Who knows if there's a use for this thread, but I sometimes just want to point out something of interest, or make a random post about nothing in particular, and can't find a place for it.

This machine is impressive, and I could have used it in my last job:

I got a new helmet.

I picked up a Nolan N85 full-facer on sale. I like it. It seems to be comfy and it has a flip down sunshade so I don't have to carry multiple pairs of glasses or shields.

I can't stop playing with my helmet, though. I've been touching it all weekend.

This bridge needs to be raised: ...
Juni, an Interstate-5 overpass in my town was the last remaining bridge to be raised to standard along the entire I-5 corridor. It had already been scraped many times. I was standing near it with several co-workers when a rig towing a HUGE backhoe-like digger slammed into the bridge. Much of my town is built on sand, so the ground shook like Jell-o. The bridge-replacement timeline was bumped up after that one. :eek:

Is there a chef in the house? I have no idea what these knives are for. I picked them up on two occasions from the same thrift store. The closest thing I've seen on the internet is a "tomato knife," but they aren't quite the same. They're not filet knives, either (I have several of those). It's been a kitchen mystery in my house for years. I use them mainly to core out grapefruit, but they're not grapefruit knives either (not flexible enough).

Chefs in China make Urine Boiled Eggs.

Yes, the eggs are made in urine, and they have been making it for thousands of years! The urine is collected from local schools and the very best comes from boys under 10 years old. “They pee in buckets and we collect it fresh every day," explained chef Lu Ming."




Ming says that the eggs are delicious and healthy and make you stay awake and sharp. Ming is looking forward to a project to export Urine eggs to other countries and make it 'A big thing'.
