Waching daily Mar 27 2018

Okay deep breath got to be brave got to be brave I can do this

hey hey TDS how are you. Hi. You know how we've been hanging out a lot together

you know how we had those brilliant adventures. Flying up too Longreach, dodging

thunderstorms. Well something's something's come up and then I need to

tell you something. I've kind of met another plane.

So this is the new ride, this is Kilo Juliet November the Cirrus sr22 g3 model

it's a really slick aircraft actually like not just with all the power in the

engine and everything but it's got air conditioning inside digital autopilot.

But the nice thing the thing that I really like is the interior the avionics

is almost identical to what we had in Tango Delta Sierra and I'll show you

that in a second but it's a great plane and one other big difference is

something on the front of the plane which you can't see from here so I'll

show you now because. Whereas Tango Delta Sierra had three prop blades...

...Kilo Juliet November has four. Which give you some added benefits with things like

climb rate etc. But the thing I'm looking forward to is apparently as well this

makes it a lot quieter in the cockpit with these four blades. These are

composite props made out of a composite material so they're a lot lighter now

there are probably many other aerodynamic benefits of having four prop

blades than having three which a lot of you guys out there who are way more into

the aerodynamic side of things than I am will know so I'm not even gonna attempt.

Maybe let me know in the comments below you your preferences on a three or a

four blade prop. All that I know is this is supposed to be really smooth in

flight and a lot quieter as well it's going to make a lot less noise and give that

almost that kind of whistling sound as it's going round rather than the

thumping sound you sometimes get from other props. So really looking forward to

trying this. One other difference which isn't as noticeable in flight it's just

a preflight item is the oil in the SR22 in this one is slightly different. This

actually takes 12 quarts of oil so you're looking for about 10 quarts of

oil here before you take off in the pre-flight. But that's just... oil's

not very interesting I just wanted to point out the differences like between

the SR20 and SR22, oil is not very exciting. It's very important though.

Now inside the cockpit pretty much everything's laid out in almost the same

way to what we're used to in Tango Delta Sierra. So got the two main flight

display screens the primary flight display the multifunction display here.

These are your master switches, batteries these are your lights for the

aircraft that you can turn on and off here.

Backup gauges and then down here one slight difference. This is the

autopilot we'll play a bit with this on the flight today but this is a digital

autopilot rather than the analog S-Tec 55 it was called in Tango Delta

Sierra. These are GPS units this is the transponder and this is my

communications panel. The rest of the bits there pretty much exactly the same.

I know I've said it before but I really do mean it. It's really useful in a

Cirrus if you're a Cirrus pilot that everything's pretty much in the same

place regardless of which plane you go into. So jumping from one plane to

another is actually really straightforward. I feel very comfortable

despite the fact that this is basically the first time I've ever sat in this aircraft.

The seats so fancy as well look at this fancy seat. And as well you know what

this is in the strap? This is the airbag so it actually has airbags built into the

seatbelts another really cool safety feature.

They got a thousand foot right of climb and you're hitting the fence at 100 knots.

That's 600 already so flaps, caps is available, landing light

off, fuel pump off. Wow bloody hell, this is a significantly different plane. I couldn't believe we got to 600 feet already there.

Let's see what happens if we get to a stall situation. Ok with the autopilot on

It won't actually allow us to stall. Ok. Watch what

happens here. So airspeed's decreasing I bring it back to idle just feel the

thing it just slows. Yeah you can feel yourself decelerating there.

You'll notice that the ball's gone way out to the left. And then it's got speed protection

see that, underspeed. So it's look at that it's throwing the flight

director is throw the aircraft down. So it's pitching down for us. Yep. Wow,

that's cool. Okay and you get the under

speed up here as well. Yep. And I've become incapacitated,

and the plane starts going out of control but passenger all my passenger

has to do is just lean over and press straight and leve.

Good work Cirrus. Yeah that's very good isn't it?

Yeah very steep very very steep on that one so I'll try to get our height better

this time. She loves to go doesn't she? Oh man.

