Oh thanks for this! I had the same question and assumed the Omega branding and Olympic rings were superimposed onto the image; I never assumed it would actually be an animated advertisement timed perfectly to match the runners' pace!

I recently started using CPAP and one thing I noticed in the sleep study, besides all the other reasons it was hard to fall asleep, was that when they were doing the titration test to find the best initial pressure, they set it very low and

They are typically superimposed yes. It's extraordinarily easy with football, the field is essentially a premade green screen with completely standardized index points (the yard markers). What's funny is what happens when it start

I was imagining a standard 3D lattice of struts that could be configured however you want - as equipment mounts, wall studs, etc. They don't need to take too much load so the lattice itself could even be modular in my mind.

I think you missed the comment that GP was responding to. They were responding to a claim that if masks only protect the virus from escaping, then masks only protect the selfish population.

If masks only protect the virus from escaping and not entering, then wearing a mask protects non-mask-wearers and other mask-wearers the same.

I think having some level of gravity is important for the simplicity of it. With a downward force it acts somewhat like a velodrome. You start angled upwards and as you gain centripetal force you gradually go more and more horizontal. Theor

Oh, don't get me wrong, I am absolutely astounded by the JWST's level of detail and am in awe of the pictures it takes. And they are obviously far more detailed than the OP's. I also think it was a worthy expense. I was just
