East European guy trying to keep a family afloat in Western Europe. Currently sells artsy books to folks. Android/Anime/Taiji/Cartoon/Japan geek. Too old.
I need to rewatch Memories, what an amazing technical feat.
From: Cannon Fodder (1995), dir. Katsuhiro Otomo, Studio 4°C
This film was designed to flow without hard cuts -- the camera just goes and goes and goes

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

I presented the family with the Monty Hall Problem. Son said he's heard about it, but forgot the solution, sat down and calculated the odds.
Wife said she doesn't get it, she needed some explanation and thinking time to decypher the math.
Daughter said Monty can keep the car, she wants the goat.
