Vote While It Counts

spawnflagger says...

my favorite was the Arizona "recount" where Cyber Ninjas tallied 99 additional votes for Biden and 261 fewer votes for Trump than previously counted...

some other "findings" in their report also debunked:

Why is it so hard to believe that people who were going to vote for Trump would listen to what he was preaching for weeks and months beforehand, and go vote in-person on the day; whereas people who were going to vote for Biden believed COVID-19 was actually real and more likely to use mail-in voting because it's safer and more convenient?

1:1 -Forstner Bit = round wooden sticks

spawnflagger says...

title should be "makeshift lathe jig"
Since he drilled all the way through the wood, there's nothing in this build that required forstner bits (which are for making flat-bottom holes only partially through wood).
still cool though.

Caught in the middle of a rock fall

spawnflagger says...

you'd think with such a high incident rate, they would come up with a safer route/solution? even a large metal shield they could crawl under seems like a no-brainer. like a turtle shell - could tie it to that rope and send it back over to the next climber.

maybe the local emergency-helicopter-pilot economy depends on these "thrill seekers" ?

How one NASA image tells dozens of stories

spawnflagger says...

interesting video, but many of his same examples were in this 2012 NASA video: https://youtu.be/Q3YYwIsMHzw

Also, not to detract it's usefulness (and cool factor), but many people seeing this photo think that's how the Earth actually looks at night - it isn't. That composite uses satellite data from Suomi NPP's VIIRS sensor, which can detect much dimmer light than the human eye, and part of the compositing process was to normalize brightness of individual pixels (so dim lights get brighter, and bright lights don't washout adjacent pixels). More details here:

Even some cool night-time videos from ISS (example: https://youtu.be/FG0fTKAqZ5g ) are made using still photos with long exposure time (1+ seconds) See FAQ.

This did lead me to a live webcam from ISS that I didn't know existed: https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/ESRS/HDEV/

Pipe Lining - the step-by-step process - Part II

spawnflagger says...

what's the max length of the liner? seems like it all had to fit inside that pressure vessel which turns it inside-out upon inflation...

Also, their video example showed a tee that was essentially sealed - what do you do for those? or what about elbows?

Please Clean Up Your Dog Poop

spawnflagger says...

This guy is a hero. I hate running into dog poop while cutting my grass. Yes, I know the difference between deer poop and dog poop, and no, I don't want "free fertilizer".
But I don't have time to a) look at video recordings of every dog walker, and b) wait near my front porch for 2 days with a bullhorn.
anyhow, she'll probably sue him for mental anguish and distress.

YouTuber tracking down guy who stole his stuff

spawnflagger says...

this video already has 8M views - this youtuber kid is likely a millionaire, so him offering $1400 back is smart- just to remove the chance of some hater backlash "millionaire asking for $1400". Since the thief knew the kid and seen his videos, probably his mindset was "fuck this rich kid, he can buy more", and the remorse only came after he got caught. Glad he was caught. Sad that this youtuber felt he had to move 1 month after finding new place. Hope he doesn't ever move to L.A. like other rich youtubers.
