    @ptrooper, ^^^^great journey and pictures!

    Had to look up "Furphies".

    Furphies is an Australian slang term that means a rumor, false report, or absurd story.

    Origin of the Term
    The Furphy Foundry: The word comes from J. Furphy & Sons, a metal foundry established in Shepparton, Victoria, in 1864 by John Furphy.

    Water Carts: The company manufactured horse-drawn farm water and sanitation carts stamped with the "Furphy" name.

    Usage and Modern Culture
    Slang: People use the phrase "telling a furphy" when someone shares dubious or fabricated information.

    Furphy Beer: The name also inspired a popular Australian commercial beer brand known for its refreshing ales and lagers, playing on the tradition of spinning yarns with friends.

    Have you ever noticed we live in a country where a 95-year-old man can walk into a mud pit in Chicago, call his band The ****, and start reciting "Crazy Train" like he’s giving a TED Talk from the afterlife?

    William Shatner. Ninety-five. Riot Fest. Douglass Park. REMEMBER...He's 95 and rockin in his way... :D

    I seem to not understand the concept.

    American Pie - Drove my Chevy to the Levy but the Levy was Dry
    October 2 1945 is Don McLean's birthday! Here he is performing the full version of his classic 1971 smash hit "American Pie" live on CabaRay Nashville. This CabaRay Nashville performance was originally recorded and broadcast in January 2018.

    Because it is a fan favorite, host Ray Stevens and McLean's official pages re-share the video clip every year on October 2nd to celebrate his birthday as it was done on Friday of last week.

    That's literally the same video I posted, and then found it was AI generated. I was wondering why the person was pedaling the bike for no reason.

    That "Community Note" was added after I first saw and shared the video. That thing has gone viral today. The number of views has gone up by more than 25 million since earlier today.

    I worked for a Plumbing and drain cleaning Co. for 7 years.

    I've seen some stuff similar to those videos and ALOT more. This Co. had pressure hose power 50 times that little homeowner thing he was using. The big pressure cleaner was mounted in a box-truck, with it's own water tank that was filled by a fire-hydrant. the nozzle pressure, like that in the videos above would slice through skin like butter. In those seven years, nobody got hurt. You RESPECT the nozzle!

    It was an experience everybody should see, like a Police ride-along.

    7 years seeing that happen off and on. I did mostly carpentry but if none was to be done, I was beside the owner and others doing major drain cleaning and water heater replacements. A lot of commercial pipe cleaning too.

    I was a licensed and registered plumber/gas fitter for over 20 years , me mate there as you can see is still going .We have to be here ,just to change a tap washer or anything plumbing...........Highly regulated.

    High-Pressure Water Jetting: Operating high-pressure water jet systems for drain cleaning requires specific competency training (such as units under AS/NZS 4233.1:2013), and if the work alters or repairs the drainage system itself, it must be performed or overseen by a licensed plumbing contractor.

    • What you CAN do without a licence: Recent WA legislative reforms allow an unlicensed person or homeowner to clear a basic, localized blockage (like a clogged sink or toilet) using a standard hand plunger.

    • Why pressure jetting is restricted: Using a high-pressure water jet system to flush out structural sewer or stormwater lines falls squarely under trade drainage maintenance. Doing this commercially without a WA Plumbers Licensing Board licence carries severe legal penalties and voids the homeowner’s insurance if a pipe is damaged.

    The standard pressure washers (hydro-jetters) used by professional plumbers for blasting out domestic and commercial drains in Australia are typically operating in the 3,500 to 5,000 PSI range.

    Don't be fooled by that little jet, Tissue and Bone Destruction: A direct blast at close range acts like a kinetic hammer. It can instantly shred flesh, strip muscles away from the bone, and shatter small bones in the hand

    The pressures that you used(50 times more) would cut our upvc ,earthenware and steel pipes in half... 200 000 psi is allot.......scary stuff.

    I seen a painter look into a blocked spray gun and squeeze that trigger = stimpy, he shot a lump of paint into his tongue and his heart stopped 3 times on the way to hospital.A CPR day.

    I've stood for many hours looking down at this happening down in the hole. That orange hose is what we used. That spray coming out is intense, too. POWER! ;)
