0 1. SquidCap commented 9 years ago on video Nissan GT-R Nismo Horror Crash Nordschleife

The moment i saw it was Flugplatz in Nordsleife, i knew it's gonna be bad. It is one the most dangerous turns in the world, you go flat out, neutral throttle at the peak until it lands and jiggles a bit before you are going to a right hander flat out (depending on the car of course). The exit of this turn is planned before the hump, your faith is fixed on that path..

What you don't do is accelerate over the hump as it lifts your front, you keep it neutral or slow just a tad by lifting. The usual flugplatz crash is still a bit further away: after right hander you drift outside quite safely and often can escape the barriers and rejoin the race, this is quite rare.

It comes with USB_C type port, which in itself is very much welcomed thing.. But.. it also doubles as power input.. Which is moronic. The decision is because of thickness. Personally, Apple fanboys deserve this and because apple adopted the C-Port, it made other manufacturers to offer it too. So fanboys get to carry an external adapter with them and we get the benefits. Must feel great to have the thinnest laptop and that bulky adapter that defeats the thinness of it..

Except that these events are possible only by dumping huge loads of new fish every summer. It is equivalent of dragging a net thru the lake, it is near catastrophic event to the lake ecosystem. Try finding anything more than 2 years old in there.. Stupid stupid stupid.

+1 5. SquidCap commented 9 years ago on video Chain reaction

In the first "chainreaction" full row goes all at once.. Makes me think they rigged that one.. It's a commercial, they HAVE to get it working predictably, with enough balls going in to air that will ensure a chainreaction is sustained long enough.. Compared to other videos using same concept, it start slower until you get enough balls in the air and then the whole thing ends really quickly.. Rigging one row to get enough balls to start it makes sure it is more spectacular, dramatic.

#1 pakkohan se on juhlat taas järjestää.

To those who don't know, when you see that "torilla tavataan" (meet you in the town square) it refers to the extraordinary situation when Finland wins ice hockey championship, the country goes crazy, impromptu parades are (un)organized (in my town of only 35000 people and the progression was several hundreds meters long in both times it has happened..) and when the team returns home there has been a large party in the Senaatintori in Helsinki. For a country that is so reserved, having such behavior is just unheard off.

So we tend to use that line when ever Finland is mentioned in tubes, expect it to happen at some point... It's almost so predictable that you can call it a internet law: If the video has anything to do with Finland, someone at some point will put that line in the comments. :)

+2 7. SquidCap commented 9 years ago on video Guys Stop Douchebags From Driving on The Sidewalk

First thought it was odd that women acted so hostile but then remembered that it is studied behavior; males actually are much more likely to back out from confrontation, they have flight response as first instinct where as women have fight response to threats.. I know, seems backwards, i just read about it few days ago. Of course it's just statistical and the individual responses vary too much to say that it's a "rule". It is observed behavior in pack animals too, males do form protective barriers but the goal is to lead the herd to safety, not to fight. Where as females tend to attack aggressively to protect their offspring. Oh, now i remember where i read it, it was an article about couples therapy and how different male and females tend to act (again, the response vary too much for each individual to say definitely that human females or males act always in certain way, culture, upbringing, individual hormone levels influence more)

I think it's great that we can be equal and different. Makes us stronger as a whole.

0 11. SquidCap commented 9 years ago on video How a machete is born in 12 minutes

#9 That's is the point of machete, it's thin and tall blade. Thick blades gets stuck in the undergrowth, clearing of them is the purpose of the tool. I just might make one, that's about my level of craftmans ship. I've done one knife from saw blade, the metal is not really perfect but adequate and there is plenty of it for free. Only problem really is to find a thick one. Sawmills are one good place to get the real thick ones.

