AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a viral video showcasing an impressive water trick, raising questions about its physical feasibility. Skepticism is expressed regarding the behavior of the water as it flows from the cup, suggesting that it may not be achievable in reality. The presence of other animated content on the creator's channel further fuels doubts about the authenticity of the trick. Ultimately, participants conclude that the trick is not physically possible, hinting at the likelihood of it being a magician's illusion rather than a genuine demonstration of fluid dynamics.

Amazing water trick?? Is this physically possible??

But still, even if it is possible to do this using a stickier substance, it would still be very cool!

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
