Proxies are central in ensuring proper protection and anonymity while online. But everyone doesn’t use the same proxy as the type of proxy you lean toward would depend largely on what kind of operations you perform online. For instance, some people perform highly sensitive operations requiring well-guarded internet protocol (IP) addresses and locations. These people may then need to use dedicated or private proxies to ensure that the reputation of their IPs is always intact as they surf the web. Such reputation is not necessary for other users as their operations may need to be at a much lower cost. For this group of people, a semi-dedicated proxy would suffice.…
As the timeless fairy tale Jack and The Beanstalk would have you know, buying stuff is cool but growing your own stuff is even cooler. Then again, growing that beanstalk led to him stealing a golden goose which led to him buying more stuff, so maybe that isn’t the best example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fei-uMvRJI&ab_channel=TheKiwiGrower A good example though, is this water bottle made by a New Zealand-based YouTuber known only as TheKiwiGrower. With a handful of bottle gourd seeds (also known as a calabash), he spent about a year growing and cultivating his plants before using them to store water. It isn’t the most time-efficient method of creating a water bottle, mind…
Being one of the world’s most popular toys for 90 years now, it’s no surprise that there have been many attempts to recreate LEGO’s iconic blocks. I mean, it can’t be that hard, can it? But something about the Denmark-made blocks feels different from its competition and knock-offs. The materials are sturdier, the shapes more consistent. This makes itself evident when you fit a modern LEGO block with one made years ago with no difficulty whatsoever. These pieces were made to work together, no matter when or where they were made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3oiy9eekzk&ab_channel=TheLEGOGroup This old LEGO production video by The LEGO Group shows how tons of plastic granulate are shaped into…
Woodturning is nothing new; you see woodworkers chisel away at logs all the time. Now “cinnamon turning” – the act of turning cinnamon on a lathe – that’s something you don’t see (or smell every day). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIjzLTQdflg&ab_channel=Villywoodturning According to Villy of Villy woodturning, turning cinnamon isn’t that different than how you would turn something else that isn’t wood on a lathe. You still have to cast the material in resin to create a workable material, and yes, your workshop will still be chockful of shavings of the said material as you shape it. Villy made two cinnamon resin casts in his case – one large cast to make a bowl…
I talked about something Harry Potter-inspired last year, so it only makes sense that this year should be The Year of the Ring. Whether you understood the story or not, you can’t deny that the props, costumes, and stellar animation helped make The Lord of The Rings movie trilogy the timeless classic it is today. But before viewers were thrust into the war for the One Ring, we all remember being introduced to the cinematic world of Middle Earth by way of the peaceful Shire. Inspired by the opening scenes of Peter Jackson’s trilogy, Make N’ Create crafted his own Bilbo Baggins smoking pipe. You know the one: a long-stemmed…
When you think of a shooting range, you usually picture an enclosed space or maybe even an abandoned junkyard. Rarely, if ever, do you imagine it located on a busy road. And yet, the Brünnlisau shooting range in Switzerland is just that. Not only is the shooting range located near the Ausserlatterbach highway (one of the busiest in the country), but the targets shot by its clientele are on the opposite side of the road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h1s6S4kotE&t=29s&ab_channel=TomScott In an interview with Tom Scott, Brünnlisau shooting range president Edwin Karlen says around 160 gun club members practice regularly. That’s in addition to them hosting a hundred or more soldiers for their compulsory gun…
