Ah, I see you find "I Did A Thing". Excellent comedic timing, narration (and a voice for it). Horrible ideas. HORRIBLE IDEAS. Worse safety somehow.

Ahh ozito

For any Americans playing at home, ozito is the Australian equivalent of harbour freight. It's probably the exact same stuff just rebranded.

They sold (sell?) a drill press that will jerk half an inch to the right if you bottom it out.

I'm sure that somewhere in this 1100 pages long thread it has been posted, but it's worth a repost:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVm8G0ipETc

Scenes from the shipbreaker's yards in Pakistan set to some dark rock music from Kyuss, from the movie 'A workingman's death'

Interview with some of the workers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncO7lJVAZQ4

The movie is very much worth to find and watch (i've streamed or torrented it a while back). It has several chapters, about illicit mining operations in Ukraine, sulfur collectors on a volcano in indonesia, the shipbreakers in Pakistan, an open air slaughter house/meat market in Nigeria and steel workers in China.
It's all pretty brutal, but i only felt the need to skip the slaughter bit.

:confused: Why would you want to take it out? Just use some long jumper cables to tow it behind your car. Super easy to replace if it dies, and the car effectively gives you extra trunk space!

I'm guessing "dead" battery exchanged for deposit. Just because it won't start your car doesn't mean it's totally dead.

There's some ambiguity, they meant "10 times more deadly then a conventional arrow".

The right thing to do would be to take a good amount of distance. Just let it do it's thing, and dispose of it when it's done. If you're particularly motivated you could push the cart outdoors with a long window washing stick or whatever.

Car batteries can create hydrogen when shorted out, which is an explosion hazard combined with the sparks.
The high current can also cause the electrolyte to heat up or boil, which means it can start spewing around boiling hot acid.

It's only 12 volts, so it isn't going to hurt you to grab the shopping cart (unless you grab the molten section). I think I would just kick the whole thing over and try to shake it out.

I had an electrician with nine fingers make this exact same argument to me when I was chatting him up about something. "It's only a car battery it won't hurt you none." Sure thing man I'll trust the guy who blew off his right thumb and burned the poo poo out of the rest of his hand loving around with electricity while drunk.

One thing I remember about him is that he had really long finger nails because he couldn't trim the left side without a right thumb and he was too manly to go get it done.

Nice dude. Sobered up and now volunteers several times a week at church. Still don't trust him though.

Thanks for giving me an opportunity to think of an old friend!
