Big think vids if you wanna digest some knowledge

Yeah Science B-Words!

"Imagine an oasis of warm sunlight surrounded by a desert of freezing cold darkness. Robots inside the oasis perform scientific lab analyses and process icy regolith brought from excavations in the neighboring darkness. This oasis, about the size of a football field, lies in a valley about twice the size of Washington DC, surrounded by peaks the size of Mount Rainier. From its low angle on the horizon, the sun’s rays never shine over the peaks into the valley, until heliostats unfold on these peaks and redirect the rays down to form the oasis of sunlight. This place becomes a large science laboratory and the largest off-Earth producer of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for fueling inter-planetary trips." -The Source Article (click here via nasa.gov)

This idea is one of the coolest floating around in the possible future. Using reflectors to make perpetual solar energy. F-yeah! I say it at least once a week. "Now is an exciting time for science." WE are pushing the envelop on virtually every facet of every field. The connected world has many problems but we all help progress science. It is awe-inspiring and magnificent. I hope to get a field job in Engineering or Mechanics or Electrical Engineering one day but until then I will help with science education....well.....if passing along info counts as that......Continue reading for more info

2.A guide to homesteading while you're broke (in case that's your thing)

From the writers who brought you '$5 greenhouse' comes this nice little guide/blog for homesteading. If you've got the balls for this kind of thing then I say go for it. There is nothing more fulfilling then living off the land. I'm slowly going to implement this in my ranch home when we buy it. So here it is...... Homesteading when you're briz-oke and another piece of that pie

3.A video every young person to should see: Understand consent with stick figures and a cup of tea.

You know I joke a lot and have virtually no moral compass when it comes to comedy but let us take an aside. This is serious issue, 1 out of every 6 american (statistically speaking) has been a victim of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. That's alarming, seriously. The statistic doesn't stop at women either. Children are victims, men are victims. The point is mutual respect is a big deal in a world of conflicting perspectives and a value of life should be understood by everybody. Please show this and share this video or page or both, if only to raise some awareness. If you think about it, there is a chance this issue hits close to home in your family of friend circle. and learning can be as easy as a cup of tea!

Breaktime........enjoy this little chuckle

4. IRS dubs 'First Church of cannabis' a nonprofit

Full blown legalization or at the very least national decriminalization is going to happen in our lifetime. It will, no doubt. All the proponents and all the benefits are starting to outweigh the bogus studies, social stigmas, conservative thinking and flat-out smear campaigning attached to marijuana. So in the end this little win may be for nothing but it is a still a step in the right direction. Indiana will definitely be close watched when they open their doors. No matter how you feel on the subject morally it is a win religiously (if that sort of thing concerns you).

"The designation means donors can deduct gifts to the church on their federal tax returns if they itemize and the church is eligible for a property-tax exemption in Indiana. The organization has raised $10,905 in a gofundme.com solicitation but has not found a home yet.
 "What a GLORIOUS DAY it is folks," the founder and grand poohbah, Bill Levin, wrote May 26 in a Facebook post announcing the church's IRS approval as 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. "WE ARE 100% a LEGAL CHURCH. ... All say HALLELUJAH and SMILE REAL BIG! ... We are OFFICIAL!" -The source article

5. Five Tibetan rites (at the very least it makes you feel great)

I started doing this about 5 days ago and already my body feels more flexible as well as less soar and achy. Even if it just the placebo effect I feel better as far as wellbeing goes, or at the very least this might just be budget physical therapy. Either way I'd recommend trying these.

Here's the source article that gives a run down on the 5 rites

6. Because who needs sleep: The lost disney UFO documentary

7. What a whacky, weird, wild and whimsical key.......IT BENDS!

Moving past things that aren't creepy weird aliens comes this practical little invention. The flexible key!

"As YouTuber bosnianbill explains in the video, picking this lock cleanly – i.e. without cracking it open – poses a considerable challenge. "This is not going to be a lock-picking video," he admits, "simply because I cannot pick this lock." It's bears mentioning that bosnianbill's YouTube channel boasts upwards of 50,000 subscribers, and hosts over 600 lock-picking videos. This is a man whose idea of "cross-training" is to pick locks while mountain biking, which should tell you all you need to know about his prowess.
 With a standard pick, "I can only pick the first pin," he says. "Beyond that, I can't get the pick up inside of there." When he wonders aloud how such a lock might be picked, his answer is to show us the key. "You push the key and you'll actually inject it into the lock, it goes around those curves, and then it actually works, very smoothly... so that's how you get in there." -The source article

