Dude gets what's comin':



Or: Link

My first friend that got a car got a '41 Ford. I think I saw his engine block in that vid.
It is an amazing piece and makes me very grateful I didn't have to spend 40 years popping pistons out of hot molds.

Hey Señor, just play dead and he won't come back. Señor ?

Man, he's good at that playing dead part.:thepain:

Ow, my kidney

Even in the present and unfortunate state of toilet tissue tension, I'm pleased to see that this nation is keeping the supply chain unbroken.



Carry on chaps.

That's not the supply chain, this is the supply chain...

Hey! That's just outside of Grifftopia! Keep buying that shit paper, I've got 50 acres of pulp wood to sell.

Warehoused there but probably made in Canada, down south or South America. Oh, 10% from India or China. :facepalm:

Nah. The Mehoopany plant makes yer Charmin etc... They have been using Canadian pulp though. It used to be 100% local sourced.

Damn Griff, that's the best news I've heard this year, thank you. We actually make something is the USA, in PA even.
Praise the lord and pass the Charmin. No, I'm not being facetious, after years of hearing this and that have left the country it's a breath of fresh air. I watched Chainsaw Al Dunlap destroy Scott Paper and thousands of local's livelihoods.

They've been a strong local employer for a long time. They run a swing shift on the production lines which some guys love and others leave. A high school buddy has been an electrician down there for years. Good pay, regular work.

This Woodpecker flies back a forth between the feeder and a post several times. The video is slowed down so you can see it. I'm amazed how much of each flight is done with its wings folded.

I believe that's known as bounding flight.

I didn't think they ever flew without using the wings for something unless dodging obstructions. Obviously that's not true.

Almost all birds' bodies are themselves aerodynamic, saving lots of energy.
That is a great video.
I am surprised at how repetitive his flight back and forth is, as well as what picky little booger he is.

Currently under lockdown?

Under the circumstances there are worse ways of spending eleven minutes or so.

Should get up to the times, rip out that 19th century clock and move up to the 20th century by replacing it with giant nixie tubes. :haha:

Nah. They've gone straight for the LED look.

Nixie tubes are so yesterday. ;)

No no, LEDs are too flat, nixies have depth, they have class, they could be contenders.

They could add the day people seem to be having so much trouble with.

Over 400 parked planes at Victorville,CA. Plus the poppy bloom from the air.

Fun video. Lots of jets, lots of flowers.
Makes me miss flying. (Not in the big ones.)

Elspode said the KC airport is loaded up too. There's 16,000 grounded.

Pass the Pepper... the hard way...

Pretty cool.

Same people more elaborate...

Will Rogers was a smart man. He knew what was wrong, who caused it, and what to do about it.
He could also call someone an asshole and they'd think it was a compliment.
This clip is relevant today...

Interesting little piece:

quite good, should be required viewing.

Solid.

So many ways to play with Newton's balls...

I'm really liking these Second Thought vids.

Since I don't belong to any of those groups I get to lump them all together.
No stereotypes just a bunch of smartalecy whippersnappers who better stay off my lawn.

I made a Newton's Cradle years ago out of bowling balls.
It took a while to figure out why it didn't work.

Dolphins...

I also made one but of the normal materials and scale. I made it in woodshop in a previous century. It's lost now though. Mine worked well, why didn't yours work DJ?

It is the equal masses of the balls in the cradle that allow for the uniform transfer of momentum and the neato patterns.
Bowling balls are all the same size but of different weights (mass) and. as a result, go helter-skelter.
I eventually put together a well-matched set and it did work, all the way up to eight balls.

Interesting that they are just over or under the density of water, hence some float and some sink.
Makes a good bar or swimming pool bet.

So, some are witches?

So...

...ducks are made of wood?

Little known fact, Saturn is also a duck.

Is this the "what are you drinking thread"?

no, it's the cryptopython thread

No shame in fear but it's to your advantage to fear the right things...

Escape artists...

Just killed 2 hours at that site, before coming here...

Where, Bits and Pieces? I post there every Friday.

Yep. I use B&P to make the clock spin. I'm on page 559 atm. Only like 2500 or something like that to go.

Then I can start back on page one!:cheerldr:

This is real but I wonder if the counter programming was necessary? I've watched it happen with my Dad to a lesser extent.

Somebody had better counterprogram Biden. He's telling black people that if they vote for Trump, they're not black! I wonder how that went over with Obama. :lol:

I'm sure it upset the fifteen black Trump supporters, but Biden apologized to them already showing a character difference. I'd guess Obama feels the same.

That can't be true. Biden says there are no black Trump supporters.

I have edited the channels available via the remote to great therapeutic effect. I never knew parental lock worked forward and backward in time.

Somewhere here there's a video showing the landslide into the sea at Alta, Norway.

I can't find it at present, for the sake of context, but no-one was hurt and they rescued a dog by helicopter.

However, I'm surprised that they just let him go.

Trusting dog to approach a stranger in a noisy chopper and be harnessed up.
Thought he was rescued, but only sort of.

You can see the slide here...

Seems like a 2020 kind of thing...

The social distancing of land.