You can toughen the metal up a bit, which is a surprise that he didn't heat treat the edge. Everything else in machete needs to be flexible so it can withstand the repeated chopping blows, it's purpose is to be "semi-axe" (sorry, don't know the word in english..). Wood dulls a saw blade too fast and one that's been ruined by plasma dulls even faster, saw has teeths, blades have an edge, different requirements.. With careful heat treatment, it makes medium quality blades; good for show, not really for work unless you carry a sharpening stone with you at all times

Tip: if you want a lot of small breaks, use softer steel, gives you plenty of sitting around and sharpening, perfect for zen moments in the woods.. Just you and some "wood that needs to be cut", it is quite close to nirvana if you ask me.. If it wasn't with those damn mosquitoes, that is ;)

+1 20. SquidCap commented 9 years ago on video A lift at an university broke down, trapping 9 drunk people

When i was a bouncer in a nightclub on a third floor, one night 6 pretty freaking fat and tall (read: huge in every direction) people crammed in a three person lift. Needless to say the lift struggled and finally gave up about a meter before the level.. It tooks us about 15 minutes to get them out. But since it was a night club, the drunken customers outside started to mock them thru the door. They really started to get heated inside, they couldn't move and getting angry by the second. Once i opened the doors, the men just lunched out and immediately started manhandling me. Took a well placed words and calm voice to point to the fact that i worked there and was the one getting them out..

I could imagine how it feels. I had pretty grim experience on getting stuck in a lift.. It was a billiard hall, on fourth floor. The lift was oddity, one of those old ones that have the sliding metal "scissor" door. But that was just a start.. The lift had two buttons: 1st floor and 4th floor.. That is because it was just a concrete shaft, no doors in between. And of course the downstairs door was broken, you could open it any time but safety mechanism would then stop the elevator. Took us 20 minutes to convince someone to shut it down again. It was deliberately opened. Claustrophobia was freaking hard to keep in control: nothing but concrete around us, no way out. Usually when you get stuck, you still have a door right in front of you. There were four of us and each got panicked at some point and the rest calmed the person down. But the worst was when people heard us and refused to shut the door. I could've killed them, easily. In the end the personnel was alarmed, finally and they handled the situation.

#11 and #12 Clear case. People who commit suicide in that method should be buried in unmarked grave. They don't deserve to be remembered in anyway, it destroys two lives at worst, at minimum causes terrible lifelong trauma for the lorry driver. If you wanna go, do it yourself you big pussy cause that's what it is: fear of taking your own life so it's easier if you sort of "drift" in to it, make others do it for you. Like running towards cops with a toygun forcing them to end your life. I'm not totally against suicide, it's your life and you are free to do what you want. But we are also free to do what we want after that. If it means we will despise your actions forever, then that's our freedom.

It is no feat to put dozens of barrels and claim it has incredible firerate when the reloading is done by human. It does 36 rounds at once, not unlike a shotgun would. Then it needs a slow manual reload. You can't also call this repetitive fire gun. The later models did incorporate stacked ammo; multiple projectiles inside one barrel. But true repetitive gun uses same barrel/barrels to fire multiple projectiles in repetition; it also means the guns has to retrieve and position the new projectile inside the barrel. Minigun is fast. Metal storm is incredibly slow.

+4 33. SquidCap commented 10 years ago on video Formula E 2014 Beijing Finish Heidfeld Prost Crash.

#7 because just a little bit more rotation and few degree different trajectory, poor old Nick would've had his head hit on the fence.. With the full weight of the car traveling at still pretty good speed compressing on it, leading to his head being pushed in to his spine.... No amount of cockpit protection will protect your head being hit directly from above as that usually never happens.. Check the moment of impact, when the car hits the corner of the fence and imagine what it does to a human.

This was much closer call than most realize and most likely will influence track design all over the world. The so called sausage curbs were under criticism before and this shows what may happen.

I do track design for simulators for living and i've done hundreds of simulated crash tests on sausage curbs: my conclusion was that they are not safe and very often they will flip the car over when approached in a side ways skid. So much so that i had to redesign the collision meshes separately from visual as the impact was just too unpredictable.

