Scratch art is terrifying. I've only done it a couple of times. Your stuff really looks great. I love the feeling of water captured by how you did the waves.
The way I learned to make friends in new places was to stop caring about trying to organize with people to do activities, and instead to just go places and do activities as a solo person. I have met a lot of people at various activities and become friends. It is easy when the shared activity provides the natural ice breaker.
It is a little uncomfortable to do this at first, but it works. Now when I travel I feel no hesitation to go into new places and talk with people.
That's even less functional, and is to my thinking not even close to enough on its own to hand out tickets, as some people think this will be used for.
I want to like his videos, but I've bounced off because his speech pattern has the energy of a middle schooler receipting his book report in front of the class. I can't listen to that for extended periods.
On its own to convict? Probably no. If the technology is hypothetically successful introduced and it pings to police, all they'd need to do is follow a route to the self-snitching vehicle and hit it with some of their own radar or lidar, then pull over the driver.
The unusual factor at the Olympic level is that he both chose not to wear a blinder and not to close his eye. This means he was getting visual input from both eyes, that as you noted he had to block out mentally.
When shooting is down to the millimeter, all of this is important. This is the exact opposite of practical shooting, where you want a large field of view, or potentially an occluded eye effect to aim in some cases. (Cover the front of a red dot and then aim with both eyes open for a test of occluded aiming. Your brain will overlay the dot from the shooting eye and the target from the weak side eye and you will be able to aim. It will not be down to the millimeter accurate however, which matters within the abstract environment of target shooting.)
Both eyes open is great for the real world. Olympic target shooting is a very different animal. Don't think of it like normal shooting. Situational awareness is not a factor. Unlike practical shooting, tunnel vision is desired. Most shooters wear blinders to obscure the off side eye. On the aiming eye they often wear special glasses. They are focusing on absolutely lining up the physical sights, there are no optics in Olympic pistol shooting.
For comparison, this is what a more conventional Olympic headgear setup looks like.
Yes the hand in pocket is pretty common in Olympic shooting. Unfortunate that it was part of the list as it undercuts the rest of the valid observations unusualness of the setup and success.
This shooter was much more casual than most. Most shooters will line up with special highly stable, but strange looking stances.
It's Japanimation.
