    The intake or the umbrella?

    Seriously, though, great job shaking the umbrella to disguise the fact that the blower's not on. It even distracts the eye a little from noticing that he's slowing down while his filmer buddy re-matches speed.

    This is definitely the year to watch Monk.

    Someone changed the soundtrack



    I didn't notice it the first time around, but that's an electric leaf blower without the cord connected.

    It's also on an electric skateboard. Haha. Look closely.

    That's what I was thinking so it's obviously wrong.

    Yeah, I saw the skateboard battery the first time I watched it, but wanted to see where the thread went.

    If you look closely, it's just a cord behind the handle

    Physics

    I’ll say again, it was in the NY Post, right between a story on a 52,000 year old pig and proof Covid is a hoax that was started by Arlo Guthrie in a lab in Norway. How are you still questioning the maths?

    Science, people. Science.

    Looks like we've exposed this guy for a fraud. Good work everyone!

    Just goes to show you have to be better than this to fool the TGR's

    Oh, we're jumping right to that huh?

    I thought we'd wrap up the treadmill thing first.

    Oddly enough, I thought about fusion today as I was contemplating the 700+ hp Dodge SRT Hellcat that passed me on the way to the office this AM. I wondered if there would ever be a day when an automobile could be powered by a thimble sized fusion reactor?

    How long after flipping you off as it passed you did it take to find itself stranded on a jersey wall?

    The roads were wet so he was driving cautiously.

    I skipped to the end and noticed he didn't end up in the wall. That must be in the next video.

    Yeah, probably. Just saying, the (mostly cancelled out within the system, and generally scattered, and weak to begin with) force from the (let's assume powered and functioning) leafblower with inefficient force deflector would be exerting some kind of small net force vector external to the system, and it's at least possible that said vector would contribute some tiny amount to forward motion (very likely slightly opposing forward motion instead though). Obviously, the observed motion comes from something other than the leafblower.

    Is he from FL too?

    FL makes whatever weird shit was going on at DD's mom's house look completely normal.

    This. And exactly what I was going to post until I saw The Suit chime in.
