Tools in my Toolbox

DRILL PRESS:
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock
out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer
across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully
set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL:
Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench
with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses
from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh shit!"

SKILL SAW:
A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

PLIERS:
Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of
blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER:
An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into
major refinishing jobs.

HACKSAW:
One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It
transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more
you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS:
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing
else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to
the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH:
Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on
fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which
you want to remove a bearing race.

TABLE SAW:
A large stationary power tool common used to launch wood projectiles for
testing wall integrity.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:
Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style
paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be
used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:
A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted
screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

PRY BAR:
A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed
to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER:
A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a
kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object
we are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE:
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered
to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl
records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and
rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but
only while in use.

Son of a bitch TOOL:
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling "Son
of a bitch" at the top of your lungs.  It is also, most often, the next tool
that you will need.

Al Naslaa

This rock formation is called Al Naslaa. The uniform slit between the two standing stones and the flat faces are completely natural. Most likely the ground shifted slightly underneath one of the two supports and the rock split. Could be from a volcanic dike of some weaker mineral that solidified there before everything was exhumed.

Two American Climbers are Stuck on a Mountain in Pakistan and Need Your Help

Aug 31, 2016 By: Leslie Hittmeier Follow

 
American climbers Kyle Dempster and Scott Adamson are stuck on a mountain in Pakistan and need your help.
From GoFundMe:

"On Sunday, August 21, the team started up the North Face of the Ogre II, just off the Choktoi Glacier in Northern Pakistan. They planned on five days for the climb and descent. On Monday evening, their Pakistani cook, Ghafoor Abdul, spotted their headlamps roughly halfway up the peak. The weather remained good until Tuesday afternoon when a storm moved in. Snowfall and cloudy conditions have persisted in the region since then.
Kyle and Scott have not been seen since Monday, August 22, which is no surprise given the complexity and scale of the terrain and the vagaries of the weather. On Sunday, August 28, family and friends initiated a search and rescue effort, assisted by local authorities and another climbing team on the Choktoi.
Please help these boys. With the initiation of the Search and Rescue we have also been required to transfer money for the helicopter rescue and porters on foot in search of Scott and Kyle. With the unpredictable weather we are needing more money every day. Please consider the urgency of this situation and how thankful we are for your help."
One commenter said:
"Our friends and the families of Kyle and Scott are working vigorously with local Pakistani heli, porter, and fellow climbing teams to locate them on the mountain. Weather has not been in our favor. Visibility is next to none. Heli has not been cleared to launch. Our rescue team at basecamp has attempted to climb the descent route but have been turned back due to weather. They will continue to try with each window of opportunity. Yesterday, we were able to send a team off of high altitude porters from the back side of the Ogre, a possible alternate descent Kyle and Scott may have taken from the summit because of the storm. They are hiking in now. It's nighttime there. We hope for progress reports with the morning."

"The more sophisticated our cars and trucks become, the more disconnected we are from the journey they are capable of taking us on. A century ago, traveling almost anywhere by automobile was an adventure; drivers carefully plotted their journey, equipped themselves for unforeseen pitfalls and even dressed to get through the trip safely and comfortably. Driving the muddy ruts and cobbled streets that passed for roads in those early days would be considered off-roading by today’s standards...."

Consent explained perfectly in one hilarious analogy.

Alice Brine is a comedian from New Zealand, and on Tuesday, she made a perfect consent analogy on Facebook. She flipped the script on typical biases against women who are sexually assaulted by wondering what would happen if she stole the possessions of wealthy, drunk men who were technically "asking for it."

Highest mountain climbed by a vehicle

 In 1997, Russia adventurer/madman Alexander Abramov decided it was a good idea to try and drive a Land Rover to the top of Mt Elbrus. They started off driving up to the barrel huts at just under 4,000m where by the vehicle decided it wasn’t having any part in the shenanigans and started to literally fall apart. Undeterred, Abramov and his 10 man team spent the next 43 days winching and hauling the vehicle up, making multiple trips make down to collect parts. Amazingly, on September 13th, they actually managed to drive the vehicle onto the summit, a new a world record as the ‘highest mountain climbed by a vehicle’. One of the team then decided he’d try and drive it back down, promptly losing control and bailing out. The Land Rover still sits on the mountain today.

The history

http://www.7summits-club.com/newssections/all_1/newssection_3_11/item_1409/


11 years ago, on the 13th of September a car “Land Rover Defender - 90” stood on East summit of Mt.Elbrus. The idea to bring a Land Rover car to its summit had become a full-size project in 1996. The project had been initiated by Avtodom, the 1st Channel, Risk company and had been supported by Alpindustria and other organizations.
Alexander Abramov, a climber and the author of the idea and Oleg Bogdanov, a professional driver, became the leaders.

This epic work lasted a year and a half. It started with two tentative attempts and finished with the final and successful 43 days long climbing operation, which included 9 serious breakages, falls into crevasses and many days on end of snow storms.

The results of the expedition were impressive: a lot of unique pictures and video tape footage, four press conferences, dozens of articles and hundreds of notices, the film “Man, car, mountain”, which became the winner of the extreme and adventure films festival “Vertical”

The governing body of Land Rover congratulated the winners and the record was entered in the Guinness Book. Unfortunately, the expedition’s second record was “The highest mountain breakage”, which was duly entered too. The car had crashed on the descent at 5500m (150m under the summit). It is still there on the slope of the highest mountain of Europe and has been a silent reproach for us ever since.

The core of the project

On the 60th anniversary of Land Rover and the 20th of Alpindustria the participants of that expedition are uniting again. Yet, now the aim is to take down the mortal remains of the heroic car and restore the slopes of the great mountain to their pristine state.

The reconnaissance operations on Elbrus will start on the 15th of June and will be led by the well known climber and paraplaner Alexander Koval’, who has about 200 Elbrus climbs in his climbing record.
The technical plan how to bring the car down will be fixed after the close inspection of the remains.

The prospect of using a helicopter seems to be rather remote in view of the altitude, so preliminarily the main variant is to take the car to pieces and transport the parts by cableway, which will go to the easy snow slopes. From the Pastukhov Rocks they can be carried by the Snow Cats. All the works are planned to be conducted from 14th to 31st of July, 2008.

How deep are the Lakes and Oceans

Randall Munroe's xkcd comic today is a chart showing the relative depths of lakes and ocean features. It's best seen at full size. In the small detail shown here, the bow and stern belong to the Titanic. What surprised me the most was the depth of the Deepwater Horizon oil well. Also, check out what James Cameron found in his recent trip to the Challenger Deep. Hover over the original comic for the punchline. Link -via Laughing Squid
