Everything degrades over time, that's a given, nothing lasts forever. But if they relieve the weight from the mechanical bearings with magnets, then they might last quite a bit longer before needing service.

True that, and very well explained I might add.

Now, if I were on their engineering team, I'd probably try a combination of magnetic and roller bearings. Use magnetic bearings to support the weight, while securing everything in place with radial bearings.

That way, the mechanical bearings don't have to support the weight, magnets can take care of most if not all of that, saving undue wear and tear on the mechanical bearings.

I dunno, just a thought.

How much can really wear out on them though? The bearings? Those can be replaced as necessary of course.

I'd think their only true weakness would be during strong storms like hurricanes or tornadoes where wind gust speeds rapidly change faster than the mechanism can manage to furl and unfurl to keep up. In those situations, you'd basically have to completely close them up and shut them down until the bad weather passes.

I dunno, but other than that it seems like a promising technology, and you can pack a whole lot more of them onto a smaller space of land.

I ended up giving them a hand sanitizer bath with a hair brush, then mostly dried them off with paper towels. They're so much cleaner now, and they loved it!

Chickens also have feathers, beaks, claws, etc..

Isn't that the entire purpose of the meat processing industry? To separate the different parts and edible meats?

This sounds about as much bullshit as if I tried to sell a bicycle with 'airless tires', only to sell a bicycle with flat tires.

Like seriously, WTF?!

Disclaimer: I'm not a sponsor, I just believe this is the future of wind based energy. It doesn't require any sort of braking mechanism, and also takes up far less land space..

Your breasticles aren't quite in the right places. I declare Artificial Intelligence jank.

Jackson County Mississippi. George Martin City Park to be exact. They've never ventured much outside of the park since they were dropped off.

I know, I've actually been there before 😭

They are strays at our city park, some heartless prick dropped them off around last April. They need a forever home, somewhere with a wide open but fenced in field to play. And yes, they must be adopted together.

We do what we can in the meantime, keep them fed, watered and cleaned up. But we cannot adopt them, apartment rules forbid it, plus they're too hyperactive to stay indoors for long.

Update: I gave them both a scritchy brushy bath with hand sanitizer today. Not only removed the sap, but they both let me wash and brush their entire back and sides with hand sanitizer!

They're two very happy puppers today.

Quick update on the pups...

They both got a hand sanitizer bath with a hairbrush today. Pine sap be gone, plus they're a hella lot cleaner.

Animal Control has already tried to catch them. No dice so far. Police know about the situation, and come to check on them occasionally and even give them treats.

In the meantime, we, along with other volunteers, manage to bring them something to eat and some water every day.

But guess what? Today I gave them both a brushy bath with hand sanitizer, and it worked great!

 

For context, there are two stray dogs at our local city park that we can't outright adopt, apartment rules say no pets, but we've been doing our best within our means to care for them at the park in the meantime.

Clearly it ain't scissors, but what actually is it?

I've actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.

Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.

What would you do?

That's actually my old hairbrush. I just pressure washed it, so it's totally clean. The faded ends of the bristles are because the brush itself is over 25 years old.

 

I'll start.. toilet paper, tampons, and QTips...

 

I dunno, English is a funny language isn't it 😂

 

And why the hell are they even associated in the first place?

 
 

Did they determine this by comparing what DNA fragments they've managed to recover, or by physical skeletal structure similarities, or what?

I'm no expert in the field, but I just don't see it.