It's just logic, if car has x amount of ride height, the curbs can only be less than x in height... If a moving solid object is going to hit stationary solid object, one of the solids has to move vertically: that is the car going airborne. There is not enough crumble zones to dissipate all the energy, the car is going to fly. Going sideways is just worse as the car rolls over very easily (YAW and Pitch require a lot more energy..) thus making the rare situation of something hitting the driver from "above" much more common.

#3 You obviously didn't see the race (it could still be in youtube..). The race was fantastic, you didn't miss sounds at all. All they lack is high end torque but as far as car racing goes: it is proper racing.

+3 34. SquidCap commented 10 years ago on video Unblocking a toilet with what?

Won't work on my toilet. If i use pressure like that, all it would do is to push some of the crap and all remaining air in to the tank that holds the flushing water. Second push would cause all the crap to go in to the tank. So i would have crap on my tank, toilet full of crappy water and still have clogged pipes... The valve on my toilet is keeping the flushing water in the tank with the weight of the water on top of it, sealing it shut. But it has NO blowback valve. I'm guessing that it takes about 500g of force (not the right term, i know..) to lift that valve and let the flush happen. That means, you put your hand on top of this, pipe is clogged, the water has nowhere to go but up to the tank.

No bike is un-stealable, there is not a lock yet made that qualifies (nope, locks that destroy the content do not qualify either) All it takes is time and or ingenuity. There are plenty of excisting bike locks that accomplish what is needed without need to destroy structural integrity of the primary function, ie it is a bike and bike needs stiff and dependable frame. You put a good quality chain lock, like onGuard and you need powertools to get it off. Trust me, i'm a former bike thief. Just make sure that the lock itself is solid, it's no use to get good quality chain if you use 5€ lock. But no matter what, if i wanted your bike, i got it.. Uprooting lamp posts is not a problem..

Every humanbeing you see in this film are actors. Every.single.one.of.them.

Was specifically looking for that subway scene, see how they show one station and just before it arrives to next, it's cut off. That is because the rest of the stations are in poor condition.

And the big triple sided building: that's not how it looks, the blue parts are painted with CGI. It's totally empty, no one has ever used it for anything.
I was surprised to see old bus and cracks in the streets.. Was expecting a full on freshly laid tarmac and modern cars.

Also, you can see few of blocks. And none of it during the night. For similar sized western tourism ad, you would've seen the city shining brightly with multiple colored lights several times from multiple angles. In Pyongjang, they light up the city so that it's beautiful from one angle: the hotel they keep international guests locked in (literally). Elsewhere, it's powered off...

The production on that piece was really really great. Don't expect to see any leaked footage of the leftovers, i'm sure they had to shoot and edit it all with government computers and leave every bit of raw footage in the country....

But it is a true example of film (or video if we are nitpicking..) as a media, how powerful it can be.

Those "old timey" tractor with no cockpit are death machines. A family friend used to do wheelies with his tricked Porsche (they made tractors, so did Lamborghini..) until he almost flipped it over. It staid nose up but seeing that, it's always made me think that some farmers have a death wish. Machine that is pretty top heavy, high center of gravity and narrow shape, driven on un even terrain.. It's just stupid how they can't make a single rollhoop. It doesn't need to be total cage, just one U shaped bar (yeah, i know, it can get buried in the ground making it moot but something is better than nothing.) The only reason i've heard for not installing one: it's easier to jump out without one.. Yeah, laziness basically.

+1 45. SquidCap commented 10 years ago on video What Makes the Cracking Sound?

#6 True, it's not medicine. It's more like physiotherapy. It's manipulation of joints, doing the kinds of motions that the patient can't do by them selves (due to pain it causes, when you use your muscles to do it, the joints get compressed, when someone else does it for you, you can keep it relaxed) And like the guy said in the video, popping your joints is ok if you don't do it obsessively.

In our family, we got loose joints, i can all crack pretty much every one of them (apart of course from the big joints like knees and shoulders..) The problem i have is pinched nerves and the quick remedy is to pop the joint. It "stretches" the joint just little bit but it's usually enough that those nerves are being released. It's really important to keep the right posture after that, otherwise the problem comes back very soon. I'm not looking for that pop, i do my routine of stretching but since my joints are really loose, it is quite a ratatata..

