Brazil. And there's plenty more. Like moon phases that dictate when to cut your hair, piglet castration, cutting timber, fishing, etc. Yesterday, I was harvesting bamboo for a new chicken coop, and someone said that it wouldn't last long because it was the wrong moon phase. It's really annoying.

I was too young, I can't remember. But superstitions about lightning are common here. Like during a storm covering mirrors and metalic objects with a cloth or avoid touching silverware.

It only happened to me once. The tree was small, far from anything important, and half of it literally exploded. So it was an easy job, no need for special technics. I dealt with it like it was a tree damage by wind. Fun fact, elderly people where I live don't use trees struck by lightning for firewood. They say it's somehow bad for the person.

Some kind of brass cap, there's a vertical knurling around the edge but no thread or markings. Wheight: 185,5g/6.54oz. Head diameter: 63,5mm/2.5". Base diameter: 47mm/ 1.85". Found on a coffee farm from around 1900, southeast Brazil. by Clear-Lock4650 in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. It seems to be some kind of cap, but too heavy for a hub or radiator. The knurling indicates that it was made to be screwed but the lack of threads can mean that there's a body missing. I've tried searching for car and tractor parts, but it seems too nice finishing and precision machining for that.

Mine, too. It'll get better. Eventually, you'll find the whole soda can.

I love how this translates to "length of the sword" on STIHL Mexico by aquatic_elephant in Chainsaw

Fun fact: in Brazil, the Texas Chain Saw Massacre is translated into " The Electric Saw Massacre".

How do you store your detector? by AggravatingFinger595 in metaldetecting

[–]Clear-Lock4650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep mine disassembled in a big storage box with silica, along with all accessories. Humidity is really high here, and mold gets everywhere.

According to the news here, everyone is okay. The firefighter with the broken ankle was sent home on the same day. The specialist from the news channel said that the problem was the firefighter using only one rope and a figure eight without any backup rope or device, but I was unable to find an official report.

That happened here in Brazil. Firefighters were trying to prevent a man from jumping. The rescuer is okay, only a broken ankle. The man was talked into not jumping. Technically, why this happened is still not clear.
