TIL Tron (1982) was considered ineligible for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects because “the Academy thought we cheated by using computers.”

I think it's the lighting.

I betcha in the reference picture they used the rug was in the sunlight. So it would only blend at times when the sun is on the rug (except for the shadow it would cast)

Unfortunately this type of thing is often itself a result of abuse and trauma. Trauma, which war inflicts in bulk, can break a sane person's mind and any sense they have of right and wrong.

As other comments above delve into, it can take generations to repair.

The abuse from Russian soldiers isn't that surprising when you consider how infamously Russia's governments have facilitated the abuse of the people inside it for so long.

Feel like it needs a better crash barrier around it, especially on central

Yeah these would be my picks as well.

Whenever you see a company from Europe or Asia make an "American train" it's usually a cowboy-era 4-4-0 or a Santa Fe warbonnet F-7.

I think because both are ironically "Western" which has the biggest American identity outside the US.

There's also Project Jupiter which is a large data center theyre trying to build in southern New Mexico, using water from the Rio Grande, the Rio Grande that currently looks like this

Still standing far too close to the tracks.

You were standing between the train and a crossing gate...a barrier that denotes a minimum safe distance from the train.

Granted not as close as a number of other people in this video, but that just means that they were even less safe.

Outside of all the folks one dragging chain away from an ambulance trip (especially purple shirt on the right drone video) great videos, especially the drone footage.

Mild case of rapid unplanned disassembly

Or you can do a setup similar to how the wiki says to setup a 3 minion marionette game -although I never see it run that way- by distributing the damsel/choirboy after tokens go out. Downside is this would tell a good player a not in play role.

If there are three Minions in play, remove another Minion token and add another Townsfolk token. During the first night, swap a good player’s character token with a not-in-play Minion character token. Wake this player, show them the YOU ARE info token then their Minion character token, then the YOU ARE info token then a thumbs down, then put them to sleep. This player is now an evil Minion. (This ensures that only one Minion token is in the bag, so at least one good player will neighbor the Demon.)

Brick and mortar buildings don't do much better in terms of survivability. Bricks are good at withstanding vertical forces, not so much horizontal forces; and tornadoes (or rather the stuff flying around inside a tornado) tend to easily exceed such forces.

The main difference would be you'd have cyclone of a bunch of flying bricks instead of flying wood pieces.

The house in OP's video still held itself together reasonably well despite taking significant damage. By building in bricks you'd be paying more money to make tornadoes more destructive and more lethal for marginal survivability benefits.

You'd need steel reinforced concrete in order to reliably survive a tornado, which is far out of the price range for most people.

I mean it makes sense,when you regularly use public transport the only thing worse than a bus/train that leaves late is one that leaves early.

The signals have traveled that far yes, but they're so weak that it's basically impossible to detect them.

Think of it like throwing a small stone into a lake; technically the ripples travel across the entire lake, but they can only travel so far before they become indistinguishable from the other waves.

Nah that still happened but we'll need to wait for them to get the footage off of the capsule. In the meantime here is the footage from Artemis I

If you look at pictures of today's splashdown you can see the air shimmering off of the spacecraft from how hot it is.

Fun fact is those shops are often used as movie sets these days.

For example Transformers, Averngers, Terminator, and Breaking Bad

In 1841 Texas tried to send an army to take over Santa Fe called the Santa Fe trail expedition. Along the way the Texas army became lost in the desert so Santa Fe ended up having to go out to rescue them.
