Apollo 11 Lunar Landing
 

Fascinating video of the approach and landing of the Apollo 11 LM.

Video is coupled with the spacecraft to ground radio traffic and the audio between the flight controllers at Houston.

i got 74!

it gets easier for a bit once your circle is bigger than most, but then it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid the really big circles. It's kind of like escapa. addictive

78!

BOSNIA GOT BALLS!!!

****************************************

And, I didn't know it, but...

NAZCA GOT HOLES!!!

And, now they think they know why.

Bosnia's ball is not man made. It's just like New Zealand's Moeraki Boulders.

This was interesting. I watched it a couple days ago, but neglected to post how cool it was.

Blanket fort? Not hardly. Treehouse? Not for your prince and princess. Concrete castle? Now we're talking. :thumb:

A castle fit for your darlings.

One two three four, gas plant. (man made)

Damn.

Wow - that was way more interesting than I thought it would be

Phone game app:

Sea Hero Quest

That's the website linked above, but you just go to your app store and search for Sea Hero Quest and it will pop up. I read about it in yesterday's paper. Dementia researchers work in conjunction with a game developer to make a game that reports your performance back to the scientists and allows them to get baseline information about dementia that would have taken multiple decades to gather using traditional scientific methods.


The idea is that one of the first thing to go in people who suffer from any dementia is spacial awareness. They get lost in their own neighborhoods. Scientists want to understand this better, and one of the things they need is an understanding of what normal looks like, so they can find anything out of normal. The game asks a few questions about your age and gender, and then you go on a quest in the game by trying to find goals after looking at a map. It's actually kind of fun, and gets harder and harder, so it's basically impossible to keep a perfect score. The scientists study how long it takes different people of different ages to start making the mistakes. With a sufficiently large sample, they can gain a tremendous insight into the progression of dementia.

The game tells you that you are helping research, and after you play it for a couple minutes, it tells you the equivalent amount of research it has provided. I've played for about 10 minutes and that's the equivalent of 2 days of dementia research.

I did play it while buzzed last night, and in hindsight, I think they should have a button you can click to let them know if you have been drinking.

It's actually kind of fun, so it's not just do goody stuff.

You're right, it's well-designed from a game perspective, which is unusual for researchy-based things. Neat find!

Sound don't work.

Newsweek did a short, interesting interview with Gene Simmons.

Good, short read.

Decent little write-up on Eric Clapton (who has a new album, 'I Still Do', out May 20) from USA Today.

Why do old statues have small penises? Some have big ones, but they all represented evil, or buffoons.

Wait, I thought that we wer those were average size?




Actually, I always thought "Well who wants to get caught carving a giant cock?". Out of rock hard marble, no less...

My *phone* is so old that it isn't compatible with sea hero quest. My poor little old phone, demented.

That's cool, fun watching the watermelon vs grape race. :D

The tallest place on Earth is nowhere near Mt. Everest.

The Battle of Bermuda Bridge
Funny story about 400,00 US troops doing war games in Louisiana, when three boys ages 9 to 14, brought Patton's 500 car convoy to a halt with a Big-Bang carbide cannon until referees got there and stopped the battle.

I was surprised, on that day Patton was a Major General, and Ike was a Colonel.

That's a great story.

This link is cool. Click on the state, click on the County, and it will show you the morning and evening commutes.
Now you'll never have to ask, "Where'd everybody go?"

What in the ever-loving fuck?!

How Much Does It Cost to Go Through the Panama Canal?

Interesting read.

Wow, half a million bucks for a cargo ship. :eek:

And I thought paying $99 to cross the GW Bridge in a semi was an outrage!

Actually, I knew this. I've been through that canal before and saw the check the disbursing officer cut the pilot.

Basic knife skills... for the kitchen, not the alley.

*That* was awesome. Thank you.

I think that second tomato looks delicious. And I see I've been doing the onions the hard way, potatoes too. But they seem to produce so much waste food. Really, how much $$$ did the potato waste amount to? A nickel? A dime? Still, it does go against my basic nature.

I love good food porn, and this ranks right up there.

People talk in terms of millions like it's something the fits in a pocket. Next time you hear 250 million cars or 300 million guns, think of this.

That's cool, thanks.!

Interesting read.

bandcamp.com, a nice place to find new music of all kinds.

I'm not really sure if anyone knows of this website here or if it's been shared, but I absolutely adore this website for finding new music. It's got loads of new and interesting music, and many people put their music at name-your-price values, which is nice. You can put your own music here if you make any as well, and they have an app that allows you to stream all of your purchases or download them to your phone. If you buy an album or just download a free/nyp one, you get the files in a format of your choice. It's a pretty good site, I think, and if any of you are looking for some new music it's definitely worth checking out.

My parents' neighborhood is a former WWI chemical weapons dump. Some residents got their whole yards replaced before they decided to just stop testing.

This story in today's paper is the best one I have read in a very long time. 50 years ago in DC a group of crazy kids plotted to meet the Beatles by pretending to be the opening act. They even convinced to police to give them a motorcycle escort to the concert.

Hope the link works in tapatalk.

Fuck yeah, where are the goddamned tissues?

Heh, I got a little damp-eyed at that myself.

Cocks Not Glocks

:lol2:

From the comments ...
"Enjoy it while you can. Humor like this does not present itself everyday. It’s funny in a 5 year old tantrum sort of way.More funny is all those people marching around with didoes.How did we get to a point that people can infringe on others because their opinion is different? How does a tantrum make it justified? Oh well, I’m not the one fondling a cock for the media I guess in makes sense, if I want to protest colo-rectal thinking, I should wave rectums, colons anuses, and sphincters around screaming “get your head out of you ass” I don’t think the constitution covers the right to bear penises. Does it? Arms and genitals are three different things. Imagine, years from now they show their grand kids the great “Cocks not Glocks” protest. It is true, gun control sells guns and dildos. Interesting. Also interesting, it is not inclusive. Where are the pulsating vaginas, I say! There were no inflatable love dolls or animals! Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Bi, even Hetero should be offended for not being included.
Hypothetically, had a shooter event happened, wold they wave their dicks around and wait for help? Would some sneak behind and tickle their butts until help arrived? As a shooter it would be confusing to say the least.
Oh beautiful for spacious sky, for amber cocks we wave. It’s funny in the respect, a dildo bears a resemblance to a Glock. Makes me want to go out and buy a dildo with a high cap drop mag. I mean balls, I think. In the inner city, if a negroid pointed a dick at a cop, would he still get shot? Would they riot because he died with his cock in his hands?
Another argument, is one needs a background check for a gun but not a dildo. If that were the case, what would people do for three days, waiting for a vibrator, breed oh shit no. The key is not to regulate objects, but to regulate dicks and vaginas. Those things create stupidity, much more harmful than guns or dildos.. That is unless you hide a Glock inside a cock.. Expression and arms are not of the same specific amendments, but ok, VIVA the Dildo! Trading a bang for a bang!
Stay safe, support you local militia and gun shop. Above all, support your local dildo store. Happy Tails!"
