This reminds of a guy who was doing road work on my street a while ago. Crusty-est redneck you can imagine with a cigarette in his mouth at all times. He was a damn artist with the heavy machinery, though. I remember him carefully smoothing and filling the road after digging and it was done with delicacy and attention to detail like you wouldn't believe. My wife and I named him Dale.

Like Rex for a dog or... I don't get it...

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Looks like Dale from King of the Hill?

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Et tu Dale?

[–] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago

That combo brush/claw attachment is slick!

My god, I would gladly switch careers so long as my ADD and I got to play with ~~toys~~ tools like that.

I already have several dozen hours of experience on a mini excavator and a mini skid steer, too bad a wrist connection like this just isn’t made for the cheap Chinese mini excavators.

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, these careers are going extinct, so they're not badly paid nowadays (speaking from experience).

[–] 11111one11111@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The career is going instinct like not enough jobs or the people entering these fields as career choices is going extinct so there is seemingly more work than available tradesman?

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The number of people going into these fields as a career choices are less and less, that is what I meant.

I'm sooooo satisfied

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My toxic trait is thinking that I can do this

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

...and be a pro at it within days.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

Nah. First time.

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I watched a video earlier of a robot hot dog machine fucking up monumentally while trying to dispense a hot dog, and then I watched this video and man, it really is going to be a long time before we have to worry about robots taking all the jobs.

Your assuming the importance of quality.

[–] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

*you're

sorry i have an illness

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Nah, you're right.

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

cool video. How do the attachments work? there's some kind of locking mechanism right? seemed like they just scooped up the attachments into place, but that would also mean certain movement could make the attachments fall off, unless there's a locking mechanism.

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, there's an unlocking mechanism activated on the operator's side. The locking is automatic (with a swipe), but not the unlocking.

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Thanks! Makes sense

[–] _____@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Millions of skilled labourers probably like this exist across the globe with talent and skill beyond anything we could even imagine.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 9 points 2 months ago

I'm sad he didnt do a little tappy tap on the lid after he gently placed it.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was obviously impressive work, but what was the work?

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Walter, where is the money?

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

He even packed up his stuff and straightened it up πŸ₯Ί

[–] kenoh@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

This is the closest thing I've seen to an IRL labor mech from Patlabor

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Just think how good this person could be with a little practice!

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Bro wtf I never imagined this is what it's like to be inside of one of those yellow excavators. That looks so fucking fun!

[–] d00ery@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't let the AI see how well the digger arm can manipulate it's environment!

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Here? No chance. But it was posted on reddit first 🀷.

[–] zante@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 months ago

Like that time I ran a marathon in 20 minutes
