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

        Celtic Rasputin on drugs … well, a different kind of drug, probably Adderall.

          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.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      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.

                                        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:
