Awesome Thread

No but they're a good substitute when you have no one to boink on a regular basis. :|
 
Ok people. Dildos are NOT awesome.

This awesome enough for you?


Fuck there is no way I could be that calm with all that going on.

Pilot, "We're gonna be in the Hudson."

Says that totally deadpan about five seconds before he hits the river.

Yeah, and whatever the fuck happened to NSFW?

Seriously, I like how a dozen or so new female members have turned this place upside down. I tried to save Random Thoughts..., but the best I managed was to shift the focus to toilets and shit. :cry:
 
Here, let me crosspost.

Amazing video shad_68! :blink:

Yeah, it's really astonishing what sort of manouvers they can pull off with the thrust vector technology, I especially like the 'backflip' (at ~ 1:40), very cool indeed. Plus, imo the Sukhois are much better looking than the Raptor etc (granted, very different designs).
That said, I don't want to imagine what kind of load those stunts put on the pilot. ;)
 
Here is a mindfuck for you!

The helicopter is flying without the blades rotating!

How does it do that?

Well, the camera is shooting at the same rate as the blades are rotating (at least that's what is written on the youtube page)
 
So does he keep the blades at a constant rpm and instead plays with the collective to get it to change altitude?
 
When it's cooler, (scientific shortcut here, not 100% truth) the air has more oxygen and you can get more power :). This is why you want your car to get fresh air and not 200?C hot manifold air.

Another random science fact, because cold air is denser, your vehicle has to push harder to get that air out of the way, increasing wind resistance and drag, which negates any power gained from that same cold air.
 
Either pure luck or the helicopter pilot was in constant contact with the camera man and adjusted engine rpm accordingly. After all RPM only has to be a multiple of the camera fps. He can just adjust it using onboard instruments then.

Keeping it that perfect must have been hard though, playing with the throttle to keep it constant across different loads.
 
What about some oldschool goodness in here? ;)

This blog post is rather funny, might not qualify as awesome but it did raise a chuckle:

There is a rich, deep kind of irony that must be shared. I'm blogging this from the Apple store in the Mall of America, because I'm too amused to want to wait until I get back to my hotel room.
I went to attend a screening of the creationist propaganda movie, Expelled, a few minutes ago. Well, I tried ? but I was Expelled! It was kind of weird ? I was standing in line, hadn't even gotten to the point where I had to sign in and show ID, and a policeman pulled me out of line and told me I could not go in. I asked why, of course, and he said that a producer of the film had specifically instructed him that I was not to be allowed to attend. The officer also told me that if I tried to go in, I would be arrested. I assured him that I wasn't going to cause any trouble.
I went back to my family and talked with them for a while, and then the officer came back with a theater manager, and I was told that not only wasn't I allowed in, but I had to leave the premises immediately. Like right that instant.
I complied.
I'm still laughing though. You don't know how hilarious this is. Not only is it the extreme hypocrisy of being expelled from their Expelled movie, but there's another layer of amusement. Deep, belly laugh funny. Yeah, I'd be rolling around on the floor right now, if I weren't so dang dignified.
You see ? well, have you ever heard of a sabot? It's a kind of sleeve or lightweight carrier used to surround a piece of munition fired from a gun. It isn't the actually load intended to strike the target, but may even be discarded as it leaves the barrel.
I'm a kind of sabot right now.
They singled me out and evicted me, but they didn't notice my guest. They let him go in escorted by my wife and daughter. I guess they didn't recognize him. My guest was ?
Richard Dawkins.
He's in the theater right now, watching their movie.
Tell me, are you laughing as hard as I am?

Why doesn't anyone make jets with one big fuck off engine in the middle anymore?

An updated version, coke bottle style of this would be ace.
