I like PBS documentaries. I can’t recall if “The bat man of Mexico” was a NOVA episode or a one of (I checked, it was a Nature episode- https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/about-bat-man-mexico/25220/), but I’m pretty sure that’s where I learned that bit of useless trivia. He tracked the bats by making their poop glow!

I am completely useless for remembering people’s names, and barely hit and miss with dates, but useless information sticks OK.

How the World Map Looks Wildly Different Than You Think

Well, not really. If you're navigating using a compass, then the Mercator projection has the really neat trick of making the rhumb lines straight while keeping coasts recognisable. It's just not a good projection for general purpose uses (unlike the Waterman Butterfly).

Magic: Peter Marvey - Le velo

You see that guy walk away at 2:08 and back again about 3:27. I'd guess he is there to help assist the magician fold and unfold his legs into his white suit so that his legs become his chest while he pushes his butt back into that triangle behind him. The girls of course distract you from that guy and the magician's odd squirming... Still, live for the first time it is probably a neat trick.

There is a guy walking up behind the act and getting to the box.
Most are too busy looking at the smoking girls to notice.
When the girl walks behind with the unicycle she goes around back and comes around empty handed and during that time you can see " other" feet walking behind the box

The other "feet" show up again after the magician gets back together and the door closed to put himself back together

Printer hack LetsU print reams of stuff after toner "dies"

DonanFear says...

Neat trick. It seems the printer uses some kind of optical sensor to check the toner level.
Too bad most printers use an electronic chip in the cartridge that counts how much you've printed and just stop working after x number of pages or x mg of toner/ink, obviously the printer refuses to print anything if you just tape over the connectors on those.

The best advice for anyone looking for a new printer: find an old printer with replaceable print heads (for ink) or drum (laser). Printer technology hasn't advanced much in the last 10-15 years. Just make sure there are drivers available for it.

@Morganth: It's not that the printers have inadequate cooling and need the ink for cooling. Most inkjet printers work by heating tiny ink-filled tubes (there's usually over 100 in the print head), instantly vaporizing the ink, forming a bubble that shoots a tiny drop of ink out of the tube and then pulls more ink into the tube from the other side. If there's no ink to vaporize the tube could overheat or more probably whatever ink is left dries up and clogs up the print head. If you put a heatsink on the heating elements the printer just wouldn't work.

World's first true HDR video using DSLRs

youdiejoe says...

...I wonder if youdiejoe has anything insightful to say about this?

It's a fun first attempt, but in the end it just looks like poor HDR photography. I imagine that when the process does work it will be a single camera, single lens affair with the CMOS sensor being the one doing the neat tricks to make the HDR images.
