Stölln airfield, about 50 miles from Berlin. Plane belonged to former East German carrier Interflug and was named "Lady Agnes" after the wife of Otto Lilienthal, one of Germany's aviation pioneers who made his first flights from that very airfield. Plenty more info:

Based on what? Normally you'd put the tank on end and use the part above the bed as a lever to pull the rest in but the truck bed is too tall for that, or you'd rest one end in the bed and lift the other end up but the tank is too round to get a grip.

The lack of any basic things like a lever or a ramp or a rope and pulley or even just a second person.

Even the Sea-Doo and 4 wheeler shop down the road has a ramp made of 2x4s and dirt for people to load into their trucks.

I mean, a rope and a thick tree branch and she would have been in business, unless it weighs more than her.

Or, put it on its side and roll the thing up a ramp.

Hardly ever do you need any of that stuff unless you're loading a riding mower or larger. Usually for something that size you can use it as it's own lever, but the bed is too tall for that in this case. Ironically, she probably would have been able to load a larger tank.

Short answer is standing for hours in the very quiet Arctic while hunting for seals relaxes the tiny muscles in your ears that keep your tympani taught.. When a seal pops up and you fire your rifle at it, your eardrums get kind of hosed.

Huh.

I’d heard about the hearing damage from that particular activity, but no one mentioned that there was more to it than simply firing a rifle without ear protection, that the per‐shot damage is actually much greater when acclimated to a quiet environment.

When in doubt, err on the side of Awesome!

I feel like if you live/work somewhere where the utility truck and 300 gallon water tank are necessary there's a... 75% or 80% chance you are within a 5 minute walk/drive of being able to get a couple of 2x4s to make a ramp.

I'm willing to bet the pile of rocks she used to successfully load her tank was closer. Why has she "obviously never had a physics class" for trying to load something not particularly heavy into a truck, realizing its too awkward, and then using a platform to load it in two steps instead of using a winch or an inclined plane or some other object not visibly nearby?

People are talking like she has an overhead crane but is too stupid to use it and then gives up.

When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
Maybe it's just for Instagram clout and really she knew exactly what to do but that wouldn't have made for a funny tiktok or whatever.

Hah, I was listening to an episode of Last Podcast on the Left and they were talking about some folks way out on an isolated off-grid farm hearing "phantom hums" when it was very quiet and still. Not sure if the hosts clocked it, but to me I couldn't help but say to myself "you ding dongs, it's so quiet that your brain and ears are picking up and making into sound anything they can possibly can." It's not a secret underground government lab or aliens, it's just so quiet that your body adjusts and gets a little squirrely.
