Why was the boat still moving forward ( under power) while dropping the anchor.

#17 HFEs are non-conductive, meaning they can safely be used on live electronics without risk of electrical shock or shorts. They feature zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making them a safer, sustainable alternative to older CFC and HFC solvents. Thanks to low viscosity and low surface tension, the fluid easily drips off complex geometric shapes and evaporates instantly, leaving absolutely no residue behind.

#5 Ruining all that nice copper, this makes me sad.

#3 I always wondered how they made those massive mounds of meat.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
turns out it's by heaping a massive amount of meat in a mound

#15 The only known video of one of those things ever working. Every time I've tried a screw extractor, the fucking thing has snapped off. I just skip straight to welding a nut on to the remaining stud now

I remember reading that as a last resort someone had drilled out the whole shaft in a press and picked out the thread as a coiled wire

#6 that is a lot of forbidden chocolate
OldBikerDude
I saw at least one tool gif

#28 Either someone misspelled "reiniger" (cleaner in german), or it's some product name intended to look like "reiniger", because it would be too generic with just "Felgen Reiniger".

#7 Pretty cool when you think about all the torque the engine puts out is transferred through a couple of small gear teeth.

The anchor rope is terrifying! So many opportunities for those sailors to lose limbs.

#5 are they supposed to be doing that with their bare hands? I feel like they should be wearing gloves or something

#11 I actually kind of liked how it looked 'wet' before it got drained of the excess liquid. Not as a single/solid color, but like an accent.

#1 I did embroidery for a company in the late 90's and would get high at lunch and just watch the designs appear. Was a very relaxing job.

#5 My stupid ass thought he was wiping off all the copper. Copper tinning is actually the process of coating copper with a thin layer of tin to prevent oxidation, improve corrosion resistance, and make the copper safe for food contact. The coating is applied either through electroplating or by melting pure tin onto heated copper.

Decades ago I worked in close proximity to a federal prison (El Reno) wherein some prisoners made brooms. If the wire wrap at the end 1/?

did not "take" or was done incorrectly, it could not be redone rendering the broomstick unusable. My crafty co-worker got wind of this 2/?
happyrabbitzz
and convinced me to pick up a load of broomsticks for her to be used for "some kind of crafts". So I got to go inside to pick them up, 3/?
happyrabbitzz
which included me and my vehicle being stopped and searched going in and coming out. Neither the first nor the last prison I was in.

#25 That's pu-reh being packaged. It's a Chinese style of tea where the leaves are fermented, then formed into cakes.
TerribleBot
And dried ?
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
dried and fermented (and it's Pu Erh, small typo there). You can get some amazing teas in that family, and some VERY expensive ones too.
DickGenie
Mmm BTS food and factories. Perfect combination

I though #1 was going to be an embroidery of an X-Wing and was totally on board.
southflhitnrun
#6 Okay, Wow!

Does toolgifs do anything other than put their logo on content they didn't create?
ALTEFFFOUR
I see your downvotes, but nobody has bothered to contradict me.
judgegrudge
Not to be a pedant but, #1 is an embroidery of a Spitfire, not a Hurricane.
motionDancer
#1 my dad did embroidery but his company he worked for shuttered recently. Sucks because he's like a year away from retirement. My mom was going to retire earlier this year but now she needs to keep working so they can continue to have health insurance until Medicaid or Medicare or whatever kicks in.
TerribleBot
Yes, we see here heavy investments in actual technology.
But if a new technique rises up, or comes cheaper, this company may have to close too ...

#27 I feel like all the steps they risked injury/death over could have been done earlier/safer. But they also look like oh-shit moments following a mistake so I guess they knew that.
AgamemnonsMemes
Honestly it feels like every step was done wrong...
RichardPenne
#13 Looks like they are blowing air onto them with a fan to speed up the process.

#1 but the Hurricane was made by Hawker....
dronir
The Gloster company built Hawker Hurricanes in Gloucester. The Gloucester Hurricanes rugby club is maybe named for that?
BosunMark
lol.. me being a smartass comes back to bite me...
Biggs222
These are all good points... Shame that's a Spitfire they are using on the emblem.SMH

#23 found the toolgif! Long time no see!

I don't even think to look anymore. I'd almost forgotten about toolgif. Good eye!

I think I got most of them, but still missed a lot in such a dump :)

#18 serious question; do shoes with flat soles like that actually have any grip? Or do you slip on smooth or wet surfaces? They LOOK like they'd have fuck-all grip..
