I can't remember - did this guy get talked about in the thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eh4ttX8rFU A Youtuber faked engine trouble in order to crash his small plane into a national forest. Unfortunately for him, he did it in the most hamfisted way possible and ended up getting his license revoked by the FAA and will porbably face crimnal charges.

It depends on legislation, but here that kind of action needs an environmental permit. Neighbours are eligible to be heard in the process. Things can and must be done to reduce air pollution (dust).

What's the purpose of that? Is that how they had to route torque around corners before bevel gears were invented?

Only distinction I can see is that a bevel gear would reverse the direction of the second wheel; that thing keeps both wheels rotating in the same direction. Were old belt-driven machines sensitive to the direction of the belts?

Were old belt-driven machines sensitive to the direction of the belts? Wouldnt that be solved by extending the shaft and reversing the bevel gear? Also both bevel and crown gears predate industrialization, but maybe this predates methods to machine them easily/cheaply. A throughhole and polished shaft would then have been much more accessible to your average shop back then than a new bevel gear. E: yeah the first bevel gear planer was made in 1874.

Presumably that would increase wear on the belt?

Another POV of the stunt. Why yes, I will skydive TOWARDS the out-of-control plane with a spinning prop. There is no way that ends poorly. https://twitter.com/juanchobarreto4/status/1518635227299655681

 I think I speak for many of us when I say that fascination with heavy machinery knows no gender roles (although I do wonder what the gender breakdown in this thread is). Happily the author of the piece managed to get over himself and there are some very cute pictures of his son on a firetruck and a tractor. https://www.today.com/parents/essay/man-boxes-stereotypes-tractors-rcna25364 Personally, my favorite when I was little was always the cement mixer truck.

Heavy machinery appreciation knows zero gender. Whenever there's a heavy vehicle next to a pre-school you think it's only the boys with the faces smushed against the fences? Absolutely no. Just last week our little girl made me stop on the way back from school to admire a nearby construction site. Who am I to argue.

It's not even limited to heavy machinery. I can't tell you how many holes I drilled in wood scraps with this bad boy. I had my own little workbench with a little vise (which was, admittedly, painted pink) and a little shop apron with a glittery cat on it.

Absolutely no. When we were looking at daycares we got a tour of some really fancy place and they were showing us this massive sandbox with all sorts of construction type toys and then the woman stopped because she remembered we had girls and she said "oh we also have a great kitchen set for the girls." Obviously we did not go with them but it's insane that stereotype still exists. Construction equipment rules.

I got one of these from my grandpa when he built me a workbench for my birthday as a kid and when my dad would give me wood to gently caress up, I'd just play with the drill, turning the crank and I dunno pretending it was some kind of wind-up space gun or something.

I used to love the hell out of Tonka trucks as a kid. I really forgot about it until I was an adult in Germany and saw those giant frigging 1:16 Bruder construction vehicle toys, and I immediately went full little kid. I didn't buy any (wife was with her, had to tell her why I got so weird for a minute). Which is a good thing, because years later I saw this and I 100% would have tried to make my own Bruderstator.  https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/48-devastator-bruderstator-1-16th-scale.1089465/

Just realized that not only do they ride and turn on two wheels, it all started with them swerving at the last moment to avoid that oncoming dude. Saved that guy a lot of pain (and maybe his life) and also looked cool.

There's actually more than a few, but the idea that people voluntarily choose where on earth they can live is laughable in its privilege.
