Did someone have too much time on their hands?

[Daniela1982]

Even more so than being on G@G?

Kind of like the old MOUSE TRAP game from the 60's that was updated umpteen times over the years.

[Massageman]

Maybe there IS a practical application here. ?

Too bad they can't rig up some Rube Goldberg device up to mortar the bricks for them.

[Massageman]

They DO have those huge machines that "print" a house out of concrete mush - - - - -

[Daniela1982]

I know they can prefab houses in a factory, or prefab concrete foundation panels. But never seen a whole house done in concrete. I hope you have some "concrete" evidence for this claim.

[Massageman]

Habitat for Humanity built on in Virginia for a mom and her son. Numerous others. Blind search "printed houses" or on YouTube.

[Daniela1982]

A picture of a house in a magazine -aka - "printed house" doesn't count.

[Massageman]

lol - There are plenty of pix on-line of the actual machines "printing" the houses. You can easily see the 1-2" layers of concrete. Unless the wall is stucco-ed over, the layers are obvious.

[Massageman]

Thanks for the MHO.

[DonkeyDan]

I have one question, who the hell's clearing all that shit up? 😂

[Daniela1982]

Or what happens if someone has the dropsies and drops one and starts it going before they are ready?

[Massageman]

Apart from the "time on their hands issue", it really is interesting to me how they can: 1. rig up the synchronicity of events so that one row will meet and pass another, split and go in opposite directions or even five ways at once. 2. they know exactly where to pull the critical links so that if one section blows, then the re-build is confined to that section only. 3. Pay for all those blocks (some had sponsors, of course - that helps.

@Massageman I have my own domino effect. If I am working on a project in my garage and knock a board over and try and catch it, instead it just manages to knock a dozen of other boards over. My new motto mis, if one falls they all fall.

[Massageman]

Been there, picked up that! My boards ran';t usually content with just knocking over more boards - they like to take out a cabinet or two, also. (the stinking' over-achievers).

[Daniela1982]

@Massageman It happens to the best of us.

[Likes2drive]

I think it’s called a Roule Goldberg when they do that if I spelled it right

[Massageman]

THAT'S THE GUY - Rube Goldberg
rubegoldberg. com
Reuben Garrett Lucius Goldberg, known best as Rube Goldberg, was an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor. Goldberg is best known for his popular cartoons depicting complicated gadgets performing simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways.

@Massageman Yeah that’s it, thanks 👍

[Daniela1982]

His name was right there on the video title. How did you miss it?

[Likes2drive]

Probably because I didn’t look at all the videos since I’ve been driving for hours

[Daniela1982]

Do that on your own time.

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I will but I was already familiar with Rube Goldberg‘s contraptions before that

[Surely]

Would you believe that I still have a working mouse trap game from the sixties?

[Daniela1982]

I did too, stored away, but my mom gave it to my sister for her kids. I can just imagine the pieces being thrown all over the house. Probably wasn't worth much anyway as the game has been in production since then with many updates.

[bigpauly]

This stuff is insane. I’d never have the patience to set something like that up

[Daniela1982]

Me either. I would be crazy by the end of it.

[msc545]

WHo spends all the time it takes to set this up? Waste of time!

[Daniela1982]

I bet you waste more time posting on G@G.

[msc545]

not even close

[exitseven]

Yes, I am sure it took a long time.
