Try trying to not let this camera go to waste

Thanks @airasia was able to snap this cool photo on the way to #thailand #mtfuji

Just found this in a moving box, what kind of lates fees am I looking at here?

@2024dion We can build anything we desire. Car centric life is in the way of massive public transit innovation.

People say American cities can’t build infrastructure but Atlanta has a fully automated subway with platform screen doors and 90 second headways that serves a quarter million trips a day. It’s just in their airport.

@AlBuffalo2nite These are the hard core facts the algorithm is trying to take from us!

🚨People watching this think it looks fake… It isn’t. That is a real F-22 Raptor performing an unrestricted climb. This maneuver is something only a handful of aircraft on Earth can do. When the pilot rotates and goes straight up like that, the aircraft is converting pure engine thrust into vertical climb. The reason it can do it comes down to the engines. The F-22 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 turbofan engines. Each engine produces about 35,000 pounds of thrust with afterburner. Combined thrust: About 70,000 pounds. Now compare that to the aircraft’s weight. Typical combat weight: ≈ 64,000 pounds That means the Raptor has a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 1:1. In simple terms… The engines produce more thrust than the aircraft weighs. That allows the jet to accelerate vertically. And it gets even crazier. The engines use two-dimensional thrust-vectoring nozzles, allowing the exhaust to tilt up and down to maintain control even when airflow over the wings is minimal. Top speed ≈ Mach 2.25 (about 1,700 mph) Supercruise ≈ Mach 1.5 without afterburners Service ceiling ≈ 65,000 feet Only about 183 operational F-22s were ever built. Which means when you see a Raptor do this climb… You’re watching one of the most advanced air-dominance fighters ever created. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

@turntineforwhat Can’t argue with people that don’t respect legendary artist. Same crew of people that would be laughing at Basquiat’s haircut

Y'all mocking his outfit in the replies but this is his signature style. Buddy Guy has said that he wears polka dots as a tribute to his late mother, and overalls to honor his sharecropper parents. He is the eldest of five children and he grew up picking cotton in Louisiana

@NoContextHumans As an engineer I always like to compare it to something that we can fathom. A wing is just a sail turned sideways. Big fan make air flow faster over than under. Flow make lift. Lift make flight. Bringing it down is the coolest part cause landing is just like a controlled drop.

I’ll still never understand how something this big can fly…

@Gilbert_Belion They looking rad as hell

If Range Rovers are so unreliable, why do people still buy them?

I have no clue why I snapped this shot. Just thought it looked interesting #Japan

I’ll try to share more of my #photography on here in a more regular basis. There is a lot of stuff going on right now and I don’t have a solution. What I do have are a lot of cameras so I hope through them I can at least make a couple of you #smile

Some randoms from Fussa #japan

@MavNoir It was a great time to be an adolescent with parents that only cared you made it home in one piece.

What I wouldn’t give to have seen this on the big screen back in 99.

@expiredfilmclub The amount of anxiety I would have expecting them to deny the hand inspection 😂

TSA truly hates to see me coming

@HawkEmDownChris Wade Boggs

Age yourself by naming an MLB third baseman you grew up watching. I’ll start: Chipper Jones.

@TheCinesthetic What’s crazy is Tom Savini was and is still alive.

Bad CGI rarely gets more famous than the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns (2001), an early digital attempt at recreating Dwayne Johnson that quickly became one of the most talked-about effects misfires of the era.

@TonyDaDome Life’s a Bitch by Nas and AZ

What is your “go to” rap song? Please only share one song. Mine is “Lyrics to Go” by A Tribe Called Quest.🔥

@gothamhiphop Agreed

This beef robbed us of some amazing music

@waltonoemi @MarioNawfal @grok From a technical aspect the battery - reactor is a classic engineering tradeoff. Batteries are quiet but have a defined recharging cycle. A reactor may produce more (noise) but can be operated without charging for very long periods of time before refueling.

@MarioNawfal How does nuclear reactor give away a nuclear sub underwater? @grok

🇩🇪🇮🇷 Germany won't escort ships through Hormuz. Won't host US offensive aircraft. Won't join the war. But they do operate 6 of the quietest submarines on earth. The Type 212A runs on hydrogen fuel cells. No nuclear reactor. No need to surface for weeks. Virtually silent. Undetectable to most sonar. Armed with heavyweight torpedoes and capable of diving beyond 700 meters. Stealthier than most nuclear subs. Without the nuclear reactor that gives them away. Germany is sitting this war out publicly while quietly possessing the exact weapon that would make Iran's navy very nervous. @DI313_

@Divegod Custom skin

how would you react if your kids do this to your ps5?

@S1apSh0es Lots of great answers here. Whats even cool is with modern post processing and editing you can recreate that lighting effect.

Was it a film effect or did we do something to interior lighting where we don’t get that green glow from the windows anymore?

@unsatMIDN The compression on the crest is wild. You just know that bad boy has 10oz cotton with the sweat of many wild man runs pouring through it.
