US has some of the worst, or rather a severe lack of, civil engineering.

Bonus: "It's not about the dynamic range, it's all about conditions. You should go to the forest where is snow on every surface. You can get quite nkce quality video even with a phone cos it's such bright. All of my videos are based on the exact conditions, not for tricks or editing. Well, I also need good camera, but there is some good enough in the market."

That problem is solved by the bright full moon and the snow that reflects its light. Of course the lighting in the video was edited in post. Whether it was done utilising AI tools, not necessarily. As a bonus, I'll add a quote the OP's comment on Instagram. Take it at face value or don't. 2/2

It wasn't too hard to track down the source: https://youtube.com/shorts/5PRC7Z">voyTI">https://youtube.com/shorts/5PRC7ZvoyTI or https://www.instagram.com/p/DEut1Y5stkr/

The performance of modern high end cameras can be surprisingly good in low light conditions. Also, stars (and planets) are not really a problem. Big and/or "nearby" stars are bright, so the few you can see on the video are realistic compared to the multitudes you'd see in a long exposure image. The more difficult thing is not under exposing the surroundings. 1/2

I enable 2FA on almost all my accounts that support it. Only 2FA that has ever annoyed me is the one for my uni, because one session only lasts something like 24 hours. Sure, the session can get stolen, but the services I use daily don't really have any important personal data.

Ikr! Was a disappointing unmute.

So that's where I heard the name before!

The planes shown on the video? They are not burning much. They either already did or they are about to...

That would be because they use radar altimeter for approach (and autolanding).

Better to do it at a parking lot than in traffic, since most drivers don't leave sufficient safety distance. I've done it a couple of times when leaving a parking lot after switching between my own manual and parent's automatic car. Luckily never in traffic so far...

It isn't really necessary with a small pot either. You put it halfway in for a minute or two and it softens enough to gently curve it against the side to get it in the pot fully.

There's even a server discovery page within the app itself where you can join public servers, some of which have millions of members.

The last one he pointed at? It says entrance. You can see the Finnish sign for it, while the Swedish one (ingång) is partly blocked by his head.

All mutations in pugs are natural, too. If you want an unnatural mutation, you need genetic engineering, and I highly doubt that has been used to create your traditional dog or cat breeds.

These days some of those rich people mess around with home addresses to get their children into a "better" school district.

I'm fairly confident this clip is from Finland. The nights are short in the summer, which means the hedgehogs become active in the evening before the sunset.

Whopping 30 mins. I'm afraid to start it.

To me that just sounds like a way to not dream at all, because my brain would be too busy mulling over stuff for me to ever fall asleep.

That would just be deserved. What I'm concerned about is wild animals getting used to being fed by humans and put in danger because of it.

Traffic in Panama Canal is slowing down as well, because drought is lowering the water level in the artificial lake, which is used both to fill the canal locks, and as a source of drinking water. To avoid crisis they need to limit the number of boats that pass through the canal daily. I believe the number has been slashed in half already.

Haha, yes! Highfive for that, neighbour. Luckily you have us, depressed Finnish people with guns, as a buffer.

OP just discovered him is my guess. Four posts by them about James Fridman on FP.

There is? I know the general view is that Americans are somewhat extreme on modesty — in the meaning of not being naked around anyone but sexual partners, definitely not in the other meaning of the word — but I can't say I have heard a common saying.

Max has some strict parents. He's grounded all the time.
