This is really cool but all I can think of is how as a kid I was never able to have any of the big, exciting Lego sets. It was always so disappointing to love Lego and see all the things I’d never get to play with.

Who is this priced for? (I know the answer). Things are getting so out of hand that kids can’t even play with toys anymore. So much has to cater to elitist cash grabs….

Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool that adults can grab a piece of nostalgia. I just feel like “the line” keeps getting pushed out further and further for what capitalism can get away with.

Alright, olive branch. I understand that it’s never good to put people on a pedestal, but this is a weird thing to pull from current events. What we have is a person, regardless of “credentials” joining a flotilla with the goal of bringing food through a blockade.

Fame or motive aside, it’s a good thing to want to help people, full stop. We shouldn’t crab brain things like this and pull people back into the bucket.

We also shouldn’t idolized them, understood.

BUT

You also shouldn’t be so fixated on whether people celebrate this person. Let’s just be happy that there are some folks on the front lines fighting injustice, and mad at people that want to stomp that out. It’s really easy.

Those that can help should help, and those that can’t, or won’t, should just move out of the way. Doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

I appreciate the help, but this person’s intent was never to actually learn about her.

I don’t know for sure what the point was. Just more pessimist hand waiving I guess. Maybe underachievement guilt, maybe jealousy, maybe just plain old fashioned misogyny.

Hyperbole was enough for this transaction.

Edit: I also wanted to add that I did not insult my friend above. We just don’t agree. I thought some fun over exaggeration would point out the unproductive nature of that line of thinking.

No one should ever do anything to help anyone unless they PASS A BILL (even writing a bill is not good enough)based on the help they give.

You could always ask AI to generate a list and create a link for you.

Can’t confirm the quantity that would release, but a front-loading cement truck would certainly dump at least a small amount of concrete when slamming on the brakes that hard. The slump of the concrete seems to be 7-8”(loose) and there is no mechanism that would completely prevent concrete from spilling forward that I am aware of.

That said, the concrete does appear to continue for a while after reasonably assuming gravity would stop the flow. Maybe he turned on the hydraulics since he was pissed?
