Carly Fiorina Really Should Have Remembered to Register Her Domain Name
by Kate Knibbs
HabanerocouscousSick trolling
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina just announced that she’s running for president, gunning for the GOP presidential bid along with Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. But it looks like she forgot to register her domain names before jumping into the political arena. Whoops.

Video: How processed deli meat is made
by Casey Chan on Sploid, shared by Casey Chan to Gizmodo
Though it might look like some sort of condom testing or water balloon making, what you’re actually looking at is bologna being made. The natural casing gets fitted over a stuffing horn and filled with a meat mixture of beef, pork and seasoning. It’s then smacked with a spike and smoked until it comes out looking veiny and alive. Pretty cool (gross), right!

Rockets' Twitter Guy Fired Over Emoji Violence
by Samer Kalaf
The Rockets’ Twitter account sent out a tweet Tuesday night as the team played Game 5 against the Mavericks, which showed a gun to a horse’s head in emoji, along with, “Shhhhh. Just close your eyes. It will all be over soon.” (Houston was in the process of eliminating Dallas.) The tweet was deleted shortly after , and Chad Shanks, the digital communications manager behind the tweet, was apparently fired today.

George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires
by samzenpus
BarbaraHudson writes His neighbors wouldn't let him build a film studio on his land, so George Lucas is retaliating in a way that only the cream of Hollywood could — by building the largest affordable housing development in the area — and footing the entire $200 million bill, no government subsidies or grants. The complex of affordable housing, funded and designed by Lucas, would sit on 52 acres of land and provide homes to 224 low-income families, and there's very little his fellow Bay Area residents can do about it, because the land is zoned residential.

I'm Not Putting My Arm Anywhere Near This Blood-Thirsty Needle Robot
by Andrew Liszewski
HabanerocouscousI get why this would freak people out but it seems kind of awesome to me
It promises to make having blood drawn or getting injections far more comfortable and stress-free, but outside of a few testers (who are probably being well-compensated) who among us is willing to give a robot like the VenousPro a taste for human blood—specifically your blood?

by Timothy Burke

Kendrick Perkins, With The Classic Nine-Step Move
by Samer Kalaf
NBA truthers, this is your moment. Kendrick Perkins’s shuffle is your chance to say “He traveled,” and not be seen as a joyless penis. No one will hate you. Well, they probably still will, but not to the usual degree.

Excellent Chimp Knocks Stupid Drone Right Out Of The Sky
by Tom Ley
Somebody thought a chimpanzee habitat would be a good place to fly a drone, an invasive piece of technology that techno-knobs are really into these days. That somebody was wrong.

Matchstick Rockets Captured at 2,500 fps Look Like Tiny ICBMs
by Andrew Liszewski
If you’ve never wrapped aluminum foil around a match to turn it into a miniature rocket you’re missing out on a really great childhood experience. The one thing most of us didn’t have as kids was access to a high-speed video camera, but thankfully the Slow Mo Guys do, and they filmed this tiny launch at 2,500 FPS.

Watching CDs Explode At 170,000 FPS Is Better Than Fireworks
by Andrew Liszewski
Adding more credence to the notion that everything is better in slow motion, the Slow Mo Guys strapped a compact disk to a vacuum cleaner motor and spun it up to 23,000 RPM. At that speed the disk simply disintegrated under the forces, and thankfully the duo's high-speed camera was there to capture the destruction at 170,000 FPS.

Wi-Fi Signals Look Incredibly Uneven When They're Visualized
by Chris Mills
HabanerocouscousReflections are complicated
You probably don't think about Wi-Fi signal much, except when you're at the the wrong end of your apartment and swearing profusely. But rather than being some steady, even projection of data, Wi-Fi actually looks completely random when you map it out in 3-D.

Watching a knife instantly heat up makes me believe in magic
by Casey Chan
Induction forging is probably the closest thing we have on this wee Earth that can be considered magic. Just watch this knife glide through the coils of this induction heater and instantly (instantly!) glow bright red because it got so damn hot. I would stick all kinds of metal through that hole.

by Billy Haisley
Warning: the video above of Roma's Radja Nainggolan sliding in on Chievo Verona's Federico Mattiello and giving him a new knee joint in the middle of his shin is pretty gnarly. Watch (and listen, because you can hear the thing crack) at your own peril.

This Is What Lockheed's New Laser Can Do
by Adam Clark Estes
Lockheed Martin recently tested its new Advanced Test High Energy Asset (ATHENA) laser—not to be confused with the Navy's laser —on the Ford F-150 pictured above. The weapons system hit the truck's running engine from a mile away. The engine doesn't run any more.
