Pretty much only a very very complicated way (or stupid way...) of explaining how a Kalman filter works

#1 #2 #6, noooo nooo nooo using a 50 lbs (~25kg) sandbag, will recoil a lot more than a lets say 75kg person!

Go on youtube and check out hunting videos, what happens when you shot a small deer with a 7.62mm hunting rifle? Do they get knocked to the ground? NO, either they just collapse straight down or they try to run away.

#4, #5, if you are anywhere near ground zero, obviously it's not going to help you.

But if you are some what far away, duck and cover would make sure you don't get hit by glass and stuff like that. Look at the Chelyabinsk meteor, quite a lot of people got their face full of glass from the shockwave...

The statement from Darwin is quite similar to Einsteins view on the cosmological constant long ago.

+4 8. nemmie commented 11 years ago on video Guitar String Vibrations

Same effect as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQDjJRYmeWg

The camera is 'sampling' (taking picture...) too slow, which makes it look like the string is almost stationary.

+7 9. nemmie commented 11 years ago on video Chinese Farmer Builds His Own Wind-powered E-car

#6 Well remove the turbine in front and it would be a better car.

It's basic physics, that wind turbine increases the drag ( = energy consumption) more than what you gain at the generator in terms of energy.

sux2bu, what is the definition of a "violent" crime? Can you be sure that the definition is the same everywhere? Doubt it.. Can you be sure that all crimes are reported? Doubt it..

Now if we look at something that we CLEARLY can measure, gun related homicides, US is of the charts compared to all civilized countries. (http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/27/2/214.full.pdf)

Same thing goes if we compare intentional homicide rate.

Strange isn't it?

+1 23. nemmie commented 13 years ago on video Very deep hole ...

#10, #4, well not really, the hole is so deep you must compensate for the speed of sound for the impact from the bottom of the hole.

I was lazy and used matlab and got 534 meters (used total of 12 secs between drop and impact).

#3 With that kind of reasoning, who pays you to go on snotr?? and for what benefit?

They of course either have jobs on the side (and do that for pure fun/adrenaline) or have good sponsors.

Either way, neat video :)

#1 I think some say this is the way we evolved out of the seas actually :P

By some fish evolving lungs to use while moving from a pond that was drying up to a bigger body of water.

And somewhere along the line they started to stay more and more on land, and eventually all the time :)

That cooling tower was probably hooked up to a nuclear reactor producing plutonium for nuclear weapons.

one thing that puzzles me is why he can restart the engine and that they keep running for about 10 secs, feels like a really wiered problem...

I think it's fake. Around 3:30, would really a the cameraman stand right in the line of fire while he is shoting? Nobody would be THAT stupid!
