#12 but if you leave the saw on day and night you’re wasting river
DJOldguy
#4 What great idea, might even work. But for #5, a twin needle heavy thread machine would do the job in a third the time. Why would you be using a single needle machine for this job?

#9 This is called skiving in case you wanted to watch more.

Trenchers have existed like that for MANY decades

#2 I don't know if this is real or a concept or what, but it's the first thing I thought of with folding phones. Would be neat if it works, it might be the Huawei Mate XT, opens to 10.2 in
TheDaharMaster
That thing looks kinda dope. I suspect we’ll start seeing a lot more of these things as time goes on and the tech gets better.

Who in their right mind wants to fall off their ladder and only hurt their body? Common sense says that if I’m going to take a dive I might as well rip half the facia from my house on the way down.

Because gutters are widely known as the strongest part of a house?

#9 That's a machining process know as skiving
LaCroixIsGross
Looks delicious
Sypurist
I wonder if they have a hard time getting the oil out when they're done. Or maybe it doesn't matter.
MrWobblyHead
I would expect the whole thing gets cleaned with a degreaser or some type, after the whole thing gets cut up into sections and any other machining is completed. A degreasing solvent dip maybe or high pressure wash.

#3 I can't wait to start cutting through shallowly buried underground sprinkler lines, utility lines, etc. on my own.

#14 the little squeegee is neat, but the head shake sells it #18 to a doggo, that's gotta be like getting abducted and dropped off by aliens without the probing. #20 is pretty cool

#2 Fun gimmicks, but those all seem awful. I don't want a floppy piece of paper or a window that makes usability terrible.
hellothisispeggy
IKR looks cool af but it'd be absolutely terrible to actually use due to the lack of contrast.
TerribleBot
I'll lose it in two minutes.
Thanks god it's fake.

#10 do they make a wire stretcher? Could have used that a lot over the years
Sypurist
Here's a pipe stretcher, which could be used for wire though.
Spiffytown
OK that’s dreadful. Take your upvote

My brother worked with that mail insert machine in 1982 and is still swearing

#14 that sassy head bob at the end makes this video.
thatwoodguy
#3 Ditch Witch, I use these at golf courses for trenching for wiring and water pipes. It would completely rip through any buried stumps or Roots up to about a foot and a half in diameter
#4 A wood clamp works almost as well especially the quick ones where it can be fastened with one hand

#1 can you laser engrave tattoos? I know it'd be scars, but just curious.
hyptosis
you can, they look terrible and heal wrong, also it can cause Basal cell carcinoma
HelpfulCorn
I'm curious how you know this
hyptosis
I know about how they look, because I saw it done and tested by a tattoo/scar artist. I know about the cancer because of med school and the effects lasers have on epithelial tissues.
HelpfulCorn
I'm glad it's not though first-hand experience! And I didn't know scar artist was a thing
hyptosis
Yeah, I've got plenty of ink and plenty of scars, but none of the scars are intentional haha. :P

Oh wow, I think I'll just go get a regular tattoo instead 😅

#19 I ran a letter inserter like this at my first job. The bill and monthly inserts are had their own stacks, sealed and postage applied...
cre8majic
...contd then dropped into trays. we did about 7-10 USPS trays (about 32 inches long) every day
chillaxasaur
#4 is it just me or did this dude just clamp straight onto the gutter
CyanideBreathMint
Not just you. Looks like that’s how it was designed. Putting a lot of faith in those gutter hangers :/
berserk
I think he attached it to the barge board.
edalton454
Almost. That is the Fascia, covering the ends of the rafters. Barge board is at the end of the gable, covers the side of the rafter.
Spiffytown
A bread bag wire tie would be just as sturdy
splud
On my house, I have a few stout eye bolts passed through eave rafters, at standard locations I'd set up the ladder for work, and use a strap through onto a step. Also, ladder has a foot attachment so it stands off the ROOFING, rather than leaning against the gutter.. I have a safety harness as well - can ruin a rope from an eye bolt on one side of the house, throw over, anchor to one on the other, and hardess has a clamp that attaches to that rope.
splud
As a youth, I saw a neighbour doing work on their roof fall off and land on his head on concrete.
BrockEffingSamson
Yikes, I'm sorry.
splud
Well, it reinforces using appropriate safety when getting up onto a roof and working on one.
BrockEffingSamson
There must be a better way to teach that lesson.
llebkcir
very kewl dump, but ill skip on #2 no thanks.
TerribleBot
It's already too much for me to have a phone ...
jimbobular
Yeah flexible is great right up until you need a rigid surface to press. Which is most of the time. And see-through? So... Invisible when off... I have enough trouble finding my phone as it is
Charlawilliams70
As if my older eyes could deal with that.

Are you from 2010? Ever heard of AI
timmargh
I have, but it looked too realistic to be AI, At least to my old eyes.
SapphireXK
A lot of content you look at on a daily basis is AI generated now. You've seen Stable Diffusion 1.0 / 1.5 and think that's all there is.

Do people still believe that you can have transparent batteries and motherboards and other components? I blame Facebook.
GeantDeTitane
You can also blame The Expanse which had these kind of phones. Even though it does look pretty futuristic, if it exists one day (which I don't believe) I would never use it, just for the sake of readability.
Sypurist
The flexible screen (seen at about 0:14) is a real thing I remember Samsung demoing at CES years ago. To the best of my knowledge they never released a commercial version though. (The one being bent like cardstock, not the one that looks like fabric)
timmargh
Oh, nice!
Asadsadsadclown
A few companies have tried their hands at phones that unfold into a tablet using them. They haven't caught on and are plagued with countless quality issues revolving around the flexible part outside of the screen. Like the hinges on the phone board getting filled with pocket dirt.

#10 was used in the wrong direction. Do this 3-5 times and the copper wire inside will have work hardened enough that it'll break the next time someone looks at it wrong

I think they intend for it to be used only once as shown.

What the product description shows

Cheap chinese Description sheet? can't trust those

What you’re thinking?

aguacatedeldiablo
That's even better, but what they're saying is that the middle wheel is offset, and they're using it in a way that makes the bends more extreme instead of less extreme, which puts more wear on the wire.
LustrousShadow
The wrong direction? Do you mean whether the wire was placed above or below each peg, or?
Snowman25
Correct. The way it's shown puts too much strain on the solid core
LustrousShadow
I see, I wouldn't have really thought that it'd have made that much of a difference. Interesting~
aguacatedeldiablo
The middle wheel is slightly offset. Doing it as shown bends the wire further, doing it the other way bends it less. Less bending = less stress, which maintains the structural integrity better.
hyptosis
someone explained it right, look at that, kudos
