So, just learning that when standard tracks failed on M113 APCs in Vietnam’s deep mud, crews bolted specialized capstan drum hubs directly onto the front drive sprockets. By wrapping a heavy rope around the spinning hubs and anchoring it to a tree or auger, the crew turned the vehicle’s... show more

Before electric starters, firing up an engine required raw human effort and a test of nerve. Hand-cranking a vintage car or tractor meant physically spinning a heavy steel handle directly linked to the pistons. The operator had to meticulously set the manual choke, retard the ignition, and pull *up* with an open palm-never wrapping their thumb around the grip, or a sudden engine backfire could break a wrist. After a few tense, heavy turns, the cylinders would catch, spitting thick smoke as the cast-iron beast abruptly rattled to life. Starting a machine was a workout.

A Ukrainian drone pilot turned a captured AK and a magnet from a broken hard drive into a flying gun He anchored the rifle under a heavy drone with the magnet, rope, and tape, then wired the trigger to fire by remote. Early flights swung like a pendulum until he steadied it—later the crew moved on to grenade launchers. 🔗 📹Presidential Brigade

What Happened in the Driveway: Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said early on that no tracks found in Nancy Guthrie’s driveway were relevant to the investigation. Both Brian and Maureen agree that most vehicles were parked on the side of the home and not in the front circle driveway, so all visible tracks (early on) should have been scaled and photographed. Getting those impressions early is vital to investigations. When watching the aerial footage, I definitely noticed distinct tracks in both parts of the driveway, but the ones in the circle driveway were the ones that stuck out like a sore thumb. They didn’t resemble a vehicle’s tracks but something narrower that was butted right up against the rocks on the right side of her front walkway, right around where her blood stops. You can even see where it was stopped a few times. It’s such a distinct pattern. What stuck out to me as well is that a pickup truck loaded with pool cleaning equipment and supplies barely left any tracks when using the same circle driveway just days later.

I love all the small details on the ship in Starfield. The screens, surfaces and various objects create such a great aesthetic. Also, free lanes is brilliant. I roleplay in games like this, and setting a course, turning on autopilot, and then getting up to do research, talk to crew mates, or just look out the window into space, just adds to the immersion for me. Love it #Starfield #PCGaming

Advice to future parents, this - He nailed it. My oldest just turned three, and every day there’s some new line that either stops you in your tracks or has you doubled over laughing. It really is a peak experience, and it’s one you can’t afford to miss. It also makes you understand grandparents on a deeper level. They’re not just happy to be around the kids, they’re getting pulled back into that same feeling they had when they were raising you, but with all the pressure turned down and the joy turned up.

🇺🇸 Queens just swallowed a whole street... On 188th Street the water rose so fast that cars sat trapped like toys. Drivers climbed out into the flood, then put their shoulders into one vehicle and shoved with everything they had, trying to drag it free before it was completely gone. A normal drive home turned into people standing knee-deep in a river that used to be asphalt, fighting for their cars in the middle of NYC. Writer: Val

ALERT: 70-year-old woman drove her car onto elevated train tracks after she was “just following the GPS.” The 70-year-old woman in Seattle, Washington, says she was following her GPS when it led her onto the train tracks. Sound Transit says it shut off power to the tracks during the suspension of services caused by the incident. Witnesses say they tried to stop the woman, but she ignored them and proceeded onto the tracks. Authorities successfully used a machine called a swing loader to remove the car from the train tracks. Seattle Fire said the woman was able to exit the car on her own and was transported to the hospital in stable condition.

