@BillyKryzak As a video analyst, you should understand the parallax effect. The balloon is likely close to stationary. It only appears to be moving because the camera is moving. The balloon rips apart and starts falling out of the sky after being hit.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@Srg509 @TheUfoJoe @ufouapam It’s not trailing debris. It’s falling debris. The orb is close to stationary. It appears to be moving fast because the camera is moving fast.

@LatticeWeaver @FettuccineSplit The R9X Hellfire does not explode. It just has blades on the front.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@FettuccineSplit The object LOOKS like it’s moving fast, when in reality it’s probably close to stationary, and it is the camera which is moving fast. Until people understand that, they won’t be able to believe this is a balloon.

@MickWest Are you suggesting this video proves he killed himself? Based on what? You can't even see the stairwell leading to his tier, or all of the entrances to the Common Area from here.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@EdmundKudzayi @sama No. That only works at this specific moment with the exact scenario you are describing and then eventually evolves into the pay-per-use system Sam is suggesting. This is ultimately very bad for users.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@sama You need to have your UX lead involved in discussions like this. This initially seems like a fantastic business decision, but it is a horrible UX decision, and therefore it is ultimately a bad business decision.

@jakebarber2025 @SkywatcherHQ Not sure if the ambiguous wording of this question was intentional or not, but technically you have only stated here that you are 100% confident that you "believe". Was that your intent?

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@MickWest 47 comments and no legit answers to your question. He’s saying drones scare the govt because they’re too easy to weaponize and too hard to detect and defend against. And that’s nothing compared to how difficult it would be to defend against psionic weapons, if they existed.

@oscar_oto @figma This looks like an amazing tool, but the site is currently down. When do you expect to bring it back? I need this.

@florida_grand Are you under the impression that nobody is going to die from this hurricane tomorrow night?

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@schuld_eth @InternetH0F This looks like it would be frustrating to walk on. The ground moving under you means you must use more energy to walk. There’s no way they are installing this under football pitches.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@OpenAI How do you see how many requests you have left? It’s crazy to have such a strict limit over such a long duration and have no way to check that.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@engineers_feed No. If conveyor belt always matches the speed of wheels EXACTLY then as soon as the jets begin pushing the plane forwards the wheels would begin moving faster than the belt, causing the belt to immediately reach near infinite speed until axel friction cancelled thrust.

The problem with not posting for nine years is that whatever you say next is basically a decade-defining event. That said, I just had a delicious sandwich.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@UAPorbs @MickWest The balloon didn't move. He took a step to the left while turning his camera to the right so that the pole remained in frame. It's a parallax effect.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@thijsdemooij @framer Thanks for creating this package. I'm getting an error when including the code you provided. Any ideas?
'(min: any, max: any) => void' is not assignable to type '(event: FormEvent<HTMLDivElement>) => void'

@elonmusk On icy days, I’d like a “spin cycle” mode where the front wheels go in reverse and the rear wheels to go forward so I can spin it like a top out of hell.

[Steve Thorson @sthorson]

@MADEBYALLIES Gotta get those pre-ico bonuses! I expect to see a lot of these, where the nodes follow your mouse movements:

@JayFlorenceGA Asking for a third time. As a self-employed bread-winner, what are my family-of-5's options for insurance now that Aetna and BCBS have left?