Yeah wants to take off. I'm really loving the power actually gives you a lot more

confidence to be honest.

Latrobe Valley traffic, Kilo Juliet November turning base runway two one Latrobe Valley.

Latrobe Valley Traffic, Tango, uh, Kilo Juliet November turning final runway two one, Latrobe Valley.

Tsk, Tango Delta Sierra!

All right everything shut down keys are out, caps pin back in so what do we

think what's the verdict between the SR20 Tango Delta Sierra and

the SR22 Kilo Juliet November? First thing that I will say Kilo Juliet

November, way harder to say than Tango Delta Sierra. Kilo Juliet November.

Tango Delta Sierra well just seven so one more syllable. Seems like a small thing but

anyway I'm gonna have to get used to saying Kilo Juliet November instead of

Tango... What do I think of this aircraft compared to Tango Delta Sierra? Well

before I answer that I just have to say you know I love Tango Delta Sierra and

it is an amazing aircraft and anyone who's thinking of getting into Cirrus

flying down here at Moorabbin that is probably the perfect aircraft for you to

get into and start flying to be honest. I'll be totally honest with you I've

wanted this story to have a bit of a cliffhanger ending almost you know.

Will he upgrade? Won't he upgrade? What's gonna happen next? But I'm gonna be honest

with you, I'm gonna this is gonna be the plane that we're gonna be flying from

here on this SR22 this specific one because of all the reasons that I've

mentioned before. I love TDS I'm sorry not to fly it any more. I'm sure I'll still

fly TDS in the future as well it's really good just for local flights you

know scenic flights around Melbourne with friends. I'll probably still take it

out for that but anytime that you guys are gonna come with me on longer trips

around Australia and who knows maybe even further afar, I think we've got to

start getting used to this plane guys.

Is Ready Player One the New Roger Rabbit? | NowThis Nerd - Duration: 10:45.

Hi everybody, I'm Moose,

and I don't think I would consider 'Infinity War' "the most ambitious crossover event in history."

Wow.

Everyone's from the same company.

I mean, do you consider 'Space Jam' a crossover?

Pardon me, Mr. Jordan, can I have your auto-g-g-g-

'Ready Player One' feels a little closer,

like dumping out all your action figures and having Luke Skywalker fight Carnage.

But, when I think of incredible crossovers,

of immortal icons impossibly occupying the same screen,

The first thing that comes to my mind is

'Who Framed Roger Rabbit.'

It shares the same Spielbergian source code as 'Ready Player One,

and, well, we know 'Roger Rabbit' is amazing.

Thanks! I needed that!

Since 'Ready Player One' is getting rave reviews too,

today I want to look at the similarities between them,

and ask what could be the most important question of our time:

Is Ready Player One the New Roger Rabbit?

Let's start at the source, because both of these films are

Based on Weird-Ass Books

Look, a lot of people are dismissing 'Ready Player One' based on the source novel,

and hey-- I liked it.

I really dug the concept, the plot,

the sheer enthusiasm.

But let's face it: You don't read Ernest Cline for deep characterization and gut-wrenching prose.

If you've got the e-book, do a control-F search for the word 'classic.'

he uses it 32 times to describe all the references he drops,

instead of, y'know, actually telling us why all these '80s icons are so awesome.

Classic mixup!

Classic!

Driving drunk... Classic.

For example:

'The Vonnegut was a heavily modified Firefly-class transport vessel, modeled after the Serenity in the classic Firefly TV series'

Then, 30 pages later:

Shoto's vessel was a large interplanetary trawler named the Kurosawa, modeled after a ship called the Bebop in the classic anime series Cowboy Bebop

And it goes on like this!

Just say why they're so cool!

Because it's slick and stylish like 'Cowboy Bebop,

or because it's heartfelt and hilarious like 'Serenity,' not 'classic.'

Hey, you wanna run this ship?

Yes.

Well... You can't.

Look, when 'Ready Player One' came out in 2012,

we weren't quite as inundated with remakes, reboots,

and desperate attempts to cash in on our nostalgia.

