I have invented a pixel-less television
it works by the same principle of such as a vinyl record
it is all analog
we're talking molecular level resolution here folks

Apparently, the New X-Box Experience has issues with HDMI outputs, and it will completely kill the audio coming from the X-Box.

This makes Dohl irate.

I learned a new insult today! 'Spherical bastards'. Meaning, no matter how you look at them, they're still bastards.

Driving even a fraction of an inch into a curb-like obstacle, if you're at 50 miles per hour on a wet road at night, can make your car turn a full 360 and cause you to nearly die from -other- vehicles running you down.

White noise generators actually generate pink noise.

I think red noise (or brownian noise) is nicer, though.

Over the weekend, I learned that tampons are very handy to have around in case of abdominal wounds.

...In a training environment, not a real-life situation.

reading too much achewood, sir

Actually, I had drill this weekend, and I found out that tampons are now a standard part of most CLS(combat life saver) kits.

Romosome · « **Reply #211 on:** January 14, 2009, 09:56:52 PM »

do they also include Morgan's Tape and the Pennsylvania Love Goose

(I seriously can't tell if you're fucking with me)

JDigital · « **Reply #212 on:** January 14, 2009, 10:14:53 PM »

No, it's true. I read that Russian special forces use tampons in kits. They're cheap, in abundant supply, manufactured to high safety standards, and are the best thing for soaking up blood. No point in investing millions to invent new bandages when the feminine hygeine industry has done it already.

For similar reasons, the British army uses the Xbox 360 controller to control UAVs.

aside from my teasing I just want Ted to tell me more about the CLS kit, sorry

(also it really was too good to pass up)

I'll be disappointed if one of your nicks isn't Vagina Products McGuyver by the end of this.

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #215 on:** January 14, 2009, 11:34:12 PM »

The tampons are really the most unusual thing in there, the rest of it is fairly standard stuff, IVs, israel bandages, tourniquets, asherman seals, nasal pharyngeal tubes, splints, tape, medic's scissors, those things they shove down peoples' throats all the time on House...

This one does all three. Or claims to. I don't know.

I thought it was threats of being paralyzed following the inevitable conclusion that it's in the spiiiiiiiiine.
