That guy's a shithead. He's made a bunch of similar videos. Pranking other people, I get. Pranking yourself? Kind lame. Maybe he should join the Jackass crew and take a bungee ride in the porta-potty.

That’s about the way it happened except I am not stupid enough to have a circuit near my face the first time I fire it up, lol.

Last time I rented an apartment (with 2 other guys), it was a "modern" building with no light fixtures in the bedroom. We had switched outlets & floor lamps. A perfect setup for plugging an electrolytic cap into a switched outlet before the roommates return and then waiting for the fireworks.

Got bored and played with the laser today.

Looks great.
Dare I ask what it does?

Garbage in, Garbage out.

Maybe the Goober makes sure whatever goes in, is Garbage out — such as the Escobedo LoFoMoFo or the EHX Screaming Bird with controls hardwired to full-Garbage.

Not even a stomper, though...

It’s just a bazz circuit. I recently started playing with smd and it’s a quick easy circuit to manipulate. I have a bunch of these boxes that were pre-drilled for something else as well. I added an extra hole to this one for a touch bypass. The touch bypass board is larger than the circuit. Originally they were designed for a buffer that’s always on but the bazz is not really an always on effect, lol. It can be a little harsh. It came out good for 10 year old powder I found in the garage and a toaster oven. Not being able to control all the holes I was just trying to come up with things to put in there besides a buffer. This was also just playing with the laser and trying to gauge how well it cut through the powder coating.

Which Laser Engraver are you using, and would you recommend it?

At work. I read this as: "Watch out! There's women on the premises!"

Honestly it’s one of the older blue Chinese k40 laser’s with some upgrades. It’s mediocre at best and the only software we have been able to get to work with it is RDworks which is trash. The newer versions will work with lightburn which is far superior but we have never been able to get it to communicate with this one. I am not a laser expert and this is one we just have at the shop so I am just playing.

If I was going to use it more I would get a Laserpecker. Based on my research it would be great for boxes. I usually just use the tayda print service and their powder coating so I don’t have to do it. It’s nice knowing I can if I need or really want to but it’s not worth putting money into for the amount of use it would get. The only thing I may use it for besides these is a looper. Can’t say I will need to build a lot of those.

Spotted this in a parking lot today.

This at the grocery store deli counter. It's a bit confusing. Is it free if it's not available? Or is it free if it's not fresh? Either way, it sounds like a bad deal.

Shot this last summer on Pacific Coast Highway.

Neighbours got their pre fabricated home delivered on a truck yesterday. We had a LOT of rain the last weeks and the prepping of their section with digger turned it into a mudbath already. Big boys and their toys playing in the mud... they know what they are doing though and got it in place and on the piles, no probs.


bs.

On 18 September, Eindhoven was liberated by American and British troops as part of Operation Market Garden.
Too bad eliminating Nazis and their ilk isn't a universal attitude anymore, like it was 80 years ago.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Indeed.
