Yeah, I'm saving my 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel to power my 20 ton Doof Wagon with massive sound equipment and flame throwing guitar. That should be enough fuel to intimidate anyone that comes near my compound for about a week.
The helmet makes you feel protected ... but it won't protect you from the trap snapping your neck
Great metaphor for walking into old problems ... we do the most useless things to make ourselves feel better as we knowingly walk into the same problem over and over again.
More easily to control a bunch of senile old farts than with a younger politician who might have an actual conscience
Old politicians don't care about the future because their time in this life is limited. A younger politician is more liable to be aware of their actions because they know that whatever they are participating in will affect their lives in a few decades.
You needed to conduct official research to figure that one out?
I'm up in Canada in northern Ontario and I have a few friends (on very thin ground mind you), relatives and associates who support or agree with Trump or MAGA ..... and all of them are racist, show signs of psychopathy, are manipulative, are callous and are narcissists.
9/10 if I meet a total ignorant jerk, they'll be a MAGA idiot
I had a mower like that at an old cottage years ago. It was an old ugly mower from the 70s that a local small engine mechanic had fixed up and sold for $50. It looked like hell but it worked fantastic ... it was more than a mower, it was a brush cutter that could mow down bushes with 2" diameter stems. I used it to clear land. Someone "borrowed" the thing years ago and I lost track of it. I miss those old mowers.
Any motorized device that is over 40 years old was built for practical use and built to last longer than 10 years. Most of the parts are made of metal and the things are tuned to use as much power as possible. There's a reason why that old tank of yours lasted so long. Fix it and it will be good for another few decades.
I'd get some metal strapping, form it into the shape of the tank ... make two of them and secure it all to the motor .. then spray paint it all the same color to make it look like it was designed like that.
I'd JB weld the thing back in place ... and then add some sort of added supports for the whole thing ... wire strap, metal band, oversized hose clamp ... and make it more secure.
Because if it broke off once, it will probably break off again ... in another 50 years.
