A fisherman in Kiev electrocuted himself while fishing in the

River Tereblya. The 43 year-old man connected cables to the main power

supply of his home, and trailed the end into the river. The electric shock

killed the fish, which floated belly-up to the top of the water. The man waded in to

collect his catch, neglecting to remove the live wire, and tragically suffered

the same fate as the fish. ...In an ironic twist, the man was fishing for a

morning meal to commemorate the first anniversary of his mother-in-law's death.

Actually, I use dynomite... or C4.  Whichever I come across.  Just throw it out and BOOM!!!!  Scoop em with a net.  I practice "Catch and Filet" fishing so I dont waste any. ;)

sounds like south park when they go hunting.  Ever see that episode?  Jimbo uses a rocket launcher to get a deer.  Ned uses dynomite to fish.  

 

Also around here they actually do electrocute fish.  The dnr uses a special boat the fish dont die but they tage them or count em or something.  Then after the shock the wake up and swim again haha

They do that out here too at Lake Mead too.  But they are trying to test and study the fish to find out why they are mutating in wired ways, there are some really screwed up fish out there.  (We have some water problems here)

Any fish like "Blinky" from the simpsons?

I dunno.  But there are male fish with female reproductive parts and female fish with some male parts, among other things. ???  :exclaim:

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
