This is a backup account for my love of BTS.

I will probably just reblog a scream in the tags like old times. But I’m always down for someone to scream with so feel free to follow and dm me 💛💛💛

Guys this is me

This is frustrating.

I love the comparison, but I hate how they are comparing.

They are acting like she is using optics to give herself an advantage. But the device she is wearing is just for comfort and essentially does the same thing as closing one eye and squinting the other.

The little thing over the left eye is basically like an eye patch.

And the thing over her right eye is a mechanical iris, like in a camera lens, but it is NOT a lens.

Different lighting environments are going to be brighter or darker and you may have to squint more or less to let in the same amount of light into your eye. Squinting allows the shooter to get the sharpest possible vision in order to shoot a bullseye the size of a 12-point Times New Roman period.

But if you have to squint for hours for practice and in competition, this can strain your face muscles and become uncomfortable. So this iris basically squints for you.

It's more like wearing comfortable shoes so your feet do not hurt than a lens magnifying the target and giving an advantage.

Both athletes have access to these items. One felt more comfortable without them. The other didn't feel like getting a muscle cramp from squinting all day.

Either would have shot the same if they had or had not used these devices.

Just a funny difference in gear preference.

I should also add, the Turkish dad is the only one using lenses.

[sirfrogsworth]

I'd just like to add that Kim Yeji may look like a cool cyborg badass, but she and the Turkish dad only won silver.

The gold medal winner in the women's air pistol finals was adorable and a bit overshadowed.

Oh Ye-jin, who is only 19, won gold and set an Olympic record with her final score.

Kim Yeji is her mentor and seems very supportive of her.

Also, Oh Ye-jin added a little heart to the barrel blocking thingie.

I mean, it's like she got lost at summer camp and just wandered into the Olympics to win gold.

I think she deserves some attention too.

[thefrogman]

When I was watching the competition I kept wondering why they never showed the actual target as it was being shot. On the broadcast they just show a graphic of the target.

And then the commentator said the bullseye was literally the size of a period—smaller than the actual pellets they are shooting. And that the entire target was the size of a coin.

They'd have to set up a macro lens next to every target for you to see them.

Pretty much every shot lands within the 3 inner circles. And if you hit the 3rd circle your shot is basically garbage. Like you'd see the shooters grimace and do an angry little foot stomp if they hit it there.

Like, if you get a 7 you might as well go home.

And the best shot possible is a 10.9—which would be hitting as close to the bullseye as can be measured.

This was Oh Ye-jin's final gold medal winning shot.

A 10.6!

It's absolutely bonkers how precise these shooters are.

I mean... look at this period...

.

Now imagine trying to shoot it from 30 feet away.

I don't think my old ass could even see the damned thing.

[alexaloraetheris]

Thank you for the context, my nearsighted ass did NOT know this.

Great, thanks, I was aware of that already.

We desperately need to get stay at home moms into 3D modeling/3D printing. I say this every day and it never gets any less true.

[luxlightly]

We need to give these women the tools to do with 3D printers what they've accomplished with cutting machines. There are youtube videos out there with a woman who looks like she is personally your mom clearly using her own phone camera to record and saying "Ok we're going to learn how to make a suuuper easy and fun cricut project! I whipped up the design for this while the kids were at school :)" and then shows off some 3D paper masterpiece that would take me 3 years in an architectural college to have designed. We need this for the 3D printing world.

[luxlightly]

"Waah but then people might take the art less seriously and we'd see a bunch of people making a printing 3D knick knacks for etsy and it won't be an exclusive club anymore :(((" GOOD. I would LOVE for 3d printing to be relegated to the realm of "mom craft" the way laser/cnc cutting and engraving have. I would love for companies that know they can hike prices because it's seen as a "techie" thing to have to make their product more accessible for lower income people to stay competitive with the market. I would love to see a bunch of little cute 3d crap on etsy or at craft fairs. I see no downside to this. And if you see an art form as "less serious" or "less legitimate" because women are getting into it, then that's on you.

There's literally nothing better about something that just makes an entire room laugh harder and harder with every moment. No words, no explinations, no one talking, just pure laughter.

Fuck your horoscope, your prediction for next year is determined by the songs on your spotify wrapped for your birthdate (m/d/yy)

[lesbianspeedy]

the best movie genre is heists where everything goes slightly wrong but in the last 10 minutes they show in flashbacks that actually everything was planned and they meant to break every bone in their body then go to prison or whatever

People are asking whether the pilot of the Ever Given will still have a job after this, but honestly, I’d be surprised if the owner of the Ever Given will still have a job after this. When this is over, Evergreen Marine is going to get sued by every shipping insurance company on the planet. Like, I’m not even exaggerating for effect here: I mean every single one.

[jcogginsa]

IIRC, Boats going through the Suez Canal are legally required to have a designated Suez Canal Pilot take the ship through it. So the Ever Given may well be in the clear because their people weren’t the ones who crashed the boat

[prokopetz]

That absolutely will not stop potential litigants from claiming that Evergreen was negligent by sending the Ever Given through the Canal in the first place.

(Of course, Evergreen will obviously claim that it was the Canal authority’s responsibility to determine whether it was appropriate to send the Ever Given through, not theirs, and now we’re off to the races!)

[andrewwolfe]

I am not, and was not ever, a shipping lawyer. I did, however, work down the hall from a whole team of them, so I picked up a thing or two over after-work beers. You cannot predict, nor hope to predict, just how arcane and byzantine a really good shipping law action is going to get.  And this promises not just to be really good, but possibly the best that has ever been seen.  And the shipping claims are merely the centre-ring to a multi-ring circus of insurance, reinsurance and otherwise unspecified contract claims.  We’re not just off the races, we’re getting a side trip to the zoo, a night at the opera and probably some folk dancing thrown in. The last time I can recall a single non-war event that embuggeranced this many contracts, it was the unexpected postponement of Edward VII’s coronation due to inflammation of the Royal Appendix.

@andrewwolfe i entered an inkstained haze and then awoke 2 hours later with this, enjoy

Disney’s Pencil Test for Frozen (2013)

[theglitchmaster-deactivated2024]

I don’t think Disney is aware that their movies look so much better in two dimensions

[magic-and-moonlit-wings]

That comment reminds me of another comment for which I can’t recall the source; paraphrased, “The best CGI now will always look outdated ten years from now, but awesome drawings will always look like awesome drawings.” 

[stachionalgeographic]

Also it was…not the best CGI
