The two videos embedded in this post are called “Beech Grove Walmart fight part 1” and “Beech Grove Walmart fight part 2.” Each video carries the same YouTube description: “2 women and a kid fight at Walmart.” I just want everyone to be clear on what they are getting into here.
Part 1, above, begins with two women arguing somewhere offscreen. Things are already pretty heated by the time the video starts, and one of the would-be combatants is threatening to dismount her rascal scooter in order to fight. (Spoiler alert: She does.) It is at about the 57-second mark that you will hear a new, unfamiliar voice enter the argument. A high-pitched threat is made.
I don’t know why Daniel thinks I can provide “assistance” with such a hefty donation.

The robot apocalypse has been postponed. At DARPA Robotics Challenge in California, where the world’s best and brightest robots came to compete, the machines were far from invincible. They moved at a glacial pace, stumbled and slammed to the ground and lay there motionless until their teams of humans came with a rig to pick them up. But their falls and flaws revealed how vulnerable they are, and actually made them seem more human in the process. These machines exhibited grit, intelligence and dexterity that could potentially make them stellar first-responders in disaster situations in the near future.
DARPA launched the robotics challenge as a response to Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. And the agency’s been putting robots to the test for the last couple of years. It’s their way of pushing robotics to create advanced machines that can go in as first-responders instead of humans. Despite their benefits, though, robots are often dreaded. But the machines at the two-day robotics challenge had the crowd cheering wildly, gasping loudly and jumping out of their seats in support and anticipation.
Don’t worry — it’s not another super yacht or party barge or some other contraption that will further pollute the ocean.
It’s called The Ocean Cleanup, and it’s a 1.2-mile-long system designed to collect and remove plastic from the ocean.
For two years, it will hang out in the ocean hopefully to begin undoing what we’ve done for decades: polluted the heck out of the water with plastic trash.
Might need to add some miles to that system with the amount of bottled water we drink.
I love this. Although my cynical side wants to say that people will figure they can now throw whatever they want into the ocean and this thing will scoop it up. Of course, they’re kind of doing that anyway… we’ll see.
Definitely a step in the right direction…but I think it needs bumped up in scale. It’s like those cars that get 50 miles per gallon for gas. Sure that’s awesome but we need cars that get 500 miles per gallon. Shoot for the moon and all…
But similar to what you’re talking about is where we should be focusing our energies — we should stop using plastic bottles in the first place. It’s not sustainable to be spending money cleaning up our messes. There will always be more people making said messes than people cleaning them up.
People are gonna buy cheap, portable water — there’s no stopping that now. So we should be spending money on bottles that deteriorate a few days after opening, something along those lines.
As far as the cars go, I think we need to move away from gas entirely. We’re eventually going to run out anyway. Though we’d run out slower at 500 mpg.
I like the deteriorating bottle idea. I think a 2-pronged approach would be good: make the disposable bottles less harmful, but also encourage people to bring a reusable bottle and make tap water available. It’s working for plastic bags up here (not sure what the situation is where you are, but here they started charging for plastic bags and the default behavior is now to bring reusable ones or do without, eg if you only have one item maybe you can just carry it in your hand). There are a few I ♡ Tap Water campaigns out there.
My pick would be solar hover-cars. Imagine the money we’d save if we didn’t need to pay for gas or tires.
San Francisco banned plastic bags outright. I imagine other cities will follow suit if they haven’t already. I also think that the governments should heavily tax any retailer, what have you, if they use said plastic bags.
There should also be a heavy tax on non-eco-friendly containers. If you want to buy your Dasani bottles — go for it. You’ll just be charged $15 a pop.
Thirty years ago today, one of the more important movies ever made specifically for kids was released. And yeah, it’s The Goonies. Hear me out. Richard Donner’s 1985 adventure film (how often do we describe films as such anymore, by the way?) about a band of misfit preteens and teenagers negotiating the perils of malfunctioning secret weapons, on-the-run mafiosos, aggressive land redevelopment, an unseen octopus, a lost pirate treasure, a series of life-threatening booby traps, a basement-dwelling, caramel- and peanut-loving man-creature, friendship, and puberty, among other things, stands as one of the best examples of a movie that you love as a child and then are pleased to learn is actually still good when you’re an adult.
They need to put a head on that cheetah, it’s a little freaky. The jumping is super cool though.
I think “controlled by thought” is a little misleading, I mean it’s just intercepting the electrical impulses the brain is sending to muscles that are no longer present. Saying it’s thought-controlled implies to me that it can be controlled remotely, like telekinesis. I actually think the truth is pretty interesting.
Apparently I’m feeling a little persnickety about language this morning.