I'll be back.

What?

But in a post 'member berries world,

it's hard to read without cringing just a little bit.

'Member Chewbacca again? I love to 'member Chewbacca!

Still, the seeds of a great movie are in there!

The virtual OASIS offers limitless possibilities for action and spectacle,

and the thrilling treasure-hunt is tailor-made for a big, satisfying summer blockbuster.

Besides, if history has shown us anything, it's that the source material doesn't always tell you a lot about the adaptation.

Believe it or not, 'Roger Rabbit' was based on a book,

a 1981 mystery by Gary Wolf called 'Who Censored Roger Rabbit?'

It's got almost nothing to do with the movie.

For one thing, the toons in the book are all comic strip characters like 'Hagar the Horrible' and 'Beetle Bailey,'

when they speak, their words appear in speech balloons above their head.

It's not exactly cinematic.

For the movie, Disney and Spielberg dumped the comic concept, and pretty much the entire plot,

and replaced it with a 'Chinatown'-esque noir film set in the golden age of animation.

Only two lines survived from the book:

Baby Herman's

"My problem is I've got a 50-year-old lust and a 3-year-old dinky"

And Jessica's iconic

"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way",

'Roger Rabbit' is a movie that transcends its weird source material to become something greater,

and I know Spielberg can do the same with 'Ready Player One.'

I mean, just look at 'Jaws.'

Peter Benchley's book was a trashy beach read,

it had boring subplots with the mob and an icky affair between Richard Dreyfuss and Brody's wife.

Spielberg cut away the bullshit until only the pure, compelling narrative remained.

From 'Jurassic Park' to 'Minority Report,' the man's an adaptation expert,

even if and maybe because they aren't faithful,

and If anyone can make an incredible movie out of 'RPO,' it's him.

or, if he's unavailable...

Then get me his non-union Mexican equivalent!

Listen, Senor Spielbergo, I want you to do for me what Spielberg did for Oskar Schindler!

He's the only human alive who could pull off two crossovers of this magnitude.

I mean, who else could

Wrangle the Rights?

During the pre-production of 'Roger Rabbit,' Disney ran into a huge problem:

The movie needs to have cartoons spanning all of Hollywood history.

It couldn't just be Mickey and the gang,

because then it would just be 'Kingdom Hearts.'

Ohh, Goofy...

They'll pay for this.

But when Disney came looking for the rights,

the studios that owned the other characters either refused their requests,

or demanded boatloads of money.

That's when they called in Spielberg,

who, thank god, is a massive animation geek.

I think all directors should be animators first, because you can really take the imagination and become something tangible,

something you can hold in your hand and say 'Can you see this? No? Well, I can.'

He played a huge part in bringing the art-form back to prominence in the '80s and '90s.

From producing 'An American Tale' with Don Bluth,

to single-handedly reviving Warner Brothers' animation department.

Who are you people?

You can thank Spielberg for 'Tiny Toons,' 'Animaniacs,' 'Batman,'

and 'Freakazoid!'

Hey you guys in there! You wanna watch my show?

There we go. We did it. We finally mentioned Freakazoid.

Insert an unrelated Freakazoid joke here.

And now, a shot of a busy freeway:

Now, Spielberg didn't direct 'Roger Rabbit,'

That was 'Back to the Future's' Bob Zemeckis.

But as producer, his most important role was getting the other studios to play ball.

Spielberg convinced them to license out their toons for a ridiculously cheap price of $5,000 per character.

Just think about how insane that is,

I couldn't license 'Cow and Chicken' for five grand!

Never?

Never!

Never?

They came with some restrictions, though.

In the final film, the biggest stars are always together in the frame,

like Donald and Daffy's piano duel,

or Mickey and Bugs' bizarre skydiving scene.

Aw, poor fella!

That's because, in their contract, Warner Brothers insisted that the Looney Tunes have equal screen time as Disney characters.

Now, some studios still had the stones to straight-up stymie Spielberg,

which is why you don't see Tom and Jerry or Popeye or Little Lulu or Casper in the final film.

