This topic has certainly been more front and center recently. This video rather dramatically shows the inequality in the US.

View From My Window
It’s getting really noisy. The guy way on the left has been using a jack hammer on that cement section. Those two guys in red are cutting into the cement.
And I’m pretty sure that tall thing in the back right is one of those pile driver things that makes deep holes.
I’m still not sure what all the big pipes are for, but that small excavator has been moving them around.
Can anyone recommend a good set of noise cancelling headphones?

Don’t Drive and Phone
I don’t drive a lot, and I’ve always felt that talking on the phone while driving was a bad idea. Now I drive in crazy NYC traffic so that’s part of it. And I’m just not used to driving and talking on the phone, even if it’s hands free. So I assumed I wasn’t comfortable with it because I rarely do it.
Turns out my instinct was probably correct.
Here’s a video (amusingly sponsored by GEICO) comparing drunk driving and driving while talking on the phone. Both are horrible, but drunk driving is a bit safer.
But the drivers were holding the phone in their hand. Surely hands free is safer.

How to Advertise on a Porn Website
Eat24 is a food delivery website. That’s normal. But apparently their marketing plan is not totally normal (for the record, I do not use them).
Anyway, we like to do things differently around here. Very differently. When it comes to spreading our brand message, we usually take the road less travelled. This is one road we want to share with you, a road that took us where no marketing team has gone before. Well, at least not without clearing their browser history afterward.
They are a totally bootstrapped company so not swimming in ad cash. What to do?
PORN. Porn is the answer!
Honestly, we should’ve seen this one coming. Some of our heaviest users and biggest fans on social media just happen to be porn stars. Like, actual real-life porn stars
Enough teasing. Read the case study. And it really is a case study. Fascinating and hilarious and clearly NSFW.

Camouflage
Check out this video of octopus camouflage. It’s downright freaky. Sorry, but I can’t embed this video.

Not The Onion
Really, it’s not.
Iowa grants permits for blind residents to carry guns in public.
Sheriffs and advocates are divided on whether that’s a good idea.
Divided. Really.

Imagine me with a gun. It’s just crazy.
Seriously, this is not The Onion, or a spoof of any kind.
Really.

Conformity
For anyone who practiced music with a metronome, watch 32 different metronomes sync up by themselves in 4 minutes.
The physics are actually fascinating.

So, What’s It Going To Be?
Excellent political analysis from The Onion, as usual…
