I'm posting this video in the jokes thread NOT because it's funny but rather because this guy is a joke! He knows very little about butt splices and even less about the crimp tool he's using. After the video you will find the comment I left him.

OH HECK NO! You have no idea how to use that crimper. First, when you crimped the brown wire you actually had the crimper oriented correctly. The problem was that you didn't have the crimp deep enough. There are two anvils on each of the different sizes. The way you're holding the crimper (correctly) the right most anvil is for crimping the metal band that is inside the butt splice. The left most anvil is for squeezing the plastic around the wire insulation. The purpose of that is to support the insulation so it doesn't slide back. When you crimped the first crimp ( 2:59 ) the crimp is literally in the center of the metal barrel inside. The wire is not in that far, and your connection is poor. You can tell by the single raised pimple on the right most crimp. You got it in the wrong place.

THEN, (@ 3:10 ) you're holding the crimper in the same orientation as you did in the first hit. YOU SHOULD HAVE TURNED THE CRIMPER OVER so you would have the pimple facing toward the inside of the butt splice. You got that absolutely wrong. It was at this point that I stopped watching your video. You know not what you are talking about. Nor are you demonstrating proper crimping.

Wire, rope, tape, drum, hard drives?

also, one could add to that list clay tablets, rope knots and papyrus ... and yeah, the simple and classic notebook

Nasa makes discovery ‘as important as gravity’ about Earth (msn.com)

"The ambipolar electric field, which begins 150 miles above the planet, has been described as a “great invisible force” that lifts up the sky and is responsible for the polar winds.

The polar winds interact with the jet streams to help drive the majority of weather patterns across the globe."

I don't believe it.

The science of weather is already settled. There's no room for new information or discoveries.

Lord Kelvin, circa 1900:
“There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.”
“Neither the balloon, nor the aeroplane, nor the gliding machine will be a practical success”.