But overall, 'Roger Rabbit' is an extremely impressive feat,

one I never thought we'd see again in today's mega-corporate Hollywood.

But hey, I thought John Cena vs. the Rock was once in a lifetime,

and they had a rematch the next year.

For 'Ready Player One,' Spielberg came out swinging.

For one thing, between Warner Bros. and his own Amblin Entertainment,

they've already got the rights to a ton of characters referenced in the novel.

And given the success of the book,

it wasn't hard to convince other studios to jump on board..

Even video game publishers wanted in,

Although, again, sacrifices had to be made.

They had to replace Ultraman with the Iron Giant,

and while I'm happy to see him again,

didn't he like, choose not to be a mindless weapon of death and destruction?

It's okay, it's okay... We gotta show them you're good!

Instead of stomping through a CGI battlefield blasting people with reckless abandon?

I dunno if Brad Bird would approve, but still, he's a pretty good get,

but he's small potatoes compared to 'Star Wars'

I'm sure you are!

Not even the House of Mouse can refuse Spielberg,

most likely because they really wanna get that new Indiana Jones movie off the ground for whatever reason.

And it's pretty much confirmed we're at least gonna see an X-wing or two.

Although Disney did draw the line at their Marvel characters.

And, honestly, with 'Infinity War' coming out just a few weeks later,

I think I'm all set.

The OASIS would be pretty damn sparse without Spielberg,

and Toontown's population would be pathetic.

Studios hate sharing with their precious IP,

but with Spielberg, they knew it was in good hands.

That wasn't always the case, though.

'Roger Rabbit' and 'Ready Player One' have one more thing in common:

A lot of people had their

Doubts.

Disney hated 'Roger Rabbit,'

P-p-p-p-p-lease!!!

CEO Michael Eisner and Roy Disney were horrified about how dark and risque the film turned out.

And that's before they found out about the animators sneaking in subliminal nudity!

After disastrous test screenings, they demanded changes,

but Zemeckis had final cut privileges and refused to alter a single frame.

As a result, Disney decided released it under their more adult 'Touchstone Films' banner.

And, surprise, the movie was a huge success,

But because they chickened out at the last minute,

'Roger Rabbit' isn't really considered part of the Disney canon.

The bigwigs wouldn't give it a chance, and it's their loss.

The same way a lot of people don't want to give 'RPO' a chance,

people who dismiss it a shallow nostalgia circlejerk.

And, having read the book, they kind of have a point.

But if look you beyond Ernest Cline's bad writing and awkward name-dropping,

it's obvious that he really, truly loves the 'classics,'

and that his passion shines through on every page.

'Ready Player One' and 'Roger Rabbit' are about breaking down the walls between reality and fiction,

between people and pop culture,

and between characters you never dreamed would ever meet.

If 'Roger Rabbit' is any indication,

Spielberg will be able to look past all the references,

discover a story worth the spectacle,

and find the heart at the core of 'Ready Player One'

Thanks so much for watching!

US Immigration Is US Power - Duration: 4:08.

Hey there.

So how has the United States managed to keep winning for so long?

Whether or not you like the fact that the US has done so well for the past 200 years,

it's worth asking why.

There are a million ways to look at this, and countless factors that are important,

but today I would like to look at what is probably the most important factor: immigration.

In the year 1800 the United States was a tiny country, made up of a little over 5 million

people.

It was dwarfed and surrounded by the British, Spanish and French empires.

The US barely even had a navy in 1800.

If you had to choose the victor in the competition for hegemony in the Americas back then, you

probably wouldn't choose the US.

But the United States grew.

By 1900 the US had 76 million people and it had won the battle for North America.

It's numbers gave it the ability to dominate South America as well.

The question now was whether the United States would be able to be a big player in the world,

not just on the continent it was on.

It faced European Empires that were much more technologically advanced than they were 100

years earlier.

They now had instantaneous communication and massive battleships.

Those empires dwarfed the US population.

But the United States grew.

By 1950 the US had 152 million people and most of those grand empires were falling apart.

