There's a map I saw a month or two ago that was created by someone that sailed the entire world in the 1400s, and it depicts some wild shit

i miss when the internet had 0 rules its funny how there was less chaos and weirdos back then

#

the rules are somehow making it worse

azure tangle

Pre 2000s internet was far less chaotic.

rain mango
#

i grew up with 2010s internet so it was the beginning of the downfall

carmine monolith

I think its less the rules making it worse, and its just as the technology ages people are more likely to use it.

the rules are just a terrible solution to that problem

I see the same woman complaining about "regulate this, regulate that, force identification online" every week on facebook

Because bricklayers and carpenters imo are both the worst

Painters and roofers have to put up with their shitty half-assed work

Probably about half the chippies I've worked with have been dodgy as hell

azure tangle

Im assuming you're not american

No

Most carpenters I have worked with are genuinely decent people

Its usually painters and drywallers that are aweful

Im a self employed carpenter.

Only thing I cant do is electrical

#

Even when houses do get built, they're often in violation of state building codes

#

So I have to do roofing AND drainage that's up to par over some jackass builder's very much shoddy house

#

All for some poor sod of a family who's been charged way too much

azure tangle
#

Thats why people should shop around first.

#

I've taken a number of jobs from big name companies not only because of being a likable person, but because I don't charge anywhere near what those companies do

#

Did 2 bathroom remodels last summer for less than half of what someone quoted them for one bathroom

#

replaced subfloor and drywall new floor, replaced all fixtures and shit, and still walked away with roughly 250usd/hr

#

It's crazy that companies charge 3-4x what I do and still take just as much time

hollow grove
#

I work for a company with like 12 employees total

Its me and my father

Theres not a lot of female construction workers here either.

I've worked with maybe 3-4

I'm also the youngest by a long shot

Yeah thats another thing entirely. trades here are mostly 40+

I have managed to get a 2nd year with the left handed screwdriver trick

#

well if anyone like aviation uhh

pan am airline is reviving

hollow grove
#

My old man taught me to keep an eye out for it when I was going into this

#

So I have a screwdriver in my toolbox that just has "LHD" scribbled on the handle with a marker

azure tangle
#

I enjoy having the knowledge I do, because I can fix my problems on my home myself, and always have the ability to fall back on a trade

#

And my state doesnt require you to get permits to work on your own home

#

As long as it's not additions

hollow grove
#

Personally while I'm doing pretty good as is right now

#

I don't think I'm cut out for a trade long term

azure tangle
#

I thought that too, but I started at 16

#

So been doing it half my life

hollow grove
#

I also started my apprenticeship at 16

#

But in that time between then and now I've graduated high school and gone into uni

azure tangle
#

Unfortunately, that was never an option for me.

I graduated highschool early to go to the military, but haven't had the financial stability to go to school

there was another nearby school they just demolished entirely

The older blokes at my work are pretty chill

Maybe America is different though

vital marten

Possibly

#

A lot of trades here are populated by either former or current drug addicts, and convicts

Every tradie down here the moment they hit 50 suddenly becomes exactly the same in appearances

#

Wraparound sunnies, literally the worst beard you can think of with a wardrobe that is only high visibility shirts or fleece

Also trades the hilux in for a ram 1500

Not really

vital marten

Lmfao baby roads

#

I hear our vehicles are just really big

hollow grove
#

We can fit hiluxes, landies and patrols just fine

#

American trucks are just fucking huge

azure tangle

Those are smol

And since Australia has been pretty isolated from them the last 60 odd years

Our roads weren't designed to accommodate an F150 with a lift kit and LEDs brighter than the fucking sun

vital marten
#

The leds could be brighter

#

Somebody says this every few years

hollow grove
#

Do you Americans get a kick out of making oncoming drivers blind for a solid minute and a half

azure tangle
#

I prefer halogen lights on my vehicles

#

LEDs are just too much

vital marten
#

Halogen is nice but idk about the heat generation

#

Hot headlights don’t sound nice to accidentally touch

azure tangle
#

But. Winter time you aint gotta scrape your headlights

vital marten
#

True

azure tangle
#

And I live in the midwest

#

Our winters are ass

hollow grove
#

Meanwhile down under

#

I've never seen snow in person before

azure tangle
#

We had like 16 inches a few weeks ago

hollow grove
#

The last time it really snowed in my area was like 60 years ago

#

And even then the snow lasted all of 5 minutes before melting

azure tangle
#

We still have snow from weeks ago xD

#

Its melting now though

hollow grove
#

My area especially is famous for its schizophrenic weather

#

On Monday it'll be a nice warm 42 degrees (101F) with not a cloud in the sky

Usually it’s just Summer or Mild Summer

glass wigeon

last couple of summer where i live in canada

#

it gwas

#

heat waves

#

39+ c with high humidity making it feel like mid 40s

vital marten
#

Canada is melting?

