I dunno it's just so weird to me. You have this staple of modern luxury but lose power and on day two it is pooped all over and a refugee camp.
It is a GOOD BUSINESS being a cleaning contractor in Alabama right now.
Civilisation is a thin veneer over an animal core honk.
It used to be said that any civilisation is three missed meals away from anarchy. With most of western civilisation I think you can add electricity and running water to that too.
Shit, I'd be worried if Twitter or facebook went down for more than a day.

This is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen.
And I mean in the actual meaning of the word: inspiring awe.
Because wow.
Russia must look a big target to the universe, because... damn. First, Tunguska, now this?
PS: Yes, I've seen the pictures of the big damn meteorites that hit the US back in the Gold Rush days, I'm under no misconceptions that we have some kind of space-rock-shield out here the States.
Anyway, I hope everyone injured makes a speedy recovery. When space shoots at us, we're all the same nationality. Earthicans, united by the great taste of Charleston Chew!

Assuming you're from the UK here, since you seem to know what's going on not only in NK, but in SA as well. Do yourself a favor. Don't look up any news stories with the keywords 'Coronation Street.'
If you do, don't say I didn't warn you.

Not being judgmental, mind you. I met a new girl, and we both thought it was bit early to be Valentines'ing together, so I've been drinking and catching up on some Amazon instant viewing. Date set for tomorrow night.

Fucking Pistorius man. I remember when he did not win last summer olympics he lodged some complaint blaming the others for essentially cheating, and it was in poor taste. But the thing was people seemed pretty upset that he was complaining like they wanted him to be absolutely perfect - even a good loser.
They must be devastated. Apparently there was a history of DV too if I understand correctly, that SA media had chosen to not write about. Probably to keep throwing their perfect mascot around.

The commercial itself trips me out just a little bit, because even though it's been about 5 years, and I only spent three days there, I still remember sharply riding a bike through San Francisco streets and I recognize most of the places they photographed this dude at.
The videos from the Russian meteorite are kinda crazy. There's one where you see a vapour trail appear and the thing seems to be coming right at you and then it flares really brightly and then disappears behind a hill and OH MY GOD ALIEN INVASION.

I think the student must have gone to special "How not to write a report" and "How to hide the relevant information in your graphs" classes.
Reviewing this document has become rewriting. And redoing his graphs. Boo.

I was wondering what exactly the problem on the carnival ship was, cuz I haven't been paying any attention to that story
This is like a paragraph into the first story I read about THE HORRORS
Passenger Janie Baker told MSNBC's Ed Schultz that people managed the situation well and that the crew was "fantastic," but on the final night, "people's tempers started flying." She described one incident where another passenger tried to disrupt a movie, and was taken away by the crew. "If we had gone any longer, it could have been much, much worse," she said.
Aaaand ok I don't care anymore

This is gonna be like Resistance: Fall of Man. Russia now builds a wall around all their land. We wait a few years and suddenly without warning aliens tear down the wall and go batshit on Europe.

And it is awesome

There's also one which just looks at a road junction for a minute, nothing happening, then it's like someone turned the sun up to full power and the shot almost whites out before fading back down again.
I'm kinda tempted to camp the Nintendo thread just so I can start the new one for no other reason than to deny Ross the ability to edit the title to whatever he's recently decided is a super clever way to bitch about Nintendo

But there was poop everywhere!
Rich people not understanding that they can't poop in their toilet without running water is not an emergency, it's just them being dumb.
I mean, it sucks that that's how your vacation goes down, but you've got ziplock bags and hand sanitizer, and you've still got plenty of food and water, and apparently the ship still has power, and the weather is still lovely. It's not like they have to start fires in their cabins for heat.

I honestly think they had a personal hell there, I don't know about your quote but everything else I've seen speaks to it being very terrible. Simultaneously it seems to me that it was so terrible because they were being dumb and overreacting. Basically when the situation started happening they immediately cast off society and went totally native. So it's interesting to me in a mass psychology way.
I gotta wonder though, they have a pool I figure. A pool has room for several million liters. Did they have a bucket on the ship? Congratulations - now the 3,000 people on the ship can flush their toilets as usual for 6 months.

Or at least I didn't have to really do anything which I assume nets me no badges?

Ozymandius did it 35 minutes ago.
Watching the footage of the meteors coming down to the tune of Russian pop music is particularly entertaining.
