sup, bitch?

I’ve got a manual transmission car that often doesn’t like to start, so when I stop by the side of the road I often leave it running and in neutral, relying only in the parking brake which is weak and useless. One day this will be me.

Buy a chock block and a rope.

Or adjust your parking brake. There's probably a youtube how-to video about it.

You also need a drill. Drill holes in the trunk and tie the rope to the blocks and have them hang behind the tires. Then when you stop on the side of a mountain, you just release the rope, which lowers the the blocks and stops your car from rolling.

That's extra steps.

You're getting a little more Red Green with it, which is fine, but I'm a lazier man than Red Green and will use what works.

Also that setup would need two blocks on ropes, in front of, and behind the wheel. One for uphill parking, one for down. You only need to chock one wheel for it to be effective anyhow, just the right side for the incline.

I think this only works with 400 lb blocks of concrete.

No, it should still work as long as a tire needs to drive over it because then it needs to lift the car the height of the chock block to continue.

I haven't been to an amusement park in a few years, but this is a much more pointed waiver than I'm used to.

“INJURIES/AND OR DEATH may result” and “THE UNDERSIGNED hereby ASSUME ALL RISKS,” plus another sentence that reads, “THE UNDERSIGNED understand and agree that a seat belt IS IN NO WAY A GUARANTEE OF SAFETY.”

I promise not to wear it in the workshop, thread. My ED Nurse friend has confirmed they can cut it.

with super hard and uncuttable rings, you can shatter them pretty easily. Take a standard vice grip, close the grip over the ring, and tighten til the ring is comfortably gripped. Release the vice grips then tighten another 1/4 turn or so. When you close the grips again over the ring it will shatter.

There should be a term for drivers that encounter a situation where it is plain to see they shouldn't enter, but then they realize they have to do some stuff on the other side of the situation so they just calmly and deliberately drive into it.

I just stumbled across a youtube channel whose gimmick basically seems to be "drop heavy things from very high up on other things". Which, you know, fair enough. But then the first thing they do in the video I click is this:

Yes, it's soft ground and the object is heavy enough not to be moved much laterally by wind, but still. That's like one slip, stumble, or bounce away from a very very messy end.

Nah, the How Ridiculous guys always have multiple camera angles and slow mo shots, and they've dropped a wide enough range of things into things (bowling ball into trampoline, giant dart into bulletproof glass, axe blade into giant glass ball) that they'd have to have a very dedicated CGI team.

They have one video where they spent six days throwing basketballs off a 200m cliff trying to make a basket. They're overly enthusiastic and not as safety conscious as they should be (they accidentally kept burning their clothes with the giant glass ball in one video), but they're actually doing that stuff.

Sure, they could slip, but that tower is specifically made for dropping stuff off of and the ground is prepared so that stuff doesn't bounce. For that you need a trampoline.

Not inconel, it's fairly ductile for its hardness. I think you're thinking of metal composites like tungsten carbide.

This is why I feel a little antsy about my titanium wedding ring. I don't wear it when I'm doing workshop type stuff but I do worry about what would need to happen if I ever injure myself on that finger.

What kind of Ti? If it's a metallic alloy and not a carbide it won't shatter easily.

If you wear a ring that isn't clearly gold or silver, expect it to be cut off using a diamond wheel.

E:soak your ring in wd40 in a 250 deg oven for a week and hit it with a hammer. Let me know if it breaks.

The guy's website from which we ordered it is a bit light on details, but I seem to recall it was machined from a solid hunk of Ti. A diamond wheel I suppose would do it, though.
