This video is 🔥🔥🔥
I'm here from "Dave Barry in Cyberspace". It only took me 25 years to get here.
I worked with George Goble in the 80's when they had VAX-11/780 minicomputers at the department. He had a full blown video arcade game in his office called TEMPEST, and the vanity license plate on his car said UNIX. We LARPed dungeons and dragons in the steam tunnels, and played games like ZORK and colossal caves ADVENTURE and LARN on the original ARPANET, on green screen adm3 terminals with cherry keyboards running unix ( remember the unix prompt +++ and learning to program in FORTRAN with IBM punch cards ? ). Fun Times.
"Alright George, light the grill!"
"Wait a minute, that's a figure of speech… light the charcoal in the grill, not the steel itself!"
anybody sent from tkor?
Ok?…

Hello, TKOR.
I am honored to report that George Goble was a year behind me at Centerville (IN) Jr. High and was already a certified genius, having demonstrated a basic binary computer that could do math using collected components including an old rotary phone dial. That was in 1966!
Foolish idiot! Liquid oxygen explosives were popular before dynamite became invented and widely available. The only reason he's not dead is the LOx was added while the fire was going, reverse it and KABOOM!
nice
This actually looks like thermite and a molotov had a baby.

Oldie but goodie. This version is shorter and has no sound?
How to be the first man in space in street clothes?
Lighting. not Lightning
Melting your barbecue is like epic win and fail at the same time.
Fun fact: this is the sort of science behind Roy Mustang's Flame Alchemy. His transmutation circle transmutes the surrounding gasses into a mass of oxygen, causing a mere spark to ignite into a roaring inferno in the direction of his target.
This man is a professional. Do not try this at home.
Now that we've said that, we know damned well that you're going to try this at home, so just pay attention and remember that he's using what we professional pyromaniacs call a "long-handled thingy" to light the BBQ.
So glad to see this again. Haven't seen it since '95!

i think you got that wrong
"The coal is already started if the grill is glowing!"
I'm off to troll some family BBQs with bucket of liquid oxygen.
Err, isnt the grill already started if the coal already glowing?
