This is some footage (that leaves something to be desired, namely a better view and an ultra-highspeed camera) of the US Air Force testing a rocket sled traveling at 6,400ft/sec. For reference, a mile is 5,280-feet, so this thing is doing 6,599MPH! That’s Mach 8.6. Holy shit! You know it’s
In getting pitted, so pitted news, this is a video of a surfer successfully dodging 25 other surfers paddling out to catch waves while riding one of his own. Clearly, he has a fair amount of control over his board. Me? I wake up with a rogue boner at 3AM
In some ideas are best left unrealized news, this is a video from Adam of Youtube channel North Of The Border (I prefer South Of The Border myself, but that’s just me and I enjoy palm tree beaches and frozen cocktails) creating a ‘realistic’ LEGO minifig sculpture. Ugh, those eyes.

That’s nice, because if there’s one thing a CrossFitter needs, it’s somebody besides themselves to care about their workout. Also, if this was one of Hemingway’s polydactyl cats it
Because how it’s made is often a fascinating process (especially love), this is a video from a factory where a GWIN TECH blow-molding machine makes an entire boat from a solid piece of plastic. The blow-molding process involves heating a bladder of plastic so it’s nice and malleable, then pressing
