Inside a Camera at 10,000fps - The Slow Mo Guys. Interstate Highway System. A rural stretch of I-5, with two lanes in each direction separated by a large grassy median and with cross-traffic limited to overpasses and underpasses History[edit] Planning[edit] The United States government's efforts at constructing a national network of highways began on an ad hoc basis with the passage of the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916, which provided for $75 million over a five-year period for matching funds to the states for the construction and improvement of highways.[5] The nation's revenue needs associated with World War I prevented any significant implementation of this policy, which expired in 1921.
The Bureau of Public Roads asked the Army to provide a list of roads it considered necessary for national defense.[6] In 1922 General John J. Pershing, former head of the American Expeditionary Force in Europe during the war, complied by submitting a detailed network of 20,000 miles of interconnected primary highways—the so-called Pershing Map.[5]
Stealth Suit. They say the suit makes the man.
But the material makes the suit, so we partnered with famed Swiss mill Schoeller to produce a super fabric of movement-enabling elastane yarns, moisture-wicking nylon, and a layer that actually reduces heat build-up by deflecting infrared rays. For added durability, Stealth is finished with a light water-resistant polymer and its seams are reinforced with weatherproof tape.
It's the suit you’ll want to wear everywhere – and thanks to its versatile design, you can. Shut up and take my money.

Pakistan's Earthquake Was So Powerful It Created a New Island - Connor Simpson. A major earthquake struck southwestern Pakistan earlier today killing over 100 people; injuring thousands more; collapsing building and houses; and, incredibly, causing a small island to form in the sea off Pakistan's coastline.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake that hit Pakistan's Baluchistan province early Tuesday morning was a 7.8 magnitude. Officials recently said that at least 150 people died during the quake, with that number expected to rise as the Pakistani military continues the clean up. Boat with garage door.

The McDonald’s of the future is here (well, in Georgia) today.
When you think of McDonald’s, the first thing that comes to mind is not usually architecture.
Sure, there are those golden arches and some clever usages of ball pits, but that’s about it — until now. A new McDonald’s location in Georgia (the country) could force you to rethink everything you thought you knew about those red-and-yellow splashed, plastic furniture-filled palaces of fries. Architect Giorgi Khmaladze designed a combination gas station and McDonald’s restaurant for a company called Socar. As you can see in the gallery above, it’s quite striking. The building, placed in the seaside town of Batumi, Georgia is not like any Mickey D’s you’ve ever seen — it bears more resemblance to I.

There were reports of injuries in Tokyo as officials tried to assess damage, injuries and deaths from the quake and tsunami, but there were no immediate details.
