Re: sarcasm mode, my feeling is that if you need to use it in order to be understood you have no business being sarcastic anyway. It's kind of like telling a joke and asking people if they get it immediately afterwards.

TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT! WAKE UP!
What's the matter, Rainbow Dash?
LOOK AT ME!
*rubs eyes* You look fine to me...
Look closer Twilight! I LOST MY WINGS!
Whoa...how did this happen?
I don't know! I just woke up this morning and they were gone!
Oh dear.
What am I gonna do? Now I'll NEVER be able to join the Wonderbolts! ;_;
Rainbow, calm down. I'm sure we'll be able to--
(Rainbow runs through a door at the end of the hall marked GLUE FACTORY: SUICIDES WELCOME)
Sigh...
(Twilight uses her magic to pull Rainbow back through the door. Rainbow continues to struggle so Twilight holds her down with magic)
You know, the longer I have to restrain you, the longer that is that I'm not looking for a way to get your wings back.
Fine, I'll relax. Just let me go.
(Twilight lets Rainbow go.)
Haha!
(Rainbow makes another run for the door, but Twilight uses her magic to make the door disappear, so Rainbow runs straight into a wall.)
Sounds like it is mostly in E Phrygian Dominant/A Harmonic minor...
Hey control your language around here. This is youtube, and if you can't make pathetic slurs and animal innuendoes with racist overtones with a healthy dose of six grade impatience and jealousy, then you have no business peddling your wares around here...................

I still don't understand the purpose of these:
Ohio has just been using standard R/Y/G signals for pedestrian crossings as long as I can remember, and it never seemed to cause any problems...
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
That is indeed cool. Though oddly, one of the reconstructions looks kind of like a souvenir penny-pressing machine.

Oh god, this is such a cool video. It's from 1990, and the guy explains how a mechanical signal controller works...those were being phased out even back then!

Night, whale.
CA: Hmm, pretty interesting. It seems odd that he says he's never seen a burnt-out traffic bulb before. I actually have seen them from time to time. But then again, they're usually on intersections with two sets of lights on each side, so the other light kind of covers for it.

I've seen burned-out lights as well, but I figured it was just because I specifically pay attention to that kind of thing.
Old-fashioned incandescent traffic light bulbs are usually replaced once a year, so as to keep them running before they burn out. Over the past 15 years or so, though, pretty much every agency has moved to LED traffic lights, which only have to be replaced every 10 years, and can be easily retrofitted in old signals.
People talk about certain things being immortal...like the works of Shakespeare, or the music of Mozart...but how do you know that? Will anyone care about that stuff in 10,000 years? 50,000? 100,000? Time is merciless, man. She kills everything eventually. The sun burns out. The universe collapses or whatever theory is fashionable right now
