Paper boomerang that you can make.

No, I can't. I don't have B4 paper.

Oh, right. It's impossible to print it on A4 paper or an 8.5*11 sheet.

But failure on my part: the instructions say to print out the diagram THEN trace it onto a thin ("0.5-0.7mm") piece of cardboard using carbon paper (though to be sure: there are some printers that can handle such cardboard). Strictly speaking what is seen in the video is NOT a paper boomerang but a thin cardboard one.

For some reason, I was thinking that it was some kind of origami thing. Trace on cardboard huh? I guess I could make it work if I really wanted to...

Haven't seen the video yet (it's on my 'watch later' list)

The British Film Institute will be re-releasing "2001: A Space Odyssey" and here is their trailer.

For comparison: here is the original 1968 trailer.

Little girls dropping F bombs for a good cause. I think that cause is getting lost in all that language.

I like how the the woman recording it says she'd back up if he came closer and she never did.

She would have been really unhappy if Momma bear had followed baby bear into that Rite Aid. If I ever see a baby bear my first action will be to turn and run away.

But hez so cute!

So deep, so staged.

Some kids want to get into acting/film making.

A press reaction to the Antares rocket explosion. The view was from the press viewing area and has what they heard with the 10-second delay.

It was a good looking "ghostly" drone but I have to wonder if all of the shots for that video were basically staged. Most drones are rather noisy with an obvious whirring noise generated by their rotors that should have been obvious to any of the people the operator "sicced" his ghost drone. Maybe I could believe the reaction from the little kids.

As a comparison, check out this drone demo and listen to how loud it is. I've set the link to skip over the first five minutes or so where the operator talks about his drone's design and controls.

You notice that they replaced all the audio with spooky sounds.

Note what the flight attendant said: "You guys aren't allowed to videotape." Maybe I should have put this into the Political Image thread?

Most unbelievable and insane sounding (and looking) acoustic instrument.

Quote:

Yaybahar is an electric-free, totally acoustic instrument designed by Gorkem Sen. The vibrations from the strings are transmitted via the coiled springs to the frame drums. These vibrations are turned into sound by the membranes which echo back and forth on the coiled springs. This results in an unique listening experience with an hypnotic surround sound.
What you hear in this performance is captured in realtime without any additional effects and with no post audio processing.

Like that studio.

I couldn't watch all of it because I got tired of waiting for something interesting or funny to happen.

I clicked ahead to see what happened next.
