MiltyG565 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've just found this video. It's very interesting, if very long and boring at parts (no points for a good edit here), but If you manage to survive the entire near-30 minutes of this video, the conclusion is interesting. I'll say no more, and you can make up your own mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTKfHkHZ6qQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I just found that rambling and incoherent. I skipped through a lot of it due to that, but he doesn't appear to measure anything or present any objective data. He just messes about with it, strums it and declares "no resonance" or "just the same". Coming from a science background, I don't recognise any science going on here - it just looks sciencey due to the graphs on screen.

Dingus Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 File under " complete and utter bollocks". One of the ( many) problems with the internet and modern technology is that anyone can present themselves and their imaginative creations in a way that was previously the prerogative of media professionals. Historically , the mass media were themselves usually answerable to their bosses and regulators , the wider media itself and the general public. You Tube has ended that accountability, and every borderline case on the planet with a camera can share their neurosis with the World. People who would previously have been desperate to strike up conversations with strangers in supermarkets are now taking to YT in their droves. The World is full of lonely people.

Nothing much was actually measure, but I can see a little bit of method behind it. It would really need to be done again much more scientifically, ideally. I feel that you really would need to watch it all the way through to find coherence, and I know that it's hard to invest 30 minutes into it.

[/quote] Future human race? With the new changes to Housing Benefit currently coming into effect, you may well find many people from a variety of backgrounds living in bunkers like the ones you describe, nuclear threat or not. It will be just like the Blitz, but instead of Hitler's bombs the people in the shelters will be hiding from Ian Duncan Smith and the wrath of angry taxpayers sick of paying for parasites and scroungers. No doubt there will be plenty of YouTube vlogs about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying though. I don't think I need to remind you that I am of these parasitic scroungers. I'm terrible, aren't I? *Looks around curiously*... Where are we? How did we get here?
