I'm not sure why she thinks it was 'f'ing stupid' to stop. Not likely that a rock was going to leap 100 yards or more horizontally all of a sudden. I would have stopped as well.

@TheGenk, when I record horizontally, it cuts off the top half of my face and muffles the sound. D: I've tried and it doesn't come out right. I'm recording with my phone, unfortunately.

@lurgee Thank you for posting this! I'm sorry I missed it until now!!

@ant Thank you!

Supposedly, back in the day, real sailors used to slide down the backstays (vertical ropes behind the shrounds, without ratlines (horizontal steps)). Saved time.

I never did and still don't understand why they say "her form matches that of Greg" even while overlaying together video both of their throws where she is obviously throwing vertical-stance-and-hips-square and the guy throws horizontal-stance-and-hips-twisted.

Yes, of course females can throw with great power and accuracy, and there's no disputing that, but aside from what happens to the ball after it's released, physiologically it does seem they will always tend to throw with different form than males.

I work in a CNC machine shop programming lathes. That isn't aluminum they are machining. It's definitely steel, probably 4340.

Carbide inserts are more than capable of cutting metal without coolant. Well formed chips absorb and carry most of the heat away. You start to run into problems with gummy materials (like aluminum) that form a built up edge on the cutter. In this case high pressure coolant can be used to help break the long stringy chips and keep them from sticking to the insert.

One case where using coolant can be detrimental to tool life is when machining a part with an interrupted cut. Think of sliding your finger over a surface with a bunch of holes in it. Your finger switches back and forth between making contact with the surface and gliding over empty space. In the machining world, this motion would cause abrupt transient temperature changes, and coolant can sometimes exacerbate the problem and cause the carbide insert to crack or chip.

(pedantry) I would hesitate to call that machine a mill. You can see the machine switching freely between rotating the part to provide the cutting force (turning) to rotating the tool (milling). It's more akin to a horizontal turning center with a milling spindle built in as well. Pretty awesome stuff! (/pedantry)

I love the EIA tag, but not for the usual Darwin Awards type reasons. I wonder if this is an example of adaptation. I'll have to look it up, but my guess is that pigeons (or any bird for that matter) can't maintain 90km/h in a horizontal line for any extended amount of time. I'm thinking that they are learning how to draft cars on the highway.

It would be awesome if it confers some adaptive advantage and it starts catching on so that I can go on a road trip with a flock of birds in tow in a flying V formation.

Doritos...

3" horizontal...

Nerd like you...

Is your plug finally over?


Teehee. Quite enjoyed that.

I wonder if it's just a sliver from the original vertical image, ie if it's just cropped.. If so, you can do that afterwards.

It does, in the sense that when you see someone reversing the whole way to the store or driving the car likes it's suppose to be driven.. It's facepalm worth, not the end of the world zombie apocalypse. The reason we still try to educate is that almost all actions that humans do, involve horizontal movement across the screen, things move sideways, not up and down. It's a pain to watch, effing hard to follow and there's no safety margins in the most important direction that would allow movement to happen on screen.. So the end result is trying to watch thru a keyhole and someone else is holding you head. If the target is stationary, you don't see vertical video syndrome compulsory complaints.

In this case, it is. Lift a 1 kg(mass) on earth 2 metres and drop it. If will hit the earth with a force of 9.8 Newtons. (F=m x a) That's its weight though we tend to use the kg instead of Newtons to express weight. To lift that mass, you would have to exert 9.8 newtons of force.

On the moon where acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 that of earth, that 1 kg mass would only weigh about 1.8 (9.8/6) Newtons. So it would take correspondingly less force to lift it.

So our astronaut should be able to easily push himself upright in theory.

The real reason he can't do it probably has more to do with the design of the suit (top heavy, not very flexible) and the loosely packed surface composition of the moon. Like trying to right yourself while wearing an inflatable sumo outfit in a McDonald's ballpit.

The high jump answer... when a high jumper clears 7 feet he is really just lifting his centre of gravity about 3-4 feet. He just twists his body horizontal to get his legs and feet over.

On the moon then, he would only lift his CofG about 18-24 feet (plus say 3 feet for his legs). So his record jump would be less impressive than you might intuitively think.

I would argue that some things are better in portrait view, rather than landscape. For example, filming yourself receiving BJ is ALWAYS better when you film the vertical. Unless the person filming it has a small penis, then I understand the desire for always horizontal.

Cat owner needs Horizon app.

I remember when the limited horizontal viewing angle on LCDs used to be advertised as a "privacy filter."

Gotta love the marketing department. Useful idea though. I like the idea that I could be sitting at my computer with everyone else looking at me like I'm crazy.

edit: Oh, also: "They Live" anyone. It would be great if you could have a screen that displayed one thing at all sorts of polarities, and then another through the correct filter. Spreadsheet for everyone else, porn for me.

I'd like to know more about the boat. No horizontal fins, how's he controlling depth? Looks a lot of fun though, and I like the propulsion with a tail rather than a prop.

Wow... I would have had a bit of a hard time largely due to my car's power steering not working and the oddly tight parking of cars along the horizontal (not to mention sloppy parking by the white car), but even so... back up with a small left turn, so you are basically behind the white car and in the same direction as it, hard left out, probably have to small right reverse to get lined up with the exit, but smooth sailing from there... Heck, even his original plan was going fine until the 55 second mark when he decides to cut forward right, keep it going left bro, then back right and you are out...

The one I would have trouble with is the big grey station wagon with the white Mercedes van behind him. He doesn't have nearly as much wiggle room, and even he seemed to start his turn the wrong way, unless he was going to back down the exit from there (hard to tell what is past the left of the screen).

Yes it is like a horizontal elevator. I lived near the top of a high-rise for the past several years until recently. One of the worst things about living there was people holding the elevator door open during the trip down. It's so inconsiderate and self-centered. Considering you can let the doors close and just call another elevator that will be there within seconds.

Second most annoying thing is people who plant themselves directly in front of the elevator doors, ESPECIALLY if they're standing with their dog. Some people can't grasp the logic that you let people off the elevator before getting on.
