WTF Wednesday

[da]

You've probably already seen this but Thai police are using Hello Kitty Punishment. I wonder how well it will work.

...There's a machine extruding curbs on the roadbed under reconstruction near my office. In goes wet concrete, out comes fully-shaped and properly placed curbs. No wooden forms, no human shaping of the curbs at all as far as I can tell. I have to admit I'm sort of entranced- I had no idea they could do that. They've nearly finished with both sides of the road, no more than a day and a half after they started. We have the technology!

Paprika looks like it could be a lot of fun. If also quite weird.

Have you watched it make a driveway entrance yet? Also cool. It just squeezes out a lower curb.

Ooh, that movie looks really fun. Thanks for the mention.

Also, the Thai story was cute :)

Oh good, hopefully that means that everything'll be ready soon to move the iXpress to the useful side of Ring Road in both directions.

Having seen the output up close while I was going to get a slice of pizza, I'm underwhelmed. There's big chunks missing.

Maybe they'll go back and fix it by hand afterwards.

Maybe we'll get useful information regarding machine rooms around the same time.

I think I would very much like to see that movie :)
