Copyright takedown. I guess parody is illegal now. *insert basement comments*

Works for me. Either reinstaed or our side of the pond didn't update servers yet.

My phone says it's blocked in my country. But indeed, works fine on PC. YouTube is weird. :lol:

Still works for me on my laptop, but on my iPhone when I look in my YT History it says "Not available on this platform."

Indeed. YouTube is weird.

while watching a particularly awful episode of Andromeda, my Wife had the ultimate idea for the genre we are missing without being aware of it...

BOLLYWOOD SCIFI!!!!

Dude, when spaceflight becomes a mass event it will be like submarines: Low oxygen, cramped as hell, you share beds with other people, your body rhytym gets all turned upside down, you don't touch the shower walls due to...you know.

And you expect me to jump around, dance, sing weird songs and have a love affair with that female on board that 30 males want to get on with and possibly did?
No thanks, I'll pass.

As much as that trope is present in our minds, it's actually not an entirely neccessary part. Bollywood soap operas generally don't have that element.

What they have instead is incredibly long scenes from a static camera angle of people doing perfectly mundane things, underlined with impossibly dramatic music. Bonus points for dramatic slow motion.

Sounds actually kind of perfect for EVA scenes :lol:

Call me nuts... but I just saw a UFO. A single bright light, spectrum like a classic lightbulb, moving at the same speed as the clouds during a stormy evening, far away from the setting sun.

I first thought its a helicopter, but its motion was different. Had only been able to see it for a long time from the 6th floor here, once I was at ground level to photograph it, it was impossible to locate again.

Remember the story i once made up about the runes in your signature? Yeah, they found you. You get back to your species.

Sooo....I recently heard a version this song on one of my daughter's Pandora stations.

And it's driving me nuts. I've heard this song somewhere recently, and I know it was an Anime cartoon of some sort. But I have no idea where. It's driving me insane, not just because I can't remember, but I HAVE to hear that version now. I must find it!!!

 

[dehat42]

Either in some anime cartoon or animutation.

Any swamps near where you live? :lol:

I err... think it looked like a weather balloon. Yes.

While not entirely correct (or some are in debate in the linguistic community):

The swamps are around the federal capital because there the grass gets fertilized with the liquid...stuff...we get out of it.

Also Forrest Castle sounds like the retarded guy from Alabama now writes mystery novels and solves crimes. I'd watch that.

Serious question: When in combat or a combat simulation I imagine people on the bridge of a cruiser, submarine or people working on aircraft carriers will be very busy and have to work. AFAIR shifts are at least six hours (I think submarines where 6/6/6 shifts).
Now, I'm sitting on the bridge, have to monitor aircrafts or whatever my job is. What happens if I have to go to the restroom? To they have one guy on standby? Do you just use a bottle? Because your job needs to be done in the five minutes, right?
