Bummer. Try again! It should be fixed.

I actually got one of these and it's the best umbrella I've ever used. Not just for the rounded corners... it's very well engineered and handles nicely in the worst windstorms.

Some people might complain that it is better to bite into them .
But there would be the pleasure after you could debone smoothly.

Why do you have to remove the bones before you eat? All the pleasure is sucking the meat off the bones, isn't it? ....Or am I strange?

Masae

Masae commented 1 year, 6 months ago

I don't think you are strange at all.
What we do have in common is that we all don’t want to leave ANY meat around bones in any way !

most science majors get to do this in lab, and it's dece, but on this scale it's awesome.

oddly, the guy in the video calls this "quantum levitation" and talks about "locking", which i'm pretty sure is the wrong way to describe it. anyone care to expound?

i can't find any literature referencing "magnetic levitation" as "quantum levitation", but oh well, i guess it sounds more viral (OMG VIRAL, LIKE BUTTON, DERP).

for anyone interested, some more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meissner_effect
and
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_pinning = "locking"

regardless, this is the best demo of this effect i have seen.

hrldcpr

hrldcpr commented 1 year, 7 months ago

such a cool phenomenon.
i haven't read enough to say why, but I think that this is indeed different from the Meissner Effect so they may be justified throwing "quantum" in there.

tex

tex commented 1 year, 7 months ago

Quantum Locking is what happens when you expose a super-cooled superconductor to a magnetic field. The super-cooled semiconductor allows the magnetic field thru only at certain weak points called Flux Tubes. In this way, the superconductor material can be 'locked' into a particular position in the magetic field.

FYI - I posted a link in my re-recommendation that shows a larger experiment using quantum-locking.

Play mind games, literally. Reads EEG brain waves so you can control the ball with your brain by concentrating. Could make for an interesting drinking game as well.

Very cool... hosted fonts so you can use any font you want with a modern browser. Just found out about this earlier today and then they were acquired by Adobe. Coincidence?

Demo of a music visualization rendering engine I am making, based on the old MilkDrop for WinAmp. Works in browsers with WebGL (latest Chrome and Firefox).

Awesome. Works in Safari as well, although maybe I explicitly enabled WebGL at some point?

One of my favorite documentaries. About the death of a 25-year-old genius who managed to define a music genre in his short life.

Great RPG. Engaging storyline which has a seemingly endless number of possibilities depending on how you play. The environments are complex and beautiful. The combat system is a lot of fun too.

Interesting HBO documentary about vigilantes that dress up like superheroes. In the beginning it had me laughing at how ridiculous they were, but by the end you get a better understanding of their motives.

Ryuukuro commented 1 year, 8 months ago

I have yet to see the movie but I am torn between amusement at the idea of real superheroes, horror at the trauma (or delusion) that drives these people to do this, and a deep hope that one of these "heroes" will turn into a real Batman.

I'm not ashamed to say it. I WANT TO SEE BATMAN.
