TractionControlOff: Hey Ryan, If you had to choose between running the Rolex 24 or Indy 500, which would you choose and why? Ryan: Indy500 - but why choose, we do both almost every year anyway? For Sweden: Ganassi drivers are the hardest -working drivers in motorsports. At this very moment, Kyle Larson is testing the…

What's that about a bad penny?

Watching it in reverse feels more appropriate.

Well, the responses to this comment went pretty much exactly as I expected.

As for the before-and-after offered to prove their progress, the answer is just NO.

It would seem like city selection takes place well ahead of time. Why not require that the Olympic complexes be built no less than 8 months ahead of the games. Tie some massive amount of money to it and see what happens? SLC and surrounding areas got some use out of its Olympic infrastructure - bob sled rides,…

Oh, that's not my video. But we run the same machine. Correct that it does a fairly lousy job at sorting. The problem is with the power of the magnet. You can adjust the height and get it close enough to sort well, but then it's so close to the product that it creates jams. Get it out of the way and it no longer…

There's a decent article in Esquire about Snowden and the journalist who ultimately helped him roll out the story (someone will remember his name - he lives in Brazil). The short of it is that Snowden himself was probably exposed to a LOT of information that he ultimately did not include in the catalog of info that…

I believe this one is around 700hp.

You can weld on different teeth (aka knives and hooks) for different applications. They're steel although I am not sure what the grade is.

We would run our scrap through the 950 twice, sometimes. In any event, we had our 950 feed into an eddy current to handle the sorting that the 950 couldn't. Still not as efficient as the big boy toys, but it produced a salable product and handled separation well enough for some of the larger mills in town.

We have a Hammel 950 where I work. The thing is pretty awesome when it works. It may be standard for these kinds of machines considering their task, but you could expect an hour of repairs for every hour of run time. And parts are crazy expensive. There are a few belts that make it work. One is the belt you see…

I came here to comment about the Newcastle ad because you can't comment on that page. I really think I may go get myself some Newcastle now because that shit was funny. Good job, advertising jerks. You win my dollars this time.

Hold your horses - wax museums are the best.

American Side = Myrtle Beach

To be fair, the American side of Niagara is a complete shit show. What's with all the street vendors and that weird-as-hell multi-story flea market?

Reminds me of when a co-worker insisted on bringing a stray pitbull into the office. "But look how sweet he is!" Yeah, until all of a sudden he isn't so sweet. Then what?

That was necessary.

well, that was good while it lasted. /s/
