2. Necrom commented 7 years ago on video California solar power plants ignite birds mid-flight
It's sad that animals are dying due to wind and solar farms, but the number of animals killed per GWh produced pales in comparison to nuclear and fossil fuel plants.

I only accept hunting for survival.
I'm sorry, but if you have money to buy guns, ammo, hunting paraphernalia, licenses, etc, you have no need to "hunt for food".

5. Necrom commented 8 years ago on video Incredible Chemical Reaction!
I remember (I think I was in 7th grade) my chemistry teacher demonstrating this experiment in class, we weren't suppose to understand it at the time, he show it just because it was cool.
I also remember 2 other experiments that blew my mind: him mixing two clear liquids that together became a matte orange, and the mercury heart experiment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6631u7d4E0
He was a great teacher.

6. Necrom commented 8 years ago on video Earth's deepest abyss
#4, yup, that's the one.
During the dives they usually have 3 streams going at the same time, one from the main camera on the ROV, usually stream 1, one of the camera pointing straight down at the ROV from the Seirios camera sled (stream 2), and the last one with a quad view, which usually has one or two camera views and screens with telemetry.
You can read more about it on their webpage.
During the last days of the previous mission it was really incredible to watch live as they found a crashed B-29 from WWII.

You can watch it live on youtube if you search for Okeanos Explorer.
From mid-April to mid-July they had a mission exploring the waters around the Mariana's Trench, almost every day from around midnight (GMT) I watched them explore the depths, making new discoveries live, it was really fascinating, and it was a great feeling being one of a few hundred people witnessing these discoveries as they happened.
They have already started a new mission a few days ago, and it will last until August 19th, be sure to tune in, I will!

13. Necrom commented 8 years ago on video US Town Rejects Solar Panels Fearing They 'Suck Up All The Energy From The Sun'
#9 Thx
As for the second link, I could also say it has a misleading title.
Of all the power plants showned in it, only the Tehachapi wind farms seem to fall into that statement "many solar and wind farm sites across the US that lay abandoned and broken because they went out of business due to lack of profit and cost of maintenance."
Solar One/Two: decommissioned, turned into a telescope.
Hydroelectric Plant in Enloe: decommissioned to improve salmon access to spawning grounds. NOT a solar or wind farm.
Carrizo Plain Solar Power Plant: dismantled, solar panels being sold around the world.
Edward Dean Adams Power Station: yes, abandoned, but built by Nicola Tesla in 1896 (!), NOT a solar or wind farm. Also, not sure how effective its 1800's technology would be today anyway.
White River Falls Hydroelectric: Decommissioned in the 1950's (!). NOT a solar or wind farm.
Kamaoa Wind Farm: abandoned, yes, but since replaced by newer, more efficient turbines.
Hydroelectric Canal and Plant: it does look abandoned, but it's looks more like a turist attraction than a complete abandoned and broken ruin. Again, NOT a solar or wind farm.
Abandoned Oil Rig Converted for Wind Turbine: NOT an abandoned wind farm, but an abandoned Oil Rig converted into a functioning wind turbine.
TL;DR If the title of the video is considered misleading, then your post seems to be quite misleading too.
JMHO

#4 Let's not forget that the solar farm in question is solar panel based, which can produce during its lifetime 20x, 30x, or even 40x less CO2 than coal power (even taking in account the CO2 produced to fabricate them) and not like that Ivanpah Solar farm, which uses mirrors.
I could also mention that that article is an editorial written by a clearly right-leaning person, judging by his other editorials, 90% of which seem to be only negative articles about Obamacare or Hillary Clinton.
But that shouldn't be a reason to dismiss the article, right? I does get at least some of its facts right, for what I can see. But it forgets to tell you that even with that "outrageous" ammount of CO2 produced, it pales in comparison with the average coal power plant, which can produce over 3 million tons/year of CO2. (not to mention all the other side-effects on public and wildlife health)
Had more to say about the second link, but Snotr wont let me post the rest, makes my post too long

27. Necrom commented 9 years ago on video Drum of water into Erta Ale lava lake
#7 MHO is that not only the water turns to vapor, the heat is so intense it splits the water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen, and what you see moments after the drum sinks in the lava is the hydrogen burning (and probably using the oxygen as oxidizer to help burn more intensely).
I could almost bet that if it was a large enough drum of water you'd witness an explosion instead of a burn.
At least that's what is believed happened to Krakatoa.

Very nice. Only see one problem with this method, if they go to the beach, for example, and get tanned, won't the scars become visible again?
But even if that happens, it's a small price to pay.

#3 Knowing the drone in question, it's quite easy, actually, since it is able to stream the video real-time to a smartphone connected to the remote.
It's true the display itself isn't that great, but the perspective is! If only the night time image quality of the quadcopter was better.
Still, awesome view angle.

#2 and #5 talk like there's no hope of recovery or treatment.
Try watching this video http://www.snotr.com/video/4667/Autistic_girl_expresses_profound_intelligence and then tell me again he should be "put down".
The problem is that we are yet unable to find a way to understand these cases of severe autism and a way for us to comunicate with them and them with us. That's where the effort should be, I think.
