Just This !

I LOVE this description!

Having been,on occasion, the person tied into a tree with the chainsaw in hand; you have got to KNOW/LIVE that knowledge or bad things will happen.

Well done. Accolades. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

tyler, at the point where torsion is not applied makes a shallow pie cut(open face), The compression wood is then somewhat relieved, this opens the tree up for barber chairing which can be extremely fatal. The part I decieded to film at is when he stepped and bucked down into a lower and more ducked position incase of minor barber chairing which can occur but isn’t likely if you make your cuts right. Hickory like this is strong meaning a 5% hinge is critical. burrow cut/plunge cut into the center than move tword the face cut to make a 5% hinge. the back wood and the hinge spot are what we call fiber plates that are holding that tree together, the back is under tension, the hinge under compression. after moving forward to leave 5 % hinge, cut backwards in the plunge cut tword yourself till a tension fiber plate of 5% is remaining. When their is still potential for spring loading your spar/snag while bucked in, it isn’t wise to continue your borrow/ plunge cut out the back twords your face as you can buckle your arms and saw chuck your face or not get your saw out fast enough to prepare for the pop and release. Tyler is tied in to a tree adjacent to him but on MRS/DRT and not as a trunk anchor and not in the best spot, it’s back up so he doesnt whip if he gaphs or spikes out from spring back. The other method used often is called double bucking with a sinching method or spar anchor to prevent this. Either way you never cut twords your face on a spring loaded spar/snag. Tyler than finishes the back fiber plate off full throttle with a simple back cut. static lowers his chainsaw after knuckle pucking the chainbrake foreward and rushes to brace pushing away from the spar as it crashes to the grown missing the targets near by and freeing it’s self from the tree its few tips were tangled in.

IN THE REAL WORLD, WHEN WOULD THIS EVEN BE REALLY CONSIDERED ……

Just do not understand. 😳. ☹️

An observation hiking, Out and about a couple days ago.

Not all that unusual of a sight, except that was in Wisconsin on January 17th (above the 45th parallel) , the temperature was 34F. The only time the temperature was above 27F in the previous nine days and every day since. That little guy should be hibernating this whole time. ! Today started out at -3F. It’s COLD.

Would this now mean. That these countries , with Russian citizens in then, are now eligible for Russian invasion and annexation .? Seems to be the trend. Especially if it is a country with a shared boarder.

Latest on EU-Russian borders:

🔹66 000 Russian citizens have entered the EU over the past week, a 30% increase in comparison to the preceding week

🔹Most of the Russian citizens are entering the EU through Finnish and Estonian border crossing points

I hate that this came from tictocky, but no better advertisement for physics and older people’s experiences.practical applications of their the knowledge. They drink and know things.

And he thought mom was naive....

Absolute TRUTH ! ! !

How can people not get this. Almost all of you know people like this (they’re old now and mostly dead). However the ones that followed to displace selected autocratic leaders, you do know. Iraq……… …..Afghanistan……others also…….and now Ukraine, yes independent Americans are fighting with them.

Stop being hypocritical and defend democracy instead of tearing it up.

When the mace

Doesn’t smash your face

That’s amoreè

You cannot imagine how much I wish this!!!!!

I started with computers, hacking a Commodore 64, building my own board for new chips,

When there were no mice to click. ! You had to type everything. And write your code to make it work.

When I got a power Mac and access to real processing chips, I thought I was in heaven.

Now there are so many barriers to doing any of that, and they tell me this makes it better for me !

NO, IT DOESN’T. !

When I actually buy something I get to do whatever the fuck I want with it, because I bought it. !

I take complete responsibility for doing risky things. That’s all on me.

The old, good internet deserves a new, good internet

I miss the old, good internet, but I don’t want to bring it back.

I want a new, good internet. One where users can’t be locked in because we make it legal to:

• reverse-engineer products and services, so you can leave a social media platform but still send and receive messages from the people you leave behind;

• jailbreak your devices so you can remove antifeatures like surveillance, ink-locking or repair-blocking; • move your media and files out of the silo whence they originated and into any player you want.

I want a new, good internet where we constrain the conduct of tech companies, banning unfair labor practices, deceptive marketing, corporate hostage-taking and other forms of rent-extraction.

I want a new, good internet where it’s both illegal to impose bossware on your employees, and where those employees can legally hack the bossware their bosses shove down their throats.

I want a new, good internet where creative workers and their audiences can reliably connect with one another, where news reporting isn’t held hostage to extractive processes.

I want a new, good internet where we seize the means of computation so that the digital infrastructure that connects our romantic, personal, political, civic, economic, educational and family and social lives is operated by and for the people who use it.

Meet the closed bottle gentian.

It’s a native wildflower in these parts. These are in one of my garden views. Saw them a couple years back in state forest, so those I could not “rescue”. Not being able to find them anywhere else, I broke down and ordered them from Prairie Nursery.

The cool thing about this bottle neck type is that these are shown in fully blooming. The petals never open. But pollination does occur when a large bumblebee wrestles and forces it’s way inside.

INCREASE WATER QUALITY. REBOG !
