You’re bragging to a hobo about having spare time and not working

Odd, always thought it was when a pastor says, "I now pronounce you husband and wife."

I was 8 minutes in and realized I couldn’t commit 30

Very cool though.

I love watching these manufacturing videos. Everything is interesting about the process from the chemistry/science that goes into it, the power required at the facility to do the process, the hydraulic systems required to bend that large of steel, the lift equipment they use to move it to different stages and the safety element of the workers working around steel heated to thousands of degrees.

There is a TV show called "How It's Made". I could sit and watch it for hours.

I always wanted to see a "How's It's Made" episode on the TV show "How It's Made".

It is a great show.

Coincidentally, I recently watched a vid on how cruise liner anchors work. I thought it was gonna mainly be about the hook in the mud, but learned an anchored ship stays in a fixed place mainly because of the multi-tons of weight from the chain dropped.

Yep, I often wondered if these were forged or not.

Love watching these "how they are made" vids, blows my mind the tech some companies have.
