I'm surprised that the line does not have a weather coating. It looks like just steel cables. Or maybe that is the protection and the actual electrical conduit is inside, but the outer surface sure looked energized.

I guess I expected a plastic or rubber coating.

Tastes like rubber

Very cool.

I sure would have thought that it would be a platform with hundreds of partially inset mouse/trackballs, rather than treadmills on axes 90 degrees apart. I mean ... sure, any 2D vector can be split into a sum of two orthogonal components. But with redundant inset trackballs you could get stuff like spot pivots that are much finer scale than the scale of the 2-3 inch wide secondary axis treads...

On the other hand, these guys actually have a working prototype, so they clearly thought things through and decided that the orthogonal treadmill solution was better. Rubber meats road trumps off-the-cuff theoretical any day!

I wonder how this method compares to just spraying the liquid butane and whatever directly onto the ice. I suppose it's probably not good for the rubber and polymer parts, but then, neither is fire.

"Rubber" a story about a tire that's going to murder you has been added as a related post - related requested by newtboy.

The Nick Cage clip he pointed to looked like some sort of rubber mask or something, sort-of okay, but the facial expressions just didn't work somehow. We're not at the point where you can fake a tape and experts can't tell the difference.

Nice try. But his wife was suppose to have also run the American Ninja Warrior course for "sensationalism". https://www.snopes.com/arthur-hickenlooper-81-american-ninjaj-warrior/

Brent Steffensen, an American Ninja Warrior competitor who is not 81 confirmed that he was the man inside the rubber mask.

Is American Ninja Warrior achieving singularity with American wrestling?

I hate fucking Marmots -- they eat battery cables and brake lines (yes, really). They're a plague up at Mt. Rainer if you park your car overnight. You'll see cars covered with blue tarps held down by rocks in the parking lots of the park: those are hikers trying to keep the fuckers from eating anything rubber on the car.

Listen -- do you know how much high-grade Peruvian flake we were hoovering back in the late 70's? Steve Martin was the perfect comedian for coke-sniffers: wild and energetic, creative on script and off the cuff. We liked our comedians Wild and Crazy and our afternoon bumps in little McDonald's coffee-stirrer spoons.

Those were the days, my friend, those were the days.

GRAAAAAAAAAAAMPA BOUGHT A RUBBER!

He used an excavator and a bulldozer. Real men use their broken backs and a pick axe. ;-)
30 mil isn't 30 millimeters...his liner isn't over an inch thick...he wishes. I think mine is 45 mil. It's thick rubber.
Cool stuff. He has a different idea of what a pond is and what it's for than I do, but to each his own. He made a great place for the family...but they better learn pond safety...you could lose the whole family in that deep end and never see them.
