Omg, I don't know how I've lived so long without having these HEB frozen hashbrown patties
I still don't quite understand Blur Busters' algorithm, but I've made some observations on how it behaves. There is a chromatic effect in motion, similar to what I described by separating each frame into different colors. Also, the dark parts of each frame have visible bright pixels. So the algorithm is able to find bright pixels and sample them over multiple frames and somehow, not lose motion clarity. I suppose that works because blurred pixels tend to be darker? Not quite sure.
I discovered that, if you take a video feed, separate each frame into different color channels, you will get a cool chromatic effect. With a shader implementing BFI, you can sacrifice a little bit of clarity for brightness this way. It's rather interesting, but this still doesn't get nearly as bright and clear as the Blur Buster's CRT algorithm. I swear, they did some black magic to make it so bright.
It's been a long time since the Spurs were in the finals. I'm just not invested enough to be excited. I do remember when they actually won the finals, I think 2007, and going out with my brothers driving around the block to celebrate.
Randomly remembered learning the word "slanted" in elementary school, and when the teacher asked "what can be slanted?" I answered, "your face". That's when I learned that, maybe, I didn't have it so great at home. It turns out, telling your kids they look weird is actually kind of harmful, not a cool thing to do.
I didn't have a lot of bullies in school, just at home.
I've been experimenting with shaders on OBS, while it's not perfect, you can do some interesting things with OBS that you can't with something like ReShade. ReShade can't execute per refresh cycle, it can only do per rendered frame. OBS allows you to capture an input and reproject that input at a higher framerate. So, if you have a 120, 165 or 240 hz display, you can use a custom shader in OBS to add black frame insertion or CRT beam simulation to literally anything.
So, thinking about a comparison for what the worst case scenario would have been, that tank was essentially a massive 7000 gallon pressure cooker. The Boston Marathon bombing involved pressure cooker bombs, which I'm guessing were around 1-2 gallons in volume. So imagine an explosion, over 3000 times larger. It's hard to comprehend just how big that explosion would have been, but they did at least show a map with the estimated blast radius. I assure you, that red zone was the kill zone.
Oh I also heard that MMA loses volume as it solidifies, so while the liquid is subject to thermal expansion, the solid decreases in volume which would also act to slow the increase in pressure inside the tank. Several factors at play that kept that shit form just absolutely wrecking shit.
I also think, the temperature gauge likely only went up to 100 C. They never actually said what the units on the gauge were, but I highly doubt it was 100 F. That was a massive 7000 gallon pipe bomb waiting to go off. It's kind of crazy that it never did tbh.
I was utterly fascinated by this Garden Grove chemical incident. I'm not 100% sure the way they described the events as they occurred is really correct though. The tank housing the MMA was insulated, so there were several layers surrounding it, which, under thermal expansion, would put pressure on the internal layers. When the outer layer cracked, it allowed for the internal layers to expand and equalize internal pressure. That means that internal layer expanded quite significantly.