I injured my back too when i was a teen, working on two jobs, doing double shifts on weekends assembling pallets (repetitive task with twisting motion picking up lumber and the nail gun, one 14h shift too many and i had my vertebrae twisted so bad that i actually had my torso twisted, could hardly walk.. A chiropractor fixed it in 10 minutes but he said that this will injury will be with me for the rest of my life.. There's very little apart from exercise and right posture when working to help the situation.

My L3 and L4 are hypermobile and popping them is usually the only quick home remedy. It's the sciated nerve bundle that gets pinched and it's freaking painful, at it's worst, my whole leg gets totally numb, feels like it's a solid piece without any joints, i can't walk properly and the pain shoots up to my jaw and neck.. No medicine can numb that pain (i refuse to use opiates, my stomach just stops working after 10mg of codeine, not nearly enough for pain relief..) So i pop it and it's 15 minutes and the pain starts to go away.

#3 They are outdated before they even arrived at the shop.

Most of the problems on ridiculous update cycle is programming. When computers get better, you can do more stuff with them. More stuff you do, better equipment it needs to have. The real answer is to force programmers to do their work on the minimal setup, not the monster workstations.. The thing is, it's then slow and the constant need to grow infinitely, is what is driving for speed in manufacturing. Ie, the software houses can get away for running their computer on half speed while the majority of the users will have to use a lot bigger percentage of energy to run them. It should be that the major calculations that require massive amounts of power need to be done at the manufacturing end. It's doable but slows done new product launches. We could easily use more memory than CPU power on our end, if that's what it takes (it does mean larger installer packages, less compression, ready calculated massive tables etc..)

You can compare it to web and streaming. You can encode sloppily and fast once and force people to use multiple times more power to run it. For ex flash videos, or certain MKV encoding methods. Very light weight for the server, very very very hard on end user. Just compare CPU power needed to playback 1080p on Youtube and the same stuff on bluray...

It's like your car would have to refine the oil needed to produce the gasoline individually, which would mean immense savings on manufacturing stage.... Now we are just using more oil cause that refinery is freaking massive and only gets bigger.

It's not a razor. She is using scissors that are slightly open. This is pretty known technique, it leaves uneven edges and more "fluffy" hair in oppose to straight edge cuts. It's also mostly just a gimmick and can hurt like hell (individual hairs can slip the grip easily and gets pulled from your head as a whole..).

+1 64. SquidCap commented 10 years ago on video The Homeless Addiction

The problem with the homeless in USA is the lack of safety net. Just being in the wrong place or wrong color, you can be wrongfully arrested, lose your job as the cops call your boss (who the fuck gave them that right?), you lose your job, you lose health insurance, then your home. All because the system does not allow a person to bounce back, you fall, you fall all the way down unless you got lucky and your friends and relatives can pick you up. If a person does not have those, he's worth as a humanbeing drops to zero.

In more civilized countries, if you get in trouble, may it be health, you get fired cause the company is downsizing, basically anything that you can't help, you don't lose your value with the job. You get enough to get by, keep your flat, your car and your health insurance. That gives a person time to bounce back, allows to keep dignity, health and to stay sober. But the willingess to care for humanlife is dropping by every minute, your worth is your status; how much money you make define your better or worse than the next guy and if you can't make it, you get bad luck, anything then it's "I win cause you're out! Bye bye, who the fuck cares about you, you loser..." That is the attitude if the greatest nation on earth towards it's own people.

+1 65. SquidCap commented 10 years ago on video Finger drumming

This is much closer to a percussionist than a drummer. I know there is no real line between the two. The major difference is hi-hat line, a third element that happens on beat/backbeat and a lot of the hits happen at the same time with either snare or kick.. I can go all day with this kind of "complex" 2 element rhythms, it's not that hard. But try tapping those eights in the mix, on beat, don't miss any hits that are on the same beat..

