goes against want many would assume was my perspective.
Don't know why that channel doesn't have more subs than it does.

Well... Subject matter is rather niche, the person in question has a voice that I find rather hard on the ears and, well, pointing out that Milo was disingenuous has been done ever since I first became aware of him. Inbetween the many many people who have no idea who this person is, the people who already knew (or were forcibly made known) that he is an asshole and thus avoid him, and the people who love the fact that he is an asshole there's not really much room for someone to point out that he's an asshole and still find an audience. That being said, this should probably go into the trump thread considering Milo's close ties to the republican party and the chief strategic advisor.

well, that channel has more than one video, I'm surprised there are not more subs given the humor and production quality.

as for this vid in particular, I could see your point about putting it in the trump thread, I wasn't expecting a huge diversion on this thread as its just a really good take down of him. I always found him entertaining, but I never found him trustworthy.

Was watching a bunch of runaway diesels.  Diesels don't use spark plugs, they ignite fuel by compression.  So if you let the engine get worn down to the point that it burns a lot of oil, sometimes it can "run away", or start burning up its own crankcase oil.  It is impossible to stop the engine, except by suffocation (two methods I've read: blocking the air intake with something that can't be sucked in, like a board, using a CO2 fire extinguisher, or, you could leave the air filter in place and plug it up with the powder from a dry chemical extinguisher.

Anyways, found this little nugget set to "Jerk it Out" by The Caesars:

This is probably not the best forum to share this on, but:

He is also doing this:




I hope he makes what he needs, 100$ out of 1000$ raised so far.

Since this is the only forum I actually post on, I figure I may as well post about it here to help raise awareness.

The more I see Juno send back, the more I'm filled with an overwhelming sense of how utterly wrong we've been about Jupiter's nature all this time. What a violent beast of a planet! Its magnetic field is starting to resemble a star's more than a planet's!

From what I've read (I might be wrong) Jupiter actually has the possibility to become a star if it were a bit more massive, since that would trigger the atomic fusion that our sun makes.

Post by: Grizzly on June 11, 2017, 05:45:34 am
Is "a bit more massive" as scary as it sounds? I'm suddenly massively interested to know if there's a non-zero chance that Sol turns into a binary star system later on.

Jupiter's name, in hindsight, makes a lot more sense now :P

Hm, well, unless Jupiter somehow gets more hydrogen/helium to be 13 times bigger (with "a bit more massive" I mean within astronomical scales) it is unable to sustain the fusion reaction of a true star (it can however, fuse deuterium already.)
Some people call gas giants like Jupiter "brown dwarves".
Title: Re: Stuff we saw on youtube!
Post by: DefCynodont119 on June 12, 2017, 08:02:58 pm
And even then, calling Jupiter a true brown dwarf is a huge stretch. Granted, It is a fairly largeish gas giant, but it's no brown dwarf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_dwarf



And now, for something completely different:






TL:DW The discovery of scale impressions on a T-Rex fossil doesn't actually matter because the T-Rex scale impressions are from the underside of the body,
but none of the Tyrannosauroidea that actually did have feathers (Eg:Yutyrannus) have them on that part of the body. .

So finding scales there proves/disproves absolutely nothing.

See I was the opposite, at first I thought it was charming. (See his Fallout video's for an example of a right, and the smarm being justified). But now I think it's honestly a bit cringe-worthy. I think I kinda fell off for good when he made his really poor defense of Dark Souls 2 video.

Also is it just me that thinks he looks less healthy every-time I see him actually appear in his videos. He gets paler everytime. (TBH I need some more sun, and less hamburgers).

Title: Re: Stuff we saw on youtube!
Post by: Luis Dias on May 10, 2018, 04:36:47 am
I love what you call his "smarm". but obviously, YMMV. I mean, I was also into Plinkett's weirdness when his first star wars / star trek review videos came out and I know a lot of people were put off by it. It's self-aware smarm and self-deprecatory, so it's fine by my book. It also has a spec of being a commentary on vlogging itself, and that makes me smile a bit too.
