coda Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Don't know if this has been mentioned yet (I think this is well known in the US) Bloke in his 50s moves to Alaska to live, er, alone in the wilderness. He's pretty much self-sufficient building his own cabin and hunting/fishing. The level of craftsmanship he displays is amazing. The cabin is a work of art. He stayed there for most of the next 30 years, coping at over 80 in temperatures of -40C at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 UK only for the moment (I'm sure it's available elsewhere if you know where to look) but the BBC are doing an interesting series on the construction of Crossrail. The fifteen billion pound railway. It's largely focussed on the people building the thing, but some of the feats of engineering are crazy. The stuff they have to resort to to stop subsidence and trying to squeeze new railway line through a gap between an existing London Underground tunnel and an escalator shaft.

The_Rev Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Well, it's the same kind of things the Metropolitan Railway had to deal with in 1860 in a roundabout kind of way I guess. They didn't have lasers back then though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) This is a good short documentary, about America and the New court rulings have declared overcrowded prisons to be unconstitutional. Shows what Salinas Valley State Prison are trying to do about it, and rehabilitating murderers before they get returned to the streets. Also the guy at 33:05 Edited July 28, 2014 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Short documentary.. Undercover Cop Tricks Autistic Student into Selling Him Weed. This is the story of Jesse Snodgrass, a kid with Aspergers Syndrome who was entrapped by an undercover cop posing as a student at Jesse's high school. This is the story of how the war on drugs preys on the most vulnerable. Edited July 31, 2014 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Has anyone watched Bronies? The documentary about grown men who watch My Little Pony? It's quite interesting, and suprisingly doesn't leave you thinking "what a bunch of freaks/ wierdos/ peados". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