#BREAKING:Psaki: “This morning, when the FBI raided the office of a prominent Democratic state official in Virginia, Fox News was on the scene. They had camera crews on location, ready to film as SWAT teams and FBI vans raided Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas’ office and nearby businesses, and that is pretty impressive considering that Portsmouth Virginia…is about a THREE HOUR drive from Fox’s office in DC. It is 200 MILES AWAY. Now, maybe Fox just got lucky. Maybe they just had a reporter around the corner just kinda hanging out in Portsmouth, and a whole camera crew when the raid started, but it strikes me as a lot more plausible that someone in the FBI leaked the timing of the raid to them.”🤦‍♀️

How to Safely Remove a Tree Leaning on a House Roof. Good job done right. When a massive tree falls and wedges itself directly against a roofline, you can't just start hacking away blindly. One wrong cut can send thousands of pounds crashing down, destroying the structure. Here is how to systematically dismantle a high-stress leaners using a secure rigging setup. Step 1: Assess and Rig for Tension Before a chainsaw ever starts up, you must counter the gravity pulling the tree into the house. Identify a sturdy, healthy anchor tree nearby. Run a heavy-duty rigging line and pulley system from the high point of the fallen tree back to your anchor. Tension the lines to absorb the weight so the tree is suspended rather than resting entirely on the shingles. Step 2: Clear the Shingle-Side Limbs With the main weight supported, start by removing the smaller branches directly contacting the roof. Make precise relief cuts on smaller limbs to prevent binding. Work carefully from the roof surface, clearing debris immediately to keep a clear, slip-free footing. Step 3: Section the Upper Trunk Never try to take the whole trunk down at once. It must be chunked down piece by piece. Secure a dynamic rigging strap tightly around the segment you intend to cut. Make a clean top-cut while a ground crew member mans the lowering line. Once severed, let the rigging system catch the weight, suspend it mid-air, and smoothly swing or lower it away from the building. Step 4: Work Your Way Down the Main Stem Repeat the sectioning process, gradually moving down toward the root ball. Keep communication tight with your ground crew to ensure they are clear of the drop zone. Let the tensioned ropes do the heavy lifting, keeping the trunk controlled and preventing it from rolling or twisting onto the house. Step 5: The Final Drop Once the trunk is short enough and no longer poses a threat to the roof structure, release the rigging lines or make a final directional cut to safely drop the remaining base log flat to the ground. ⚠️ Safety Notice: Tree work under structural tension is incredibly unpredictable. Always wear proper PPE, use certified rigging gear, and ensure your ground crew knows how to operate the lines safely!

Russians are complaining that they’re walking around filthy like devils because the main street in Omsk has basically turned into one big dirt road. Omsk used to be one of the most progressive and beautiful cities in the early 1900s when it belonged to Kazakhstan. Then Russians showed up and somehow managed to turn the whole place into a mud themed disaster.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. strike mission inside Iran turned into a full-scale survival fight Two F-15Es flew low to hit a bunker, but the moment they climbed to release the bomb, they were exposed. Missiles locked on, one jet was hit, and the crew ejected deep in mountainous terrain. From there, everything escalated fast. Iranian forces moved in to capture them, A-10s rushed to protect the downed airman and opened fire on ground units, but one of those jets was hit too and went down trying to escape. Then came the rescue. Helicopters pushed in, got ambushed, took heavy fire, crews were injured, and the entire mission turned into a fight just to stay alive. F-35s had to strike air defenses just to keep the extraction going. And despite all that chaos, damaged aircraft and overloaded helicopters still made it out. A brutal fight just to bring one pilot home. Source: Alberta 51 Project

This is what happens when you hold onto a tree and never let go as it keeps growing. Giuseppe Penone created It Will Continue to Grow Except at That Point by casting his hand around the trunk of a young tree and then leaving it alone. Over time, the tree grew freely in every direction except where the hand once pressed, preserving a single, permanent indentation. Nothing was cut or reshaped by force—the work emerged through time, growth, and restraint. Long after the hand disappeared, its trace remained in the living wood, a quiet record of how even brief human contact can leave a lasting mark on nature.

As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child, and in the forests of Ramgarh, it took a forest, a railway, and the locals to welcome one into the world. A pregnant elephant lay in labour on the tracks. The forest and railway officials acted swiftly. A coal train was halted for over two hours so the mother could give birth undisturbed. In that pause, a beautiful calf was born. No rush, no harm just a quiet act of kindness. Because sometimes, the most powerful journey begins when we choose to stop 🙂 #elephants #wildlifeconservation