The question now was whether the US could prevail against its greatest threat ever,

the massive Soviet Empire.

The Soviets had over a hundred million more people than the US, and tens of millions more

in countries they controlled.

It didn't look good for the US.

But the United States grew.

By 2017 the US had 325 million people.

Even if it hadn't broken up, the United States would still be a larger country than

the Soviet Union today.

Continued immigration to the US has always given it the resources it has needed to overcome

all rivals.

But now we face a different challenge.

China isn't some flash in the pan European Empire.

From long before the Romans down to the 1800s China's population made it the most powerful

country on Earth.

It now expects to have that status renewed.

Will it happen?

Well that's up to US policy makers.

This is why I get defensive about US immigration, and why I think its opponents are nuts.

My support for immigration isn't about the kumbaya virtues of multiculturalism, or feel

good diversity nonsense.

US history shows that all that stuff fades pretty quickly.

Immigration is about power.

And those who seek to end immigration to the United States are working to undermine US

power.

Immigration to the US is already at historically low levels and elements of the Trump administration

are working hard to get them even lower.

Congress has been been able to block their worst ideas so far, but ambitious foreign

students are all ready choosing to go elsewhere.

I spend a lot of time mocking Washington, DC's invented threats, but there is one

threat that I don't mock.

The story of the twenty first century is likely to be the rivalry between the United States

and China.

The best way to keep that rivalry peaceful is to keep up with China's growth, or at

least not fall too far behind.

The United States doesn't need to be the size of China, though our continent sized

country could easily support that.

No, it's just a question of keeping up, and staying in the game until China's period

of extreme growth ends.

US immigration, is US power.

George Will: The American president is no longer the most powerful person in the world - Duration: 2:17.

The president has been, presumptively, the most powerful man in the world for so long

that Americans might be startled to know that it's not written in the laws of nature.

"Tear down this wall."

Beginning about 1942, the U.S. president became, and ever since has been, the most powerful

man in the world.

I believe that that is no longer the case.

In part because the current president, Mr. Trump, has pulled America back from the alliances,

which made the president so powerful.

The power of the United States militarily rests inevitably, at the end of the day, on

the power economically.

The confidence that other nations have in the stability and steadiness of American leadership

is diminished when the United States goes to arduous lengths to negotiate something

like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and then, almost on a whim, says, "Nevermind.

Come to think about it, we'll just take a pass on this."

This means that into this vacuum created by the American withdrawal will flow Chinese

power.

So as the power of the United States president is diminished, that of the president of China

increases.

The president of China being, I believe now, the most powerful man in the world.

The one constant in the remarkably shifting set of convictions and pronouncements of this

president has been hostility to free trade.

He has an awfully unsteady and hard-to-follow application of his protectionism.

He announces protectionism, and then he begins to announce carve-outs for certain preferred

nations and preferred industries.

Of course, that's the problem with protectionism, is it doesn't just give rise to crony capitalism,

it is inherently crony capitalism.

It's very hard to make clear what the principle is when the president imposes these, because

he imposes them on friends like Canada, jeopardizes uncertain allies like South Korea, aiming,

we're told, somehow at China.

But it's very hard to follow the principle in this scattershot pattern of president's

protectionist behavior.

How Hot is the Last Dab from Hot Ones? - Duration: 6:28.

oooohh I'm blowing fire

(exhale)

hi everybody, I'm Amanda the G and once more I am joined by the Table of Poor Decisions

I have become obsessed with the show Hot Ones

Hot Ones

and I love hot sauce

and spicy things

so I figured I would order some spicy things

from them

not sponsored

at all

in any way, shape, or form

so today I am going to be trying these

and I have my cooling station here because I learned last time

I need ice cream to put in my face so I don't vomit

I'm gonna start with

Bigfat's 708 Optimus Primo

which I think is going to be the least spicy of these

then we'll move to

Dawson's Heatonist #1

then there's my hot sauce from frikin' I don't know what type of death peppers

then we get into the Hot Ones the Last Dab Carolina reaper edition

and then the hottest thing

that's probably here, this is by a brand called Puckerbutts

it's called Reaper Squeezins

it has 3 ingredients

Carolina reapers, which is the number one ingredient

vinegar

and Carolina reaper powder

so

DEATH in a jar!

