Do Instagram videos count?

 

Hmm, if a ten year old can do it, I should be able to as well.  Right?

That was pretty funny; he had to stand just to get his feet to reach the pegs.  :grin:

They need a lift kit on their rail car

 

Either that or a plow.

A fun adventure on a sketchy home-built rail cart:

Cool cart!  I'd guess they made the trip a little quicker than I did on my mountain bike a few years back.  And they started from farther away, too.

As my wife said, "I seriously doubt there are any software engineers that can dance like that."

I'm a software engineer, and I resemble that remark!

Some of this guy's videos are kinda funny:
 
 
 
 
He sprained his ankle filming that one, which led to this one:

I think that outboard running all the time would ruin it for me.


Ah..nothing a hot toddy and some good speakers couldn’t fix. ;) It’d be fun for a lil-bit. :)

 A sound shield, a piece of cardboard or wood to deflect the sound would help too.

Now I want to make one. The unfortunate part, I live where it is cold enough that the lake is frozen and it can be done. Winter sucks.

Why? Why do I stay here? I've heard there are areas where people ride year round. Might have to look into that...

If you do metalworking or woodworking, how prepared are you for a serious shop accident?  A friend of mine mangled his finger several years ago, and it prompted me to buy a SawStop table saw for my own shop.  But of course that doesn't mean catastrophes are completely out of the question for me.  Stumpy Nubs has a pretty good video on shop preparedness, mostly centered around a well-thought-out first aid kid.  If you work with your hands, I highly recommend watching this video and then thinking about how to make sure your own shop is prepared for a severe injury:

That's too much safety, I've got some band aids and superglue, should hold me over.  I didn't carry that much kit in combat.

I've got electrical tape and paper towels, good enough to slow down the gush to get me to the hospital. Probably.

 

Of course I'm making light of it, but a little first aid prep is a good idea. Avoiding the injury in the first place is better!

And for gods sake, wear your safety glasses!

super glue was a vietnam favorite.  

 

Zap + in the 2 oz bottle or just Zap red will fix you up in a hurry.  It's what we build remote control planes with too.

After having one of these newfangled zip line closures on a hip incision, I think they would be great for a first aid kit.  There are some short ones for sale for that purpose, but they are pretty expensive -- $30+ range.  As an alternative to stitches, they are really fast, easy and effective.  Whoever invented this is a genius.

Hopefully there wasn't an operator behind this camera:

 

 

 

 

 

This popped up in my feed after that, pretty interesting.

Scott Manley puts together nice videos on space related hardware.
Here is his latest (on SpaceX’s SN9 test launch yesterday)

Those helmets with chin strap look exactly like my first helmet bought at Sears ~1967 when Texas passed mandatory helmet law. I don’t remember it having any padding at all. I put a big bubble shield on it. I only wore it when I thought I might see a Leo. One time I had it strapped to back of bike and exhaust melted a bunch of it. That Gilera 106 was one goofy bike but it beat my Sears moped I had before

That "transceiver" is an Icom ic-201. A multi mode 2 meter amateur radio! Probably not what NASA types would use as it has CW, upper and lower sideband capability. 

 

The "throttle" is a floor mounted automatic transmission shifter. I know I have seen one like it, but cannot place the exact car model it was taken from.

That space ship was built outta junkyard parts,.....Andy was a junk guy that wanted to salvage space junk and the moon junk, so he built a ship to get up there.

 

I remember watching this show.  The "capsule" was a cement mixer from a cement truck, they used fire extinguishers to propel them in space, as a kid, fascinating and completely unbelievable.

I moved this over from 'What Are You Listening To', should've put it here to begin with. Rick Beato does a series called What Makes This Song Great that's great in itself but this one helps explain why some musicians are better than others. Rick isn't bad either but his real strength lies in being able to break this stuff down into an informative explanation.

I'd never heard of Rick Beato until about 6 months ago. Since then I've been watching a lot of his videos. You're right, he's great at breaking things down and explaining them. it's changing the way I listen to music.

Think I've posted it before but here is another one of my favorite groups, not Beato although Rick does a couple breakdowns of Steely Dan songs which are excellent. This one's pretty good too..

Wes is a humble guy although he knows a lot. He's not afraid to take us along while troubleshooting. Here's a recent one that shows his sense of humor. He's confident fixing everything from cnc machines to every type of vehicle to, yes, the dishwasher.
