Did not watch it (yet) but there should be two antennas.

"Begging for food isn't sweet, it's lazy and a welfare mentality [of the mockingbird]", is this the politization of biology?

Wait until those birds come at you with guns to argue.

Maybe interesting for some, i already posted something about the Citroen CX glider which was in a way the successor of this monster, if not a sportscar of course.

A friend of mine owns an SM and we won a rallye in it against Ferraris and Porsches, most probably because no one else dared to make more than a hundred miles on the bad rural roads; but honestly you did not sense any of this inside. Problem was driving slow because the Weber carburettors would not like that in an overheated environment, causing steam bubbles in the fuel lines etc.. The cause has now been eliminated by installing a self-made Y-formed fresh air duct to airfilter and intakes.

Another thing to be honest about is that maintaining this properly reminds one of its name "SM", and that this rumbling 90 degrees angle V6 does not suit the otherwise smooth car at all

For Eichhörnchen, ...

This both humorous and interesting...

IIRC, I posted another clip by this guy a while back on the same subject; this is his updated version of his efforts to thwart squirrels from raiding his backyard=rd bird feeder; Mark Rober is a genuine 'rocket scientist', having been a nearly decade-long engineer at NASA as a part of the Curiosity Rover team; his application of higher engineering principles to seemingly mundane issues/problems is his way of making engineering and science enjoyable for the layperson; Rube Goldberg would have been proud...
