noims says...

Yes, you've just hit on Noims' first two Laws of Aeronautics:
1) If you see a video of something flying and there's no audio, the thing is extremely loud.

2) If it's small, self-contained, and not super-light, it has an extremely short flight time.

Nice dramatic music.

The thing was way too loud for recreational use. [...]

The 45 minute running time is very optimistic. [...]

Uma Thurman's Car Crash on set of "Kill Bill"

eric3579 says...

From NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/03/opinion/sunday/this-is-why-uma-thurman-is-angry.html?referer=https://t.co/3KI4YYryAt?amp=1

In the famous scene where she’s driving the blue convertible to kill Bill — the same one she put on Instagram on Thanksgiving — she was asked to do the driving herself.

But she had been led to believe by a teamster, she says, that the car, which had been reconfigured from a stick shift to an automatic, might not be working that well.

She says she insisted that she didn’t feel comfortable operating the car and would prefer a stunt person to do it. Producers say they do not recall her objecting.

“Quentin came in my trailer and didn’t like to hear no, like any director,” she says. “He was furious because I’d cost them a lot of time. But I was scared. He said: ‘I promise you the car is fine. It’s a straight piece of road.’” He persuaded her to do it, and instructed: “ ‘Hit 40 miles per hour or your hair won’t blow the right way and I’ll make you do it again.’ But that was a deathbox that I was in. The seat wasn’t screwed down properly. It was a sand road and it was not a straight road.” (Tarantino did not respond to requests for comment.)

Thurman then shows me the footage that she says has taken her 15 years to get. “Solving my own Nancy Drew mystery,” she says.

It’s from the point of view of a camera mounted to the back of the Karmann Ghia. It’s frightening to watch Thurman wrestle with the car, as it drifts off the road and smashes into a palm tree, her contorted torso heaving helplessly until crew members appear in the frame to pull her out of the wreckage. Tarantino leans in and Thurman flashes a relieved smile when she realizes that she can briefly stand.

Uma Thurman said she didn't want to drive this car. She said she had been warned that there were issues with it. She felt she had to do it anyway. It took her some 15 years to get footage of the crash. (Note: There is no audio.)
“The steering wheel was at my belly and my legs were jammed under me,” she says. “I felt this searing pain and thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m never going to walk again,’” she says. “When I came back from the hospital in a neck brace with my knees damaged and a large massive egg on my head and a concussion, I wanted to see the car and I was very upset. Quentin and I had an enormous fight, and I accused him of trying to kill me. And he was very angry at that, I guess understandably, because he didn’t feel he had tried to kill me.”

Even though their marriage was spiraling apart, Hawke immediately left the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky to fly to his wife’s side.

“I approached Quentin in very serious terms and told him that he had let Uma down as a director and as a friend,” he told me. He said he told Tarantino, “Hey, man, she is a great actress, not a stunt driver, and you know that.” Hawke added that the director “was very upset with himself and asked for my forgiveness.”

Two weeks after the crash, after trying to see the car and footage of the incident, she had her lawyer send a letter to Miramax, summarizing the event and reserving the right to sue.

Miramax offered to show her the footage if she signed a document “releasing them of any consequences of my future pain and suffering,” she says. She didn’t.

Self Defense?

newtboy says...

Ahhh, that's what you meant.
I submit that because you might not fear in one situation doesn't mean that, for someone less able or more cautious, fear isn't justified.
There are many legal justifications for homicide. Self defense is the most often used, but is far from the only justification. Enforcing a proper citizen's arrest for instance may use any force needed, including deadly force, to affect the arrest...but you better be ready to prove it was needed.

In this case, he used force to effectively stop a continuous attack and stopped the instant the attack was neutralized, and not even deadly force. I don't see why that's wrong, one hit for two, he just hits harder, a chance you take when hitting much larger strangers, no? Had she scratched his eye with her next attack, she may have ended his career.

Granted, with no audio, it's one person's word against another's as to what may have been said, but didn't she claim he attacked her unprovoked before the video surfaced? That's why I used the qualifier "allegedly", I can't tell for myself. It's pretty clear to me that she was instigating while he was walking away, though.

@newtboy I have tried to explain that I like living at home, not in prison, so yes, in a situation in which I did not genuinely fear grave bodily harm I would try to avoid a disproportionately violent response. That's what the law requires. It would not matter whether the irritant in question were male, female, or indeterminate.

No one is ever "legally justified in killing" someone else, unless perhaps they are an executioner. Deadly force in self defense is sometimes allowed in order to stop an attack, but must cease as soon as the threat is neutralized.

Racist taunts have been alleged, so have homophobic taunts on the other side. It's hard to say if anyone is telling the truth.

Classic DOS games roundup, circa 1995

ant says...

Ah yeah. I remember qtest86 in a small computer lab on a Linux desktop machine with no audio. Haha. It was cool! I think I was a sophomore back then. Also, I remember QuakeWorld and playable on crappy dial-up modems on crappy GTE phone lines (could never get full speeds too).

I started college the year after. Lost a good deal of my freshman year to Quake. Oh boy, I miss those days. Only one fps that people played, and it was amazing.

Not today death: Old man narrowly avoids being hit by train

Janus says...

Yeah, not seeing any flashing lights, dropdown barriers, or anything to indicate a train is coming, other than the train itself of course. There's no audio, so I wonder if the train driver was blasting his horn as he should be coming up to a crossing?

Bad/Smooth Criminal Piano Mash-up With Exceptional Skill

iaui says...

Well, what we see is very close to what we hear. While I agree that there's probably no audio that he played in the video take a lot of the movements line up precisely and it's clear that he is indeed the guy who played the actual audio track.

Keep in mind this is a rehearsal run, after all.

mxxcon said:

Misleading. What you see is not what you hear.
The sound is in stereo and there's no way the way it was recorded to have come out that way. Furthermore, music does not match up with his actions. And finally, you can hear more than just piano.

This kid skillful, yes. But what we here are theatrics and not his real playing.

how to make a hank (hang?) from propane tanks

artician says...

I want a hang so badly. I would pay full price for it gladly. These are the most beautiful modern instruments I've ever heard.
That said, I've explored a number of the "propane hang" options, and they sound.... interesting. But honestly, and I'm absolutely no audio-snob or musical connoisseur, but they're not nearly an inkling as magical as the real deal.
Someone buy me a hang! Please!

Cat Fart for Intellectuals

EvilDeathBee says...

When my cat farts, there's no audio warning. The most warning I've ever gotten was she jumped off my desk and ran to an open window. At the time it seemed like an odd thing to do, then it hit me and nearly killed me
