When Juggling Knives Goes Wrong!

spawnflagger says...

would be ironic if he was distracted by the knife jugglers...

I can't figure out what caused the cyclist to fall over. Was he intentionally swerving to trip that running lady? I have watched that bit over and over and I just can't get it to make any sense...

Red light encounter

AeroMechanical says...

Definitely. The guy was in a left-turn-only lane and cut into the right lane mid-intersection. On a motorcycle, in an eight lane intersection, that's just asking for it.

Yeah, the juggler was cool too. Whatever, get off my lawn.

"Red light encounter" could have meant a collision, but happily, it does not.

5 Fun Physics Phenomena

robbersdog49 says...

The cereal one is simple, they add iron to the cereal and iron is attracted to the metal.

What surprised me about this is that I'd expect food additives like this to be in some kind of soluble form, just invisibly a part of the food. But when they add iron they literally just add little bits of metal, tiny iron filings. If you put the cereal in a blender a whizz it up to a fine powder and put the magnet through the powder it will come out covered in tiny iron filings.

The cane one is simple too, the finger closest to the centre of mass will always have more of the weight on it, therefore friction is greater on that finger, so the other finger moves more, until it becomes closest to the centre of mass and so on. Each finger gradually moves toward the centre of mass until your fingers are touching. Neither finger can move past the centre of mass because at the point where it lines up with the centre of mass it would take all the weight and the other finger would have no friction at all to push the centre of mass past the other finger.

The phone is a bit of a funny one. It certainly is possible, it's just that it takes more skill to do it. He just hasn't practiced enough. I'm a juggler and just gave this a try. I got clean rotations once every twenty throws or so, which I'm quite pleased with for a first attempt. It feels like something I could learn to do perfectly if I gave it the time (I'm not going to).

The instability is to do with the amount of force required to rotate the phone in each axis. The difficult one is the one that requires the most force and creates the slowest rotation. This means it's easier to add an error in the force when creating the rotation, and the slower rotation means the spin is less stable. All this makes it much harder than spinning it any other way. Harder, but not as impossible as he makes out.

Gophers Kiss Cam Guy: Story Behind the Sign

MilkmanDan says...

"American sports have loads of delays and gaps":

The Durban Test match (cricket) between South Africa and England was to be played as a timeless Test match and some eleven days later it was still left drawn since England had to begin their two-day rail journey back to their ship at Cape Town.
It still remains the longest ever first-class match of ten days of actual play. The match was abondoned (sic) as a draw after 43 hours 16 minutes of actual play.
*(from here)*

...Somehow, I think that a kiss cam or some other entertainment (sure, why not a juggler too?) would be a very welcome addition in a match like that. Eleven days, so 264 hours, with 43+ hours of active game play. Better make it a long list of entertainment!

As a Englishman I'm used to just watching the sport in front of me and we don't resort to audience participation.
So what the hell is this? I know American sports have loads of delays and gaps but is this an accepted way of filling it up? I can think of a few reasons why you might not want to do this and this guy has brought up one of them.

Can't they just bring on a juggler or two?

Physics Defying Contact Juggling

How to Buy a Computer in 1996

VoodooV says...

have to admit, I like the juggler analogy to RAM

It's funny that you say times have changed though. The fundamentals really haven't changed. the types of RAM and the types of storage, and the types of processors have changed, but you still need RAM, you still need storage, you still need a processor and they still interact in fundamentally the same way.

What's depressing though is that the average person's response to trying to learn some of those fundamentals is still the same as this woman's reactions in 1996. I am so familiar with the same kind of facial expressions on my users as that woman gave.
