I realized I wanted a fresh start with a new blog its not going very different from this blog, just with a better tagging system, because I have grown tired of being able to find post back anyone interested can follow me @endless-confused I might be cleaning this blog out in the next couple of months or just add tags to old post, but I’m not sure
Scientists hope to hugely reduce the cost of wind energy by removing the blades from wind farms, instead taking advantage of a special phenomenon to cause the turbines to violently shake.
Vortex, a startup from Spain, has developed the tall sticks known as Bladeless — white poles jutting out of the ground, that are built so that they can oscillate. They do so as a result of the way that the wind is whipped up around them, using a phenomenon that architects avoid happening to buildings and encouraging it so that the sticks shake.
They do so using vortices, which is where the company gets its name from. The bladeless turbines use special magnets to ensure that the turbines are optimised to shake the most they can, whatever speed the wind is travelling at.
As the sticks vibrate, that movement is converted into electricity by an alternator.

These also look like they would cause fewer problems for birds and bats.
This is really cool.
They leave off the important note that when the wind rises, each pole makes a sound like a hundred vuvuzelas roaring at once. In the post-apocalyptic world of the future, villagers will speak in hushed tones about the Roaring Plains, and caution adventurous travelers to stay well away.
I appreciate how they essentially invented very useful yet alien-looking screaming pillars. Science continues to make some suspiciously sci-fi shit.
At least you won’t have to go outside to know how windy it is… You’ll hear it.
They provide us energy
They provide us warmth
They love us
These martyr gods, their twitching agony is our salvation
This inspiring viewpoint on Mark’s recent vlogs was posted on the /r/markiplier subreddit by /u/terminavelocity. I believe it deserves to be spread around.
Thanks so much for sharing this! Currently not in Los Angeles (filming another van video lol) and was up early today thinking about how to make better videos and this was exactly what I need to see this morning. I’ve been enthralled by the response to the videos and have been laughing and smiling at the various theories but this is the first comment that made me tear up a bit.
To be honest, this is why I wanted to make videos like this.
I was gonna wait until the livestream tomorrow to start talking about this (and give answers to WKM) but I just wanted to say thank you so much to /u/terminavelocity for taking the time to watch the videos and I’m so glad you enjoyed them. I honestly had no idea if this insane video concept was gonna work but the one thing that I kept repeating to myself over and over and over in the weeks leading up to this was that my relationship with you guys is the most important thing in the world to me.
The execution isn’t perfect but I wanted to somehow invoke the feeling that you guys were really there with me. I don’t want to turn into a daily vlog channel (and I haven’t, trust me) but when I took a break I set a goal to only make videos that I’m truly proud of and that are worthy of people’s time. But this was one of those things where in order to be true to what I wanted to accomplish I kinda had to dive in head first and hope for the best. Any awkwardness or unnaturalness is a result of me getting used to something I’ve never done before haha.
I’ll save more detail for the livestream Saturday but honestly thank you all so much. The van videos aren’t the only type of videos I’m going to be doing in the future, I’ve got so many other new ideas I want to try. And for those who are worried, the gaming content is not gone in any way shape or form. In fact you’re probably gonna get more than ever! I just have to try the new stuff first :D
But truly, just thanks for believing in me and being there for me. It means the world.
Stop abusing your boyfriends and yes what you are doing is abuse.
Stop:
Yelling at him in front of his friends
Hitting or slapping him when he does or says something you don’t like
Telling him he doesn’t have a choice when it comes to decisions that involve both of you
Telling him he can’t hang out with friends because you don’t like him
Telling him to not talk to other girls even if they are his friend
Forcing him to spend every moment with you
Belittling him and pointing out all his flaws
Calling him stupid or making fun of him for making a mistake
Threatening to break up with him if he doesn’t do what you want
Being emotionally manipulative and crying until he does what you want
Accusing him of cheating every time he’s not with you
Blow up is phone if he doesn’t text you every five minutes
Telling him you are the must thing that has ever happened to him and no one else will love
Physically attacking him when ever you are mad
Forcing him to have sex despite that fact that he said he didn’t want to
Invading his privacy by going through his phone
Getting mad at him for changing his password and demanding he tell you what it is
If a guy did any of these things to a girl it would be considered abuse but since its the other way around its considered normal. Throughout High school I saw many girl treating their boyfriends like shit. Sometime even physically abusing them in the hallways and no one trying to stop it because its a girl attacking a boy.
Boys: If your girlfriend does anything on this list leave her. It is abuse and you deserve better.
Girls: if you find your self doing anything on this list to your boyfriend you need to knock it off because you are being abusive.
!!!!!!!!
My brother was abused by his babies mom and it started like this and escalated to child abuse and neglect.
You don’t deserve to be screamed at, ignored, or assaulted.
Not showing affection when she wants or not hugging her before class) or missing a phone call doesn’t warrant getting cussed out or hit.
Lol, I lost 5 followers from reblogging this. That’s fine, y'all can go
Whole lot of grown women do this too.
Just wanna throw these in too
Being passive aggressive with him when he wants to spend time with friends or doing other things
controlling when he’s able to go out with friends
Breaking up his friendships with other girls just because you’re insecure
Making him feel like his opinions in decisions that affect the both of you are irrelevant and don’t matter
testing him in anyway in general without his knowledge or permission (example: catfishing! it’s manipulative and weird don’t fucking do that)
taking money/credit cards without permission to spend on things without his knowledge ( had an ex friend do this constantly to her boyfriend and she’d always condone it because “he’ll get over it” )
guilting him for hanging out with friends/family over you and making him choose between you and friends/family
telling him “you don’t love me if you *insert harmless activity he wants to do here* “
being rude or mean to him in front of others to assert dominance or power over him
downloading apps to spy on his phone activity (yes, this is a thing “”regular”” people do) or snooping on his social media to see who he’s talking to
hitting him, slapping him, punching him, shoving him. literally how do people not understand slapping your male partner is bad. people tend to find this funny in media and society and its weird. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF YOUR PARTNER WITHOUT PERMISSION.
I come from a family of very forward and manipulative women and i see it in media all the time. it’s fucked and people need to not be accepting of young girls acting like snot-nosed, abusive shit heads that think they can get away with manipulation and cruelty because they happen to be girls.
