Aerospace = electrical + mechanical engineer.

Civil engineers are safe to piss off.

By the way, some really neat slomo of particulate flow.

Amusing, but I wonder why he blanked out their faces.

Sub-judice?

I don’t know why news reports hide faces. If they need to hide the faces then it shouldn’t be on the news.

Specially those courtroom artists that draw them. Then the TV news pixelates the lot of it.

I liked this video. I’ve sent the link to my civil engineer brother. My other brother would not appreciate it – he’s an accountant.

I enjoyed the over engineering and the lovely passive way he made the point… I also like glitter..and that is with them for months, maybe years.. there’s no cleaning it up completely

Once your bin is out for collection there’s a fair chance that a neighbour may check to see if there is any spare space and fill it some more…or so I’ve heard.

True story.

I am still finding glitter in a car I bought seven months ago, which has been mercilessly vacuumed a dozen times.

Although in this case, it was actually his property anyway.

He didn’t have to get it back. It uploaded the footage to the cloud.

Oh yeah, that’s right. Still, being such an expensive piece of kit I reckon he would have gone after it if he could.

if someone steals your TV and puts it in their house you are not allowed to force entry and retrieve that TV… the only reason he can get it out of the wheelie bin legally is to wait for the curbside collection

He should start a kick starter campaign and start selling them.

I would buy one and install an outside video camera for the fun of it.
