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)

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.

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.

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.

One person singing two tones at the same time.
Interesting and impressive, but not exactly pleasant, rather weird. She demonstrates usage in a folk tune near the end, but I cannot yet imagine how to use that effectively in compositions.
