I like cdk007’s videos. They are always well put together and ask tough questions to people who insist on following dogmatic patterns of thought. Enjoy. :)
With reluctance, I share this video with you my viewing audience. Please be warned it does have some strong language at time. Also, please please do not quote to me from the original sketch. I like Python, but only in small doses.
I am a relaxed space conscious driver with hypermiling undertones. Let me tell you what that entails.
If I see a red light a couple of blocks away, I will take my foot off the accelerator and gradually coast toward the intersection. Usually the light has changed and I can gently accelerate back to the speed limit without having to use my brakes.
I am a firm believer in at least a six second buffer between me and the next vehicle. The more time I have to react and assess the situation the better.
Planning ahead is always a great advantage to me, and google maps has become an invaluable resource, along with my trusted navigator to get me/us to our location safely and on time. A corollary of planning ahead is leaving early so that small interruptions: trains, gridlock, livestock, et cetera can be handled without undue stress or risk.
The problem with all of my careful strategies and plans is that the rest of the drivers whom with I share the road with are asshats. I can spend an entire trip constantly reestablishing my six second buffer to the next car as I am continually being cut off by abeforementioned asshats who are busy rushing to the next red light. Rationally, they are neither saving time nor energy has sudden starts and stops is not particularly fuel efficient.
It is for these induhviduals, that I would gladly send a photon torpedo their way.
From the CBC –
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Police say a man who stuffed 75 bottles of body lotion in his pants couldn’t slip away from authorities, hampered by slacks that were nearly bursting at the seams.
I mean really. Really? What would possess anyone to stuff 75 bottles in ones pants? Of course, if it is hand lotion…its frozen shrimp.
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a Bradenton man tried to steal several bags of frozen shrimp from a supermarket by hiding them down his pants.
The shrimp incident was from 2008, this was 2010. I wonder if the urge to act foolish in public is on a two year cycle or something.
Sometimes I get curious about what lies below the fold on some the less traveled pages of the CBC website. I found this:
“The scientist in Dr. David Dosa was skeptical when first told that Oscar, an aloof cat kept by a nursing home, regularly predicted patients’ deaths by snuggling alongside them in their final hours.
But his doubts eroded after he and his colleagues tallied about 50 correct calls made by Oscar over five years.”
The article goes on:
“After a year, the staff noticed that Oscar would spend his days pacing from room to room. He sniffed and looked at the patients but rarely spent much time with anyone — except when they had just hours to live.
He’s accurate enough that the staff — including Dosa — know it’s time to call family members when Oscar stretches beside their patients, who are generally too ill to notice his presence. If kept outside the room of a dying patient, he’ll scratch at doors and walls, trying to get in.”
The cat is the bringer of death. Seems sort of fitting for a kitteh :)
When someone professes belief in the magical and expect you to take it seriously. Well…
If you have not seen any of the Edward’s videos, you are much poorer for it. Mr. Current inhabits the zone between parody and satire you never know which pole he will gravitate to until you watch the vid. He had his cat playing Amazing Grace for jesus a little while ago, one of my personal favorites.
