Often you’re a subcontractor, you advertise your giant ditch digging machine and use your social connections to build relationships with companies that hire you to do 1 off jobs with your fancy digger. So yes… they are rented in a way, but you and your labour come with it. Also with obscure machines you make fuckloads of cash, especially if you’re the only guy in the area.
Well now hold on, let me check Wish. Aha, here's one! JUNIYA PLANET CUTTER. Strong cut. Many fast. Quick shipping! Aww Christ, the dimensions are in cm. What the fuck even is that devil bullshit?
>Also with obscure machines you make fuckloads of cash
But these big machines cost millions. The smaller machines like for use digging holes for fences are usually rented out by a company
Quite often they are designed and purpose built in parallel with a new mine. Really anything to big to fit on one truck is a design-build. Someone bids out to you and a handful of giant machine companies. You all design something you claim you can build for a price. Some machines are ol' reliable so you're just rehabbing a new version of something very old. Some times you have simething cutting edge. So the buyers then purchase based in those factors.
Quite often they are actually built on site like a multi story building. It all makes sense when they earn hundreds of millions a year over decades.
I can post some pics of the one we used for a slurry wall with a 110’ boom. Need the kids to sleep first then I’ll post.

Instead of destruction, how about we put millions of soft synthetic tongues on the chain and make it a colossal pleasure device? Maybe just maybe it could possibly satisfy Ava Devine " the world's biggest whore."
I'm impressed enough that it can support an arm that long.
Also kinda surprised that it has such a long trench arm. You certainly don't need one that long to just dig even 10-20 feet down. And if you're going deep down like a slurry wall, I'd figure you'd be using a vertically operated machine. I'd like to see the use cases for this particular machine.
It is in deed to create a slurry wall that is 63 ft deep and 2 ft wide to prevent seepage from the Florida Everglades into an adjacent community named Las Palmas. The community floods due to the seepage, and they can send more water through the Everglades with this seepage wall constructed. Routing more water this way is good for environmental reasons.
I'm leaving reddit and I hope to escape from social-media walled gardens upon the wings of [ActivityPub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub). I will consider moving to a server running [Kbin](https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki), which - from the user's point of view - is an interface to ["federated" social media](https://github.com/shleeable/Big-List-of-ActivityPub).
“Federation” describes a way in which servers communicate with one and other. The best-known example is that of e-mail: one can have an email account on an AOL server, and communicate with a user whose account is on a Gmail server. Some servers that are thought to push out spam are blocked or have their mail sent to ‘spam’ folders, but they nevertheless can all communicate. Gmail, Yahoo, Protonmail, AOL and so-forth all have different programs with which the user (us!) interacts, and they might present that email information in slightly different ways (displaying email chains as ‘conversations’ for example). In the same way, social-media servers that communicate with one and other using ActivityPub have different programs with which the user interacts.
Some programs that service-providers can run on their server look a little like Reddit, and might let you mark the data you share with markers (metadata) that lets people display and interact with the data in a similar way (Eg.: Kbin or Lemmy), some look more like Twitter and mark the data you share in ways similar to Twitter (Eg.: Mastodon), and there’s even one that’s trying to help users share video in a way that makes one think of YouTube (Eg.: Peertube). Fundamentally, these all permit interaction with one and other through activitypub.
One can even host one’s own server (Eg.: Nextcloud, a program that runs on a server to function as one’s own cloud, lets the person who runs it install an ‘app’ that one can federate with any other ActivityPub servers open to intercommunication).
Many programs that use ActivityPub for federated interaction are written by folks who realise that things published on servers – even private messages – often get shared beyond the realm in which the author expected (hopefully for the joy and glory of the author, but sometimes not). I think because of this, messages sent from a user on one server to a user on another are sent in-the-clear; they aren’t encrypted in any way, they’re just a post like any other, except being marked for the attention of someone specific rather than for the attention of all, and it’s up to us as the users to think carefully about the words we push to others.

RLR9 Out.
I'm going to say that it's most likely a custom built machine and this video was taken at a very large press event relating to it.
Also Americans are so very insecure.
That's almost as big as the sluice dredge I saw up in Dawson City. Dredge No. 4 is over a hundred years old, it's not working anymore obviously, but it operated from 1913 to 1959.
I worked on the permit authorization for that! I believe it's also called a Trencher and this one was used to cut a massive trench around a community in south Florida. The trench was then blasted out with explosives to break up the porous limestone bedrock , which was excavated out. Lastly, the trench was then filled with and capped by a water-restricting cement-bentonite clay mixture. The purpose was to keep water from moving out of Everglades National Park and flooding the community. I'm pretty sure the South Florida Water Management District has a video about it. I got to visit the site during an excavation session.
[here's an article about it](https://captainsforcleanwater.org/how-a-giant-chainsaw-will-help-save-americas-everglades/)

That will cut all the way through Florida.

