Remote-Controlled Snowplow


(YouTube Link)

Rob Klinkey built this remote-controlled snowplow. Roboplow has a 50 inch blade, six powered wheels, and 660 amps of power. The blade can be pneumatically controlled in four directions. Lights and a mounted camera allow the Roboplow to be driven while out of sight and at night.

The times they really are achanging- Back in the days the youngsters could make some bucks by clearing snow for the neighbors. Nowadays some dude buys a few hundreds of dollars worth of electronic components and a coffin and six wheels and a blade and hey presto now it's unemployment for the kids in the hood... I tell ya this thing will be responsible for the rising of youth-criminality!

@nutbastard and @Colin.

I doubt it. This was built in a freedom loving country. It uses man units like inches and pounds not surrender eating metric. It more likely weighs about 6feet and gets 50 110 volts to the mile.

I would expect the result to be correlated to the limited off-shelf life of mayonnaise and not to the actual consumption...

For me it is just the other way, ... i like mayonnaise, but i can’t stand this "Miracle Whip" stuff.

I even order a „Quarter Pounder with Lettuce and Tomato“ (still available here) without the white greasy stuff...

Looking at the chart in comparison to the strength of the flavor of each condiment, it seems like the order is right on par.

- Mayo has the weakest flavor by a large margin
- Ketchup, Soy Sauce, and BBQ are about equal to one another (BBQ varies a little depending on style).
- Hot sauce, Mustard , and Steak Sauce are very strong flavors.

Looking at it that way, we would expect a regular person to go through a jar of mayo faster than they go through an equal size jar of mustard, simply because it takes a lot less mustard to blend with the various flavors in a sandwich. The chart looks like about 4x as much mayo is consumed, and tbh, I would readily say that mustard's flavor is easily 4x stronger than mayo, so 1/4 of it is necessary to be enough for balance of flavors in a dish that has both.

Some of this might be skewed by the price per ounce, as it is in dollars, although I think the prices of ketchup, mayo, and soy sauce are all about the same at a regular store. Although when cooking, as opposed to just using as a condiment, I would say a lot more mayo gets used in things like potato salad compared to how much ketchup or mustard would get used in something like a coating a meatloaf or roast, etc. I probably spend the most on soy sauce even when buying bulk containers, as it gets used a lot in cooking, while a small container of mustard lasts a couple months, and I end up leaving ketchup in the fridge enough years it goes bad.
