The physics behind old school electric rice cooker design:
Link to videoHow 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.

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.

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

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)

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?

I have always been curious about how one manufactures those "a solid object inside a solid frame" trinkets where it appears that the solid object inside should have been impossible to fit inside the frame. Now that I have watched this video ...
Link to video... I am still not sure how such trinkets are made. :man-shrugging:
