So THAT'S why power companies are supposed to trim trees

rich_magnet says...

Interesting how there is a jacob's ladder effect. It appears the main arc is branch-branch and the arc rises in the smoky plasma, as with a jacob's ladder.

Drug Wakes Up Woman In A Coma After 2 Years

BSR says...

I thought she would stay awake. When the drug started wearing off I was instantly reminded of Jacob's Ladder. The brief time she spent awake must seem like a dream turned into a nightmare. Was it real?

I'M NOT A VEGAN

Sagemind says...

There is a huge Vegan debate on which is trying to balance the health benefits, and animal cruelty with the right to chose and to continue eating what we know and were brought up with.

This video is not here to debate so much as air both sides equally.
People will always make their own choice despite any evidence thrown at them. We're on the first couple steps on a tall ladder - that;'s all

A Ladder Fire Truck Is Driven Like A Boss!

Buttle says...

Some ladder trucks do have four wheel steering, with two steeering wheels, operated by two separate drivers. I'm guessing this is one of those.

That's similar to how a Skyline GTR uses its four wheel steering.

Ladder truck

radx says...

Like accidentally pushing something over the edge of the platform? Or not securing the cargo and have it shaken overboard by vibrations during the move? Or having the top of the ladder come loose from the railing? Or the railing itself?

Nah, it's fine, just fine.

But I am curious. I have had to move a few times, and I have helped friends move a few times as well, for a total of maybe ~15 times. And the light stuff they put on the platform in this video has never bothered me. Granted, it has never been higher than 12th floor for me, but hauling bulky, "low-weight" stuff downstairs -- no issues. It's the heavy stuff through narrow stairwells that's been a pain in the behind. Yet they don't seem to have a net or tension belts attached to it, so do they use it for bulkier/heavy stuff as well?

Am i the only one who sees a potential accident?

It does however seem like a cool way to get shit up and down.

Probably should have tested that first

Fear of heights will not deter this dad

newtboy jokingly says...

I've found that the material the ladder is made from has no impact on how hurt I get when I fall off of them. I've done extensive testing in this area.

I don't mind heights when I know I'm safe (looking off of high buildings, etc) - what really gets me though are aluminum ladders...man those things feel so unstable lol. A nice stiff fibreglass ladder is fine though. Weird.

Pipe Cutting Mistake

ulysses1904 says...

Reminds me of when I was helping my neighbor cut branches. He was at the top of an extended ladder that was leaning against the branch he was chainsawing, about 20 feet up. I'm bracing the ladder and I realize once he cuts off the outer part of that branch the remaining part is going to be a whole lot lighter, and the ladder won't be leaning against it anymore. He was grateful I brought it to his attention, to say the least.

Ralph Nader on Trump’s Speech to Congress

poolcleaner says...

Nobody wants to hear these inconvenient truths. Corporations that do business with Walmart give their lowest quality grains and products. It's practically returning to feudalism. Here is your lower class food, peon. Let my massive wealth create another low paying job for you. Oh, college education? Here's a low paying shitty job for you, as well. Unless you like climbing corporate ladders by using other people as stepping stones. This world: brought to by the ruling sociopathic elite. Here's an anonymous reporting system for you to minimize and abuse people who violate your social order. You work faster than everyone else but you talked too much according to anonymous reports, tsk tsk, human resources reeducation after investigating that although you are a superior worker, you talk too much.

Vietnamese Tactical Third Floor Infiltration (Like A Boss)

Drachen_Jager says...

I hear the American Army's set to pay three billion for ten of these.

Seriously, though, it's pointless on the first floor, a ladder would work better on the second, and from the fourth on up it won't work at all. You're really badly exposed (especially after all that careful wall work getting into position) and the guy climbing has very little recourse if he's noticed before he clears the balcony (needs both hands to climb, can't duck back out of sight, he's a sitting target).

Skillful, yes, but it's more of a circus act than a practical method of entry.

Top Democrats All Agree with Trump's Immigration Plan / wall

vil says...

Its basically all in the video, there are physical barriers already out there, it is a long term problem that has been improving lately, there is probably not much more protection a big wall would provide over a symbolic fence (only effect is length of tunnel/ladder required). Everyone agrees on illegal vs. legal, prostitution and drugs can not be eradicated, only limited, by making the little girls illegal you push them in peril. One could improve the situation by cooperating with the government of Mexico and border states, border towns, by making the legal waiting line clear and bearable, Trump is the elephant in the porcelain shop on all of this, making things worse.

Simple solutions to complicated problems... never mind.

Are americans really competing with illegal immigrants for jobs?
Is it that hard to get an education in the US that would get you past the dish-washing stage? IDK.

Why are the rules for employing illegal imigrants so hard to uphold? Could it be because it is impossible? Because no-one else would be willing to do the work for the money available in the local economy? How would the overall situation change if rules on "legalising" some of these people were relaxed instead of tightened? If they can hold a job for months or years without commiting any law violations besides going past the validity of their work permit they deserve at the very least permanent residence over all the trash living on social security just because they were born a few miles north.

If they are living and working and not doing any wrong, you should keep them regardless of... whatever.

BTW I happen to agree with what you wrote about that commercial 100%, Bob. Just probably from a different point of view. Its propaganda fairy-telling without a good point.

If I really wanted to move to the US I would make absolutely sure I had a plan on what to do there. Not just get in at all costs. Like the Budweiser guy (but better beer).
