I wish, I wasn't in radio long enough to get to the inflatable bear portion of my career

Is this the episode where Ba'al tortures and kills Jack over and over?

I think a lot of ppl run the P90 so we can pretend to be a member of SG1. Now if I could just shoot it like Carter

you wanna get real technical? It's the opening of the pouch on the Jaffa for the adolescent Goa'uld to mature in.

Sarnia is a great town. I love that side of the bridge. I'd always see kids jumping off the bridge and get taken down river by the current and got jealous cuz i was never allowed.

There's some of us on the American side that are ready to help you. We just need someplace safe to dry off after we swim over

A hydrofoil? Not sure who invented them but they've been around for a while.

Nothing says innovation is definite. I'm sure there's lots of discoveries we haven't made because no one is motivated to make them.

Even science for science sake needs motivation in a certain direction. Those directions are usually not well intentioned. Even if they are, they're often quickly corrupted.

Ok now listen here you little shit

And I'm saying that it probably wouldn't be because the motivation isn't there. Hate it a much as you do, but rich assholes trying to one up each other often drives innovation, just like trying to kill someone.

The Americas Cup always pushes the limits of technology and just like any extreme sport, people are looking for loopholes. They've gotten better with the rules, but they've had to restrict entire hull design and (previously) wings. IIRC, they cant have electrical power storage yet everything electrical.

The engineers behind these things are spectacular in their field and the innovations trickle down into everyday life just like F1 and NASA and everything else that's cool but costs big money

Do you think the billionaire designed the boat? An absolute metric shit ton of R&D time goes into these boats. Is it solving world hunger? No, but that's not a because of the Americas Cup, it's because of greed. Besides, it's the oldest race in the world and it pushes the limits of technology in a medium that covers 70% of the earths surface.

i's also far to smooth of a video. Ive tried this with a few different camera setups and it's always way to shaky to do at any real speed.

The best part about this is the car getting 4 and a half minutes at full speed

about 2/3rd of the way through you can hear a car tumble and the see a guy go and put a yellow car back on the track

I have an electric short course truck that can go real world 60 MPH on the beach. Traxxas makes an electric street car that can go real world 100 MPH out of the box. The electric speed record is somewhere 218 mph with a custom built rig.

On that straight, they're probably hitting 50 MPH+ real world.

Power to weight ratio in the RC world is insane, which leads to super acceleration times.

I remember wanting to go nitro as a kif because they were so much faster. the new battery technology has made me forget about wanting to go nitro, just because of the hassle.

it's a lot more fun to do with something like a crawler at low speeds, maybe rally cars. this would probably be too fast. also, the camera vibrations can get a bit much after a while. I could never figure out how to dampen the one I was working on.

My dog shows no interest in water. Not 'doesn't like it' just... meh. I put her in a kiddie pool and she just stood there, looked at me. Waited. Then got out.
