The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

Solar. Freaking. Roadways!



Seriously, this concept seems awesome in theory. Not sure how well it would work in application. But the sheer concept alone (powering 3x what the country needs for power with clean energy) is astounding. There's an Indigogo link in the video description and they've already raised half a million dollars for the project.

I think if they can solve the challenges with frost heave, they'll be onto something.
The biggest problem with solar <anything> is that in order for it to be really worthwhile, it will need a massive deployment. Otherwise it's like cell phone towers but only when you're in a city.

I grew up in a Jewish/Chaldean neighborhood which bordered on Detroit and also had a heavy Asian population. Then I studied Spanish and choir (which included singing a lot of German, French, and Italian).
If I don't make a deliberate effort not to, I will automatically assume your accent when I talk to you. I swear I don't do it on purpose.

There's been talk about this kind of stuff for a long time. Still, it's a cool idea.

These women in Iran learn an important lesson about selfies and driving. The video is jarring, but the uploader says everybody is fine.


 
If you're going to give Doctor Who a musical number, I'd imagine this is the most appropriate: (Also, great casting on Martha and Donna)

This is one of my favorite stories to read to kids. The children here are often extra anxious because a lot is expected of them. If you have a kid who freaks out easily over little things, this is a great story for them. It's playful and cute with really cool art.
