Isn’t that one of the models removed from the market because of fire risk?

Out for a walk this afternoon, I had to laugh at these horses queuing up to eat despite there being slots on all sides of this structure for them to stick their heads in!

Japanese samurai sword, The Sword Of Heaven is forged from a meteorite that landed in Namibia 4 billion years ago. The renowned blacksmith Yoshindo Yoshi crafted the blade of the sword from a fragment of the massive Gibeon iron meteorite. Making it out of this world.

Yoshi is the son of Yoshihara - very cool

His style of blade (Bizen) is very much in my style of liking

Well, fortunately she has the good sense to be wearing a safety helmet.

There are quite a few selfie deaths each year, I believe.

Not sure that a safety helmet would save her if she fell.

Christ I used to have an indesit washer/dryer. Worst buy ever, problematic, eventually working after many engineer visits with the copper coil clicking, gave it away after a year. Never bought indesit again. Might have even been that model.

Via ferratas are great fun when the weather is nice - but less so when the metal bits get a bit damp. But in winter? He's braver than me!

The last thing he’ll do before plummeting to his doom is splatter his bollocks all over a bit of rebar steel sticking out of a cliff face. Horrible way to go.

[GogLais]

Interesting - well, terrifying. So how the hell did they fix them in the first place?

He is tied on with a shock-absorbing lanyard (that's the red bit of webbing in the photo). So when he falls, the rebar will rip open his scrotum, then he'll be dangling about 15' lower, trying to find a way to climb back up before he bleeds to death.

That's reminded of that poor bugger - Toni somebody? - who dangled off the North Face of the Eiger for several days before dying.

It's been a few years, but I remember that. And I was working on a shitty laptop at home.
