Thanks for the quality

Fantastic explanation! I guess wasn't taking the angles of incidence into account because I was treating the entire car as a single point (blunder on me, I know). Thank you for the clarification, you explained it well.

@Tymbrwulf

I hope this makes sense, im more of a visual person, so writing it out might sound confusing...

Imagine theres individual photons of light reflecting off of the car that is giving you the information of what the car looks like. Now recall the part in the video about the angle of incidence. Parts of the car that are closer to the ground are going to reach their angle of incidence closer to the car (from where you are standing), while higher parts of the car are going to reach this point closer to you from where you are standing. So now if you imagine yourself standing there, looking at the mirage, the image will appear upside down because the varying angles of incidence "flips" the image.

Both the words reflecting and mirror are somewhat misleading when describing the physics behind mirages because neither of which are actually involved with what is going on. The light is actually bending because its following the path of least resistance (through the hotter air above the road). But its described as if it is "reflecting from a mirror" because that is something that people are familiar with, but in essence is really a lie.

Why does it act like a mirror when it is not reflecting off of anything?

good thing his iphone came out ok...

Damn nature, you scary!

the title is misleading, it has nothing to do with the video.

if you look at his facial features though, its exactly the same. Or maybe he does that every time he does this song? Check out how he scrunches his eyes/eyebrows when he starts the "synth" part after the drum/snare/bass.

I had my finger on the dupe button.

it is my understanding from listening to the video that the fee applies to fire protection services to those living outside of city limits. While it does seem 'assholish' of the city to do, it makes some amount of sense to charge for a service to someone who is outside the normal fire department service range. The city provides the fire department services to those who are within the city limits as part of the peoples tax money, and since the city does not receive money from those who live outside the limits, they have to cover the cost somehow.

Don't get me wrong, I think that this totally sucks, but its more of a problem of not having the right answer to a problem. There has to be a better way to solve the cost issue other than an "insurance" plan with the fire department.

Those are fishing jigs, which have weights inside the plastic worm. The motor is turning that cog which is probably rotating magnets on a wheel inside the box that have alternating polarities. So when a positive comes by, it sucks the worm to the wood, and when a negative goes by it pushes it away. Its just not strong enough to throw the worm. Its just strong enough to push it into suspension.

Thats what I think at least.

Whats with that ridiculous bear tattoo on his shoulder, or is that a cat? Its so bad... lol.

theres an interview with the guy here. Anyone speak Bosnian?

I think thats tomato juice + beer and I'm sure its as gross as it sounds.

This one was humorous as well. What the fuck is he drinking?

Water colors in a new and improved way, new, at least to me.
Excellent find.


I think hes actually using oil paint, on water. Since oil does not mix with water he's able to manipulate it like that and it wont turn into a giant mix of colors. Thats my guess anyway.

edit - After watching a second video of him, I dont think that is water. It seems more viscous than water. As he moves his tools through the solution, there are no ripples or anything like you would see in water. I think its this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sizing

ahh, the joy of memorizing timing games. Looks like it could be fun. Most people would disagree, but you're talking to a guy that beat I Wanna Be The Guy - http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/
