e: I guess what I'm asking is am I not thinking of some stupidly obvious reason other than possibly rainfall? I guess it would be ideal to be in a building if it's in the budget but that doesn't look like a high-dollar broom to me, for one thing. (Also PPE is clearly not much of the budget either, obviously.)

Yeah, I guess apart from rainfall, I dunno? The mechanisms of the hammer would probably prefer not to be rained on, and if it snows in that area that sort of thing turns into nasty mush pretty quickly in an industrial setting. I guess you could just wait out any rainfall heavy enough to be a steam issue for the scale-cleaner there, and I don't know enough about forging things like this to know whether or not getting little cold spots from rain would affect the work.

Those are all good reasons that I was blanking on.

Well there's gotta be something to it, 'cause I think that's like the third drop hammer video like that I've seen over the years in this thread.

Those hammer forges are like 4 stories tall and rain is probably better for the mechanisms than hot boxing the spall he's brushing off. So you need a 4 story building with ventilation for dust and not baking the broom dude and make sure there's access to it for repairs and operation or you can just not run through hammer forge in bad weather and put up some tarps in mediocre weather.

There's a video of an accident at a Chinese rocket launch facility which ends with everyone walking around on fire and dying. But it's in low res and compressed to hell. Even so, it's incredibly disturbing to watch.

The Mexico fire is in high def and has sound.

Put it on the list of things you never need to see.

I've already decided this isn't a video for me to watch. But I keep thinking to the video from before the explosion, with people wandering around the soaked field with plastic containers. I don't know if Mexico has the "stop drop and roll" training I got growing up, but drop and roll would just make everything worse when the ground is literally a saturated gasoline sponge. That video is probably one of the closest things to literal hell available and I will be happy not to see it.

I mean there's a reason that Chinese steel has the reputation it does, and "forged in an uncontrolled environment by untrained farmers" probably plays more than a small part of that.

I feel like this is actually a pretty effective overhead clearance warning. If your truck hits this it will definitely snap the heavy-rear end beam loose and you aren't likely to continue driving into a place where hitting the overhead beams might actually matter. Then it can be reassembled quickly, ready to stop the next oblivious driver.

I think the 11'8" bridge already have one of those steel bars in place. But it's bolted down, so any truck too tall will stop before damaging the overpass, whether the driver wants to stop or not.

Oh man we gonna start a beekeeper fight? Honeyflow hives are poo poo for not just the money they cost, but the bees and their yield. For the (holy poo poo seven hundred dollars? I bought one from somebody awhile back for $150 and it felt like a rip off) cost, you can straight up buy like 10-15 hive boxes from a company, or build two dozen of your own. Subtract a hundo-fifty for the cost of a hot knife or small spinner, and you're still out 2x ahead doing it with real hives.

That said, any hive is better than none, so if you want to drop the dough, I mean, it's your money and my rage is 90% manufactured for comedy

Call me an ignorant hobbyist beekeeper, but how are the dumbass bees meant to know that the frames are empty? You've drained the honey out from the inside, and the bees aren't going to know they're empty until they try and open them once the brood super is empty at some point in winter. At least if you're taking the honey super off, decapping them and then draining them normally (centrifuging, or just gravity, whatever), the cells are at least physically empty and the bees are clever enough to realise this and start refilling them as soon as they're able to.

Also, if you're not going to open the brood up, how the gently caress are you meant to check for queen cells? I'd rather smoosh 50 queen cells each time then have to take a cardboard box and and all my beekeeping kit out to a random rear end field to get them back after they swarmed.

Edit: I'm fascinated by this video. I think my favourite bit is the dipshit trying to stop the bucket by hand. Do you reckon he had second thoughts halfway through and figured it was too late to stop, or was it all just red curtain and then he wakes up as the coppers drag him into the wagon?
