I don't think people realize how much is still done by hand, even in the machine era. No question. However, even those machine processes can be fascinating. There’s a show we used to watch a lot that my Mom has recently rediscovered called How it’s Made. i don’t know if it’s still in production, but it’s definitely airing in rerun-a-thons. And the name says it all- that’s all they show: how different things and products in the world are made. There’s no rhyme or reason, it’s just…short mini-documentaries on how something- candy, instruments, car parts, sports equipment, etc.- gets fashioned from its based elements to finished products. Some of what shows up is artisan/craftsman made. Some are recognizable global brand name products. It’s really a series with something for everyone. And as surfergirl points out, some of the manufacturing processes depicted do have steps that are done or supervised by human workers, not just machines. 3 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

surfergirl Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 How it's made: This is an AkuShaper, which is the machine we. It takes about 20-30 minutes to rough shape a board. Once it comes off the machine it takes about 4-6 hours(not counting time for the resin to dry between steps)to finish, sometimes more.There is a minimum of 4 steps done by 3 or 4 workers to finish. https://youtu.be/U4qsCJM5t1U 2 1 Quote Jenny S.

That's me, that's a snowblower, that's the SUV I had at the time to the right (that's its tail-light peeking out there to give you an idea of how much snow was on top of it), that's snow that I measured being 48" deep in places, all of which came down pretty rapidly over the course of a day and a night here in 2017... 1 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! I might be farther north than you are (about 25 miles south of the Canadian border) but snow that sticks on the ground is not that common. We are right on the coast, behind islands. What's fun here is a mixture of layers of snow and ice on hills. A Subaru will get you up almost anything, going downhill requires expensive tires that you might only need briefly once a year. Or you can just slide "into the ditch". I chose a location that is a fairly short walk to groceries (3 different stores in 3 different directions) and just leave the car sit sometimes. We do get a foot or two of snow once in a while but then the rain comes and then it freezes and sometimes more snow - layers. My golden rule is "snow boots and walk where there are no footprints. Much less slip and slide. Last winter it got all the way down to 9 degrees one evening, that's the first time in the 17 years I've lived here that it got so cold. For all that, we have the best summers I've ever experienced. 2 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

In January 1985 there was one morning where it was 20 below zero outside, and it warmed up to zero later in the day. I had to work, so I drove in that bitter cold. The heater in my car got up to kinda warm, but that was it. In January 2013 I had a hearing in Livingston County Circuit Court for a lawsuit I had. It was 13 below zero that morning. When my lawyer showed up, I told him "Jim, we're the only ones here. There are literally no other human beings in the circuit court section of this building." We had to reschedule the hearing, because while I was able to drive forty miles in that bitter cold, and my lawyer drove about sixty miles, none of the judges, clerks, bailiffs, or anyone else working there drove to work that day. 1 Quote I rock; therefore, I am.

I've got relatives in Minnesota so I totally get that 9 degrees is not as cold as it gets. 😇 Long ago, my cousins sent us a letter (I was in Fresno, where hot is HOT), it was winter and they were all huddled together by the fireplace. It was around 70 below plus a wind chill factor and the heating oil froze in the pipes so the fireplace was all they had to keep from turning blue. I chose Bellingham for many reasons but relatively mild weather was not the least of them. In general, the East Coast and Midwest gets MUCH colder (and hotter in the summer) than the West Coast. I timed it well, it's expensive to move here now but in 2006 it was very reasonable. 2 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Dannyalcatraz Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Do you want a good laugh? A really good laugh? There’s a UK-based comedic troupe that has done a few plays and now have a TV series. The core conceit is that they’re a community theatrical group trying to do some quality work…and things go wrong. EPICALLY wrong. Snowball down a mountain wrong. Spinal Tap wrong. The best summary description I can give it: high-brow slapstick, well-performed. I’ve personally seen The Play That Goes Wrong online and in a theater with friends & family. I’ve seen Peter Pan Goes Wrong online, as well as excerpts from A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong. And I just this past October discovered our local PBS station is airing The Goes Wrong tv show, and I’ve caught 2 of the 30 minute episodes. Check your local listings and theater schedule! They have been touring the Play for a while, now, and they’re playing the Kennedy Center next year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goes_Wrong_Show https://broadwaygoeswrong.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pan_Goes_Wrong https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7766092/ 5 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Ivan May Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 A 90-minute documentary on Bill Watterson, the influential yet reclusive creator of Calvin and Hobbes. This documentary is a very good one, and probably the best documentary I have watched in years. Featuring interviews from fellow cartoonists such as Stephan Pastis and Berke Breathed, the documentary is everything you need to know about the 6 year old and his tiger but were afraid to ask. I hold Watterson in the same regard as Charles Schulz and Stephen Hillenburg. He is a constant source of inspiration to every cartoonist he has influenced, and despite the fact that he hates the idea of being a celebrity, he is still a genius. A reclusive genius, but still a genius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
