Quick derail question: What are those things on the end of their rifles, silencers or something? Why does the guy 3rd from the left have a bigger one?

I know nothing about guns.

Bad rear end robots? Some Chinese guy made this:

Those treads look bad rear end but they would get worn down to blunt little nubs in no time flat.

This is (I think) part of this video Danny Macaskill - Inspired Bicycles

He backflips off a tree. From the ground. I still can't quite figure out if it's genius or lunacy.

I know this is from a few pages ago but holy poo poo. I know nothing about biking but this has to be like, the pinnacle of whatever the hell style of biking you call that? I can't imagine anyone doing tricks more impressive than that guy.

Those photos are confirmation: Putin=Bond villain. Even Khirurg (the Surgeon) shows mad respect.




Caption: In this Monday, August 29, 2011 photo, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin talks to leader of Nochniye Volki (the Night Wolves) biker group, Alexander Zaldostanov -- also known as Khirurg (the Surgeon) -- at a bikers' festival in the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, Russia

I like his mobile phone holster.

Grimlock is a playable character in the new Transformers game. His only non-melee attack is throwing robots at other robots. Also, he can't transform on command. He'll maul people until a rage meter hits full at which point HE WILL UNCONTROLLABLY TURN INTO A FIRE-BREATHING ROBOT TYRANNOSAURUS.

Badass.

I did a double take on this one.

"Woah"

I said it quietly as I thought it was just a big moth before I realised what it was but still thought it looked cool. My brain then finished processing exactly what was in the picture.

"WOAH"

This one looks like it should be a magic card.

Phyrexian Harpy or something. 6/6 flyer trample, artifact creature for 6 black mana. Sacrifice 2 creatures when it comes into play.

Actually, they all look like they belong on magic cards.

I tried learning how to do this once and ended up almost breaking my hand. I can't figure out how he does it.

It looks quite simple to me.

MIT has invented a camera capable of recording a trillion frames per second. This is an image from a video created of a pulse of light scattering through a coke bottle. Technically the video in the link (the light pulse sequence happens at about 1:47) was created by combining many repetitions because the camera only sees one spatial dimension, but the end result is pretty freaking :science:

The same technique can also be used to see around corners. gently caress I love living in the future.

I watched the TED lecture on this the other night when I took mushrooms and holy poo poo my brain almost leaked out my ears.

Information on this engine? I'm guessing it's like an F1 car engine? What with all the fancy carbon fibre, turbo (and supercharger?) and dry sump? What are those cylinders on the sides?

This was a 3D rendering project to do 10 renders in 10 days. Pretty cool stuff, but still fake.

Holy poo poo I can't believe he did 10 in 10 days, that is insane. Like, I can't fathom how you could make that much detail in each of those models in a day each :psyduck:
