Swearing about talking about walking the rubber knife edge

D4rw1n: That tweet is so meta it crosses from insulting to meta to insulting

Of apples and kites

b1-67er: There are a bunch of rare snails in the Everglades, some native only to a single clump of trees. Many are in trouble because shell collectors poach them for their exotic patterns.

When your nuts shell

b1-66er: The K said Mr. Kimmel was fabulous as the Oscars opener.

He's right.

Must view.

D4rw1n: Looking forward to viewing this. I have watched Kimmel's opening monologue about three out of five nights per week for the last year (delayed, on YouTube). I also watch Seth Myers, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert (on about the same rough frequency using the same platform). I think for the last year Kimmel has been consistently the sharpest

Myers is by far the most surreal. Especially a weekly segment (which I watch pretty religiously) entitled Corrections. It's self-referential bordering on inscrutable, self-deprecating bordering on masochistic, meta bordering on incomprehensible, and wry bordering on unfunny. Which together is super-original and somehow always makes me laugh

Plumbing your belt

b1-67er: A Couple of things could be better on that belt Loader. They connect the belt with a set of wire hoops on each side with a pin through the middle. Those connectors can be dangerous bastards if they get damaged. Imagine a bunch of stiff wires sticking out every which way to grab your clothes and drag you around the belt.

Also the lift cylinder has a bunch of plumbing external on the cylinder. That should all be integrated into the cylinder. Cheaper, safer, more reliable.
