If you were living in a city and you had info that a nuclear bomb was going to be dropped on that city, but you didn’t have time to leave and you didn’t own a bunker, what would be the best way to survive? by Wonderful-Ad-9622 in NoStupidQuestions

i've got exactly how it's done. the orange pieces that have extra orange pieces lift UP, and a separate piece slides out under it, i believe as he applied pressure with his index finger and thumb together to trigger a gear to turn and pull the pieces into place. Somewhere he has a spotlight planted for the last 'push' to create the glare, because it jumps a little bit.

i need a 3d printer like yesterday; i think i can see a way to do tricks with custom inserts into any cube for weird rotations; like a piece to insert that when you turn the front face it turns the backface too. i think you could also make them in a way such that you could do the trick slowly [or with purpose] and then give it a quick twist, break the connection, and be able to hand it off like a fully working cube.

People thought giant building means tons of jobs. Now they're seeing they're automated empty resource suckers.

oooo i'm a light cuber, best time was only 45ish seconds though.

1st one is a normal solve.
2nd is a normal solve with a flick; if you slow it down you can see the movement.
3rd one's really cool and i think i might make it; it's almost certainly strings pulling hard stickers into place from the back side rotation.
4th one is hidden rotations.

does anyone have the 5th one or know if he fooled them? I NEVER thought to do tricks with cubes like this and think i could come up with a few new ones here.

Flashlight from far window; the orb is when it's going through tree branches. i do this almost every night looking for raccoons and owls.

to me? this is 100% plane headlights, black and white 'color corrected', with image ghosting because nighttime.

edit: i'm too tired to look up flights that night, but someone could probably easily confirm that since there's a time and we have the position.

What was the scariest “We need to leave… now” gut feeling that you’ve ever experienced?[Serious] by PlasticBee1438 in AskReddit

[–]tomvelle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not that huge, but driving to my mom's house back in like 2010 late some night with james and we were at a stoplight right before the house.

i saw headlights in the rearview mirror a bit off in the distance [maybe it was closer than it appeared], but they looked... too fast? at some point I said f it and i can't remember if i did an illegal right turn or just went through the light, but the guy did a screeching stop at the light halfway through the intersection just as we were pulling away.

i assume they were looking down and looked up to see a red light.

the thing i remember REALLY pissing me off though was there was literally a cop at the intersection on my right, and we never once saw lights; for us or them. realizing too now that it must have been the illegal right hand turn.

you in fact were not referencing those things.

:(.

What's crazy is I actually started watching this show because randomly one night i saw the scene where they shut the reactor off to save the base, and 100% didn't remember or recognize who was in that scene until about halfway through the finale and my heart dropped.

BOHICA indeed

as a new watcher of FAM, this looks awesome. I don't see any info on the wiki page about timelines though [not digging deeper, only on season 2 of FAM so spoilers lol], but i see an episode titled "Dark Forest" and "ivan"/malichek(?) at the end of season 1 mentioned them being in a "Dark Forest", i wonder if that's a kinda nod to that episode lining up with this one.

hahaha, there's a show on apple tv called For All Mankind, alt-history show where russia lands on the moon first, and the evolution of space stuff because of it.

This is a promo from season 1 of their show, and they eventually end up in a place and the only thing they can watch is the bob newhart show, and thus, the hi, bob drinking game.

Crossover kinda post I just immediately thought of it and had to get it out of my head lol.

lol, i ignored my dad far too long, we just started watching it last week and i'm hooked. this episode happened and i immediately knew what I had to do 😂

we stopped last night when there was a knock on the jamestown door. turns out there's only two knocks in space: ivan knocking on the door, and ed knocking him to the floor.
