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.

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:

They take a solid block of wood, then remove the wood that isn't the captive ball in sphere.

Just something that I never thought about, thus interesting for me to see how it can be done.

I've wondered about this in the past, but I've never had the thought that it would appear on YouTube. What a maroon - EVERYTHING is on YouTube.

Life size silicon doll buyer’s guide:
Link to videoSkeletal construction, from TPE (cheaper, less durable, less lifelike) to silicon (more expensive, more durable, more lifelike), details like wigs vs. “implanted” hair, variable firmness for different parts of the doll, etc. Brief discussion on buyers’ psychology. A rather comprehensive guide given the length of the video.
