Still pretty insane, and I definitely wish I could ride it. I guess one of those alpine slide things is the closest we could get these days.

Hmm, both those were unsubstantiated I thought?

i'm not trying to be a jerk but from my experience rescuing stray cats it looks like this lil bud might have lost some ear tips due to hypothermia. please make sure they've got a warm insulated place to sleep, cats evolved in the desert and generally need things a few degrees warmer than people.

He probably showed up so he could have a warm place to stay. The whole place stays plenty warm all the time, so he's definitely going to be fine. There's a bunch of other cats around the plant. Craig is the one that hangs around by the control room and is friendly with us operators.

Well, the track is still there and as long as you timed it so the train was above you, there is definitely no way anybody is going to stop you from going down.

The question is how bad do you wish you could ride it?

Yeah that makes no sense. They're probably extruded (probably the wrong word) straight. Heated, then bent, then straightened again?

It sort of looks like they start out straight but bend over as they hit the lip at the end of the tray.

The bending looks incidental given that it's also completely random how much bend there is from piece to piece. I assume it's there to slow them down with minimal damage to the thing stopping them so they can be grabbed and fed into the next thing while still letting them come out of whatever previous process fast

You buy rebar, you bend it for use on a job, but some of it gets hosed up or you don’t end up using it or have to do a different bending pattern

So you sell the bent hosed up rebar back to a guy who gets it all hot and bothered and runs it through a machine to make it straight so you can buy it again and gently caress up some more bends

Hi thread, how many of you work with structural foam? Have any of you attended GE's SPI structural foam conference? In 1986? Did you lose your copy of the PROMOTIONAL SHOWTUNES CASETTE? A new goon has your back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUAvDNexS58

Okay, it wasn't evident how warm it was just from the photo, but it sounds like y'all got this in hand. :3:
