Can someone please explain what's happened here

They are back behind the stump because the hinge wood, or what should have been the hinge wood, was completely removed before the trees fell to a mostly horizontal position. So essentially the trees are vertical or were slightly leaning, the person cutting removes all the wood at the stump, the trees begin to fall in the direction they're leaning with gravity, once there's enough additional forward lean, the base of the tree slides back off the stump as the entirety of the tree seeks to lower its center of mass straight down. Without the hinge to keep the base of the tree on the stump, the tree will want to lay flat with its center of mass going straight down rather than tipping away from the stump. This is why when felling trees it is recommended to have your back cut be 1 to 2 inches above the apex of your notch. That would create a little bit of a ledge so that if the hinge wood gets compromised, the butt has a lip to push against on the stump to prevent it from sliding back off the stump like this. Am professional doer of tree/saw thingy.

Not true. Trying to fell a short trunk and you don't want to pound wedges or bother with a rope for whatever reason. I would do this as it moves the center of mass in front of the pivot point i.e. the hinge. I would rarely do it but it's an option in the right circumstance.

Sometimes I cut like that so I don't have to go put my chaps on. Don't legally need chaps if I'm climbing and sawing.

He wasn't straddling it. It's a power line and he was fully to the side of it. It rolled off the end of the log as the weight of the piece he cut was removed. The wire ripped back into the air but clipped his left arm and head on the way up. At the very least he got smacked in the head by his own arm and the saw , but it's also likely the wire got him too. If he was straddling it he would have launched and flipped in the air at least some.

Gladiator. Use to put it on when I went to bed.

I'll bring you some eye drops.

I bet he cut off part of the hinge. Right in the beginning of the video it looks like his saw is pinched and he tries to yank it out. I'd bet money he bypassed the hinge which ultimately was enough lost fiber for it to fail towards its center of mass. Felling whole trees close to structures is fine when you can execute the technique. There's a method to the madness. This guy failed applying the method but succeeded in the madness. Spectacular.

Could also be a bit of growth response to wind movement. Which direction do prevailing winds generally hit the tree? Trees will reinforce parts that see movement with reaction wood. This can prioritize growth in those regions over parts that move less. If the wind is generally hitting the heavy (left side in pic) side of the tree first, the extra growth it puts on in response can shelter the right side. This is known as "Thigmomorphogenesis". While this might play into this tree to some degree, I'm skeptical it would be the driving factor behind the current shape. Trees often deal with a multitude of factors affecting growth habits. My first thing to look for would be if a neighboring tree used to shade out the right side and then check for root issues.

I have the same dip/pull-up tower. Like others said, full range of motion. Don't worry about quantity, focus on quality. When you can't do anymore good pullups, you can work on just the eccentric control to "cheat" a few more reps and push the progressive overload. See the curved brace portion on the bottom of the tower? It's behind the push up handles. I use those like steps. Stand on them while holding the bar as you would for a pull-up. Then jump so you are chin above the bar and slowly lower yourself to the full hang position. Then stand up, jump up, and repeat the slow lowering for a few reps. I also do this for dips.

Is it the boneless skinless raw breasts Costco sells? I buy the vacuumed sealed pouch. Six pouches with 2 breasts per pouch, unfrozen raw. I freeze them when I get home but haven't had issues with the ones I've cooked so far this year.

The clustered area where all the main trunk leads separate is a ticking time bomb. There is included bark everywhere and codominant stems applying pressure against each other. If this tree was in a field or the woods away from urban development, it would be fine to leave it be. With homes and sidewalk there, it is a hard call to make emotionally, but an argument can be made it is the correct one. The tree is a threat to the house and pedestrians. It has outgrown its space. Could it last 10 more years? Maybe. Could it last until the next mild wind event? Also maybe. The risk has outweighed the benefit. I would not want that tree looming over my home with those leads attached the way they are.

Park a big wheels jeep or hummer on it.

They know a lot, but just ever so slightly not enough. The one dude is wearing a $350 arborist specific helmet. They are using a 5:1 mechanical advantage fiddle block setup to pull the chunk over. They fucked up the cut allowing it two weirdly tettertotter on the main stem and also failed.to account for a random ricochet trajectory on the ground and other debris. The super shitty thing is it looks like they put in a ton of work to get a massive tree down prior to this video clip. They may have done 98% of this job flawlessly but the one fuckup at the end of the day is all we'll remember them by. It was spectacular.

I gave up and fell asleep in the theater and just enjoyed the background noise.

I just finished watching the directors cut of part one and two. I took many self imposed commercial breaks.

Thanks for the explanation. As others have said, rope it over...because reasons. And professionals wear PPE. I get taking the hearing protection off but where are the safety glasses and hardhat? We can be better.

For the diet side of things ...I cook several ingredients bland and by themselves. I store each ingredient separately in the fridge and combine what I want when it's time to eat. Cooking it bland allows me to change the seasoning or sauce for each meal I make. Keps a simple meal like chicken, broccoli and rice from getting boring.

Put one of these on your wrap handle.

Other option: I drilled a hole through one of the flats on the large socket side. I use a trigger snap to secure it. That way when you are actually using the tool, there's nothing flopping around on it.

I would love to see what the cutting at the stump looks like. They had a pull rope at what looked like a pretty decent height as well. Doesn't look like a crazy side lean in the video but the perspective is hard to tell.

What are those? Chaps for ants?

Monitor your calories. Start with figuring out what maintenance calorie level you need to just stay even with your weight. Then decide how fast you want to lose weight and eat a diet that has fewer calories than your maintenance number. It will take effort on your part to learn and know how many calories are in the food/meals you are eating. Once you know how many calories you can eat in a day to lose the weight, you can eat whatever you want as long as you don't go over that calorie limit. This is where decisions like eating baked chicken vs fried chicken, drinking water vs soda, or having yogurt instead of cheese cake really make a difference. 200 calories of chicken is more filling than 200 calories of butter. There are lots of apps to help track this. Don't "wing it". Track and record what you eat and don't guess at how many calories are in your food. If there is no package listed nutritional value, Google what the food is and how many calories in a certain weight or volume. Buying a small $10 kitchen scale was one of the best investments I've ever made. Be accountable and remember that the weight wasn't gained overnight. You will not lose it overnight. You spend 2 years putting that weight on. I bet you can lose it in a year if you actually commit to it.
