*doublepromote this is awesome, point it at a bucket of swirling water next and have it model ink droplet distribution

I wanted to wait till I had a couple cups of coffee in me and a clear, morning mind before reading that.

It's a good one. You're on the right track, man. Hope you and your paramour get the time to make a video out of that one.

By the way, you've inspired me to do the same with some of my work.

And thanks for listening to me when...I really needed a kindly ear...on what was, for me, a very dark night.

Cheers.

since i noticed your on here right now,at this moment.and also because you wont create a facebook (boooo).
here is one of my older but newly posted:
shattered mirrors

memories stir..
and begin to fall,
like droplets of rain..
upon my unprepared mind.
thundering..
cascading..
a cacophony on a tin roof,
the memories come.
icy and cold...
sharp,
like razor's caressing tender flesh,
viciously..
violently..
opening forgotten,
buried..
and long scarred over wounds.
memories of past..
indiscretions..
indifferences..
cruelties.
flooding the haunted halls of my mind.
rending the landscape of my soul.
exposing long forgotten..
guilts..
shames..
manipulations..
they come to mock me,
to taunt me with their derision,
and righteous fury.
naked and raw,
i am flayed to the bone,
by their admonitions..
and accusations.
they curse me..
condemn me..
as they eviscerate my tender sensibilities.
"how dare i forget"
is their mantra.
how could i have forgotten?
i remember..
i remember now..
i remember it all now..
and my heart weeps at the crushing weight of it all.

HANG ON PEOPLE - THEY CUT OUT MINUTES FROM THE VIDEO
It doesn't just go straight for the exit, it continually travels forward, canvasing every pathway - until it leaves. The "intelligence" is in its ability to exhaust all possible pathways with enough time. The droplet is propelled PH difference between back and front of the droplet.

Isn't that the same character from that RPG on the Atari 2600 - Adventure?


If it is then he'd better watch out for that fucking duck-dragon.

It's oil, so, kill it with fire?

That's fucking crazy!! Oil solving mazes faster than me... it's sorcery, I say!



Always kill it with fire... that is the rule!

I really have to disagree with the burn victim scene, that has propaganda all over it.

For starters, when someone is covered in blood do you really want them to touch you? There is a whole host of viruses that can be transmitted with open wounds. Given that the victim is acting a little odd they have no idea how he would react. Imagine a few droplets of blood going into your nose, eyes, mouth and you are left with a virus, or even getting on your clothing and even with proper care inadvertantly take in the blood. Combine that with the victim acting "odd" if drugs were suspected, needles might be used, hence the increased odds of the victim contracting a transmittable virus. So when the video emphasizes the responders did not want to touch the burn victim, when it shows a scene of the father mourning as the voice of the officers expressing their concern over the blood, it isn't so irrational to be worried about the state of the burn victim.

There was an emphasis in the video on the term "good shot" when the taser was employed implying that the officer took pride in the shot. The "good shot" term was used to describe whether or not the taser made proper contact with the burn victim in order to deliver the shock. This is further proven that both of the persons interviewed used that term independently to describe it. I don't think the taser would work as well with a "bad shot"

Also does the fact that he was on top of the responder's vehicle not say anything about his state of mind?

I feel that the earlier videos do have some claim to accuracy (we don't know all the facts) and quite a bit have made it onto the sift (I have to say the way they treated the female victim is horrendous), but I find the burn victim scene to be flat out insulting in its delivery.

You make me blush.

Just as water is a fluid composed of water particles and air is a fluid composed of different gases and vapors, sand is a fluid composed of solid particles of matter.


Not exactly. The physical principles that keep for instance water clumped into droplets and the ones at work in this video are very different. But it is a well-known phenomenon in physics that radically different microscopic mechanisms often give rise to similar macroscopic phenomena. Another example is the similarity between mountain ranges and the microscopic surface of certain minerals, regarding their fractal nature.

>> ^HenningKO:
Ah, so they're not falling through space... they are falling toward Earth as is the camera. Perhaps in a vacuum.
What I thought of immediately was the gravity of the sand particles themselves attracting each other, in the absence of any other force. Like, how planets form on a larger scale. But, nah, it looks like it's time-shifted and the attraction is happening way too fast for that.


They are not falling in a vacuum, but I understand now that the title may appear a bit misleading. Sorry about that.
