    Ax, that's just dumb and disrespectful, and I don't mean M Jackson.
    But I guess if you like it, go for it!

      If the mask is part of the outfit, I get it.

      Otherwise, it's just stupid. It was uploaded yesterday, ffs.

      Not my style, but I admire the talent.

        @George-K The mask is part of her brand; as far as I can tell, ever since her fist YouTube video, she’s always masked; quite often different masks for different videos.

        Compare to Peter Bence’s “Best It” cover. Bence also made a virtuosic, creative rearrangement, mainly for piano, but also uses other mechanical aids, including looping electronics. (I have linked to Bence’s cover before, so not repeating it here.)

          Look at that technique, so smooth, so matter-of-fact, so graceful, so efficient and economical!
          Lots of fine muscle control too subtle to be captured by the camera.

              The physics behind old school electric rice cooker design:

              Link to video

              How does the old school electric rice cooker know when to stop cooking the rice at just the right time? It has no thermostat, no fancy electronics, yet it works every time. I have been curious about that for a long time, though never tried to research it. This video answered the question for me.

                That was neat. I did not know the exact operation either.

                      Contrast between old master (famous since the Chairman Mao era) and a new talent (child of the Internet/streaming media age).

                      Same ancient piece, “Ambush from All Sides”(十面埋伏), a signature repertoire for the pipa, long a popular concert and competition workhorse.

                        @George-K if you’re looking for new classical orchestra works to listen to, give this a try.

                            Be sure to see the part where a liquid nitrogen cooled steel ball is pressed again the 2010 armor. Very dramatic ending!

                                Nice. I wonder how much of that was improvised on the spot.

                                I'll never understand people like that - they speak a different language than I do.

                                  There's a couple of jazz pianists I really enjoy listening to talking (and playing) about jazz on a podcast called 'You'll Hear It', on YouTube. There's quite a bit of chat, but some real golden nuggets in there, and they go some way to describing the language and the tricks and techniques. Quite a lot of it is totally beyond me, but I still like watching.

                                  I was only joking

                                    The technology improvement is interesting, but also sad.

                                    I am sure that there are weapon designers out there looking at super-cooled ammunition to use against armor.

                                    (BTW, they were lucky no one was injured or hurt)

                                      The Erodium Copy "robot."
                                      A very simple idea, all biodegradable, seems to have large potential.
                                      Many times the narration oversells the idea, try to overlook that.

                                        Watching this during a meeting (shhh) so had the video off. How is this an improvement over just dropping seeds?

                                          Go for it, I say. Go for it, lad. Not sure how it will work unless nice soft soil, but hey, maybe it will work better than nature with birds, rodents, etc.
