And because it swings at an upward angle in each direction it becomes self closing (while keeping a very simple mechanism). (2/2)
I believe the top hinge is normal. That means that the offset of the lower pivots means the gate swings at a slight angle up. (1/2)
I can't wait to see her climb more on rock. A stunning talent without question.

Not a wank.
This, this, this, a million times this! Thank you...
For me, still the holder of the most impressive El Cap feat. (Feet too - her footwork is stunning)
Entirely valid point. Laura Lux in the main post and Laci Kay in the gif in the comment.

Agreed. It's really well formed. He's not having to pump or check much to gain or lose speed. That said, he's riding it very smoothly.
Stay still, trunk - damn you!
I'm not sure what is done better and more thoroughly - the bathroom work or the layout of this post. Phenomenal job OP!
Ironically enough, I don't think paddles are being used in either of these pictures...
...just about showing off the control system (and impressing the folk who provided the funding). (3/3)
...fluid simulations are easy these days. However, accurate fluid simulations are still very hard. Pretty demos like this wave are (2/-)
It's probably not brand new, but physical testing is still a huge component of simulation work. Pretty visual simulations suggest that (1/-)
#9 That's either a very small boat or there's some photoshop happening. Blue whales are 30m long, not 300m long.
This might be the thing that saves print media...
The image on the laptop is along the lines of "If dogs wore trousers; would they look like this, or like this...?".
Aaarrrgh! Not as much as it now bugs me. I guess the breaking brakes broke my brain - throwing my thoughts like skiers from a chairlift. :-)
...don't always work if they are. Lifts in less wealthy resorts are often 2nd hand and not installed by the manufacturers. (2/2)
Ski lifts do have breaks - anti roll-back brakes to hold the system if the power fails. However, they're not always fitted and they... (1/-)
The top competition ones come from Ailsa Craig. A tiny island on the west coast of Scotland. www.kayscurling.com/ailsa-craig-granite.html
Orkney (islands off the north coast) can be a good place for Orca in May. Not super high odds of seeing them (or baskers) but good luck. (3)
...if you're lucky. That time of year, they're migrating north past Scotland. Similar areas to the baskers but more offshore normally... (2)
Anywhere on the west coast really but particularly around the islands (Mull, Skye, etc). May is a good time for them, but also Orca... (1)
Fun fact (extended): If you listened to the Undisclosed podcast that followed on from Serial... ...you've likely heard far too much of her.
And for that... ...it's all the better a comment.
It's like the op said, "...he started to understand the concept of the game" - in truth, the whole concept of dog. :-)
