I'm with you on the 'be lazy' part. This seems excessive, and something you'll be trimming every 3-5 days just to satisfy your unhealthy OCD.

(Also, thank GOD for the robovac Dreame L40. It's such a fucking dream, and is literally set-and-forget and keeps your floors spot free forever.)

what's even more satisfying? Putting in fake grass so you don't have to waste tons of water and energy growing and mowing it.

The problem: as it moves, it bumps against the static ice around it, and sloooooowly it shrinks. You can see how much it's shrunk just in the video. If you leave it rotating all night, you may end up drowning in your tent.

Same, and I've always thought it was cast like that. Never thought about it being cut by alternating pressure points.

I couldn't play with sound, but do they just press that shape on a single foam brick, and then once done, cut the brick in half?

It's cut whilst compressed is what I got from that

Lol. Good catch. To be fair, though, if you move the brace that easily, it was never properly installed to begin with.

Sure, but that little repair is going to cost a lot less than what they'd have had to fix if water and ice had pooled on the roof.

They're probably pining for the fjords.

2 months ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

They are not. But they are common carp or close to it, and they tend to not winter well, in they go into a serious state of torpor and are very lethargic even when caught. A lot of other fish that are more natural to an area like that, esp predator fish, will be much more active when caught. Like ice fishing for perch or pike and so on.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I thought maybe they were just winter lethargic?

2 months ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I mean, who cares? So he couldn't catch fish live on a recording because the rotating 'roof' of the home of the fish was scaring them away.

2 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No, just in torpor. The fin of the one fish moves as he takes it out. The section on torpor in the following link speaks to this behavior and it is quite normal when ice fishing for the fish to not be moving much if at all. https://lakes.grace.edu/what-you-should-know-about-fish-and-their-habitat-during-winter/

#13 guessing a hand wouldn't slow that blade down a bit

2 months ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 0

One of the early successful finger reattachment surgeries in America was triggered by an accident with a machine like that. I still have memories of the TV show that featured the doctor and patient and that was like 1981.

2 months ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I worked with a machine like that. There's a foot pedal that operates the press that holds the stack in place, and on the front there are 2 switches about a meter apart you need to squeeze simultaneously for the blade to come down.

You're absolutely right, it'd cut straight trough most things that fit under the blade, possible even bricks/stone, but you'd have to be an accomplished gymnast to put any of your own bodyparts under there while operating it.

That collegue you don't like though...

Long ago before cams and lasers and infrared and other stuff, there were two buttons to activate that machine, so that a user was supposed to use his both hands.
But accidents still happened.

2 months ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 0

People actively glue one of the buttons down to save time, despite explanations that it's dangerous as hell.

2 months ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

they couldn't think of a way to not put your hands under the blade ?

2 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I used to change the blades on a bigger version of that machine. They are stupid heavy and you lift them with 2 key like handles. Their rest position is up, so they won't just fall down if the power goes out. It would take effort to hurt yourself with them.

As soon as you invent an idiot-proof machine, nature invents a better idiot.

2 months ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

I ran ten and twelve foot long versions of this machine for slicing veneer called drop clippers. We had magnetic stoppers to flush the log/book against the stops and two start buttons like you mention. That with the heat detection system made them ALMOST idiot proof.

2 months ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I once saw such a machine with a door coming first in front the blade, that could only be operated when the door is fully down. It then goes up when the blade begins to cut, leaving again some space for ... something.

so, if both a person's hands were occupied by depressing the buttons, what were they sticking in it. i didn't know people could get that desperate.

#23 I thought that was going to be some weird way to pick a lock.
However, it is instead a tip that won't work anymore (in Ireland, anyway), because all our cotton buds are now made entirely of paper.

i would gamble that a key that naturally broke off into a lock is sufficiently stuck in the first place such that a wax bond is not going to have the strength to pull it out anyway

2 months ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

I mean, they normally break like that from being hit on the side at the bow. I've done similar with tweezers and a tiny spot of super glue.

Someone broke off the key's handle while it was in the lock. This is the 'use a potato to remove a broken bulb from socket' equivalent.
