I wonder why he didn't counter-steer? Also, he was damn lucky that sheep turned around at the very last moment as he went for the wrong side, ffs.

+5 11. barf commented 15 years ago on video Crash safety test: 1959 vs 2009

#2 Actually it is quite the opposite. The old car is stiff as hell and the new car is softer in front. Much of the kinetic energy is transformed early enough to lower the force that gets to the passengers. The stiff protective hull of the new car only comes in at the very end of the collision directing the collision force towards below the car (no engine nor steering wheel to the face).

The old car is stiff all over, but it doesn't really help at all because the forces are too strong for the steel to withstand. Moreover someone actually made a wooden car at some point in history that was able to drive through brick walls. The problem was that every person inside would die of the collision force anyway as the hull wouldn't eat up the energy by transforming 8-)

There is an impact effect calculator on the web:

A rough estimate of the collision in this video seems to devastate most of the Earth, but the fireball does not go all around the world. Looks like the human race could actually survive the impact... :(|)

+4 18. barf commented 14 years ago on video To Catch a Predator

#13: I'm from one of those countries where making this kind of programs is illegal. The pervs and criminals seem to have better rights than the average person does. I'm not saying it's right to put obviously sick people to jail (they belong in some kind of mental institution), but most of the people are not satisfied by the too forgiving justice system either. Sure it's a sign of civilization to show compassion to wrongdoers, but this kind of people really are dangerous. As #(removed comment) said those predators really might end up killing the victim if things go wrong. Even if they originally didn't mean to. :S

"anyone who does not conform to their rigid views, and labelling them as trolls"

...or you're just being a cock and no-one likes your offensive comments. Did it ever occur to you that the admins can find out who you are and actually sue you? If you bypass the ban that is. Easy as it is, it counts for hacking the server and in most countries that can cost you a few grand + court expenses. I bet you weren't smart enough to cover up your tracks from the beginning.

I vote comments down if they are off-topic, obsolete or offensive. So far that's pretty much all you've come up with. By all means, continue calling the videos crap if it makes you forget your dysfunctional pencil-dick, or whatever the reason is what makes you seek out for attention.

+3 27. barf commented 14 years ago on video The rear-view motorcycle helmet

#5, My composite helm was 400e and it has no extra features of any sort. Sure you can buy a $99-plastic potty, but it will only snap your neck when you crash at highway speeds. Protection doesn't come cheap...

As a motorcycle rider, I too acknowledge the problem that many before have commented. The mirror is really distracting and it even blocks your vision slightly. At least if you're riding a (super-)sport bike where you lean forward.

Picture of barf22 achievements

+1 43. barf commented 15 years ago on video Chimp rides Segway

@#(removed comment), Oh come on... How about thousands of fossils, mummyfied remains, insect evolution, virus evolution? You are actually able to see butterfly evolution with naked eye if you are patient enought to wait few years. Their lifecycle is so short that evolution is fast. Do you even know what the word means?

Evolution - Process of change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms from one generation to the next.

Evolution is a theory that has been proven a fact. If you don't believe in it, you could just as well stop believing in electricy as well. After all, no-one has never seen an electron. Even your computer works with it even tho it is only a 'theory'.

I'm not going to argue more about this matter as it is pointless.

If this were in China they'd gone through the windshield. No-one wears a seatbelt here. Even tho the law says you have to and it is a commonly known fact that the belt increases your chances of survival in a crash by 300-500%. :(
Picture of barf22 achievements

+1 50. barf commented 15 years ago on video Car crash

#35 It just means that you are 3 to 5 times more likely to stay alive. For example: 17.5% survival rate with no belt and 70% with belt on. That's really a huge improvement for such a small effort.

0 62. barf commented 15 years ago on video China's spacewalk was fake?

I wish the video actually had some real proof. Now it only shows how the creator really doesn't know shit about anything... ;)

Here's what I think:
- The bubble might be just water. It flies away as the shuttle is actually moving very fast. And of course it is pulled towards Earth with accelerating speed; rather hastily because it has very low mass. Also, the water remains as a droplet because of the surface tension.
- The flag doesn't look like it's underwater at all. Buy a pair of eyes.
- The lightsource is the white craft itself. It is quite large after all.
- The "stadium lights" are really just lights on the spacecraft. The astronauts do need some light on the shade side of things, or they can't see anything in the black parts. The lights might be there to actually get a better video feed too.
- The ship is supposed to remain in balance. Not a very hard thing to do with modern thrusters and computers. And the ship was really made by russias, who do have quite much experience with spacecraft.

/end of rant. >:)

0 63. barf commented 15 years ago on video China's spacewalk was fake?

#(removed comment): You are correct. However, sunlight does heat up the liquid, so that it actually might freeze slower... The temperature in orbit is somewhere near 70K and of course we should add radiation from the ship and the astronauts to that. 8-)

#(removed comment) Actually I have served in the military as a communications sergeant. I bet you haven't served at all as you think there is glory in sending people to die for another country they know nothing about.

Oh, and by the way - being not able to write correctly does not mean they're stupid. It just tells you that they had to go to a shitty school in anytown USA because their family didn't have the money. In many cases military is the only job they can have. Do you think the army will not take him just because he/she doesn't know shit? He/she can still hold a gun and follow orders, right?

I still have to mention I do appreciate the work the US soldiers are doing. I guess my comments could give the wrong impression.

#31 What's your problem? It's not like they shoot anything that moves. In those countries everyone has a gun, so accidents do happen.
