Q as I am not an engineer my head works in mysterious ways. Why does it need a computer. I would think a free hanging like a wire inside a holder would work the same. There are products that escape my mind right now that do that....like a weeble I don't know why I thought of that lol. Not really like that but I hope you can read my mind.

I think the computer calculates how to counteract each tremor with an opposite movement to keep it stable. A weeble only has to stand upright - this thing needs to move in a zillion ways as the tremors can be all over the map.

Edit: Similar tech to the Segway. I remember the hype leading up to that announcement was unbelievable. I was so disappointed ... you would have thought they were going to unveil a personal flying saucer or something from the incredible pre-launch build up.

I know there are things that are like that on a piece of metal or something...like a counter balance but your hand is one piece of the weight. When and if I remember I will tell. Brain fart is lasting a long time.

It probably uses gyroscopes to sense imbalance, but they are all monitored by a computer which sends out commands to counterbalance.

Yes that is what I was thinking of. My son just showed me with his helicopter how that piece on top above the blade which is not really run by anything stays level.

Duck fans, and the ladies (I'm lookin' at you mom . . .

Oh look out for #6 De'Anthony Thomas . . .

That device looks like it could really help me, but at the price of 3 Vapolution 2.0s I don't know that I can justify it. No soup for me.

Insurance should cover such devices, I would hope.

Edit: Please disregard my naive statement.

It's not your fault. I wish insurance companies would cover more stuff. They sure love to take premiums.

Sorry t-dub, but is "Ducks" seriously the name of a football team and not a bad Emilio Estevez movie? I know I'm totally out of it when it comes to football. They better be one bad-ass team with a name like that. ... like "A Boy Named Sue".

I missed the boat when it came to the gross ethnic food posts the other day, so I'll throw in my entry now ... from Germany (of course):

Read this before making any snap decisions!

And I loved Big Little Books! The flip cartoons in the corner... the whole experience. I felt very literary reading those compared to the normal comics. These too...

Weird food... right now, there is a tongue in my crockpot. Beef tongue.

It may not be the weirdest thing I'll have eaten in my life, but it was certainly weird to handle, wash, and then cram into the crockpot.

I have been feeling guilty for eating meat for a while, and recently decided to start with beef. No more beef for me, ever. I'll start with beef and work my way from there. I just cried and cried when I saw this video. :cry:

Oh God Enchantre....... I just had a deja vu of when I was a teenager and came home, looked in the pot to see what was for dinner and when I opened the lid of the pot there was this huge tongue lolling around in boiling water....

Now I realize that to some this is a delicacy.... but it turned me into a vegetarian for the next 2 years.....

I can see maybe living on a farm and having to feed a large brood ... not wanting to waste a scrap ... but voluntarily?!

BTW, I have a similar story to motg's. I saw a brain in a jar at a science fair in the 3rd grade and couldn't eat soggy cereal for the longest time after that.

:rofl:

What is wrong with me tonight? That reminds me of when I was in grade school and i made a girl at my lunch table throw up because I told her the holes in her swiss cheese were made by mice....

Still don't understand why that got me into trouble. :shrug:
