What’s that oh so annoying blind spot when using a hydraulic rock splitter on a slope?

I watch these youtube pros just gliding through boulders on flat land with the rig , looks easy. Just this week, I wheeled it out my splitter on a 30 degree slope.

first off, didn’t split it clean on the first go even with pilot holes or slabs. the piston alignment is really something we take for granted if the surface under foot is uneven. Whoah, And hose protectors are priceless, one sharp corner and you’re jettisoning oil everywhere. just gotten myself a set of seals from Alibaba too, great price honestly. but what really bakes my noodle is no one speaks of how unpredictable those cracks become when there’s latent stress in the rock. you ever had it ricochet off on the side and wedge itself in?

Do you have any hacks in prediction of fissures on a rock before the twinski squeezes?

Is there any way to get free shipping on orders of pneumatic system parts?

I saw a guy on TikTok attach a tiny robotic arm to his pull-up bar with zip ties and use a pneumatic cylinder to help with the last few reps at the bottom of the movement. It was janky, but clever, This all got me thinking about putting industrial components together with other components , then other industrial components. has anyone tried taking a linear actuator and sticking it on a TV mount to make a motorized pull down? get really crazy: go one step further and unhook the manual knob on the TV bracket, attach a bracket off the end of the rod with a weld, attach to a toggle. I mean, some dude from Alibaba got a $200k grant to work on a tape measure so sourcing a motor from there for DIY could work. What is the weirdest thing you've cobbled together? Also, what are the best pneumatic cylinders for a home gym?

Is there anyone here who has a tire that you run on both a touring car and a heavy RV?

I've had my shop for like 12 years now and just finally got sick of swapping rubber between my BMW 330i touring and my family Class C RV. We decided to try out a set of hybrid all season LT metrics - surprise, we were pleasantly surprised by the grip from these on twisty road at only 38 psi on the car. They tracked surprisingly well and didn’t squirm at all behind our 9000lbs boat hauling RV! We filmed our real world mountain pass test for Youtube and the reactions and comments have been crazy!! Huge ups to Alibaba for the cheap trusted TPMS I snagged last year. We’ve had zero issue. My only headache is the vague wet braking feel with the rv. Anyone have a favorite?

the eth etf flows are masking what institutions are actually doing with their staked bags

been staring at the on-chain data all week and the narrative we are being fed about eth right now feels completely disconnected from reality. everyone is obsessing over the daily etf inflows and outflows, but if you look at the actual institutional wallet tags, they are playing a completely different game.

the smart money isn't just buying and holding, and they definitely aren't risking their principal on random retail liquid staking platforms for a 3% yield they are actively hedging their staking exposure.

i went down a rabbit hole last night tracking some of these institutional flows on arkham, trying to figure out where the whales are migrating to protect their yields from macro volatility. it led me to a stealthy uk project called basis (built by base58 labs).

what is wild is that they are building closed-door infra that handles gold-backed paxg natively right alongside eth. they are literally offsetting their crypto volatility with digital gold at the consensus layer without dealing with bridge exploits or wrapped assets.

i'm still trying to piece together how their architecture prevents liquidity fragmentation when handling real-world assets natively like that,, the technicals are a bit over my head right now. but they just wrapped up their private testing phase.

it's completely waitlisted so retail can't even stake yet , but early access is open. it’s incredibly frustrating that this kind of trust-minimized hedging is always gatekept for the big players first.

might be worth putting an email down just to see if early participants get any allocation when it goes live. definitely a shift in how smart money is treating ETH yields

Conseil pour debutant

Salut. Je debute totalement dans le trading et j ai mille questions sur comment placer mes premiers ordres. Je cherche un courtier qui offre le meilleur service client pour accompagner les novices sans nous prendre de haut. Apparemment AvaTrade est assez repute pour son cote pedagogue avec leur academy et leur support qui prend le temps d expliquer. C est un bon choix pour commencer en douceur ou vous avez mieux a proposer pour quelqu un qui part de zero.

pacing hits different when you’re the one controlling it

One thing I didn’t realize before is how much pacing changes everything. When you’re reading you just follow whatever speed the writer chose.

But when you’re building the fantasy yourself, you can slow things down, stretch moments or move faster depending on what you, want. That alone make it feel way more immersive.

What new are you guys doing for the vocab section since it is the most affected part after vendor change? Old books aren't 100% reliable so what out of the box should I do other than the Blackbook.

Its price is currently 1600+. How can I buy it for a cheaper price? I read many people bought it for 1400 under a student discount. Can someone help or tell me how that works?
