My first truck had the highbeam switch on the floor board that you clicked with your left foot and I miss it. We've strayed too far from God's path.

I did a tour of the Clyde Dam in NZ today. The dam is built directly on a fault line. To cope with this the dam was built in two parts with a wedge of concrete down the seam. The photo below is of the point of the wedge. Apparently the design can handle 2 metres of movement which is ten times the expected movement in an earthquake. That expected amount of movement was based on a complete guess. Oh and the method used has never been used before or since and no one is really certain it will work, because nowhere else in the world are people stupid enough to build a dam on a loving FAULT LINE!

I know we went through a phase in the aliexpress thread of buying those tiny chainsaws, but they didn't terrify me nearly as much as this thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-CeA29bFiY Shoulda just put a sticker on the side which said The Finger Lopper 3000 and left it as that. 12:25 if you don't wanna watch the whole thing.

Wait, how does the mandrel stay in place? Wouldn't it have to just float there.

it's held in place by the induction coils magnetic field, and then it's mandrel and tubes to be welded all the way left

It's held at the other end where the pipe is coming from. The real trick is getting the pipe segments onto the mandrel to begin with. (Usually the mandrel comes off the press, you load your pipe segments onto it, then reattach it).

You arent backing the truck up and ripping at it at 70 mph. Works great for rose bushes and small trees too.

Importantly you use a chain instead of a rope, so that there's no tension that will fling the post towards the vehicle when it lets go.
