makes sense the way he was stuffing them about
IIRC there are 3 lever boxes about but not as complex as he appeared to be making it

Seen twin sticks, not three. What country was it?

was gonna say it's not the first time I'd seen the plague in Oz ... didn't think it was that far back though, as had no 'puter in '84 ... must've been similar since 2000 too -- learnt to drive a 'puter in 2000

Have you seen film of the 1950's rabbit plague? - quite something.

There have been quite a few mouse plagues over the years - this one is a huge area, but limited to the west coast

That about a fence? Got. Dvd with something like that on it. Worth a watch?

There was definitely a similar plague in the last 10 years or so as I initially thought this was an old article.

Think the guy talking about his flame throwing in the 80s was in response to a plague in the last decade.. he’s an older chap talking about his younger days. and now it’s (mouse plague) is happening again and the old article is flagging up

Yeah - the book / film is the story (loosely) based on three girls who didn't like being taken from their family and relocated to 'an approved' settlement.
The black line shows where they walked - for scale, they walked 1600km.

Think the guy talking about his flame throwing in the 80s was in response to a plague in the last decade..

The '80's plague started in north-west victoria and spead across victoria and most of NSW.
The current one is a few thousand km to the west.
Apart from the snakes loving it, we'll probably have an owl plague next .

 

[Maxus]

Definitely made me go 'wow!'

 

[Canal Navvy]

That was a good watch, read about it in Simon Winchesters book "Exactly" which starts with the achievement of being able to machine a cylinder to within a tenth of an inch and works its way through ever increasing exactitude all the way up to ASML

How the smacking hell is he reaching the rollers for the tilty ?

Good luck ‘feeling’ the underground services etc…
Would be fine in a quarry though (but AI will soon sort that without the guy in the chair)

 

[Gecko]

Not sure if it should be here or the AI thread.

The local sales platform is being overrun with AI generated ads.
This listing is only for the vice, but there are so many things wrong

-Two power cables (going to random places)
-Three chucks
- the video showed all three chucks turning and feeding at the same rate
- the drillbit in chuck-2 has a gap in it
- nothing to stop the front vice jaw rotating around the screw
- seems to have power-feed (the quill advanced without a hand operating it)

 

[sfrs4]

It's obviously one of the new power height adjustable, multi position in all 360deg's vice's, with the three stage chuck for drilling multiple holes at a time using Bluetooth drill bits, worth thousands that is
