Brings to mind the OK GO music video with all the exploded guitars that they stated were already junk. Spilled paint is reminiscent of their videos too.

They also smashed pianos in the Rube Goldberg video, and a TV with a sledge. Now I wonder if that was a 1984 reference.

OK GO did it in artistic expression (with a message of "be excellent to each other" even), not in a promise to destroy the concept of art.


Sledgehammering a little TV was done in the video for Gary Numan - We Are Glass which predates the 1984 ad, which supposedly led to the video being banned from Top of the Pops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWR8vitO6wQ&t=67


For the bridge only, Marti also made a more sufferable cut in German, that is on the OP channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJLX3C0eg3g)

The segue from CG is much more sensible

That's a lot of hot pixels for base ISO! Could be the focus stacking intensified them.

That camera can actually get a bit more resolution out of sensor movements, though the lens might be at its limit already, or focus was still a little off. edit: it's probably the glovebox glass.


a weaker method is to set a non-default HISTFILE after HISTSIZE etc

(re: dead comment 39066268) I'm now very interested in what Reiser would think of the present state of the (semantic) web. (edit: i.e, the thought experiment, realized: transplant someone just a few years in time --- what gradual changes would they uniquely observe?)


‹‹‹ "What a camera actually shows is its processor's reconstruction of objects based on input provided by the sensor — not the actual light received by its sensor."

btw xterm has a hack for editors without mouse support – turn clicks into the right number of movement key presses,

  uxterm -xrm '*VT100.translations: #override !<Btn1Down>: vi-button() readline-button()'
