More cool stuff! (y) (You might enjoy the video...) - YouTube channel Aliaksei Zholner made a fully functional working model of a V6 engine using only paper.

I've contemplated many of the potential issues over the years about how 'flying cars' might negatively impact society, etc. During that time, solutions and new tech have come along and either removed or effectively addressed those issues. For example, airborne accidents and, when occurring, where the wreckage would fall (now made, mostly, a non-issue through the use of computer controlled operation). The same could be said about traffic concerns. Another issue might be pollution, rendered of little concern by electronic vehicles. This is the wonder and struggle of philosophy...but, until we have ideas to work with, we cannot address the lingering concerns. This idea seems to be one of the most intelligent I've seen so far. ^_^ (y) [Thanks for the share, Uncle Bill! (William Sobko)]

How pitiful...they know not what they do. :/ (They'll certainly find out when there's nobody left to protect them!) - A British soldier was asked to move from a hospital waiting room last week because staff feared his uniform might offend other patients.

I'd wager that most people don't know what reigns as the worst form of natural disaster on Earth. I can tell you - it's flash-flooding. It often comes as a shocker to many people...but it is true. "On average, U.S. flooding kills more than 100 people a year — more than any other single weather hazard, including tornadoes and hurricanes, according to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. Most flood deaths are from flash floods, however, and about half of those are because people try to cross swollen streams or flooded roads. Victims often underestimate the power of water when driving into flooded areas, UCAR scientists note, adding that it takes only 18 inches of water to float a typical vehicle." That said - how awesome is THIS: (Amazing! One of the many great ways science provides balance...)

Here is something very cool...for several reasons: This is the Thai dance "Thousand Hand Bodhisattva (Guan Yin / 千手观音)" done by a virtual army of hearing impaired Chinese dancers. The reasons it struck me as so incredible are because it is Thai culture performed by the Chinese (they often favor their own culture), it is exquisitely done, it is performed by deaf people (and many people believe China does little for those in their country with disabilities) and, finally, it is performed as a 'triad'...showing not only the front-facing effect, but also two side views...which allow the viewer to see how it is done. There's also something extra at the end. Some additional performance art on a refitted stage resembling a lotus pond. Truly amazing! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did... ^_^ (y)

In fiction, we use a term called 'suspension of disbelief' and it means, for example, that we can watch a movie like 'The Avengers' - knowing that there is no Thor, Captain America, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, etc. - and believe in the story, just for a while, enough to make it entertaining and believable, in some weird way. Nice, however...it can have terrible consequences, in some cases. Well, maybe it's just me, but...I find that life, itself, has become an exercise in 'suspension of disbelief'. However, in life's case, it is rather the fact that either people don't know or they just don't want to know (or care) that what they think might be true...is true, so they suspend their disbelief - and all kinds of terrible things happen. I've decided to post a couple videos that may help those who are unaware - as well as remind those who are trying to ignore - to see rather clearly what those terrible things are and where decades (if not centuries) of this irresponsible, illogical habit that's been detrimental to the human race as a whole has taken us (in the case of real life)...and still is...so that, maybe, people will start to redirect their efforts in a more productive, intelligent direction and we can get things back on track. We are way off the rails, folks! That's just what many of the people fostering this idiocy don't want you to know. That way, they can continue to make the masses suffer for their own personal benefit. They are not human, they are animals. If you watch the video, it will be very clear. There are two versions. The first is for people who prefer straight t info and the second is for those who prefer something a bit more entertaining (though, it still gets the message across). I sure hope this helps people realize just how bad we, as a collective species, are screwing ourselves and motivates them to do something more appropriate. Please watch, for the sake of your own futures, happiness, educations and, most importantly, health - because, without that, all the rest are lost... Thanks for your time and consideration. You're not just helping yourself by watching this, but the entire human race. Well done! ^_^ (y)

Chris Cornell is truly an amazing artist...and probably my favorite male vocalist. Here's something from his new release "Higher Truth". It's a cover of Prince's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' (made popular by Sinead O'Connor). "'Higher Truth' is the fourth studio album by Chris Cornell of 'Soundgarden', 'Audioslave' & 'Temple of the Dog' fame. The album was released on September 18, 2015." I hope you enjoy it... (y)

I was listening to Nina Simone (I know - don't go into shock - but I listen to several genres & she was involved in so many of them) and I ran across a version of one of her most well-known tunes that's really amazing - because it has the potential to be enjoyed by so many people. It's a cover by David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), who's on guitar - one of the most impressive guitarists I've known in my lifetime and, interestingly, one of the few who play rock/jazz fusion. Along with him are a number of other awesome musicians and a vocalist who has the voice of an angel. Check it out...it blew me away! I hope you enjoy it too. ;) (y)

Rest in peace, Martin Milner. I watched this show often while growing up and must admit it did much to gain my respect for Law Enforcement, even if it was only fiction. It's somewhat tragic to see what has become of law enforcement over the years since Adam-12 was on the air, especially with regard to the LAPD. Let us hope we can get there again. Thanks for making the world a little brighter... ^_^ (y)