#

More land opportunities whooo

glass wigeon
#

in 2021 there was a huge heatwave

My parents have been to Florida while I've only been to California and Washington

it set the heat record in canada

#

a little town in bc hit 50c

Even back in 2004 when they visited

vital marten
#

They say by 2030 Texas will have 100, 100F (37.7C) days in the year

hollow grove
#

Florida was miserably hot and humid

glass wigeon
#

florida is state ive been to the most

#

last time i went there i went for disney whch is usual but

#

a tornado warning appeared

hollow grove
glass wigeon
#

saying one was near

#

very interesting

hollow grove
#

Once we hit the 40s though around this time of year we generally start getting concerned

#

Since its bushfire season

glass wigeon
#

was cold snap last month

#

went to feeling around -30

hollow grove
#

(Those in the US might remember the 2019-2020 bushfire season since it was bad enough to make international headlines iirc)

glass wigeon
#

not bad anymore only like -9

#

-2 but feels like -9

#

with wind

azure tangle
#

I was working outdoors in it

hollow grove
#

We remember that season for a very different reason though

glass wigeon
azure tangle
#

Oh wait, I was thinking the wildfires in the canada and US

azure tangle
hollow grove
#

Our prime minister went on holiday in Hawaii in the middle of the worst bushfire season since black Saturday back in 2009

azure tangle
#

That one

glass wigeon
#

canada is always on fire

#

in summer at least

hollow grove
#

Australia is also always on fire in the summer

glass wigeon
#

but its normal cause

#

normal life cyucle of forest

#

and canada has huge swaths of forest

#

no one lives in

hollow grove
#

Usually a mixture of the heat, lightning and dickheads lighting fires on ban days

glass wigeon
#

yeah the 2021 i said a town burnt down

#

it broke the canadian heat record for a week straight

#

day after day a new record

#

then burnt down

#

when it hit 50c

#

i cant imagine 50c

hollow grove
#

Several regional towns here burnt down during this year's season

glass wigeon
#

most wildfires here happen in uninhabited areas

#

so it doesnt affect many besides the smokle

hollow grove
#

Most of the towns north of Melbourne have populations around 200

glass wigeon
#

there was one huge wildfire

hollow grove
#

And the CFA usually comes round a few days before to tell all the residents to haul ass and evacuate

vital marten

#

in 2016

glass wigeon
#

in fort mcmurray

#

10 billion canadian dollars in damage

#

1.5 million acres

#

i remember it cause

vital marten
#

I read somewhere once that a large percentage of wildfires are caused by humans

glass wigeon
#

it hit ana ctual populated area

#

there was some crazy videos of it

hollow grove
#

Dickheads lighting fires on days where all fires are banned

glass wigeon
#

yeah

vital marten
#

Wildfire is scary

I think my rankings of disasters would go

Volcano
Wildfire
Earthquake
Hurricane
Tornado
Flooding

glass wigeon
#

fort mcmurray fire they arent sure what caused it

#

but they believe most likely it was human caused

vital marten
vital marten
#

We have one ever year or so and I just don’t even bother lol

glass wigeon
#

the truly powerful ones

#

ef5 tornadoes are mosnters

vital marten
glass wigeon
#

if tornado is stronge nough

hollow grove
#

Melbourne is too far south to bear the brunt of cyclones which after bushfires are the most common disaster in Australia

vital marten
#

Had them jump over us before

glass wigeon
#

it can rip up storm shelters

#

throw train cars very very far

#

level everything to foundation or lower

#

and also as it picks up materials like rocks

#

it turns into a giant sandblaster

#

the ef5 drought ended last year iirc

#

yeah the 2025 enderlin tornado

#

it was originally rated ef3

#

but after inspections it was upgraded to ef5

hollow grove
#

I slept through the 2021 Sunbury earthquake and the 2023 Mansfield earthquake

glass wigeon
#

upgraded cause it tossed full train cars like toys

hollow grove
#

Two of the strongest earthquakes to hit Australia in about 30 years

vital marten
#

It just happens lol

glass wigeon
#

ive never experienced an earthquake

vital marten
#

I wouldn’t fear a tornado though, they’re slow and people literally chase the things

