Wave Pendulum

Awesome Table Tennis Shot By Mattias Översjö

Shepppard says...

I may be wrong on this, but why would the other guy just take that much of a power shot?

He even crosses the halfway point of the table, leaving him literally stranded should that exact situation arise.

RT: NYT dumps WikiLeaks after cashing in on nobel cause

moopysnooze says...

If NY Times has any doubts about the Assange's motives they could have and should have expressed this early rather than after they have benefited from Wikileak's partnership for so long. No one forced them to partner with Wikileaks and they could have passed the baton on to someone else.

Going on about what Assange's "true" and secret motives are is so conspiratorial and pointless. Why waste your time wondering what he's really thinking (world domination or ruins??) or whether he's just a boy who happened to climb a tree that rained shit (this is how you describe information released). You could have doubts like this about anyone - it's the people that hide it the best that would scare me the most. You are never going to know until some solid evidence is provided by ... a whistleblower.

Let's focus on what can be seen and proven to have happened. Wikileaks had the guts to accept classified information and to bring it to the public. This has opened the eyes of many people and opened up a lot of debate. The clip of the innocent iraqis and journalists killed was horrifying but needed to be seen. I will thank Wikileaks even for just this one little clip.

If and when I see Wikileaks/Assange do something against my beliefs then I will stop supporting them.

To me, Wikileaks have allowed journalists to kick down thousands of strands of ropes from the top of the tree to where the rest of us on the ground can take hold and, if we wished to, climb a little higher so that we can begin to see exactly why or how it all happened as individuals and make our own minds up.

Scientific Experiment: Slapping the Posterior in Slow Motion

kceaton1 says...

>> ^arvana:

The half-life of the transverse waves propagated from that slap indicate a damping factor of: FIRM.


You said exactly what I was going to post! So, instead...

In this new video being created by our highly skilled graduates; the camera speed will be slightly slower at 1000 FPS @1920x1080 (or higher if intended for use with IMAX or a screen over two meters) with a secondary stream containing a duplicate, but separate feed set proportionately two-centimeters apart from the other feed. Then slightly zoomed out at around a 5.7% overall frame increase in size and a slight 2° shift from the vertical, counter-clockwise. Then combine the two feeds to one feed, except beforehand, polarize the frames (or frame frequencies) 90° from the other (relatively). Hand out polarized glasses--that of course have a film matched to the polarized frequency. Then increase the overall playback time, matching with the framerate speed, to give a new perceived 30 minute length (20 seconds is ridiculous).

Then some 1960's or 1970's music can be added in (the beat of the music must match the wave speed; some "human intercourse" period film pieces may have the required music) to further increase the relation of wave propagation seen in the video demonstration. This will help add to the overall immersion and enjoyment of the experience.

Then, we suggest the use of lubrication (Group 5, with a Viscosity of 800cSt is recommended) and then use some transformational waves (many options are available) at a decent amplitude and frequency. One traditional method used is caused by simple human mechanical kinetic manipulation (flexing muscle groups) in a rhythmic horizontal/vertical oppositional motion spread out over a chosen time span. Speed, duration, and intensity are decided by the user or a human/non-human counterpart. Typically, this will propagate a strand of flagellates into a D-glucose polysaccharide chains in a combined structure for simple discontinuation and cleanup; then quickly proceeding on to the web browser and watching the next "sift*".

If "flagellate" reaction is not noticed or possible for you, please follow the yellow strip on the floor. On your way out you may participate in our free clinical study looking for medical problems. You will need to put on a special garment for the study, and you will receive a complimentary lollipop! Do not be disturbed if this reaction is not noticed as it is a well known and documented myth created by the sub-species that is the focus of our demonstration video. Do not be disturbed if you think you look like as said sub-species.

Thank you for watching our dissertation on wave propagation.
We look forward to our next project on fluid dynamics!

jokes are easier to get if they're funny

>> ^ponceleon:

Jokes... you don't get them.
If you didn't notice, I was being sarcastic. I upvoted the video and found it quite funny. I was actually just trying to poke fun at it using the same brand of sarcasm that the video itself uses.
You fail at sarcasm. (and that is not meant sarcastically.... wait... maybe it is).

MOST games and movies have damsels in distress and male heroes rescuing them, just another way for the male public to feel big. Most strands of Feminism's aren't about female superiority by the way, but about equality, I feel the word itself has been tainted to be shuddered at.

This is a very typical "male victim" response. Maybe you should read things more carefully. Did I not say many guys online are great? How am I sexist for noting that I get harassed online for being a female? And of course you can make films about whatever you want...so it's just a coincidence that MOST films and games are men rescuing women, and not the opposite? I really don't understand the logic behind your argument. ALSO I didn't say any story with a damsel is sexist...all I was unhappy with was people criticizing this video for pointing out a truth about gaming story lines. I didn't even use the word sexist lol. Look who played that card. Anyways...yes I did say "most guys" only in relation to caring about these issues...because...well I've been alive for a while and that has been my experience. Correct me, but do you ever chill with your mates and discuss the struggle of the suffragettes, or unequal work pay...or how more young girls go missing around the world in one year than in all the 20th century wars combined? I doubt it.

>> ^yellowc:

So...if a director wants to specifically tell a story about a young boy rescuing a young girl they have to go "Oh wait, I better not tell this story, it's fucking sexist"? You see this is equally ludicrous, so is the notion that for every "boy saves girl" story, the world needs to make a "girl saves boy" story. When a director wants to tell a story of a female lead, they will do that (e.g. Bayonetta, Samsus, Heavy Rain), the rarity of this occurrence doesn't mean that "damsel in distress" stories are sexist, it means not enough people with a different story to tell aspire to be game directors.
It's also laughable (and sexist) to lump "most guys" in to a generic stereotypical group but thanks, it's great being just a "guy", I feel super equal right now, that must be better than regular equality.
