Would not want to be wherever that thing landed.
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

One has to admire SpaceX's sense of humor. Here's a vid of all of the Falcon landing failures, set to a VERY appropriate piece of music. Not sure the younger gerbils will catch the significance of the music, though.

EDIT: Didn't catch it until prompted by others, but the non-dated comments tie directly into the theme music.

In honor of Cassini I watched a few shows on it. NOVA's Death Dive to Saturn vid was pretty good and focused on the people and stories behind the spacecraft and some of the latest discoveries, such as that Saturn's magnetic field is weakening.

If ya enjoy science/astronomy shows The Planet's is a good series hosted by Astronaut Mike Massimino. Episode 4 focuses specifically on what we know to date about Planet 9 and the current three theories on what type of planet it would be given we know it has 10x earth's mass.

Two South Boston morons out fishing come across an ocean sunfish and hilarity ensues, along with typical Southie language.

This is the thread where you can dump and show any cool internet videos you have caught an eye on.....

RULES

1. Videos must not be pornographic.

2. Videos must be work-safe.

3. Please provide a brief description of the video so the viewer knows what he's/she's going to watch.



Work safe lol wth How can you even watch vids at work? Your phone? Everything is blocked where I work and there is no public wifi either. Big data plan on your phone? Work is for work.

The Oroville Dam's concrete spillway has broken about 2/3 of the way down, apparently due to poor maintenance.  The erosion is happening far enough down that it doesn't threaten the dam, but it's sure putting a lot of mud into the Thermolito basin and Feather river in this video.  Additional erosion will happen as water is now flowing over the earthen emergency spillway (which has never been used before since the dam was constructed in 1968).

P.S.:  Now the water is running over the parking lot next to the emergency spillway and eroding dangerously close to the dam, forcing them to open up the flow to the damaged normal spillway to lower the lake level below the overflow.  188,000 people have been evacuated from the banks of the river below the dam.
