It is pretty much what it sounds like, I somehow ended up with a birdhouse painted by some random kid and i had a food processor and i put the two together with some electrical bits and a motion detector. It would turn on with a five second delay if i stuck anything in the bird house hole. Edit for I like birds. And would not hurt one.

ok so its just a gimmick housing for the food processor and it doesnt sit outside or anything because the alternative is positively psychopathic

But the resulting bloodslurry could be used as a sacrifice and fertilizer to grow heartier crops to feed even more birds. Replace the metal blades with obsidian shards and go full Aztec

But you put a 5 second timer in there to make sure the bird would make itself comfortable instead of being immediately scared away

He needs whole-body protection to save him from the chips of knife that are inevitably going to snap off of that thing. Also the instant he loses the tip of a blade, the whole thing will be unbalanced and start shaking violently out of his hands.

I stayed on a farm in rural Japan and they had bamboo cutters - like a weedeater or string cutter but with a 40-50 cm circular blade. Of course none of them had any kind of guard or shield.

That's the roof of the old AP building on Fleet Street - there's actually flat bits either side of the roof he's standing on, so he wouldn't actually fall that far if he'd lost his balance. However he'd also likely have been standing there in the middle of the night while high explosives and incendiaries rained down around him, with only two buckets of sand to help extinguish any of the latter that dropped nearby. Also that building (along with just about every other building you can see there apart from St. Paul's) was blown up, burned down, or both, in one night, probably not that long after this photo was taken. All in all his lack of fall-arrest gear is the least of his worries.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I've only ever successfully exploded pyrex. I once tried to use a Bernzomatic to melt the neck of a wine bottle, without taking thermodynamics into account. I only heated it from one side, instead of turning it to heat it evenly. The neck went splodey and left little shard of glass all over the kitchen. My wife just looked at me and shook her head. It was so not OSHA.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I've only ever successfully exploded pyrex. Pyrex isn't actually made fro pyrex anymore which is probably why. Pyrex (the glass) is made from borosilicate glass and is loving awesome. Then Cornex sold the brand to someone and they kept the name but started making Pryex (the brand) out of plain old soda-lime glass. Of course they kept charging the same and pocketed the difference. It's OSHA because so many people have trusted their glassware to be both shatter resistant and resistant to thermal shock and gotten a hell of a surprise, and injured, when their lovely glassware exploded on them. Fun fact: You can tell if you have the real stuff or got ripped off by dipping your glassware in vegetable oil. Borosilicate glass has the same refractive index as the oil and will become invisible.

That tie isn’t real. e: While we’re on the subject of dangerous film stunts, I recall a piece of trivia about an older movie where live gunfire was used, with the gun‐wielding actors instructed to aim wide of the lead actor (or stunt double; I forget which), who was standing at a window. Said actor/stuntman had some sense of self‐preservation, so on the first take, he disobeyed the script and hit the deck—which was fortunate, for bullet holes in the back wall suggested he’d be very dead if he’s stayed standing. Does anyone know which film this is from? It may in fact be an urban legend, but considering Noah’s Ark (1928) drowned three extras with a six‐hundred‐thousand‐gallon deluge, I can believe it.

Platystemon posted:That tie isn’t real. The gunfire was James Cagney for Public Enemy. Squibs took decades to be invented and perfected, so for many movies in that period any bullet hits were actually bullet hits. Even after that, sometimes they would do water hits by having someone fire live rounds into a lake or river. And yes, Noah's Ark killed and mutilated a good number of people. It directly led to new safety regulations for stuntwork.
