22 Problems Solved in 2022

I've personally seen the GoGoRo electric scooters mentioned #15 - it's a neat idea, and the battery-swap "kiosks" are conveniently located and fast/easy to use.
It's a good solution for any country that already has a large scooter infrastructure (like Taiwan), but don't think it would ever get adopted in USA.

Why the World’s Biggest Aquarium is Being Built in Secret

I've been to Ferrari World (on that same island) - it was less of a theme park, and more of a Ferrari museum which happened to have a rollercoaster.
The Emiratis like to compete with each other - this new Sea World will be much larger than the aquarium inside the Dubai Mall.

Parallel Axis Tripteron Concept

reminds me of Delta 3D printers. Quite genius, but seems the arms/legs/elbows of this might collide with the working surface, although the "platform" could just be made taller to compensate. Won't want it to be too heavy though, as it would lose speed.

Qatar World Cup: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

1 small point of correction - the workers are on break between 10am-3pm in the summer, which is when you see those >50C temperatures. They worked all through the night, and you can't pour concrete in the day because it's too hot and dries too quickly.
An exceptional (i.e. not the norm) construction company was one that paid it's workers what was promised, and on time. All local companies had to be 51% owned by Qataris, not sure if that changed as part of their 2018 reforms.

What if Akira Was Animated At 60 Frames Per Second

I think it looks worse. Part of "cinematic" experience is the traditional 24fps of films. Many TVs have a setting (motion interpolation - which seems to be ON by default nowadays) that creates a "soap opera effect", and I personally hate it. Some friends like it though, so everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Looks like several movies were released in high frame rate, but I remember The Hobbit (2012)'s 48fps actually caused some movie-goers to vomit.

Dad Builds Halloween Candy Guarding Monsdoor

spawnflagger says...

some questions... 1) why can't the door open? 2) how does he give out candy through the door?

I've hung 2 doors as part of a DIY project last year, 1 was standard width door kit that came with a frame (still have to trim the bottom to get correct height), other door was full custom. Both were a PITA for their own reasons. I don't think such a "halloween door" kit will ever be commercially sold.