I think this one says that it's 9 outta 10 spicy

we're goin' 9 outta 10 and up!

I got the super friggin' spicy pack

of shit that's probably hotter than all the crap they put on Hot Ones

let's try this

it, ok, it starts out really sweet

where you get the orange juice

and then it starts to hit ya

and then it after-burns forward

but it's very sweet

I really like it

and my eyes are watering

(exhale) a little bit, this is gonna be a fun

FUN day

how the heck do you open this?

because the internet always wants proof, proof I'm frikin' eating it

it starts out tasting kind of like salad dressing

that actually might not be as spicy as the first one

I thought with the ghost peppers that it would be

hotter but I think it's tempered down so much by the oil and vinegar

now we're getting to my hot sauce

which I have a feeling is not gonna be as spicy

as these two because it does not have Carolina reapers in it

this is a completely different bottle

this is the exaact same hot sauce

this is the bottle that I usually keep in my fridge and I just

take the other ones and fill it up

and obviously I'm gettin' near the bottom, so I figured I would just

open a new one on this

and use that bottle but I can't get it open right now

so here's proof

proof that I'm eating this

now I'm used to this hot sauce because I literally put it on everything

so this like, it hits the back of your throat

but I really don't actually feel that bad with that

now this stuff

is thicc (laughing)

if you don't watch Hot Ones

they end with a sauce called the Last Dab

because they put a little extra dab on the hot wing

it's always sold out on their store

so they came up with a hotter one

a special edition of Carolina reapers

(sigh) and this is what we're gonna dab

we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna last dab the Last Dab

(bottle hitting table)

this is not our last dab today (nervous laughter)

I am taking a little dab of this

because I don't want to do a giant amount, and this is how much came out

so look

proof

I have it

cheers to you, here we go

woah

you taste the turmeric

you can definitely-

taste

(breathy) woooooo

you can taste the ginger and the turmeric

and the cumin

and coriander, like it's got a great-

(exhale)

complex

wooo

flavor

hhhhhaaaaaaaaa

I'm b- I'm

wooo I'm blowing fire

(exhale)

blowing fire

I'm just gonna eat, I'm gonna eat a chip

I'mma eat a chip

just a little dip into the cooling station

(exhale) I'm burning, oooh fire

ok now it's getting

it's getting a little warm in here

that is good

that is really good

I like it, I like that it hits you

like it hits you right with s- it hits you with spice the entire time

but you really get like

all of the like Indian spices with it

ok my mouth is still a little burning

and my eyes are watering a little bit

and my nose is definitely like cleared out

but it's not as bad as I thought it was gonna be, like

I thought this was gonna like kick me in the damn face

aaahhh my nose won't stop running!

we have come to our final hot sauce

I am gonna be preemptive here

and I am going to take the lid off of my ice cream

there's your spoon proof

(scared exhale)

(anticipated exhale)

psych myself up for this

3, 2, 1, let's go

oh that burns

aaahhhh ahhhhh hhaaaa hhhaaaa that burns!

that really burns! holy shit

(sniffle)

(raspy exhale)

I have to say it's not as bad as eating

just a pepper

(sniffle)

wooo

ok, every time I exhale it gets hotter

although the spice level in this- oh my god, ok

the sp- it's getting hotter

(mouth full) hang on, hang on I can't talk right now, it's getting hotter

aaahhhhhhh

although- oh my god, it's burning

(mouth full) it's burning so badly

there's, there's 3,000 servings in this bottle, there are not 30, you're frikin' wrong

aaaaahhh

(mouth full) that is burning a lot

that's it for the Table of Poor Decisions today

it's not that bad and every time I think

that I'm not feeling the spice at all anymore

I exhale or I talk

and I can feel it like along this side of my mouth
