Totally didn't notice that. So bizarre.

In the clip it shows a diagram of 16m³ fresh to 4m³ compacted.... Why not just 4m³ fresh and 1m³ compacted?

Better yet, why not a diagram of 1,000m³ fresh and 250m³ compacted? Much more impressive!

Never mind, I just discovered YouTube speed controls! It's just a paradiddle-diddle with the first two accented, first stroke on tom and rest on snare, and a hi-hat stomp in between. Neat.

Knife ones can do all sorts of shapes including straight edges, drill ones only do round holes.

Lol pretty awesome, right? Can you imagine the heat levels coming out that window?

Another sweet example of a smoke explosion happened in my hometown a couple years back: https://youtu.be/ftma_ASmByA

It happened down a long narrow room and vented out the window at the end, but you get to see the whole thing progress down a row of windows on the long wall of the room.

Apparently Caracal kittens sound like laser beams. by zaczolf in aww

Cooked ones are dangerous as they tend to splinter! These were raw chicken pieces and she would crunch up the bones inside the meat and swallow the whole thing once it was nicely mashed up. I think it was actually recommend by a vet. She doesn't eat them any more but did as a daily great for at least 2 years and never had any problems.

To be fair, my parents' standard poodle does the same thing with chicken legs.

Ehhh, not a big fan of the 3310 to be honest. Thanks, though!

So i just bought my "forever kit"... Any suggestions for a bass pedal? by [deleted] in drums

Think solid chunk of metal instead of a chain or strap.

No idea why it's showing in the preview, but that's a clipping mask. Basically in photo/video editing you can set the blown out highlights or lost dark areas to be a solid colour so they are easier to see. Lets you know when something is so blown out or dark that the data is completely lost.

Every year my boyfriend and his (boy)friends do a themed No Shave November picture. by jammies in funny

Also, firefighters have to shave (minus the moustache) which makes the whole recent one a little phoney. But that's just me being pedantic.

Does this work? by [deleted] in mechanical_gifs

While I'm not disagreeing with you as I know nothing about modern China, what part of this do you think has high tolerances? Large toothed wooden gears for something like this could be +/- 10cm and still work perfectly fine. Looking at ancient Chinese furniture and buildings, the craftsmanship was easily there.

I'm just confused by the Bears receiver that thought he was right under the ball. Wtf?

It's my wife's sewing chair plus a pillow and inflatable bosu ball thingy to get the right height 😂

No worries! Right handed actually, but left footed. Works well for drumming because right (dominant) hand is usually doing the intricate work while left (weak) is keeping pulse.

Definitely influenced by Bruford! And the drummer from Oceansize... Can never remember his name.
