I love fireworks, but I totally think they should be limited to 2-3 nights a year max. Mainly I love the sparkles and pretty colours and shapes, I could do without the bangs. Especially the ones that are just bangs, or just flashbangs. What's the point? Fireworks would be the greatest things ever if when they went off they sounded like a small crowd going "yaaaaay!" or an orchestra hit, or like a scintillating synthesizer. |

Fireworks suck and shouldn't be available to the public. Neither should guns really. We get a few rounds of 1 or the other pretty regularly and they drive me and the dog nuts. |

Greetings from FUK City! I took a hike this morning behind my friend's apartment.      At the end of the hike we were messing around with our bamboo walking sticks acting like we were fighting with them, and I picked mine up, spun it around, grabbed the other side and loving chucked it away because there was a big ol' centipede on that end! Fortunately, it didn't bite me, but touching it was a bit unsettling. |

Hey BYOB, why am I awake this early? Why do I feel rested? This is a new, and strange situation. Even the cats seem surprised they didn't have to wake me up to get let out.

fireworks around me are limited to canada day, and maybe one of the long weekends in the summer as well, but are rare enough that i enjoy them. roomforthetuna posted:I wonder how feasible it would be to make reusable quiet fireworks using drones and lasers these days. this is a brilliant idea, especially if you rigged a small fog machine to each drones, or had a few dedicated fog disperses that the rest projected lights onto. apparently there's this terribly named company called dronisos that does a different style where i guess each drone is more akin to a pixel instead of mounting projectors?  it still looks pretty loving cool. the videos are something else. https://www.dronisos.com/videogallery

Drones with LEDs has been a thing for a while now and it is very cool. The London new year's display featured them pretty heavily. |

I've read a fair amount about the Heian era (both literature and essays/dissertations), so even knowing that not much remains intact from that time, I want to see what is there. But my health is too poor for much travel. Such is life. |

My favourite fireworks are the massive, sky filling golden chrysanthemums and kamuros. The huge golden glittery trails are amazing. Remember that game Fantavision for PS2? What a great game. Imagine a 4k remake on modern consoles. |

Aw sorry to hear that. Kyoto is lovely. Kyotoites have this rep. They're like the Parisians of Japan. It's kind of funny. If you ever are able to visit, let me know! I'd love to help in whatever dumb way I can! |

Now I'm thinking I wonder if you could do it with fewer, larger drones, trailing lightweight nets or strings of LEDs (not just dangling but like a drone at each end/corner). For a cheaper version of the same concept. Then, I guess you could just do a large black blimp-drone with LEDs on the side, and make all the expensive 'lift' part of the operation very cheap. At which point we could all just watch some fireworks on TV instead. |

There are "Swirls" at a place called Aqui, that are kind of like daiquiris but come in different flavors that change regularly (or like strongly alcoholic slushies). I was thinking the other day it's weird that they're not a thing all over Florida, where the weather is too hot and getting drunk is the only thing people do for fun, but then I realized that's probably exactly why they're not here, because basically everyone would die of alcohol poisoning the day the shop opened. |

Oh yeah, probably should have mentioned about swirls that Aqui tries to limit you to only one per person, or maybe two, I forget, because they're quite large and quite strong, is part of why the "people would die a lot" premise. They'd sell like crazy from a boat-bar at the boat-beach though. |

But the novelty of walking down a public street with a giant container of cocktail hanging off your neck is apparently so great that people are willing to pay exorbitant prices for margarita-flavored slushies. |
