Little Piggy High Altitude Balloon Flight Raw Video Pt 12 TheTTguy 2023-08-04 | This is a mirror of a video that used to be available from the Christopher Farms channel youtube.com/IndianaCaver (AKA IndianaCaver).Excerpts from this video are used by flat-earthers to claim that high altitude balloon photos show a flat horizon. But flat-earthers are dishonest because they cherry pick from a section in the video where the horizon looks flat and ignore sections where it looks convex and other sections where it looks concave. I am posting a copy I had of the full Pt12 video I had on my hard drive from April 2017. I think it is useful to have the full video available so it can be shown that this video is of no use in deciding the shape of the horizon since the shape is not consistent in this video.Balloon Bursts at 6:00 min and after this time you can observe how the lens is distorting the image severely.
Curved Horizon From Plane 2400m High - there you go Mark Sargent TheTTguy 2023-08-02 | Flat Earther Mark Sargent said he wanted to see curved horizon photo taken from a plane. Well I have one of those that I took from flight JQ848 11:25am 11/6/2023. Update: I found his email and I sent Mark the image.Update2: Mark replied to my email with no text - just a single attachment of a portion of the "little piggy" high altitude balloon footage. The footage is from a go pro camera where the shape of the horizon varies from concave to convex depending on where the horizon is in frame. Mark chose a short section where the horizon is at the spot in the frame where the lens removes the horizon curve.If you want to see more of the Little Piggy video see - Losing Your Ride at 121,000 Feet - A Preview from the Christopher Farms channelyoutube.com/watch?v=vri24NZQ0gs

Cord Replacement - Flexi Comfort - Long 2 - Dog leash TheTTguy 2021-08-01 | Shows how to replace the cord on a Flexi Comfort - Long 2 - Dog leash. This is a dog leash that has a retractable cord that is on a spring tensioner. If the cord breaks you can pull the device apart and replace the cord. This video shows how to do that.Post Script: Do not tie the old cord to the new cord like I did. The knot does not stay and the knot stops the cord retracting properly. You really need to thread the new cord onto the spool and do it properly.
