I watch a lot of foreign language films, and read a lot of translated literature and I always try to imagine what I’m missing out on by not reading or taking in media in it’s original language....
One of my favorites is in Volver. The woman murders her husband and had to come to the door when a neighbor knocks. She has blood splattered on her face.
The English translation has her explain “I cut myself,” while the original Spanish is a much funnier “women’s troubles,” which better explains the confused look on the neighbor’s face.
I was thinking of Lady Miyako I think. I’m not a super big anime fan, I just remember a friend telling me about that when we saw it during a theater showing. In one of the American dubs, she has a man’s voice.
Classically, mirrors used silver metal, and black and white photographs used silver halide. So strictly speaking, a digital or even color film camera would work.
It might fall back on the actual images in that instance. Captchas are a lot more advanced now. The ones where you just click “I am not a robot” use cookies to track your browser history and make sure it looks organic. Identifying images alone has gotten too easy.
Just went down the aliexpress rabbit hole again. Theres really everythinf for some of really niche things that i wouldnt ever buy, but some things really do look appealing. I wonder what do you guys use daily thats worth lets say under $20
You shove a little metal bit into your soap bar, and the bar dangles from a magnet on a stand that holds it over the sink.
Soap dries quickly, no scum in the soap dish, any drippage falls right into the sink.
Only downside is the magnet falls out when the bar gets smaller, so you have to mash the old bar into the bottom of the new one to keep from wasting it.
what movie has the greatest turnaround. Like all hope is lost, people are fleeing or whatever, and something happens, then everyone rallies and of course wins the day....
Same here! It was during the MoviePass heyday, so basically once a week we’d eat dinner near the theater and go see whatever was playing. We were definitely pleasantly surprised.
Also, what do you think happens to your car when you replace it with an electric car? Do most people just drive their old cars into the ocean when they upgrade?
I’ve recycled old ram trimmings to recover 2.5g of gold for use in my fiancée’s engagement ring (wasn’t enough for the whole ring, but it’s the thought that counts.
If you do it right, the only byproducts are salt, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water.
Copper (II) chloride dissolves the copper and makes Copper (I) chloride. Mix with sulfuric acid and get CuSO4 and HCl. CuSO4 can have the copper plated out of it and get more sulfuric acid, and HCl can be mixed with Copper (I) chloride to recycle back into copper (II) chloride.
So you’re left with gold and other bits. You can dissolve the gold in a mixture of nitric and Hydrochloric acid to get chloroauric acid. Wash with water and you now have a beaker of gold in solution that looks like an alcoholic’s piss.
Then bubble in sulfur dioxide and you get gold, Hydrochloric acidic and sulfuric acid.
So if you play it right, it’s infinitely recyclable. You just need electricity and heat to keep recovering the waste materials.
The problem I mostly ran into was ending up with a shitload of HCl. The store bought stuff is 30%, but the best you can recover through distillation is 20%. It takes a LOT of baking powder to neutralize it.
The most dangerous is probably the sulfuric and nitric acid. Sulfuric acid has earned its nickname “oil of vitriol.” 99% sulfuric will burn through paper in seconds. Skin and paper have a lot in common. Didn’t play much with the nitric acid, but I’ve heard it’s angry. You really only need a small amount to help the hydrochloric acid dissolve the gold. Also sulfur dioxide is hella nasty smelling.
Nitric acid is the single hardest ingredient to get. I found a seller on eBay. I think you can make nitric acid with store bought chemicals though, but I never had to do that.
Other ingredients:
Hydrochloric acid - sold as concrete cleaner Sulfuric acid - sold (diluted) as battery acid. Easy to concentrate with a condenser. Unlike HCl, you can get like 99% purity through distillation. Copper Chloride - Drop some copper into a bath of hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide Sulfur Dioxide - Mix sodium metabisulfite with an acid. Sodium metabisulfite is commercially used in some food/beverage preservatives. I bought a bag of it of amazon that was marketed towards brewers. SO
