I always found this one interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7sRrC2Jpp4 It's a guy talking about kickback, and demonstrating how to avoid it It should be cued up (Edit: it's not, go to 2:30) to the part that was really interesting though, which is where, even though he knew exactly what was going to happen, he still ended up almost losing a finger. Table saws are dangerous if you're not careful, and I say that as someone who has had 16 stitches and 2 flayed open knuckles because of one. The only reason I still have my right pointer and middle fingers is because of dumb luck that the saw teeth never caught a ligament or bone, just flesh.

Certainly you'd notice and do something about your fingat being disintegrated if you were in your right mind. I'd be willing to bet it wasn't ground off, but rather he was the victim of the worst paper cut in history (the belt acting as a band saw)

Double cross posting this, just to break up the horribly depressing turn this thread has taken. Can anyone explain what the hell happened? (also, I'm guessing '68 dart?)

The ones I have (69597) aren't even listed as an option. I have no idea if they are safe or not.

That appears to be 2 different loads (the drive by and the crash), but holy poo poo I hope that guy's insurance was paid up.

I went to Ireland last year and I was afraid to rent a manual because while I drive one every day, I thought that being on the opposite side of the road and also having to learn to shift with my left hand would be too much to process. As it was I loved driving in Ireland and I only got honked at once in 8 days because I hosed up at a roundabout and cut someone off, otherwise it was awesome.

StormDrain posted:Hell yeah manual rental in Ireland buddy. I only remember stalling out leaving the lot, and the rest was gravy. I read beforehand that they have some of the worst drivers in Europe, behind Italy, Spain and Greece and I think that put me on alert, but overall it was fine. Some of the best navigational signage I've seen as well, although heavy on text due to having two languages. No I totally chickened out and got an automatic. I found Ireland a dream to drive in. I was in Naples about 15 years ago, that was loving terrifying. I had planned on driving to Rome from Naples, after the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel where we a) almost ran over about 400 people on scooters b) narrowly dodged a car fire in the middle of the highway and c) nearly hit about 400 pedestrians I cancelled the car rental and bought train tickets.

Seat Safety Switch posted:No, urban Italians are expert precision drivers. You could put a Roman 16-year-old on an autocross course blindfolded and they would get #1 in raw time. Yeah that cab driver, while insane, was an amazing driver. My biggest shock was the car fire. There’s a 6 lane highway that has walls on both sides (possibly the a3 based off of google maps) and the car was on fire in the middle lane going towards the coast. This would have been probably around 3 in the afternoon. There wasn’t a traffic jam. Everyone just dodged out of the way at the last second. It was insane. I drive every day in Philly, the north east corridor is known for its rear end in a top hat aggressive drivers. It is nothing compared to Italy.

No pics, but a friend of a friend In Philly, our roads are loving awful. If they aren't filled with pot holes, they are graded and waiting to be re-paved, so you spend pretty much all of your time dodging manhole covers that can be as much as 2" above the road surface. You already see where I'm going with this, but somehow he wasn't paying attention to the fact that he was driving on a graded road, didn't raise the truck and managed to total the truck on a manhole cover. I know he bent his frame, I'm not sure how much else was hosed. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Jul 15, 2022 |

Never have I ever installed an aftermarket stereo to find that it didn't fit, so I didn't beat the poo poo out of the structural member keeping it from fitting with a hammer and a piece of wood so it would fit better, and then find out the other side of that structural member was attached to the heating core by the fact that my floor mats were now a weird neon green color due to antifreeze leaking into the car.

Krakkles posted:There's a bunch of cars in the beginning of that video that appear to have landed on rocks or tree roots after being thrown by a tornado - was that after a natural disaster, or is Philly just like that? Looks like the property owner put the logs and rocks there so people wouldn't park there. (I'm currently sitting 10 minutes away from that intersection!)
