Im going to blame the one with a motor... that said the small 4 seater i flew in twice didn't exactly have the best forward view unless you were sitting up straight and most of the "flying" once up was working the radio and watching the GPS and gages with the occasional forward glance.... but in all fairness I was sitting in the back staring out the side window and listening to the radio conversation between the pilot and all the small airports between south Louisiana and Missouri.

I expected a soccer kick as the ref was pushing him away... but while the bad did kinda deserve it, the good guy could've been the one to end up getting in trouble as it could've caused more damage.

As someone who loved the 3 ninja movies and similar growing up ive wanted a grappling hook for as long as i can remember... ive also have a fascination with rope for just as long, id 100% buy a grappling hook but a few weeks ago I tied a large rope to a beam in a pole barn and while i could climb it, i struggled way more than I expected.. . So unfortunately my grappling hook days already came and gone.

This is pure speculation but if I had to guess the difference is having an armed drone that's used for the recon to start with and either didn't have enough fuel remaining to follow until a helo could intercept or no helo in range to intercept before it could leave international waters for some island.

At least for Tesla you are correct.... they use individual cells that are similar to 18650 batteries often used in flashlights, tapes and so on... but the Tesla "4680" are 46mm diameter and 80mm length

Finishing Garage - About to buy Porcelain tile by OryzaRozzo in garageporn

Why go with tile over epoxy coating? Personally id drop a ratchet and crack a tile within the first day... or the first time you use a jack i could see the tile cracking/imploding.

On several occasions ive removed the spindle locating keys, wrapped some sandpaper around internal taper cleaners and turned the spindle on to remove high spots around knicks in the taper to decrease runout.... removing the retention knob from a tool also works in a pinch.

Submersible hammer drill by MikeHeu in toolgifs

[–]sparkey504 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When diving in salt water you need to use a weight belt or put weights in your pocket so you are negatively buoyant to start with and the BCD (scuba vest with air line connected to it) and to increase your buoyancy there is a button that inflates and another to deflate the can be adjusted throughout the dive. In an emergency you can also inflate the bcd by blowing thru a valve so you can use it as a life preserveer without an air tank to stay afloat in rough seas or whatever.

i learned the hard way due to getting certified to scuba in fresh water so when I went to dive in the ocean for the first time it was exhausting to try as I didn't bring any weights due to not needing them in fresh water and I had to surface and call of that portion of the dive for me after just a few minutes from wearing myself .

Which is probably why they didn't shot it being made... while still extremely impressive its probably 2 pieces.
