@jon-nyc cool video, lol!
@Horace thanks for the scene reminder, including Roth who passed the phone without even looking at it
The actor who played him was a famous acting coach who never acted much in big things. He was very well respected amongst big screen actors, and had trained many of them, but hadn't in fact walked the walk on the big screen. This remained his only big movie role, and to his credit he nailed it.

I met a guy who once bought a brick of gold - more just to show off than anything. But it was very decpetive in how heavy it was.
When he sold it back for money (after a few months maybe), it had lost a few grams of weight from sliding on the table, people handling it, etc. LOL

I brought a 100 ounce silver bar to work to show it to people because I thought it was cool, but I sensed people thought I was trying to show off. I work with a bunch of poor trash PhD scientists and engineers, so I guess they probably hadn't seen 2000 dollars all in the same place ever before. So I stopped showing it to people. You need to be an upper class high status type like me in order to appreciate the beauty separately from the monetary value.

I think India holds the record (555) for most people having world records.
It is a big thing there, and many of the records are quite goofy.

What's the statistics if you normalize by population (# of world record holders divided by population size)?

Probably India would still win. 555

His dancing-in-the-rain move at 0:57 was impressive.
I guess if you are confident in your grip strength, go for it!

He had plenty of leeway on the last car to dial in the landing. Note he hit the brakes to center himself at the crossing.

Maybe you can move on to Platinum
The warehouse retailer (COST) has started selling one-ounce platinum bars priced at $1,089.99 apiece, which is slightly higher than the metal's current value of roughly $1,000 per ounce on the commodity market. Costco's foray into selling gold bars started last year and has proven a huge success, with the company reporting that sales reached $100 million in 2023.

That silver bar is $3150 now. Doubled since I bought it. I'm thinking of cashing them in for a nice grand piano.

I guess there's a chance he grew up on a farm and has done that before. Lots of technique involved in that.
