I have light weight folding 7” pruning saw that clips on to my belt or knapsack that does the same as that. I can easily cut any branch up to 4” or 5” diameter with it.

Its not what you know, but who you know. Or I guess in this case, it is both.

That I could see.

@jon-nyc hahaha

Doesn't look like the setup includes training. Looks like you just download pre-trained models and infer with these models.

That is crazy. I remember when you first posted that, and I was amazed then (and still am).

Quite satisfying to watch them put those together.

Another question to ask is whether Mondalez's packaging designs were in turn "copied" from someone else. If they were, then one can argue that perhaps Aldi was merely inspired by the same sources that inspired Mondalez.

That looks pretty good. Not a fan of mint. But I'd give it a try.

The passenger was intercepted by customs officials on Saturday night after he got down from a Bangkok-originated flight, news agency PTI reported. After discovering the 48 highly venomous viper snakes and five turtles, a team from Resqink Association for Wildfire Welfare assisted in the identification and handling of these species, he added. Among these snakes were three Spider-tailed horned vipers, highly venomous and targeting only small prey like birds, as well as five Asian leaf turtles, an AFP report said.

https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/06/supreme-court-declines-to-hear-gun-control-challenges/ After considering them at 15 consecutive conferences, the Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up two challenges to gun-control laws in Maryland and Rhode Island. In each case, three justices indicated that they would have granted the petition for review, leaving the challengers one vote short of the four needed for the court to hear oral arguments and weigh in on the merits of their case. In Snope v. Brown, the court declined to decide whether Maryland’s ban on semiautomatic rifles, such as the AR-15 and the AK-47, violates the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms. Nine other states and the District of Columbia have similar bans. and In Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island, the justices rejected a challenge to Rhode Island’s ban on large-capacity magazines, which state law defines as a device capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition that can be fed into a semi-automatic weapon. Semi-automatic weapons that use detached magazines allow the shooter to take the magazine out once all of the rounds have been fired and swap in a new one.

I remember those. The videos were closer to cassette tape sized than VHS. I only ever saw them in first.

The thing is that President Trump has power with his followers almost more because of his personality than his policies. He can change his policies 180 and his followers will give great support to whichever side he picks. First they were against it, then they were for it. (See US steel sale) Dont think there is anybody on either side that has such a hold on their followers.
