Not knowing a thing about cricket, is the frood that the ball went over his head or that the guy seemingly rolled his ankle pretty bad?

The ball's not meant to go over his head, yes. But look closer at his foot.

I know nothing about football besides the people in charge hate goal celebrations and by extension fun, what's so bad about that coin flip? I'm on my phone at work with no Wi-Fi, can't load the gif worth a drat.

My phone plan has unlimited data, so it's not intolerable. Gets slow as gently caress after the first 500mb, though :shepface: so no Photoshop/gif threads til i get home.

So wait is the coin actually not flipping or is it just flipping in phase with the camera's framerate? It looks like it's kinda jittery, so I'm thinking maybe the latter.

That's a hell of a thumb on the guy to get the coin spinning fast enough to sync with a slow-mo camera.

The coin did not flip. They redid the toss afterwards, and it flipped then. The Cardinals won both times.

edit: the coins they use look friggin' huge and heavier than normal coins, so I can understand why it wouldn't flip if you accidentally hit it in the center when you try to flip it.

That doesn't look like actual slo-mo, just a slowed down normal broadcast. So you're talking 24 fps, or maaaybe like 60 fps on the high end. And remember it only has to flip "half" as much as the frame rate since the coin will be horizontal twice in a 360 rotation.

It was to promote a program where teenagers volunteer to help shovel snow for old people.I guess they couldn't find a real old person but wanted to visually demonstrate the concept of one.

It's really mind-boggling. Is a volunteer snow-shoveling program controversial enough that you need to fake support for it?

quote:

Meanwhile, a hair salon owner told WJAR-TV that she unwittingly supplied the wig for the caper to David Roberts, the van driver who transports seniors to the salon. Roberts did not immediately return a message left at his work.

"He says to me, 'Elaine, do you have a wig that I could borrow? I have to get dressed as a senior,'" Elaine Mancuso told the station. She later realized why he wanted it.

"I said, 'Oh, my God. He wanted it for that.' I probably would have given him a better wig if I had known."
