This is a video of chemical engineer James Orgill of The Action Lab producing what he’s dubbed dry slime — slime that has been mixed with fumed silica (available on Amazon — often used as a thickener and anticaking agent) so it forms strings that don’t want to stick to
This is a video of thrillseeker and paraglider instructor Hasan Kaval taking to the wild blue yonder on the custom sofa and television paragliding rig he built. I dare say the thrills Hasan was seeking were successfully located. Still, can you believe he forgot– “A safety harness?!” What? No —
