Because you can never have too high a resolution of a good thing, Youtuber Nick Acosta is in the process of upscaling the 1978 classic Star Wars Holiday Special to 4K resolution. This is a trailer of the special featuring that upscaling. It’s pretty remarkable considering most copies of the
This is a video of a Russian mechanic demonstrating his very impressive custom flamethrower headlights. They throw flames pretty damn far too! Those must be the high-beams. My God, these are exactly what I’ve been missing my whole life. I don’t even own a car, just install them directly into

This is a video of musician Charles Berthoud, who apparently shreds so hard he shredded the other three strings right off his electric bass, putting the remaining string to good use with this impressive single-string solo. Not bad, but I can even take it a step further and perform a
