Thank you very much, so much fun and information. Like a mini education peppered with so-that's-how-it's-done.

I wasn't going to make any comments but "driver almost misses" has forced me to.
ReplyDeleteSo first - "idiot drills" obviously isn't a professional criminal as they all know you use a brushless drill motor for this.
Second "train v truck" is a good example of it usually takes more than one failure to make an accident.
Last "driver almost misses" makes a good case for summary execution.
Apparently the driver whose almost missed was tracked down by the authorities. https://shareably.net/driver-ignors-accident-caused/
DeleteI don't think anyone is isolated enough to be self-made at anything, but as far as billionaires go, Oprah Winfrey is about as close as a person can get.
ReplyDeleteTrained border collies are pretty amazing. Untrained border collies are amazingly obnoxious.
ReplyDeleteKirsten Kirksen has a (IMHO, better) video about the castle building as well.

Interestingly, the rebuilders of Notre Dame have taken instruction from the castle builders.
