Zero Punctuation Review - Braid
I have it on great authority that the bit about the key breaking in 1 of the 2 available doors is actually yahtzee being extremely stupid

NVIDIA PhysX Particle Fluid Demo
I think i've seen better than this although i won't even attempt to find it.

This looked like a hybrid of jelly with the fluid motion of water

Code Pink protester Hit with Baton: BOOM HEADSHOT!
MGR what the fuck mate?

He polaxed a 7 stone girl from his vantage point of 16 stone lard arse half-riot gear. He could grab her by the scruff of the neck and drag her anywhere he wanted, there is no situation in which this would be a necessary response. Unless she was a zombie from 28-days later.

You often stand up for the "it's only a few bad police, it's not all of them, bad ones just get more attention" and you're often right where people ARE over reacting or not seeing the full picture, but you've overshot by 10 miles here pal.

Reginia Spektor: "On the Radio" Music Video
The music is nice enough to stop me downvoting this for being a hideous god-awful music video.

Can't say i was blown away though, no real feeling in it, for me.

The most entertaining boxer in history? Yes.
After years of training, i'm more surprised that there are boxers out there who DON'T have the twitch reaction that boxers like this guy have. Most of the dodging isn't a case of knowing *exactly* where a punch is going to go, more a case of experience at knowing which posture/initial movement usually precedes which punch. Hence why you see boxers twitching in one direction to set up a different direction, shimmies, stance changes, etc.

I'm a fan of this sort of thing. "It shows disrespect" - but if the opponent isn't as bad as the showboater thinks, why isn't the showboater put squarely on his ass? I think it's great, but who the hell were this guy's opponents? Looked awful!

excellent use/timing of anthropic principle

In reply to this comment by brain:
>> ^MINK:
I love (hate) how he skips over the whole "abiogenesis" thing, then explains about some lightning but doesn't say where the lightning comes from, etc. etc...


Do you want some more abiogenesis talk? One point that I would have brought up is how unlikely it seems that the first self-replicating life would just fall into place one day. If you get a bunch of chemicals together, it probably won't create life. But if you get an entire planet with chemical oceans for over a billion years, then it starts to get more likely that life would happen.

But then you have to remember the anthropic principle! We're going to find ourselves on whatever planet that life happens to occur on. We guess that there are about 10^20 planets in our universe, and the universe is about 13.7 billion years old. So even if life falling into place at any time on a whole planet has a probability of 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000,000, we can expect it to happen at least once. And here we are.

When I take that into account, life seems pretty probable to me. You could make up a god to explain it, but I don't see the need.
