DIY Rocketeer Building Self-Landing SpaceX Model Rockets
Ughh, make the video when the guy can land it. That's great that he got this far with a music degree, but he hasn't accomplished f*ck all yet! A few Caltech freshman could probably have one landing in a week.

No discussion of traveling wave or thorium reactors. There is new tech that uses fuel much more efficiently and produces less waste.

What If The Moon Exploded?
Well they're right in that the results will be unpredictable, so their predictions are probably off
I dunno about losing the seasons and the earth wobbling more; if the moon just vanished that seems unlikely. If it blew up, then that could cause wobble, but we'd have bigger problems in that case.
I've been enjoying SevenEves, Neal Stephenson's take on this scenario.
Why Is A Group Of Crows Called A “Murder”?
See this is why I keep coming back to Videosift, the comments are better than the videos half the time! Well done sir!
I like to think this (although scene would be better with more child murder)
but PBS says:
What’s a murder of crows?
A group of crows is called a “murder.” There are several different explanations for the origin of this term, mostly based on old folk tales and superstitions.
For instance, there is a folktale that crows will gather and decide the capital fate of another crow.
Many view the appearance of crows as an omen of death because ravens and crows are scavengers and are generally associated with dead bodies, battlefields, and cemeteries, and they’re thought to circle in large numbers above sites where animals or people are expected to soon die.
But the term “murder of crows” mostly reflects a time when groupings of many animals had colorful and poetic names.

Right, but why is a group of crows called a “murder”?

Every Frame A Painting - Coen Brothers - Shot | Reverse Shot
I've always wondered the same thing. What if they use a single camera, but both actors still run through the scene even though one of them is off camera? When the camera is over-the-shoulder, either the other actor is sitting there with the camera behind them, or it's a body double. I imagine it would be easier for the actors if they are both doing the whole scene even if the camera is not on them. If that's the case, that would explain the unscripted reactions - it might even make more sense since the offscreen actor might instinctively do things a little differently without the camera on them.
I was hoping this was going to answer a question I have asked for a long time but still don't have a clear answer. Is it common to have 2 cameras filming actors simultaneously during a shot/counter-shot scene in a standard Hollywood production, so it's recording their interactions in real time?
Or is it more likely done with one camera, with the actors filmed sequentially and responding to off-camera dialog as they speak their lines. And then the shot/counter-shot are strung together in editing.
Seems to me the one camera would be more logical, as otherwise the lighting resources themselves would have to be doubled and kept out of view. Also I don't ever remember seeing any pictures or footage from a movie set where they have 2 cameras and 2 sets of lights, etc.
The reason I keep asking is that on IMDB in the trivia section you always read some nonsense about somebody's onscreen reaction to some unscripted ad-libbed line being genuine.
Well if they aren't both in the same shot how could it be a genuine reaction if the shot/counter-shot are filmed with one camera at different times? And the dialog may be spoken and recorded hours apart?
Like this scene from the "Die Hard" trivia section:
Hart Bochner's line "Hans... Bubby!" was ad-libbed. Alan Rickman's quizzical reaction was genuine.
They weren't in the same shot, so how can his reaction be genuine when the line may have been ad-libbed several hours earlier or later. If it was ad-libbed at all.
It strikes me as stupid made-up shit that passes for trivia and knowledge on the Internet but wanted to get some opinions on this.
