Experimental Boat design 1940 . . . they thought this thing could break 300 mph!! - - - - - Cut to modern times and reality, 300 mph on water has only been broken a few times. But only one person has survived, basically the risks are monumental and you crash = instant death. So that water...

Yeah, I just saw that on ( of all places ) main page of Wikipedia has a little box of recent deaths. Kyle Busch was listed. That's a sudden, unexpected one.

Yeah, What The Actual Fuck!! For the last number of years, this thread . . . eh . . . I'd visit one every 2 months maybe, just for giggles. Today I see there's activity, open it and Blam!!! I was at lunch at work, I had to explain to a co-worker why I was going a bit weird reading all of...

I just watched that Milwaukee video. There was a surprise for me They talk about some Doco with a dude making a micro budget horror movie - American Movie 1999 As soon as I see the dude and his chubby stoner friend. I'm like: "Holy shit I've seen that. It had that bit where he's adamant that...

Yeah, I don't know how they adjusted a few energy 'blah-blah' things to make this change, but that was one of the best races in years. There seemed to be little battles all through the field. Really good, I'm wondering if this ( energy PSU / battery changes ) might work better on one track, but...

I watched Civil War last night : 3 /10 I don't have an opinion strong enough to warrant necro-ing the thread. My only interest honestly was to see the 'what kinda Americans are you' scene as it such a well known meme. My opinion: Basically the first 4/5s of the film felt like watching an okay...

It aint real, but it suits: Australian Research and Space Exploration.

Sunny day in Siberia:

Former F1 driver Tarso Marques ( he was never in a big team, but made it to F1 ) designed and built his own motorbike. Yep those wheels are like that and do work, there's video footage of this thing getting around.

I just put this image in to Google AI . . . it couldn't see a problem with it. Good luck filling my job AI, hah

Back in the late 80's / early 90's James Cameron was like a film making god to me. Me and friends would be sure to go to opening night for his films. And thinking about it, rightly so his movies back then were such a level above anything else. And then it's been a slow decline, over the well...

Watching that Peter Jackson announcement video.

I'm in love

The oars-men / rowers are facing 2 different directions. That boat ain't going anywhere. Perhaps that's another layer to the joke . . . perhaps - - - - - - - - - - Edit: holy crap I forgot the rule, yikes:

This is real, not AI. There's a Santa Claus village up in Finland

WTF! Piastri just crashed out on the out lap.

It just creates that unusual thing where the car starts to come off the throttle when it is still in a 100% throttle part of the track, which I heard them say that it's recharging. The commentators I was listening to were getting caught out by it more than once. It does seem counter-intuitive

FYI all of that in the Background is Mt St Helens erupting, the group here quickly ended their waterski day and fucken fled.

Corridor / walkway inside a Cold War ICBM bunker. God damn Sci-Fi movie stuff right here:

These big Russian nuclear powered ice breakers can just power their way to the North Pole. They take paying passengers too.

Picture taken in 1947 Look at this Alpha Male: 6 foot 7 Danish Arctic explorer, Peter Freuchen. Wearing a coat made from Polar Bear fur. Shit he probably killed it with his bare hands because he wanted to. Can you imagine how massive this guy would look in this huge fur coat. Oh and that's his...

Nice campfire you've got there . . . inside your tent!

I go to scroll through this thread from the start as it's pretty short, I see on page one of this thread. Aug 10, 2015: I guess it's from over 10 years ago, I still saw the irony

Damn F4s were cool planes:

He's the best guest for RLM, he bring so much, unlike other guests where it feels they need to accommodate them during the filming. He had me laughing multiple times during that quiz episode.

Good, good to hear that you got through and liked it.

the Nerdrotic vid on Stranger Things S5 talked about that, it was the first time I'd heard of it. He used the term secondary viewing, that people are only semi interested in the show or film that they're "watching" I say fuck 'em, do the thing properly and don't cater to these idiots. Clearly...

Ha what, I hadn't known about that being the final episode, as I never watched ST: Enterprise. So I saw your post, and thought I was reading it wrong, or were you referring to another show?? ( I'm thinking it was one of the newer animated shows or something ) so I had to go and look that up...

I still rank GoT as worse. GoT had been such a strong well written show in the early seasons . . . before running out of material from GRRM then the production needed to write it themselves. So many ideas just got shat onm ruining the legacy that the show had built.

I gotta say it really seemed like Milly Bobby Brown and a crew travelled all the way to Iceland ( there was a Screen Iceland thingy in the credits ) they travelled there to shoot less than a minutes worth of footage

At the end of the finale there should have been an end credits scene, a flat shot from a distance of someone in a hospital bed with a bunch of wires and tubes attached. On 4th February 1993, Will Byers died of Aids. Big music sting hits, BWWAMM!

Yeah really good film, and also a Christmas movie:

Watched again last night : It would be one of my most re-watched films. I can say dialogue along with characters on screen, but I think it had been several years since my last viewing. My rating: One of the best films ever made!!

There was a Youtube vid that I saw where they explained clearly that the cost involved in aircraft maintenance, to do it 100%, well that can be budgeted for the cost of an airliner sure , but it isn't scalable down to a private plane. Unless you have really deep pockets and are prepared to keep...

Private owned planes are death traps!! To explain: Some years back, I was trying to get into shooting and editing HDR 1080p footage just as the first affordable computers were able to do it. I rented a Sony pro-sumer camera and was able to get a media type pass for a local airshow / festival...

God-damn, I was looking into some F1 history, found this picture of Mario Andretti from 1979: Do it . . . Do it!

Gridlocked extend-y buses What makes it even funnier: The same thing happened, same thing, same place 6 years earlier:
