I saw an absolutely fascinating video some time ago.
It's a tour of a modern nuclear submarine (US), including when it it traveling and navigating below the ice sheet in the Arctic. I also thought it was very interesting to hear various members of the crew getting interviewed. And it's interesting from a technological viewpoint too, of course, submarines are quite impressive vehicles.

I also saw another submarine clip, which was about when a Swedish small, silent submarine "sank" a US carrier during wargames (!). Never underestimate us Swedes!

Heh, I started this thread 14 years ago. Hard to imagine that!

But I can imagine this and am planning to do it soon.

Very impressive lightning strike on water. Very cool!

It's cool. . . but it's not a lightning strike. .

Haha, I figured they didn't fake the water effects. Didn't think about that being real but the lightning being fake.

Fake? I'm no expert, but I would expect detcord to flash.

I am not certain that the authors of the detcord article linked above researched the ratio of the foot to the meter rigorously. One to five seems a bit off.It looks to be industry practice.

I just saw a very funny clip with Hugh Jackman. He is not only a good actor, he is very funny too...
Here he fools around with an interviewer who is a former student of his:

"I'm not a cat."

According to CBS News this morning, the lawyer was using his secretary's computer. Her daughter had used Zoom on it shortly before, and forgot to turn off the cat filter. They also noted that despite the warning in the upper-left panel, this clip was released by the judge, so it's legal.

I posted this clip a while ago in the "Our Beautiful Universe" thread in the Astronomy Forum, and I hope I can be forgiven for posting it here too.

It is not everyday you watch a clip of a craft from Earth landing on another planet, filmed live.
I wanted to post it here too, to give people who are not following the other thread a chance to see this spectacular video.

Wall Street Bets: the Documentary

Speaking of career building...

I saw a couple of "best of" Saturday Night Live skits last weekend. Many of them were great.
Two of my favorite SNL comedians are Bill Hader and Kate McKinnon, but in this skit Adam Driver really shines as an oil baron giving career advice to school kids:

Career Day - SNL
I also saw a hilarious skit where Kate McKinnon plays one of three persons having been abducted by aliens. She is so funny that the others are having a really hard time keeping a straight face :

Close Encounter - SNL
And here's a great one where Bill Hader shines :
