It's funny, her legs are big but don't look muscular. It's like she has a thin layer of baby fat to hide the Boston Dynamics mechanicals.

The wind noise is annoying, but the video is interesting. Maybe try sound off and closed captioning.

I'm going to go straight in and invoke the 'philistine's defence'.
I don't know much about (insert subject here) but I know what I like.
Sadly I'm not at all musical so I thought I'd post this here rather than annoy the aficionados in the music thread several floors up.*

The pianist is Brendan Kavanagh who has made numerous videos of his performances on public pianos, mostly in London rail and tube stations.
Check out his channel.

*Aficionados can breve a sigh of relief.

A working stiff fooling around, or a musician clever enough to wear an outfit bright enough to outshine Elton John?

He's a musician who adopts a variety of guises for these performances, amongst which are security guard, bus driver and postman. However, for most appearances he's just Joe Public.

made soup the other night, recipe called for a little cornstarch to thicken it.

cornstarch and water in the right proportion behaves much the same way. with some regular agitation it becomes more fluid. When left to settle, the first stirring motions reveal a hardened peanut butter consistency, quite solid.

perhaps you've seen the videos where people run across a swimming pool filled with cornstarch and water, but when standing quietly on the surface, they sink.

This is the same liquefaction phenomenon that happens in some earthquakes in some regions that wreaks utter havoc on structures.
