Giant Water Balloon to the Face
It’s the summertime, so Gav and Dan of the Slow Mo Guys are back to experimenting with giant water balloons. In this video, they send several careening down a slope into Dan’s face. Watching the balloons descend and pop is (unsurprisingly) my favorite part. It’s neat to see how the elasticity of the balloon acts like a beefed-up surface tension to make this enormous blob of water act like an oversized droplet. (Video and image credit: The Slow Mo Guys)

Hello everyone, this is the fresh #introduction I said I'd post once I'd had a good lie down after moving instances.
I'm in #Adelaide again since 2016, back where it all started, after about 17 years in #Canberra. You can tell from this that I was a Commonwealth public servant. I did lots of things during my career, mostly too dull to talk about, and a few that were utterly fascinating. I'm not allowed to talk about most of them. I am now technically retired (very early) because of Various Reasons which I won't go into, but some of it was political in origin. I was politically neutral until experience turned me into a leftie.
This is not an overtly political account. I leave most of my politics offline, where it can do some actual good and won't clog up your feeds.
I post about whatever floats to the top of my mind, so the quality is variable. I favour words over pictures in my posts. Sorry about that.
I am fond of #history, #archaeology and #ecology. Also #mettwurst and #inertia.