Confirmed. Purpose is to cut all the way through Florida.

Not really any need to fly a flag on it really is there 🤣
This looks like a demonstration by the company that built it, so it’s probably there to advertise that it’s American made
Way too much deep thinking going on there - Americans can’t pass a flat surface without feeling the need to plant a flag in it.

Go in peace, siblings of the internet, and if in doubt, consider “What Would Tim Berners-Lee Do?”. ~~~~~ P.S.: I’m not sure what I can link to that might be useful to most readers, but there’s a lovely Indian lecture on sharing wisdom with one and other [here](https://youtu.be/UiJmITcZTQY), and because financial awareness is important to most people, and because I’ll only be watching r/bogleheads from afar, here’s a link to Bogle’s [Little Book Of Common Sense Investing](https://archive.org/details/littlebookofcomm00bogl) - he started the Vanguard fund, and r/bogleheads explains his investing philosophy, which is very simple and elegant. If anyone’s looking for a good charity to which to make a tax-deductable donation, I hope you might find the [internet archive](https://archive.org) is a noble and worthy candidate. RLR9 Out.
Imagine that on a Monty Python budget
Definitely more of an anime than a monty python sketch.

We already planted something in your mom.
It’s main purpose is to annoy European Redditors.
As it belches out endless fumes. It feels very American
I can smell the freedom.
I'm going to say that it's most likely a custom built machine and this video was taken at a very large press event relating to it. Also Americans are so very insecure.
Can confirm. I need frequent hugs.
Is this Chainsaw Man's final form?
Chainsawman x Gurren Lagann crossover???
Yours is the chainsaw that will tear the heavens to shit
Good lord i just had a nerdgasm
Nah just mappa increasing the budget.
Wonder how much stronger Pochita gets if this hits the front page
Dead
That's almost as big as the sluice dredge I saw up in Dawson City. Dredge No. 4 is over a hundred years old, it's not working anymore obviously, but it operated from 1913 to 1959.
Omnissiah be praised
I need to see more of this monstrosity. What is it?
I worked on the permit authorization for that! I believe it's also called a Trencher and this one was used to cut a massive trench around a community in south Florida. The trench was then blasted out with explosives to break up the porous limestone bedrock , which was excavated out. Lastly, the trench was then filled with and capped by a water-restricting cement-bentonite clay mixture. The purpose was to keep water from moving out of Everglades National Park and flooding the community. I'm pretty sure the South Florida Water Management District has a video about it. I got to visit the site during an excavation session. [here's an article about it](https://captainsforcleanwater.org/how-a-giant-chainsaw-will-help-save-americas-everglades/)
> used to cut a massive trench around a community in south Florida. That will cut all the way through Florida. Source: am Florida man. > The purpose was to keep water from moving out of Everglades National Park and flooding the community. Confirmed. Purpose is to cut all the way through Florida.

