Highway 2. Found a result from 2016 with that pic.
I've seen Ford pickups with a Chevy crossways on the bed go over stuff like that!, Just stick it in 4x4.
Enquiring minds want to know???
Modern explosives make even medieval weapons modern again...
Giant space based trebuchets built around the moons of gas giants or gas giants themselves, using the gravitational field of the gas giant, could be used to launch interplanetary cargo ships, liners, or ore barges from one base to the next in a solar system so ships can actually complete a part or most of their voyages without having to burn any of their own onboard fuel...
Farmers grow varieties of wheat with very high gluten, because it is an insecticide. The bread changed.
Doing some digging, I see it has been debunked. Thanks for calling me on it.
Except that now, it is the USA that has fat people and the soviets have slimmed WAY down.
When I was growing up (born in 1955) it was a rarity to see fat kids. Most of us were muscle and sinew and spent days outside playing regardless of the season. Today nearly everywhere I go I see morbidly obese children and no wonder Type II diabetes is becoming a major health issue.
When I was a kid in the summer my mother would feed me breakfast and tell me not to come back in the house until lunch. Thirsty there’s the hose, get hot better find a shade tree. Most kids now a days would be in the hospital with heat stroke, not mine but most of his friends.
Lunch? Your mother must have loved you more. My Mom kicked us out and said don’t come back until dark. Who in their right minds would let three kids, the youngest 5, go swim in Oneida lake unattended? Then, maybe 99% of parents did.
A while back, wheat was crossed with certain grasses to produce more wheat per plant. Wheat got much taller and made way more grain. This also brought the gluten content way up beyond what our bodies were supposed to deal with. The book Wheat Belly talks about this.
The thing making more people obese than ever before is high fructose corn syrup, it is bad stuff.

I think about this quite a bit. I walked about a mile to school along what would now be considered a fairly major road when I was 8. When we moved and I wanted to stay at the same school, I rode a bike 3 miles back and forth. Schools had bike sheds, virtually everyone rode or walked to school.
No way in heck I would have ever let my daughter (born in '98) ride a bicycle on the roads here in Atlanta.
Different times, different cultures.

Both my parents worked. If I wanted to eat, I made it myself. Learned to cook at age 12. Spent each and every day out on the bayou. Fished, swam, water skied when we could get the gas to power a boat big enough to pull us, caught baby turtles to sell the dime stores. and laid out in the sun, hating that each and every day, school days were getting closer. Hated school. Best times when we would have running cypress ball fights. Our little boats were not very fast but we had a blast. Gas lasted forever or at least it better cause we weren't getting any more for a while. When we weren’t on the bayou, there were always horses to ride and fences to mend And hay to haul. Of course, I had the run of the place, with both parents gone all day, who was to stop me. It was a damned fine life until September 1st rolled around.
Left in morning on a Stingray bike with my fishing pole, eagle claw hooks and worms. On instruction was be home for dinner.
I was lucky enough to be able to safely shoot in the air into my early 20's. My friend and gunsmith who gave me a copy of McGivern's book was big into aerial shooting with a S&W K-22. I got to be pretty consistent on hitting a tossed quarter, he was able to hit fired .22 short cases tossed in the air.
Best I ever did was tin cans. Had a BIL that was pretty good at hitting almost anything I tossed.
I was most amazed by Byron Ferguson hitting tossed aspirin using a recurve.
DAMN that Hurts. I recently had an argument with my table saw and it won on a split decision. Fortunately, the fingers are still there and the skin has finally regenerated. A board kicked back and basically stripped everything from the knuckles to my left wrist of all living matter except the bones. Lot of pain but heck, it comes with the territory (even with the safety measures)
The good thing, somehow all of the blood vessels on top of my hand stayed intact
^^^Thats funny but it’s pretty dang true these days. Not just Netflix either. Every commercial I see has a mixed race couple in it, and I know the ratio of true mixed race couples is no where near this. Isn’t that condescending to all races, and not just white people? I don’t get it. I really don’t. And I do apologize because this is the MPT and I’m doing what I always bitch about. Sorry.
A guy I know who works for my buddy Dean (home improvement contractor) lost a finger last year to the hungry table saw.
I am an absolute surgeon with the TS and MS but I never forget that they want me to F up.
Those new saws that stop instantly if flesh touches the blade are the hotness.
Must have been why I was such a poor hunter when I was younger and had plenty of hair
My buddy swapped all the saws they could to saw stop saws and some CNC gantry saws/routers it cut there insurance in less than half doing it. No more regular table saws, table routers in the shop.
Weedeaters with saw blades attached are quite efficient at removing appendages too, as my former employer discovered the hard way.
Have a 5hp Delta table saw in my shop with outfeed rollers, sliding table and over blade dust collection system. Always use a riving knife when ripping and roller hold downs in some instances. Even with those it has still has on rare occasions launched a board to the back of the shop. Never stand directly behind the board and use push sticks. The big saws don't scare me as much as the small portable ones. Most of the folks that I know who have had injuries resulted from milling too small of pieces without a jig. This happens not only on table saws but jointers as well. The tool that really scares me is shapers. Don't own one and never plan on getting one.
Radial arm chop saw is not for ripping! This guy found out on a job a year or so ago.
There was a table saw there and he didn't have any reason to why he didn't use it when I asked him.
A couple months after this picture they removed the middle finger because it was useless.

Question on table saws. It's been a while since I used one but doesn't anyone ever use push sticks anymore?
Just those with who wish to keep all their fingers
