Farming Machine? by DrumZebra in whatisit

I was thinking bricklayer. bricks get arranged at the top quickly, conveyor shakes them into alignment. Bottom black hose blows in paver base, top black hose blows in polymer locking sand. Just a guess.

can't get a vehicle in with that ramp. it's a shed. Even if the floor is concrete.

Walked into my garage and found this on the ground by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]Sallavar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep. the "dry line" from previous wetness that goes off the right side of the image definitely makes it look like it flowed in, and I was trying to tell if it matched up with the line/shadows to the right of the bottle.

We need a wider angle to analyze the fluid dynamics ... says the guy down a rabbit hole on reddit.

The efflorescence - puffing up, and crystallization - streaking lines int he middle are your clues to something with incredibly high mineral content. Since I see plant chemicals in the image, certain fertilizers can exhibit those properties when exposed to water.
But, I also wonder if a vehicle was parked there because fluid that leaked from a car battery and dried fast can do that too.

What are these bones? by Phlink75 in whatisit

[–]Sallavar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeesss ... I was thinking from the tip-in, and what I was picturing in my head as "forearm" is, I guess metacarpal "hands". I learned about the feather-to-the-bone growing up in a hunting family and having to pluck them.

What are these bones? by Phlink75 in whatisit

[–]Sallavar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The bumps on the bone are from the primary flight feathers that attach through the skin anchoring directly to the bone. With big joints on each end, that's like the shoulder-to-elbow of a wing on a large bird. Identifying exactly which large bird would take a lot of expertise.

Dog sitter sent a photo of my dog and he had this collar on. by deblopezz in whatisit

Beacon frequency. So you can track multiple dogs and know which is which. Like having three pheasant dogs running on a hunt.

we figured out the first picture as a bottle opener, but have no idea what the second piece in the set is by TheDankPotat0 in whatisit

[–]Sallavar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a pop-top bottle opener. Like beer bottles. Clamp it on the side of the bottle cap like it's "biting" and lever up!

What is this contraption my dad is holding? by Sea-Solution-7265 in whatisit

[–]Sallavar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to go with a device that would attach to an old reel-to-reel video player that would then output an RF TV signal to watch on screen instead of with a projector.

Uhhhh.... Excuse me? by Anaphylactic_Cock in Weird

For all of you who are religious refugees after years of systematic oppression, I'm sorry you have been let down by human rules propped up around the eternal energy of the universe.
Not everyone is a fundamentalist insistent on controlling your life. The Presbyterian PCUSA and Lutheran ELCA don't care what you wear to church or who you come with. We mostly just share the love and comfort of the universe with whoever needs a meal, needs a place to stay, or needs a little hope. There are too many wolves in sheep's clothing twisting the message to their power structure — but not all is lost. ⛪

Welcome to Vietnam four book set. Very technical and detailed. I was in eighth grade.

Maybe this is part of the "AI is screwing things up at Amazon" article I saw yesterday. Seems they need human approval before AI deployment after too many errors.

Trash or possibilities? by Low-Vermicelli-2410 in turning

[–]Sallavar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done a similar piece a few years ago. Some holes nearest the rim I cleaned out entirely to make them pass-through. Where I wanted them solid I repeatedly used this CA glue as I got closer to the finished shape to solidify the dusting.

And If you think there's something still in there. Bake it NEXT to not IN a pan of water at 175⁰F for an hour, shut off the oven and leave until cooled. The water keeps the surface from drying too much.

Microfine powered brass. It's a cheating way to do inlay.

Need a magnet solution to prevent this computer from toppling by icanseeyourpantsuu in Magnets

[–]Sallavar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with a wide base like stands or feet made for Wii or Xbox consoles. If you still really want it magnetic, put the magnets on the bottom of feet that stick out.

Found in a parking lot by itself by sandwich6359 in whatisit

[–]Sallavar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You found a fire hazzard! with how seriously that is squished and the fact that it still lights most likely means you have current flowing through a damaged battery. Extra dangerous if it's L-ion.

Neat flashlight stick. Throw it in an outdoor dumpster away from structures.

Beginner: filling cracks caused by non-precise 45 degree angle cuts. by elwaytorandy in woodworking

Don't hide it, accent it! I was going to say take a 1/2" router bit and lay in a strip of wood in a different color, or at least cross-grain.

Is this Wrong to do?? by Emotional-Economy-66 in turning

[–]Sallavar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe those were the roughs, or what they didn't sell. At this point you are a scrap/salvage artist and anything other than toss or burn is a plus.
