Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Oh, Deer! (Holy Cow!)


I'm lucky to sorta get a straight line with my power saws.

Amazing. He had some pretty good 3-D skills. If he created that design himself and had some math skills, he would make a pretty good design engineer.

The manual dexterity shown in this video was once very common here in the US, prompted in part by farmers who had to repair everything on the spot. One of my farming great-grandfathers made all his furniture, in addition to being a hybrid corn pioneer and being well-versed in Shakespeare, albeit with only an eighth grade education.

Will we have lost those skills, computer gaming away?

Does OSHA know he does that?!

Fantastic application of multimedia.
It seems that the "magazine" is a set of video clips.
Imagine how difficult and inaccurate it would be to convey this stuff without action visuals.

I can understand how someone could learn to do that but what I don't understand is how he learned and kept all his fingers.

WOW.

(Which is all I really wanted to say, but apparently that's spam. So, maybe this disclaimer will help.)

If that had been me I would have lost a couple of fingers.
