What are the most devastating pandemics in human history?

bremnet says...

With ya. Was trying to figure if they were stacking the bodies like cord-wood or where they head to feet. Odd comparison. Now, by mass... that'd be interesting.

Interesting info, but whoever produced the video made some really questionable editorial decisions. Commas separated values over 1000, except for periods used in #1. What's with the "big stuff" in the background? How do the heights of various buildings compared to things like mountains and the size of Halley's comet relate to these mortality figures?

Just... weird. Good video though, in spite of that

Anderson Cooper Dismantles Rod Blagojevich

Love his closer: "... you're creating a whole new alternate universe of facts, and that may be big in politics today, but it's still, frankly, just bullshit." Have to go have a shower after listing to Rod to get the slime off.

Diversity and inclusion meeting ... at Michigan school

bremnet says...

Sorry, you lost me at "greatest country in the world", or at the very least your list of "despite it being..." is way, way too short. Greatest at or greatest for what? Bigots per capita? Most frequent demonstrations of unsubstantiated entitlement and negative IQ's?

It is the greatest country in the world DESPITE it being the home of some of the most disrespectful racist assholes in the world like edit:Thomas E Burtell of Saline Michigan. Sadly, that status is in serious jeopardy because of them. Edit: Fortunately even his own son is disgusted by him and disavowed and condemned his racist and bigoted comments. He identified himself, so I have no qualms about identifying him, but I won't post his address and phone number like others have.

I hope the incessant abuse and ostracism he receives from the community as a whole from this day forward force him to leave not just that school system but this great country...MAGA by getting the fuck out, douchebag.

What Actually Happens If You Get Coronavirus?

bremnet says...

And so...in the period from Oct 1 to Dec 11 2019, the CDC reported that est. 2.5 million people were infected, 29,000 hospitalized, and about 2,400 died. This is roughly 2x the rate of infections and deaths compared to the 2018 "season". So why are we so wound up about the coronavirus? Because it has a cool name?

There are a series of these vids on YT. When you get to the one that has the guy introduce himself as "Larry aka The Prototype", try not to puke on your keyboard. It's hard to have sympathy for a practicing douchebag.

Algorithm Removes Water From Underwater Pictures

bremnet says...

Not sure that I'd call it trivial, but from what one can gather, using the panel of known colors as a calibrant for correction during processing does seem like an obvious approach. I'm assuming that the newsworthiness of this is in the trick or complexity of the post-processing - removing scatter, haze, correcting the full color spectrum with multiple calibration points - it won't be a simple linear correction. I ain't no expert, but have spent oodles of time trying to color correct videos and stills from our scuba trips, and the *automatic* color correction in current software is still pretty poor IMO, relying often on a single color as the calibrant (so, a "pure" white region in the photo, a "pure" black region in the photo etc.). Manual adjustment of the photo color balance for UW vids and photos is on my list of "What Hell must be like".

I know it's not supposed to be THAT funny, but the ducks coming in hot at around 0:32 had me crying... not sure what she's feeding them, but are barn fowl prone to some form of addiction? (my beagle isn't even this hardcore when the dinner bell rings, and he's just a stomach with legs)
