You mean the kind zeuzzz got hiz shroomz from?

JO 753 · Post by **JO 753** » Sun Aug 26, 2018 7:28 am

It wuz a pretty good job all around. I wunder if the audiens wuz in on it?

I luv the show, but hav notist a few thingz they do to make it more exciting.

The audiens sound iz at least haf dubbed in. They add more commentary from Matt and Akbar in editing. And I suspect that they sumtimez shuffle the order uv the contestant's runz, kuz its almost alwayz the most interesting at the end. They can do that to sum degree by knowing their abilityz very well, but it seemz they get it rite too reliably to be the actual order uv events.

Even tho it detracts from the authentisity, it duznt bug me at all.

I remember thoze commercialz.

So, you mean he wuznt really 103 and hopped up on meth and died after filming the 3rd commercial?

We all died after he filmed the 3rd commercial. Inside, I mean. A little bit.

The biggest tip off that it wuz fake iz that it wuz never in the brodcast show.

They dont show every run, but this woud hav been so over the top amazing that they woud haf to show it.

They hav had a few geezerz run just az a novelty. They never get very far. The oldest serious contestants are in their mid 50z and aje gets to be a tokking point in the late 30z. In the 1st episode uv the Vegas finalz on Monday, Travis Rozen (43) broke hiz ankle. Its probably not aje related tho, kuz that obstacle nokt out a bunch uv contestants.

No reason to declare it a fake. I've seen nicer snow sculptures.

C'mon JO - I'd recognise those breasts as your handiwork even if it was in Antarctica.

TJrandom · Post by **TJrandom** » Sun Feb 03, 2019 7:37 am

But does it have a naval?

JO 753 · Post by **JO 753** » Sun Feb 03, 2019 10:27 am

Yes, a slite depresion at the navel area.

Yes, I made her.

You need a medium size spade, tape measure, a few stiks with sharp, small, medium and larj radius endz, a few templates, a spray bottle uv water, snow and a thermometer.

1. Look at your thermometer.

2A. If its 20 f or lower, take a picture uv the area you want your anjel to be.

3A. Find a picture uv an anjel and uze Fotoshop to plase her (or him I suppoze, but that just seemz weird to me) in the area, subtracting the color and toning it with a sample uv the surrounding snow. The perspectiv function iz essential unless the pik iz already close to the required angle. Alternativly, if you happen to be frendz with an anjel, you coud hav her poze, but then wy not just hav her lie in the snow for a real foto?

2B. If its between 20 & 32, be sure to hav about 8 owrz uv uninterupted time to allow for warm-up breaks. You dont want to do haf the job wun day and find the next morning that the racoonz trampled it all to hell befor you finished and took the pix.

3B. Lay the wing template down and trace it deep with a stick, then do the same with the body template. Shape the wingz first and mist them with the water to solidify the surfase. Then pile snow into the body area and shape it, solidifying it with the water.

TJrandom · Post by **TJrandom** » Sun Feb 03, 2019 10:33 am

I have it on good authority that you made the tits first.

Is it a mammal or a bird? It can't be both. It's obviously a female suckling it's young, as in all mammals (except humans) the mammary glands only appear when they are nursing young. If they are birds, the beaks would not be able to suckle and could cause injury to the mammary glands. They would also add weight, making flying more difficult. The legs are much thicker and heavier than bird legs, and in combination with the extra arms, they add more weight and it seems doubtful that such a creature could manage to become airborne for long, if at all.

Methinks JO had an ear worm and to excise it he took to sculpture. I can't blame him, as I'd have gone bonkers too if it came back over and over again.

The inspiration wuz a frend segjesting I jump in the snow naked and make a standard issue snow anjel in wich you just move your armz & legz to make it sorta look like wingz. A joke really, bekuz it wuz below 0 at the time.

The theory behind the ANJeLENU karakter that theze are based on iz that you woud be able to look like wutever you wanted if therez such a thing az Heaven, Lance. So naturally, many women asending to this uber paradise woud want to be much more curvacious than iz natural here in this mean & dirty restrictiv plain uv reality.

Herez a paje that haz the ANJeLENU picture uzed for the SNO ANJL: http://www.nqalf.com/GATKEPRZ.html

I am lerning sumthing about imaj data.

If you rite klik on a pik you can get info about it. The date it wuz taken, wen it wuz last modified, wut computer it wuz stored on. There iz even detailed info about the camera and the settingz for that foto.

Wut suprized me iz that there duznt seem to be anything about the modificationz.

I assumed it woud all be there bekuz the thumnailz for Fotoshopt piks are usually the orijinal untouched version. Its how they are wen I view them from a thum drive on a TV, DVD player, DVR etc. and in Win7.

But now I see that in Win7 only 2 uv the abuv SNO ANJL piks are the orijinl and only at the small & medium thumnail size. Wen you chanj to larj or extra larj they are the fake version.

Here on this Google Krome terminal you dont get any thumnail choisez. Its a small srkl that often makes it hard to see wut it iz no matter wut. In this case its showing the modified version uv SNO ANJL 1S, you cant tell with 2S & 3S and with 4S it showz the orijinal BUT the modified that I saved from the abuv post az 4SB! Also, there iznt any rite-klik data function.

How duz it work with Macintosh computerz?

I thot the computer geeks here woud see they were fakes immediatly and the game woud be over az soon az they got tired uv seeing the nonprofessionalz falling for it. Now I'm not sure.

They're both completely irrelevant. These "behavior experts" like Historians and most experts in general can state a truth that applies over a body of statistics but have no relevance to any particular instance. Its why they can be honestly hired to support any position you want.

Its pop culture science: aka: not reliable, a waste of time to consider.

I don't use the same filter you're using. I believe that their opinions have some significance, whether it's conclusive or not.

I am blocked from seeing any video. Maybe it has been taken down? But besides the other link provided by scrmbldggs, I saw some good recent docs about the issue of the two major technologies being used that can replace voice and video images dynamically with exceptionally convincing outcomes. The company that made the voice tech allow us to go to their site to try it but have a means to prevent others from using other people's voice for a 'print' (sufficient sample for the AI in the program to provide a useful mimicking). The program though can be used for your own voice though to demonstrate.

See Lyrebird

The video mimicking software has a sample using President Obama: Using AI to fake convincing video of real people
