Getting The Perfect Photo
had to re-watch this 3 times to get the joke.
afterwards I could hear Beavis & Butt-head laughing in my head.
Jain - Dynabeat
I thought Zanaka was a very good album.
I will have to check out her new one "The Fool".
This video feels like a Sony commercial, but it's rare that I judge any musician by their videos...
Man Rips Up His Cash Over Seat Belt Ticket
Maybe it's like a parking ticket I got once - $13 ticket (max regulated by statute) plus $58 in "processing fees" (not regulated)
The most surprising thing about this video was that the fine was $10.
Man With The Smallest Hands - Guinness World Records
Just checked Guinness website - the record is for age 18 or over. Afshin was 20 at the time.
WTF?!? I’ve seen babies with smaller hands. They didn’t say he had the smallest FULL GROWN hands.
What has happened to Guinness?
VLDL: A fool-proof method to fix a computer
In my experience, shit-talking a computer is usually the cause of the failure, not a fix. They have thin skin and are emotionally frail - do not take well to screaming and slurs. You have to be gentle and empathetic, while stern, to get them to cooperate once again.
Best Things About Being Blind
I think it's for when a sighted driver (family, friend, etc) drives them somewhere, they can park closer to the door. Probably they don't issue handicapped license plates to blind people, but rather just the hang-tags you put on rearview mirror.
Um….can anyone explain why they issue blind people handicapped parking stickers?
Wes Andersons trailer for ASTEROID CITY
I guess Bill Murray was busy (with all the sexual assault allegations)
AND Tom Hanks. I like Tom Hanks too.
Possessed By Jazz Demons
That's the Blasianest thing I've ever seen.
Artificial Intelligence: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Yeah, I was going to sign up as well, but stopped because of this. They don't accept VOIP either, so my Google Voice # didn't work.
I hate its OpenAI account's phone # req.
Breaking Bad Kart
fucking blue shells...
Newtboy Achieved Galaxy! (Sift Talk Post)
congrats!
MIT Toroidal Propellers
now that episode of Black Mirror won't be as scary when it comes true in real life...
How A Brick & Rock Battery Is Changing Energy Storage
yeah, since efficiency is usually a measure of how much energy is lost to heat, should be 0% vs 100%... but, marketing.
I also doubt they are using aerogel or cryostats insulation to surround hot bricks. (or maybe that's why 1 container costs $9M?)
Matt (and team) from Undecided almost never approach their videos with a critical eye. Many startups' claims can be debunked with high school physics, but they just present everything as-is and with good production value. I consider their channel more entertainment than education, but still interesting to see some of the ideas out there.
Ok. I like the concept….thermal mass as short term heat storage/release is a well established science.
Sadly calling bullshit when they claim converting electricity to heat is 100% efficient. Nothing is 100% efficient.
They also claim 98% efficiency “pulling the heat back out”…unbelievably high.
Noticeably missing were heat loss rates, both for capture and storage over time…both expected to be extremely high at temperatures of 1500C.
The second system boasting 80% efficiency (but why burning wood?) is more realistic, but the only 3% heat loss per day at 500C temperatures claim is not. No insulation I’ve ever heard of is that efficient.
Recycling industrial manufacturing heat seems smart, but I think they need to be honest up front about the real world expectations and uses. If it could cut the energy needed to bake limestone or melt steel in half, that’s great…please don’t imply it could cut it by anything approaching 97%. That makes me not trust it at all.

Speed Bag Master
sounds like an airplane with engine problems trying to start.
