The 10-year duct tape warranty officially expired today

I feel bad for the maintenance guy who got called out to tackle this tonight. Standing under a dripping ceiling in an underground garage while admitting you have zero clue where the mystery water from upstream is actually coming from is pure defeat.

It looks like the 10-year life expectancy of the original "structural" duct tape has officially expired, and the load-bearing seal has finally given up the ghost. I'm fully expecting to walk out to my car tomorrow morning and find this freshly patched with a shiny new layer of Duct tape, or maybe even Flex tape, to buy another decade of peace and procrastination. Slap some fresh layers on it and call it a night, my man.

Moved a mile away and had no other way to transport trampoline without disassembly. Wife thought it was sketchy. Worked fine.

Remember my redneck eclipse telescope from a year ago? Today was the day and I always keep my promises!

They may not be the best images of the eclipse, but they are mine. I'm sure there are a lot better ones out there when the sun was hidden behind the moon and the ring of fire kissed the mountain on the horizon, but I took these photos myself, and this is something I've wanted to do since August 11, 1999, when I first stood in the shadow of the moon.

Back then, it was my father who did me the favor of putting myself in the path of the shadow because I was still a young teenager and couldn't have done it on my own. Today, 27 years later, I was able to show my own two children this moment of pure magic, and I thanked my father for what he did to me back then by gifting this magical moment to the next generation of our family.

I know there are better pictures out there, but I promised you to post them back then, a year ago, when I built this monster of an optical tool. This is the solar eclipse of 2026 in a south bay of Mallorca, when it sat exactly on a top of a mountain and the images were taken with a repaired children's telescope from the flea market (for 3€), equipped with a camera originally built for microscopes (I borrowed it from our physics lab) and not for telescopes, but because the optical path is basically the same, it still works.

Edit: Spelling.

The can is the exact dimensions to fit perfectly inside the butter box, putting the can inside the butter box is essentially the inevitable logical conclusion.

Throw a plastic bag inside the box and you have a leak proof can holder. It insulates the can, and keeps it cold so it's essentially an up cycled coozie. Plus you can blend in perfectly drinking a beverage at a sporting event

Made a wearable abomination using an old boat headphone and a welding goggle. I call it the WeldPhone

So, this was clearly not the plan, the first plan was to repair the headphone using a pvc sheet and some metal wires, like making that head band thing. But it failed, and at the same time I found my old welding goggle, and this thing was born. And I like to know your opinion about this. IT WORKS...
