In this episode on Tekniq, let us observe the mesmerizing process of developing a ball-shaped showpiece from glass and various other shapes from Himalayan salt.
Video of people making crazy crystal balls
I cannot possibly imagine not doing this job in a fully sealed deep diving suit with a hepa filter and chainmail from head to toe.
Silicosis is a fucking nightmare on par with mesothelioma and emphysema.
Honestly, this is actually one of the times where the satirical word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is actually applicable!?
Yeah, the N95's are a good step, but probably not enough. Some people weren't wearing masks at all.
Also, It didn't look like any of the saws had good safety stops, the angle-grinders were taped down, and the guy cutting the balls seemed to be really close to getting a (gloved) hand sucked into the saw.
Definitely not the worst safety, but people are definitely getting hurt at this job site. And this is what they considered good enough to show on Youtube, so probably worse than we think...
Very cool balls though.
Puncturing the diving suit, and also psychological reassurance being near that massive saw.
Anecdotal but a kitchen I worked at used it for shucking oysters, i.e. specifically to prevent puncture of skin.
They meant puncture as in stabbing the chainmail with a pointy thing vs cutting it. They do offer some protection but it's easier to get through; more force in a smaller area
Yeah it's all about tradeoffs, really. Plate's great but it does weigh and cost more so you wouldn't see as much of it in the field – although it's not nearly as clunky as popularly portrayed because you had to be able to fight in that thing. A lot of the time throwing some mail and a gambeson on a peasant is Good Enough™ for the mass of your army
Depends on the mass of the projectile and the size and material of the rings of the mail.
Thumbnail looks dope, here’s the URL without Google’s shady little tracker if you wanna edit it in:
Edit: this is so cool
I couldn't do that simply because of the sounds.
So many years spent at the clubs my brain is trained that broken glass, bottles skiddling on the street, all those kinds noises, those are warning sounds, the sounds of the night (or morning) needs to wrap the fuck up, where's the car, where's that one friend no one has seen since you parked, let's go, get in.
Ybor will do that to you ....
Sheesh, in San Francisco even closing the afters at 6am isn’t that problematic!
Wonder if the genre or the region has more of an impact. What’d you listen to in Ybor (Tampa?), any house?
Breaks, filthy dirty breaks.
It's the area / Florida. In the mid nineties to mid 2000s it was pretty much a free for all in Ybor. Lots of laws and rules and closing times made as a result of the scene being so absolutely out of hand, not just in the clubs, it was out on and in the streets, alleys, etc etc. People blowing up to the music everywhere... Just over the top Insanity.
Completely and utterly impossible for that to happen today.
I miss it.
Understandable, I would have left the original title intact as well. A real enjoyable video, thanks for posting.
Okay NGL, I would love to have blood red gravel to decorate... Something. If I owned property.
... Huh? No, we don't have that, but we do have "oh shit!" as in "Oh shit I lost another finger!"
