I'd say it's used semi frequently in skate photography. Typically a close shot with a wide lens. The tilt might be to realign the viewer with the skaters body position and show the extreme angle of the trick.

Yup. And the ability to feel nothing was a super power.

This has just made me wonder what the distance around the coastline of this land mass is and how long it would take to travel it via various means.

I hear they permanently implanted a contact mic in her nuckles so the audience can feel like they are the sternum itself.

I'm a daily rider/commuter by motorcycle and I'd love to get an electric bike. I don't think I'd miss shifting gears at all, but (and I've been thinking about this) I think I'd like to have some kind of electric "clutch" that doesn't work at all like a regular clutch but performs a similar function. In this case it would adjust the throttle map. Clutch full in = throttle does nothing. Clutch full out = aggressive or linear throttle map. I have not actually ridden any of the high end e-motos to know if this is necessary, but in my mind I would miss the ability to feather the clutch.

Looks like a scene from the music video for Dashboard by Modest Mouse. Very cool!

Generally I try to have a creative, hands-on project on the go. Lately that's been rebuilding a guitar, but it could be designing something on the computer.

Otherwise; playing guitar, gardening, practice putting (disc golf). So I guess hobbies.

This was the info I was interested in.

Finely ground (espresso) coffee grounds were dried in the sun and then sifted. Then mixed with binders (xanthan gum and carboxymethyl cellulose powders) and water. These are printed in a modified consumer grade fdm 3d printer using a syringe instead of the hot end. The resulting material is claimed to be as strong as unreinforced concrete, but is biodegradable.

The hairpin(ish) bend in Yarra Boulevard ain't bad. Probs most scenic, twisty road that close to the city.

Is there a blog/social media page type thing for alternative sports/activities in Melbourne? Where they might review the sport, what's involved and the culture etc. Seems like there are a lot on offer in Melbourne, but no out there trying them all and documenting it(?) Thinking things like axe throwing, Trugo, larping, bike polo, roller derby and so on.

Following sports. Being a die hard sports fan is time consuming and stressful. Obviously betting on sports is an addiction people talk about now, but even tipping comps and fantasy football type leagues are things that rob you of time and energy.