Just try it, now. Tap eights with any finger and tap 'kick' on 1st beat, 'snare' on 2nd beat... (those who have done drumlessons, remember this rhythm from the first week.. one the basics) Then forget those eights and start banging complex rhythms, fills, drumrolls within microseconds. Much much easier, ain't it?

That is what is happening here, percussions on fingers are very natural and easy: most percussions only use hands. Basic drums have an extra "layer" of information and mimicking the action done with two hands and two feets with ten fingers is really a challenge. Have seen few that can actually use the whole virtual drumkit but mostly you see people posting fills and pseudohard percussion lines (sound complex and hard, are actually stupidly easy..).

#2 Just a quick correction. The jet of molten copper is the destructive force behind armor piercing missiles and RPGs. There is no secondary explosion occurring inside, the molten copper burns quite joyfully everything inside fast enough to be considered as an explosive force. Oh, there's explosives stored inside the tank too, you don't need to bring more explosive material in it.

This method basically explodes the shell before it can use it's shaped charge and inverted cone. Without that geometrical shape, it just explodes 360 degrees in all directions.

#3 Well, Russian Ark has everything to do with pre-production planning, the actual shoot and nothing to do with post-production (basically, it's just color corrections and start and end titles that were added..).. But then again, that's one continuous 96 minute steadycam shot.

I can honestly say that most of the stuff that's planned will be shown on screen, post-prod is a huge part but it still has to follow the story just like every other part of the project.. It's not the most important part, it's essential but people do short stories filmed in chronological order with minimal post-prod and it can work.

Back on topic... This is not a replacement of post production but it does bring back the interaction for the actors and director so they can see how to do that scene, if it works or not and what needs to be changed. You still have to do it all over again and render it offline. But it certainly does help of merging the two worlds more seamlessly.

Wont believe until i see it. They have made so bold claims before without providing anything in return. Of course one has to think, who would made such an elaborate demo for a scam, clearly using point cloud data (well, there is not just millions but milliards of dollars at stake...). But the claims are really out of this world.

First real voxel gaming engine should be totally possible if this demo is true, which i really really doubt. The amount of data is simply too huge, one map would require a terabyte or two. Of course it could be run from a cloud when all gamers have a steady gigabyte network. I hope it's true but i have my reservations.

EDIT: Ok, i read more on this subject and it seems like they have forgotten about gaming use and this is pretty much it: a search algorithm for point cloud data for the use of the industry that needs it. It's not aimed for consumers anymore. Before their goal was infinite detail game engine but like many have stated before, the amount of data is simply not possible to be handled at 100FPS per second. It' impressive data fetching scheme, that is true but as infinite detail and gaming.. not gonna happen.

Things get a lot more complicated if you use numbers that are not chosen to fit this way of calculating. Take any prime and put them up there. 1075/25 is very simple to do with either system, 1069/23 is not.

Also multiplying large numbers in your head is easier with powers of ten system than binary that almost always needs a pen and a paper. The main difference is length of the sequence. 632 is way easier to remember than "1001111000"..

There is another side to this story. The quality on the cheaper brands skyrocketed. I've had luxotticas cheapest models for years and the quality is the same than pre-luxottica RayBans.. The pair i have now is three years old and i wear them daily. My 90s RayBans wore out in a year.

The point of this story is not that luxottica makes most of the shades in the world. It's that they are infiltrating to medical industry causing obvious concerns. If a company owns the doctor that prescribes the very products you are selling, it's clearly wrong in everyones mind. Why is it not wrong on the judicial side, there is the problem.

It misses rifling or some other method of spinning the bullet along it's axis. Stabilizing fins is one way but it's inefficient method as it creates lots of drag that only self propelled ammunition can withstand. On CQC combat, maybe. For longer ranges RoF is not such a big issue so you can spin each bullet with simple motor before launch. Can imagine the scene: you hear a faint spinning sound; you got a sniper somewhere close.. No muzzle flashes or loud bang, just bullets hitting the wall.

