Who Invented the Fire Extinguisher? Types of Fire Extinguishers and Their Uses!
When I was about 6 years old, my dad humorously told me that duck tape was used in zoos to tape duck's bills shut, so they wouldn't eat too much and get fat. At the time, I believed him
Maybe my instructor was misinformed, but I was told in tech college that Elmer's Glue was nothing more than repackaged industrial food service adhesive what was typically used in large quantities in a place like a paper cup factory
I wondered. I Googled. You answered. Just what I was looking for, a review of all types! Nice....
I tried to make a donation, but the minimum amount was $2.00 -- I was thinking 5 cents would represent the actual value of this video. It really is that stupid!
Hi, just entered the video to say this: the difference is the first letter
It is a fob pocket.
Guitar picks fit perfectly and make it the "pick pocket"
The King of Queens says the small pocket is for chapstick.
It's not, it's a torch
The difference to me is one is yellow and the other is good in soups
I was in Spain in 1970. Paper was not available very often. Cloth napkins, tissue to blot fingers at Tapa bars. TP was like a light weight brown paper bag. We did the same crushed it to soften. Some Hotels and homes had bidets. When we toured Germany the paper was white and softer. Bidets were gaining some interest during Covid and the TP shortage in the US. Those Wipes are really popular for especially babies and adults adding to the problem of waste.
It’s well known amongst men in the middle east that testis must hang away from the body to promote cooling which increases male fertility.
Wow. I’m getting really old.
Americans are so far behind the rest of the world it's pathetic. I have been using Bidet Toilet seats for over 20 years. The French had bidets in the 1700's. The toilet paper companies have been doing everything possible to prevent them from becoming popular here. They are the single greatest invention in disease prevention ever. Not to mention the nice, clean feeling of a "just showered" experience. In spite of it being such a great invention American's are too fucking stubborn to use something they did not invent. I tried to sell and install them when I had a home repair business, only to be told, "That's European, we don't do that here.' My reply was, "I don't see it as European, I see it as sanitary". I can't see why anyone would want to stick their fingers in shit, and then have a stinky ass for the rest of the day, but oh well, that's Americans for you.
Torch, torch, TORCH! Speak English please!
It's only known as a "flashlight" in one small corner of the world. Everyone else knows it's a torch.
How human systems works?
It’s the way of the road boys way of the road.
The answer could have been made in under 2 minutes in the explanation.
It also identifies the construction of the tyre carcass before moulding, to differentiate between a standard car tyre , a high performance tyre or a commercial tyre that may have the same size , but different construction /tread compounds etc
Great job !
When did they start putting erasers on them
theoretically they are great. but in reality most neglects to maintain the failsafe system. ive seen too many cases where trucks keep moving at insane speeds when the brake fails, instead of the failsafes (automatic engaging of brakes) deploying
Very interesting, Thanks for posting.
Awesome info. Thanks!
2:06 is the answer you were looking for
how are picture discs made lol??
Duct tape is the WORST thing for ducts. Aluminum foil tape is what is used.
In the movie "Mafia" this Italian woman makimg dinner opens a tennis ball like can and she empties out 3 tennis ball sized meatballs.
Personally, I think a de-pressurized system should have the brake pads spring-loaded into drum. That means the brakes are applied by default and require pressure to dis-engage.
Yellow? Sort of. Orange? Hmmm
You could easily find it in the bottom of a book bag.
Boy was i way off, i thought they were showing the rainbow people of the world had a job making tires. Sorry, cough, not sorry 😂
You can't say "colored" lines, they are African American lines.
Great video
I just bought new tyres, was sad when the lines disappeared.
so that is why big truck making that psssshhh sound when they are slowing down or stopping
There is one thing that you should pay attention to and that is the DOT number on the side. It tells you the month and year of manufacture. Don’t buy tyres that have had a Long shelf life. If it says 0924 they are brand new.
We already know ....Elmer fud
It was commonly used to store condoms, an easy reach and emergency package, this replaced the theory of watches in the mid 20th century.
Dupont os no longer my brother used to sniff that stuff he never was the same after that.
Edvard Slavoljub Penkala. you didn't mention the man who made the fountain pen (perfected) in 1907 and made the first ballpoint pen. Pen, Penkala
It's to hide ya drug bag.
Were men's longjohns open in back or did the have to get nearly naked to poop?
I started collecting vinyl in 2021 and VHS tapes this year 2024. Digital = convenience, physical = connection and story.
I heard the reason legal pads are yellow is yellow relates to a thinking color. Again I have seen white,pink and blue legal pads.
Almost all modern cars have dual-circuit design it's not something special...
Don’t forget about tin snips for cutting sheet metal and Japanese garden scissors they use on Bonsai trees.
Scissorhands get my vote
That would be a great question for Kamala Harris!
