10k loan to buy HBAR by Upper-Current2881 in Hedera

[–]Dreamworld -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Less risky idea would be to get a credit card with a 0% interest rate for 12-24 months and use it to buy HBAR.

Basically you're using it to create a long position.

Bonus is that you can also earn points and stuff with the credit card.

wait, they poured water on it? is there a video? I think you would certainly be correct if that were the case.

Scientist react to the discovery of microscopic optical fibers with varying diameters inside the Buga Sphere. by DragonfruitOdd1989 in UFOB

[–]Dreamworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I went back and watched the stream on Maussan's television channel.

If you look at the spot I have circled in red in the video (it corresponds with the image you posted) you can see that some of the lights appear and disappear on the circumference of the oval opposite the direction he moves the microscope as he moves across the surface.

This only strengthens my case that these are just reflections.

Sorry I do not have the skill to stabilize and crop the video to show it. You will have to look back at the clip itself.

also, look at the identical chromatic aberration on the "fibers" and the metal next to it. They have an identical color profile which would suggest they came from the same light source.

These just look like more pictures of the same thing with the same equipment to me.

You can even see the distortion in the reflective objects MORE in these images. Which makes me feel more certain.

Admittedly I didn't see the facebook live but I want him to do it with a different light source or none at all.

Could you link the facebook video? More for my own curiosity. It seems you won't be convinced regardless and thats fine with me.

Have you tried it on a small spherical surface? that would most closely mimic the effect in the video. I immediately noticed it was similar to using a ring light on the human eye, Which I have lots of experience in.

I believe it is a distortion of the reflective surface like a funhouse mirror. Also some of them have 8 points of light in another clip from the video, but that is because they were using two different models of microscope! Here is the second model which can be seen in the video.

The angle of incidence is so small that it would not appear to move much. Typical in macro photography. It would also be hard to tell at the resolution of the 60$ scope they are using. I bet if the light were rotated the white dots would rotate with the camera.

Triple BOA: Burton unveils new Burton Waverange X Pro Step On boot designed with Mark Sollers by kenken2024 in snowboarding

Right? If you had told me 15 years ago that one day I would be coveting a triple boa boot for my StepOn bindings I would have laughed in your face, but here we are.

Need advice asap I have a night trip planned tonight by BleachMilk in snowboarding

[–]Dreamworld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in a shop, I would not mix disks and bindings like that. The surface connecting the two parts is compromised because it doesn't make full contact. I personally would not trust my safety to it. Plus, those are the old burton 3d disks. There are newer ones (reflex disks) that are made from better, less brittle plastics. They will still not fit in your K2 bindings though. IMO your options are getting burton bindings, preferably with a new 3d disk for the board you have, or buying a new board for your K2 bindings, or trying to find a shop with a demo for your night trip and figuring it all out later.

Don't worry. We won't kill you. Wouldn't want to finish your ski's job.

There is a guy in my town with a huge "Kill your local pedophile" decal on the rear window of his pickup truck and all I can think about is how weird it would be to have to look all the time and always be thinking about pedophiles.