There is extra feature in coil guns, the acceleration is gradual and totally controllable so you can use wide variety of explosive material in them.

Like someone noted already, the battery needs to be really old for this to work. While all the batteries are made in similar manner, small changes in stamping presses can make the negative side bulge when new. So you need to compare against the same brand, type and even month when manufactured. Old batteries tend to bulge on the negative terminal but it needs to be at least a year old. You batteries in your remote might show the difference. In any case, outside differences in batteries is NOT 100% sure way to determine how the insides are still performing.

+1 83. SquidCap commented 11 years ago on video INSIDE a Spherical Mirror

To #6 : #5 is correct, you see yourself inside out. It's a bit hard to grasp and for common sense it's better to just think of it as reversed. The problem comes when we think of yourself looking at the mirror as 3rd person and start to move that scene and actors in your mind. What then happens, in your mind, is not true, it's just our interpretation of the the reality. We have never experienced being inside out. It's more of a mathematical mirror than real but it explains very logically how up and down is not reversed but left and right is, in our mind, reversed. In true physical world it's simple as a brick to understand how mirrors work. Thus the self image we have in our mind is reversed because we take that scene out from the surroundings that created it correctly and we apply 3rd person view incorrectly. In philosophical sense it's very interesting indeed... If we are inside out in the mirror and carry that image with us, are we then actually inside out every time we are NOT facing a mirror?

+3 95. SquidCap commented 11 years ago on video Absolutely monstrous waves rocking ship

Been in few storms in the sea but with much much smaller vessels.. It is awesome to be between waves, you can see nothing but water much much higher than you...

The worst was with 6.66m sailboat built for speed, we did our speedrecord with only 2/3 of headsail, no main sail. That was some scary shit, even the emergency boats were coming to shore and they are built to go to the worst storms imaginable. All turns had to be made at the top of the wave and there was not room for error, if we would've been even once sideways, that would be the end of our three men crew (only two of us could operate, the third was paralyzed with fear, almost causing a major disaster when he suddenly froze at the bow as he tried to lower the headsail as it was about to be ripped apart..)

21m/s constant and going well above 30 in gusts.. i Had to give counter balance and each time we hit the bottom of the wave i was submerged, hanging on the line outside the boat (sorry, it's was long time ago and i don't really know the correct terms in english..) And of course our motor shut off in the middle of it all, it was the only thing keeping us straight, i can tell that it was quite a fast fix to get it going.

Luckily the boat was made for racing so even if we would've capsized, it would still float merrily. And we hit a rock when going for a harbour, the waves were so high that we hit underwater rock that normally would've been well under our keel, we lost about 60cmx20cm piece from the keel but luckily hull stayed intact. We were literally standing on that rock for few seconds before waves picked us up again.

0 99. SquidCap commented 11 years ago on video When was the last time you tested your eyesight

#17 If your speakers cut off at 15kHz, you have awful equipment. Most speakers can go well over 20kHz. It's your other equipment and processes that is cutting. Mainly, MP3 and other non-lossless compression methods block high frequencies because they contain a lot of information that we don't actually really hear. This is why this clip also works on Youtube, Snotr uses audio encoding that blocks too much (guys, seriously, audio does not take up so much space that you can't use better quality... Youtube audio is well compressed already, no need to rip their video and encode it all again.. before Youtube it's most likely been recompressed 5 times, do we need another round of quality loss?)

If you take a look at MP3 vs pure audio, you can see that even when encoding 320kbps, you are losing 90% of the information above 17kHz (doesn't affect me, i'm tested and that's as high as i can go anyway at this age). But regular speakers should go to 20kHz. Not very precisely but they will do that.

Most speakers can't produce lower frequencies, anything below 40Hz is starting to pose some serous physical limitations that make those last Herzes so expensive (or alternatively muddy DSP overdriving small cabinets, like most "hyperbass", "natural bass" etc PC desktop craps where you lose precision but gain volume..)
