Time Lapse - 57 Story Skyscraper Built in Just 19 Days

Sagemind says...

"Constructed" may also be a misnomer..., The way I see it, it may have been "Assembled" in 19 days, but the building had to start long before that, as construction began off-site with all the panels and parts being engineered so that they could be assembled on-site.

No mention of the length of time for that process.
Pretty sure everything wasn't manufactured on site.
I see a very large meccano/lego set being assembled.

Timber-Carrying Blimp - Horrible Crash

Sagemind says...

Wait... Did he say $40 Million Airship?
$40M for a balloon, some aluminum toothpicks and 4 helicopters from the junkyard?

And they couldn't bother to think through making it structurally sound?

There is no excuse for a project this expensive to not have some proper design put into the Meccano-set they used to create the under-body with! Common, every one of us could see how flimsy that thing was from the start!

Will a Lava Lamp Work on Jupiter

therealblankman says...

I'm not at all convinced that what we are seeing here are the convection currents that normally drive a lava lamp, rather I think it more likely that we're seeing eddy currents created by a badly balanced centrifuge which results in uneven acceleration inside the lava lamp bottle.

Still, huge upvote for making a Meccano centrifuge in the dining room.
