OK; refrasing:

Some have suggested broken belt. Probably din not happend here as picture show vertical is OK.
Besides this topics engine, can a broken belt damage a plug as bad as we`ve seen here?

An insane amount of talent and musical chemistry on display here. As was typical for that band.

With all of the construction around me, I see tower cranes go up or down fairly often. I'm fascinated by tower cranes, but wouldn't want to be on a crew erecting one.

Yeah like a bigger dent in the couch

I will not miss that monthly payment

Two in the back and one in the front that is steerable via a t-bar. It is very slick how easy it is to move big things around when you have the right tools.

This new machine moves in such a high rapid rate that it must be lagged to the floor. I believe the acceleration is 1G. Threaded inserts are chemically anchored into the floor. Here you can see the foot that serves as a base for the anchor setup to clamp the machine to the ground.

And here it sits in its new home. Currently waiting for a technician to come and finish the installation.

I grabbed a shot of the tool carousel since the door was open and it was accessible. Unlike the last machine that had the large capacity storage and matrix setup this one is just a 64 tool onboard chain. It stages whatever tool is next and the arm swaps that tool with the one in the spindle in about 1.5 seconds.
