Quentin Tarantino and his foot fetish: a complete list of all his films featuring scenes with feet and legs - photos and videos

недавно

Fans of Quentin Tarantino know that he has a foot fetish. For those unfamiliar with the term: it's when a man has a particular fascination with women's legs, and even more so with their feet. It's safe to say that Quentin Tarantino is the most famous foot fetishist in the world.

Let's start with Quentin Tarantino's first real film - Reservoir Dogs (1992). I'm skipping "My Best Friend's Birthday", as it was never officially released.

There's nothing related to foot fetishism in Reservoir Dogs: the film features only tough men. Women appear only briefly in a few background scenes. I found just one scene where a woman is shown in the foreground - the carjacking moment.

How wind turbine power depends on blade length: looking at real data

недавно

Wind turbines keep getting bigger every year. There's one main reason for that: the longer the blades, the more powerful the turbine. But couldn't you just install two smaller turbines instead of one large one? To answer this, let's take a look at real-world data.

Goldwind is a Chinese wind turbine manufacturer. Here are photos of their operating turbines from the company website:

Goldwind GW 82 / 1500 - output: 1500 kW (1.5 MW). Rotor length: 82.3 meters, meaning a blade diameter of roughly 41.15 meters.

Goldwind GW 171 / 6000 - output: 6000 kW (6.0 MW). Rotor length: 171 meters, giving a blade diameter of about 85.5 meters.

Even here you can already see that the relationship between blade length and output is nonlinear. The second turbine's blade is 2.07x longer, but the power is 4x higher!

Vestas is a wind turbine manufacturer from Denmark (their turbines are shown in the next photo):

Aspera Hotel Golden Horn: an honest review of the 4-star hotel in Istanbul - beautiful, but very noisy

We stayed at Aspera Hotel Golden Horn, a 4-star hotel in Istanbul, for just one night, but that was enough to form a clear impression. We booked a Deluxe Double Room on the lower floor.

The room looked very nice, everything was fresh and not “worn out.”

The real altitude of spaceflight

Humans have been flying to space since 1961 - that's over 60 years now. These days, we even have tourist spaceflights. In sci-fi movies, people travel between planets, stars, and even galaxies.

But what is space from the perspective of aviation and astronautics? Technically, it starts somewhere between 100 and 122 kilometers above Earth's surface. The range exists because different organizations define the boundary of space slightly differently.

Is 120 kilometers really that high? The average diameter of our planet is 12,742 kilometers - quite a lot. Below, I drew a simple picture to show what a spaceflight looks like to scale:

See that tiny red dot? That’s our trip to "outer space". Not exactly impressive, right? For comparison, the International Space Station orbits at an altitude of about 418.2 km - on this scale, its point would only be a couple of pixels higher.

Human technology is still in its infancy. Legally, we can say we fly to space - but in reality, it looks more like what you see above. As for interplanetary travel, so far, only our robots have made the journey.