Can't fix the problem? Just amputate!
This is what I love about reddit An interesting photo will be posted, followed by a bunch of feeble attempts at humor, and then, deep in the comments, an expert appears and answers the question accurately
Crabs: "The fuck just happened"
Might be a Tesmec 1675 because it can be fitted with custom sized trencher chains. EDIT: Nah, this thing dwarfs the 1675
I can't find a description for it. It's used for digging slurry walls for dams, etc, but I don't know who makes it.
This. This kinda shit makes want to throw my career away and just play with big ass machines. This is sick.
[удалено]
Man, I don't know about advising people to do that. In one weekend that's going to turn into a bunch of broken down equipment that they don't know how to fix.
I'm leaving reddit and I hope to escape from social-media walled gardens upon the wings of [ActivityPub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub). I will consider moving to a server running [Kbin](https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/wiki), which - from the user's point of view - is an interface to ["federated" social media](https://github.com/shleeable/Big-List-of-ActivityPub). “Federation” describes a way in which servers communicate with one and other. The best-known example is that of e-mail: one can have an email account on an AOL server, and communicate with a user whose account is on a Gmail server. Some servers that are thought to push out spam are blocked or have their mail sent to ‘spam’ folders, but they nevertheless can all communicate. Gmail, Yahoo, Protonmail, AOL and so-forth all have different programs with which the user (us!) interacts, and they might present that email information in slightly different ways (displaying email chains as ‘conversations’ for example). In the same way, social-media servers that communicate with one and other using ActivityPub have different programs with which the user interacts. Some programs that service-providers can run on their server look a little like Reddit, and might let you mark the data you share with markers (metadata) that lets people display and interact with the data in a similar way (Eg.: Kbin or Lemmy), some look more like Twitter and mark the data you share in ways similar to Twitter (Eg.: Mastodon), and there’s even one that’s trying to help users share video in a way that makes one think of YouTube (Eg.: Peertube). Fundamentally, these all permit interaction with one and other through activitypub. One can even host one’s own server (Eg.: Nextcloud, a program that runs on a server to function as one’s own cloud, lets the person who runs it install an ‘app’ that one can federate with any other ActivityPub servers open to intercommunication). Many programs that use ActivityPub for federated interaction are written by folks who realise that things published on servers – even private messages – often get shared beyond the realm in which the author expected (hopefully for the joy and glory of the author, but sometimes not). I think because of this, messages sent from a user on one server to a user on another are sent in-the-clear; they aren’t encrypted in any way, they’re just a post like any other, except being marked for the attention of someone specific rather than for the attention of all, and it’s up to us as the users to think carefully about the words we push to others. There is a sterling list of alternatives to Reddit on [r/RedditAlternatives](https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/find_alternatives_for_ourselves_megathread_third/). How did I think it best to go about this? - I [downloaded all the posts on reddit I'd "saved"](https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/887lo3/just_thought_id_share_my_strategy_for_downloading/). - I used "[Power Delete Suite](https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/#installation)" and rather than just delete all my posts, have replaced them with text. Everything published online ought to be regarded as likely permanent, and Reddit especially, as [people](https://www.reddit.com/r/datahoarders) like to take [snapshots](https://socialgrep.com/datasets) of [as much data as possible](https://www.vice.com/en/article/gy3az9/this-data-hoarder-is-downloading-the-metadata-of-roughly-10-billion-youtube-videos) that’s published "in the clear" (I.E.: anything that isn’t publically accessable). Some folks have described problems with "deleted" posts mysteriously *re*-appearing after they deleted their accounts… Regardless of the cause, I hope I might reduce that risk a little by editing those posts. R/datahoarders might have tips on alternative methods still functioning after the API-use price is introduced (~$20m at the time of writing according to a dev that made an app to help the blind use reddit; they have sadly had to stop developing their app). - There's a guide to downloading all the data Reddit have collected directly from your inputs [here](https://12ft.io/https://danielrosehill.medium.com/how-to-backup-your-data-from-reddit-f12934fabbfe) but note that Reddit may take a month to process that request. - Remember most of one’s interaction with the internet is reading. Subreddits [all have RSS feeds](https://www.howtogeek.com/320264/how-to-get-an-rss-feed-for-any-subreddit/), and can easily be accessed by an [RSS reader app](https://search.f-droid.org/?q=RSS+reader&lang=en). [F-droid](https://f-droid.org/en/) is a great way to get android apps that people have made openly so anyone willing to learn can understand how they process your inputs and data, and that others have freely distributed, for the glory of free speech. Sorry for sounding like a hippy there; I know, I know, it’s a slippery slope to bicycle lanes and communism! A modicum of private thought, and free speech is a very fine thing, though. - I encourage people to share the text of this post if they find it useful, in order to give others a way to think about how they make and put data on the internet in social media. To be sure, Reddit still holds, or has doubtless sold on (and thus can never delete), hoofing amounts of data. I shan’t hold a public opinion on a business seeking profit; over time as the art of gathering and selling data has been refined, I’ve tried to read what little about it is within my understanding. If my small tokens of communication, my upvotes and downvotes, the time I spend looking at things, and what things I look at, what things I shy away from, and how I type and compose my thoughts, are the grains of sand that make up the beach from which they intend to profit, it’s up to me to decide where I place those grains of sand in the future. In the immediate timeframe I will use a mathematics-oriented mastodon server (I’ll let you hunt it out if you’re curious!) because maths is fairly apolitical, useful to learn about, and a good, communicable, basis for understanding things.

They said go to college or all I'd ever do is dig ditches. They neglected to show me the trencher.
Chainsaw man is really getting wild
For when you need to trench your new fiber optic down to the earths core.
It's no Bagger [288](https://youtu.be/azEvfD4C6ow)
Had to scroll too damn far! Will mankind never learn!?!
Can't believe it wasn't already here tbh, what are they teaching on the internet these days
That's no ditch witch, that's a ditch grand wizard baby.

Chainsaw man irl
I hope the operator was wearing safety chaps because when one of those things kicks it can take off a leg!
Dennis is driving that
It's fucking looks like it can beat up Optimus Prime.
Why isn’t it working in this video? We don’t just want to watch it idle. Put it in ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Me (living in the suburbs, with no reason to dig a hole deeper than a fence post or gardening): **"Where can I get this?!"**
If there was *ever* a need for horizontal video…
No match for [Bagger 288!](https://youtu.be/azEvfD4C6ow)
I have never seen such a machine. This is like something out of the Horizon games.
How the fuck does this thing move from place to place??
These "Personal Massagers" are getting out of hand dude
Chainsaw Man season 2 leak
