It's Colin Furze, so all the usual suspects, but the eye opener is the roof he's removing with an angle grinder. Children live in this house.

(The shed roof is corrugated asbestos concrete).

It's okay, he was wearing one of these:

Someone earlier in the thread said back when the planet was hotter, lava would flow like water. Now, it's like warm honey.

In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.
This lava is coming directly off the mantle now too, so it's hotter than normal for Hawaiian volcanoes. And according to one of the USGS update videos, the lava channel is doing an excellent job of insulating the river, which is why it's so bright orange.

It’s not actually floating, right? Or is it, somehow, possibly from pockets of gas?

With the notable exception of ice, the liquid form of X is generally less dense than the solid form of X, I'm pretty sure

Also unlike water: most materials including rocks are denser in their solid states than in their liquid states.

Some igneous rock has density figures lower than some of the numbers I've seen for lava density, so I imagine there are occasions where rocks are floating on lava, whether or not that one is.

We don't actually know that the rock is properly floating in any case, it looks more like it's rolling on a second solid being pushed by the lava.

Also good ideas:

- Don't admit it was intentional on the world's largest loudspeaker
- Don't admit you have no remorse on the world's largest loudspeaker

What a loving rear end in a top hat.

Just shut the gently caress up about it, delete the picture, and cut the guy a check for like 50k. That's like a nickel for him.

I dunno I pulled the number out of my rear end. The point is that kind of money isn't really currency when you are that rich. He should be more concerned with his reputation.

People paying artists in "exposure" and the rich telling people to be grateful are two of the things that really get under my skin.

If Musk had drawn a recognisable character like Pissing Calvin, it would be recognised that everyone is being dickish about it.

Musk should have apologised and deleted the icon and that would have been the end of it. He did no real damage to the unicorn’s creator.

Context matters.

If Musk had used it to sell flamethrower blow lamps as a graphic on the website or the box or the product itself, by all means go scorched Earth on him.

As a hand‐drawn Easter egg, I say let it go with an apology.

Legally speaking, they unicorn’s creator is going to have a hard time demonstrating actual damages and they can’t get statutory damages unless they registered the character.

He registered the character and was selling it on merchandise.

the context is he used it in things he was selling and to promote his products on social networks. if it's good enough to put on merchandise it's good enough for the artist to get paid.

If he registered it, Musk should settle before he loses in court. I would say the same thing if he had drawn Mickey Mouse.

There are still no actual damages. No one is buying a car or not buying a mug because the car features a drawing of a farting unicorn deep in a menu.