8. Are we ever going to develop FTL travel (That stands for 'Faster than Light' in case you didn't know....yo)? 

I say yes.....I also say not anytime soon. But I do have hope, we still use the most primitive form of propulsion known to man, a technique first discovered for use on fireworks so we are long overdue. Just waiting for theory to move into reality. The whole 'you can't beat the speed of light' thing is a real ball buster but saying 'can't' has never stopped humanity before (I'm looking at you luna). Either way this IO9.com article explores this issues with some interesting depth. Click HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE (or any of the here's of this here or that here)

10. A fun lil' Comic Site: LeastIcouldDo.com

To commemorate the Life of Sir Christopher Lee this comic was released. It it but a mere example of the awesomeness that is this website. Might I also recommend 'LookingForGroup' if you like RPG humor.

Video Post: Some interesting and inspiring Neil deGrasse Tyson clips

I love feeling inspired. I love feeling moved. I love feeling connected. Watching these videos allowed me some of that this morning because it motivated me to take my fiance and our dog out on a nature walk. We got Lost in the nature preserve and it ended up taking about 2 hours to get out but I still feel it was worth it. The journey was awesome and to me that is what matters.

More adhead....

A few Article I've came across and like to share (nothing special and/or in particular)

I've been doing a lot of reading on the internet (as always) and with that are things that catch my fancy.  Now I could sit here and type out an article for each and every article that I'd like to promote (and believe me that would help attract attention to this blog) but I just haven't got the time lately.... Hence the dramatic lack of updates. BUT since I'm here now I'd like to talk about a few things that might catch your fancy as well (sexual harassment unintended there......geez)

#1- The (hopefully) new and upcoming 15-second gunshot wound sealer....thing:

That's right kids!

REVMEDX has recently developed a new product called 'Xstat' and if FDA approved this could revolutionize quick treatments of wounds both on and off of the battlefield. This new proposed method could be injected and work in a little as 15-seconds, providing for temporary clottage (word? I dunno...is now!) while a person is being transported to a more optimal location. For the popular science article on the subject feel free to click here, here, or here (they're all the same link....amplified for dramatic effect). I find that to be really neat and since this is just the first product in a new era of wound treatment it will only be improved.....probably eventually becoming more compact and absorbent. Innovation rocks!

#2- IwatchStuff.com has recently published an article featuring the remake (unofficial) of ROBOCOP.. well at least 'their' version....whoever they are. The article is aptly titled:

'Our RoboCop Remake': The RoboCop Remake of the People (And So Many Rapists)

"Our RoboCop Remake is the crowd-sourced remake of the people, an even more skewed version of the 1987 Paul Verhoeven classic as retold by some 50 professional and amateur filmmakers (many from Channel 101)" 

originally released through VIMEO's website. Although I'm going to try to find a youtube version for upload purposes.

Ok....well failed to find the whole remake but here's a TASTE... Watch the video VIA IWS here

or through VIMEO's link.... HERE (please give it a watch... it is hilarious) ..ps skip to 42 minutes for some dick blastin' action

now I've got to snip-it off here.... Can't be posting the whole thing without a page break. That junk would get looooooong (giggity) so continue reading to....continue reading.

The Polar Express! (actually that movie sucked, but this IS cool): Sun changing Polarity soon!

The Place: almost 93 million miles away.... The time: 3-4 months from now. The Event: The complete destruction of humanity and the total meltdown of society as our world comes crashing down in a fiery rage Or.... It is when the Sun is expected to change polarity.
"CHANGE POLARITY!!?" you say (well maybe not literally, but for the sake of the article though,  hypothetically speaking of course) well don't worry, I respond in a casual manner, because it isn't going to kill us. (HUZZAH!) Continue reading if you're so bright your parents call you son! (even if not...continue reading)

Who Would've guessed: NASA Van Allen Probes Discover Particle Accelerator in Earth's Radiation Belts

(hurray I found my own article artwork..VIA google! At least it isn't borrowed from source article)

who woulda thought? seriously? Just for a second. Who would've thought to look in ORBIT!
pssshhh figures... Scientists love wasting money. Just kidding! but here's the scoop:

NASA's Van Allen Probes (hehe..probes) have made a remarkable, exciting and very unusual discovery-- They've found a natural particle accelerator right in the heart of the Earth's radiation belts, and it is speeding up tiny particles to more than 99 percent the speed of light. (FYI: anything with MASS cannot achieve 100% the speed of light, it is NOT possible...yet)