tender igloo
vital marten
tender igloo
#

they get bad in alaska

vital marten
#

What’s your take on Naders puppers

tender igloo
#

id like to see one so long as it isnt near my house

glass wigeon
#

when you see a tornado funnel its usually just a smaller aprt of the actual tornado

tender igloo
#

i love the storms from them

glass wigeon
#

just the inner area with the msot violent winds

#

so a tornado is wider than it looks

#

once a tornado gets styrong enough its basically unsurvivable

#

and outrunning some of them can be impossible

vital marten
#

Maybe so but if you see it, you know it isn’t where you are

I know it’s hard to determine direction though and it can even turn on a dime or jump distances but it doesn’t warrant any panic imo

glass wigeon
#

even the most experienced chasers can die to the most powerful tornadoes

#

such as the el reno ef3

hollow grove
#

Especially when you're chasing em in a 2006 Chevy cobalt

glass wigeon
#

rated only ef3 because it didnt do significant damage

#

luckily it curved around el reno

#

if it hit el reno hundreds woudlve died

vital marten
glass wigeon
#

it had radar estimated wind speed of 313 mph

vital marten
#

Tornados really don’t scare me much at all

glass wigeon
#

and was 2.6 miles wide

glass wigeon
#

is from the el reno tornado

#

2013

vital marten
glass wigeon
#

twistex chasers were killed in it

vital marten
#

Texas gets baby tornados, Oklahoma gets the real ones

glass wigeon
#

its so lucky that tornado curved around el reno though

#

can u imagine how horrible it wouldve been

#

2.6 miles with 300+ mph winds

hollow grove
#

Tornadoes are pretty rare here in australia

glass wigeon
#

it was ltierally the largest tornado ever recorded

vital marten
hollow grove
#

Most of the roughly 50 we get per year happen out bush and are pretty mild

glass wigeon
#

the damage can vary wildly

#

once you get to that mosnter range though

#

everything become a clean slate once hit

#

even storm shelters may be torn up

#

and the bad thing about being in an area common with tornadoes

#

is if you get too used to them

hollow grove
#

Oldest one happened way back in 1795 around the Sydney area

glass wigeon
#

an example of this is the joplin tornado

#

because they were so used to tornado warnings and sirens

#

they didnt really care much

#

but that tornado was ef5

#

killed 158 people

#

happened in the 2011 super outbreak

#

damn did i kill chat

glass wigeon
#

idk if any of u know pan american airlines

#

pan am

vital marten
#

Why did they bankrupt? Scandal? Bad business? Plane accident? Malpractice?

glass wigeon

many things factored in

hidden osprey

yall talkign about tornadoes 😰

vital marten
#

Bankruptcy isn’t usually the thing I look for when dealing with any entity, seems bad

vital marten
glass wigeon
#

strategic blunders in acuisition of certain things

#

competition

#

and then

#

the final nail in the coffin

quasi slate
#

tornado vs hurricane who wins

glass wigeon
#

the 1988 lockerbie bombing

vital marten

Those are actually scary

the lockerbie bombing maybe u knwo of it idk

#

pan am 747 flying over scotland

pan am flight 103

but yeah i would not be able to cope with a hurricane for sure 😅

glass wigeon
#

and it crashed in a town

#

the town lockerbie

vital marten
glass wigeon
#

so u can imagine people being wary of flying on them

#

after such a huge

and that basically was the nai lin the coffin with all their other issues

Its an addon to your camera app built into your phone but you have to install it separately

vital marten
glass wigeon
#

i dont think they will ever compare to real camera

#

like a dslr

#

feel nicer

quasi slate
#

they will never compare to a real camera

#

doesnt matter how good the tech gets

#

because cameras are larger

vital marten
#

Idk guys the MP is getting pretty close

glass wigeon
#

also feels nicer to take pictures with real camera

vital marten
#

But yeah quality difference does show

#

My Cannon Rebel T7 DSLR takes better pictures than my iPhone 16PM but it’s getting pretty competitive

#

Ofc this isn’t an expensive ass dslr either

#

I think cameras will remain king primarily because of the ability to add attachments

#

Digital Telephoto will never compare to a lens you can expand

glass wigeon

Sometime I’d like to head out to the lake during Golden Hour and take a real nice picture on the rocks with the water and skyline in the background. It’ll look amazing because our sky turns this yellow pinkish color

just something about grabbing debris and other stuff

loading it into a truck

and processing / recycling it

sean usually posts tweets before dropping giant updates with emojis

hinting at what itll be
