I don't think I am guilty of "missing the point" any longer......I now realize....the post had NOTHING!!!!.. to do with IR.....(did u see those shorts!!!..;-)..)

OK Ernie ;)

I watched this video 4 times and have already forgotten...what were they talking about again?

Now we know what Mila Kunis' sis looks like. Hubba hubba.

I didn't even notice the remote control... was there one?

I am shocked that you guys are able to type your messages. It's as if you haven't seen a girl like that... Oh wait, never mind.

Gotta love the gratuitous scene, where the camera angle hovers over her back side as she is holding it (whatever it is she is holding, don't remember)

I love gratuitous...

Something did happen when she pressed the buttons on the remote.

Cheesy-cakey.


So if I hold the remote so that it's pointing at a video camera, and look at the remote, then I will see a bright spot on the remote where the emitter is.

Writing clear unambiguous instructions is not as simple as it seems.

Aim the remote control at any video camera. Look at the video camera monitor. When you push a button on the remote, the camera should show a blinking white light where the IR emitter is in the remote.

For understanding, try this with several remotes. You'll see some are MUCH brighter than others. This is normal.


You caught that! The video implies that ANY white spot on the remote indicates a GOOD IR signal. No, it just indicates some IR signal. Replace the batteries on the remote and see if the light gets brighter. That's the only way to know if the batteries are low, because there's no such thing as a battery meter. This instruction was written for someone who could not possibly have a body like that if she couldn't bother to get up off the couch* to work out whether her remote batteries were dead.


True.


Yet another reason not to get a Droid.


It requires a room dark enough to see it. I've seen repair personnel turn off the lights on their desk so they could see it.



*She Got Up Off The Couch, by Amy Kimmel -- seriously, a GREAT book, but not as good as her earlier autobiography, A Girl Named Zippy.

Ernie, I bet you ruin a good blow job by explaining to the girl that she isn't really supposed to try to inflate you

I am such a slow learner.....I bet I have to watch this video 100 times before I get it.

Forget about the tats and the weird stomach piercings...if there's one thing that will bring the pro-gun crowd into harmony with those that are strictly against it, it's videos like that. Even Big Papa might be pro-guns now.

lol

was there a remote control in this video

LOL!!! Dude, I passed an entire cheese sandwich through my nose after reading that!

Let me further annoy you by saying that none of the suggestions here give any clue at all about how to see infrared.

Physicists will tell you that they have never seen electrons and they have never seen electricity. But they have seen evidence of it being there. This entire thread is one cute trick to get us to look at a cute girl in underwear. That's cool, but people object when I state something related to the purpose of this site. Again, that's cool. Sometimes we should just be having fun.

Anyway, the thing about the physicist is by way of getting round to the fact that we don't see IR and cannot see IR, though we have various methods of seeing evidence of it being there. The camera trick and the repairman's psychic paper are the two most obvious means.

You may now return to your normally random interruption.
