    Not much different than everyday on sites everywhere with boom cranes. Which are arguably much more dangerous due to being less dexterous and no video. Notably 1:23 where it's simi…

    One has to think of the overhead. Cutting and stacking(or picking up/delivered), the space to store it, having to carry it into the house, emptying your ashbox, having to actual st…

    Always just saw their power tools as 'better' ryobi stuff. But with Ryobi's draw being cheapness, battery compatibility and unique tools. However they're the defacto when it comes …

    While the website seems very fluff, the concept of hand health can't be overstressed. Keep care of your hands and wrists. If you feel pain or discomfort, stiffness etc figure out w…

    Most likely it was Babbit. Which is... possibly feasible for someone to be carrying back then. As it could have been used(in a pinch) to repour bearings in the field. Or maybe he w…

    lots of smaller ones can't in fact. this also gives rise to ununionized outfits as well. as theyre able to keep wages lower and bid more competitively.

    Lot of talk about bicycle chains, not sure if they use o/x-ring chains. But here's a well put together video on chain lubrication. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnPYdcbcAe0 There…

    I thought $200 for the Thinkpad Designer's was expensive. Then I saw the price of the Giannina. I'm sure the locking mechanism and aesthetics are much better, and they're a pleasur…

    I find it's always the cables that go. Thus buying a set with a removable cable sent me from 6 months to 5 years with a pair of Shure se215's. There's many more options today, as (…

    I don't think too many Chinese factories are scraping in their ways on their mini mills or lathes. And also lots of old machines that likely have lost their flaking and true truene…

    How does this play without an actual joystick. Was happy to see X-Wing etc come to Steam. But trying to play with a keyboard or controller felt awful. I remember Rebel Assault 2 ne…
