Awesome stuff you have to share

Am I the only one who figures that gal doesn't LOOK "plus sized"? 

"Plus sized" doesn't have to mean disproportional.

I mean sure, maybe she's a little overweight. A few pounds here and there.

But her figure is miles above THIS GUY.

Once upon a time I wondered why guys dress up as any of the senshi (especially ones definitely not suited to the costume), but then I decided I probably didn't want to know.

Milla Jovovich is my personal Goddess...

Kate Beckinsale.

Click shows her as all loving and sweet.
Underworld shows her as absolute badass.
Magazine after magazine shows her as amazingly sexy.

Sensual, sexual, sexy, & sweet. 

Milla is #2 for me.
Used to be #1 before I saw so much of Kate, but for me, the goddess has been dethroned.

[Kuroimaken]

For me, Kate is significantly hotter than Milla. But that's partly because all she's done lately is let her husband pimp her out to a franchise that has a name it does not deserve.

We have this really, really annoying coworker. He complains about everything, argues about everything, and does shit nothing. So today he was in the middle of an argument and I busted in. He goes up and says, "Who the hell spoke to you?"

"Dude! I'm like Kobe Bryant's penis. If I want to do something, I just move in and fuck everything else."

Also, speaking of: She was at the same time as Wil Wheaton on Monday for the Firefall Fest.

Which I just found out about today, so I didn't see. Followd a link there from the Pathfinder SRD.
Considering I will be watching that on Saturday, when Nathan Fillion (I'd go gay) & Allison Haislip, I can't ever say I haven't found something good in Pathfinder

I didn't post the link with the intention of smearing anyone.

Now we can build with Bloodstone!

It sounds like something out of a Dario Argento film: soaring architecture built with fresh blood and sand. It’s no camp horror movie, though--rather, it’s an award-winning proposal from recent architecture school graduate Jack Munro.

“Animal blood is one of the most prolific waste materials in the world,” says Munro, a 2012 graduate of University of Westminster in London. “The blood drained from animal carcasses is generally thrown away or incinerated despite being a potentially useful product.”

In his final semester, Munro carried out an exhaustive study testing his hypothesis--that animal blood could be used in construction in underdeveloped areas where traditional building materials are scarce.

A single cow can produce about eight gallons of blood after it’s been slaughtered. Munro collected blood from four cows for his early tests, adding an antibacterial agent to stave off fungal growth and mixing it with sand. Then, he poured the mixture into a simple formwork and baked it at a fairly low temperature--only 160 degrees. He found that after only an hour of baking, the blood proteins coagulate to form a strong insoluble mass, bonding with the sand. He experimented with making glue first, then moved on to bricks. Compression testing suggests that he hasn’t hit on a concoction that produces a super strong brick, but they are waterproof, a major strength in areas where erosion is an issue.

Munro imagines the bricks in use in arid climates, like the Middle East, where mud bricks are typically used. For his thesis, he presented a design for a brick-making community in Siwa, Egypt, that “seeks to re-establish the autonomy of desert by using the waste blood from halal animal slaughter to create building materials.” Siwa’s agriculture industry has been decimated by changes in the Saharan desert, encroaching upon arable land. Brick-making could offer an alternative income to residents.

Munro’s building contains all parts of the production process: cattle sheds, slaughterhouse, and brick manufacturing facilities. “The building itself is formed by casting animal-blood-based adhesive over a sand dune and allowing the dune to migrate,” he explains, “revealing an interior space that can be excavated and occupied.”

“I believe there is certainly a potential for the real-world application of the techniques developed in the project,” Munro tells Co.Design over email. Right now, he’s looking to raise funds for a prototype single-story home built with his bricks in Siwa.

It all adds up to a strong and convincing concept. A weak point, of course, is how occupants will react to the taboo of living in houses built with blood. Then again, most of the general population is a-OK with the multitude of animal by-products used in everyday products. And at least in Munro’s case, he’s actually upcycling a product that would otherwise go to waste.

Well ok, it's not quite at the construction material strength yet.

Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe on Lamb Castration, PETA, and American Labor.

More Mike Rowe stuff.

Watching Mike talk about those things really hits home to me because I had pretty good success at trade stuff like woodworking, but am struggling to get behind my "dream" of one day being a computer programmer for video games, or maybe online education kinds of things.  With the competition in computers but labor shortage for people like plumbers and welders who can still make a great living, I'm genuinely reevaluating what I want to do and what would be practical and am thinking a degree in computer science isn't really what I want to do.

Here's an idea I had this evening.

Velvet Room, the nightclub (sort of).

-Only membership patrons may attend.
-Patrons are required to wear a mask at all times. Unmasking for any other purpose than sanitizing or mask-swapping gets you out of the nightclub for the night.
-A tarot card is assigned to each patron. The methods of choice vary.
-The nightclub is expressly noted as possessing an ultimate purpose, but none except the owner are permitted to know what it is.
-Patrons are encouraged to provide their own exhibitions and entertainment (subject to the house's approval) above and beyond those provided by the nightclub itself.
-Alcohol may or may not be served randomly to patrons (namely some may be getting "drunk" out of stupidity alone).
-Nudity within club limits is discouraged, but not prohibited.

Sound crazy enough?

Sound crazy enough?

For what?

[Kuroimaken]

Well, anything really. All I want to know is if it sounds crazy. The use I can find later.
