Interesting but what almost happens at about 1:34 is how a lot of farmer get killed with tractor accidents. He caught it in time but with no roll over protection he would have been in trouble.

Just ran across this, clicked because of the bra reference then jaw hit the floor when I saw that they'll cost $550
https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-airp...uble-as-a-bra/

Now here I thought the corded Sony studio headphones I bought for $60 22-23 years ago were pricey........guess that extra $10 I spent for a headphone jack adapter after getting my 11 Pro Max so I could use those old Sony's was money well spent

I wonder who is making them? at 500$ you are just scratching the surface of higher end headphones..it's a lot of moolah though.

Yep, sadly that's not a lot of money for headphones these days. Like most things, they've become a niche market.

I can’t see paying $150 for a set, let alone over $550 with the bra/purse/headphone carrier bag included........that’s at least 2/3 the cost of new tires for my daily and a number of my R/C builds!

Trust me, I get it and fully agree with you. But just like anything else, it's become a hobby for some people, and we all know how that works.

Guess you don't want to be cranking that bad boy up too fast, then again, too slow could be nearly as bad, guess it's a "Damned if you do, Damned if you don't" situation here

I asked for (and thankfully received) a fresh pair of Crocs (in the nifty "Offroad Sport" version, to go with the 2021 Bronco I'll get when I win the lottery) this year for Xmas.

I got a big laugh from the consumer warning tag about watching your step on escalators when wearing the things...

Google it, it seems that just like their namesake, Crocs are causing horrific flesh wounds to the unsuspecting public!

I, for one, will just be watching where I put my damn feet.

(just like I would if I was stomping around in a swamp)

Well, this is a new one, I’ve seen hot paints attack styrene to the point the plastic has started to bubble, but never seen it happen to lexan?!

Maybe if you just leave it alone it will continue to react and end up looking weathered/rusted all over?

Fingers crossed...

It got worse, I laid down more silver before putting a layer of bed liner down and the silver bled through the masking tape on both bodies now too, good thing these are a place holders for now!
