I'm not terrified with this but anyway it's this.

If you are paranoid with that, dump your hard disc into something that melts something like ceramic and steel(blast furnace is recommended) or turn it into fine grain, buy a random computer from a random store (no, don't ask to send it to your home) and don't connect to the internet or with any USB items.
The side effect is erasing everything inside into oblivion, so that one hard disc will not be back because it's molten and shared with all the great liquid stuff. Perfect if you wanna destroy every data inside that one hard disc.

You can't be too careful when protecting your private data.

Brits, Canadians, Germans, Chinese and Brazilians have hydrogen buses, I suspect better technology will one day make hydrogen fuel cells more readily available for the public

OIOI BREAKING NEWS YH YH
Honda nipons have created technocar w' hydrogenmotor

They've built a terrifying monstrosity that constantly spews lethal dihydrogen monoxide out the back of the vehicle.

What's lethal is probably it's heat. Add with the fact that hot hydrogenic things(something like water etc.) could heat things to the point of ignition to the mix*. Bam*.
_{*no pun intended}

You dont want NSA to know your favorite japanese cartoons?

I don't want them knowing anything. As noted in the song "why can't we be friends" the intelligence community is mostly made up of people who were too sleazy to make it in organized crime.

Yeah, there's that. Probably not the most best people to give control of all information.

Pretty good. I feel like it should have ended at 1:37 though, the rest of it sort of took away from it for me.

[Graknorke]

Nah, it should have cut out the bits between 1:37 and 2:15

I already knew these were a thing. But I was creeped out by some of these nonetheless...

Some are pretty creepy, but others are quite beautiful, actually.

It's a perfectly reasonable practice for that era, given the lack of proper healthcare, terrifying infant mortality, and ubiquitous belief in the afterlife at the time: Almost every parent lost a child, and almost every child lost a sibling or a parent, and when the bereaved were told in church that they would soon be reunited with their loved ones in Heaven, they would understandably want to maintain relations with their dead family members as if they were just visiting a distant uncle in the countryside.

The one above (5) is just... haunting. Possible pun unintended.

Not so much terrifying, but quite unpleasant; My college is implementing "Standard Event Plans", which are obviously mostly just about the concern of some idiot deciding to shoot everybody. We were notified of this as a disturbing half-hour interlude to the urbane discussion of AC versus DC electrical transmission.

[IcyTea31]

I think the real interesting thing about that is that the college didn't already have such plans. My highschool allegedly has plans for anything up to and including a nuclear meltdown in a nearby country, though only the fire plan is public. That's probably because if (say) the gun-toting-maniac-plan was public, that maniac could also study it and plan the shooting with it in mind.

I think I need to invest in a stress ball. I've always been a fairly angry person, but lately more things seem to make me angry than usual.

Just before my internet inexplicably stopped working, despite my connection status being full, and I very nearly smashed my computer and everything on my desk in a fit of rage. Had to stop myself with a great deal of willpower. That's how my old laptop met its end, actually... and the smartphone I used to have... and most of my non-smart phones since then.

A stress ball or similar rage-expending item would solve all my problems.

[miauw62]

... in the same way that painkillers solve pain.

[scrdest]

... in the same way that painkillers solve pain.

More accurately, in the same way that painkillers solve having a stab wound.

[Yoink]

...I think that comparison would be more accurate if I broke all my things, then pulled out a stress ball to try and make it better.

[Orange Wizard]

Yeah, anger isn't a problem you solve by repressing it.

[Yoink]

Yeah, anger isn't a problem you solve by repressing it.

ಠ_ಠ Are you suggesting I kill all the people who make me angry? Tsk, that's absurd.
I am aiming for a reasonable, healthy solution here. One which won't land me in prison or an early grave.
