Drunk people have a hilarious tendency to climb on top of stuff and then start shouting at the top of their lungs.
I guess the inner monkey brain takes over and gates, tables, counters, cars, balconies, ledges and any other man made object start looking a lot like a tree, and we are now singing the song of our ancestors.
When I see a drunk get hurt, 80% of it was caused by this and forgetting things like they haven't worked out in 3 years and lack grip strength.

In just two months since its launch, the initiative, which enables the purchase of American weapons with the financial support of NATO member states, has already reached $2.1 billion.
We also discussed the threats stemming from the escalation of Russian aggression. Violations of NATO member states’ airspace are not mistakes but deliberate actions by Russia.

When he passed away back in 2016 my mom gave it to me and I put a new-ish engine in it and other than needing a new clutch and starter (going in this weekend) it's been pretty solid.
Apart from that, I have a hammer that is slightly older than me, from the early-mid 70s, that has never failed me. At work, we have a Black and Decker jigsaw that is also from the early 70s that still works fine as well, just needs to be oiled every now and then.

Various Strowger phone switching gear from ~1935-1950 that could work if wired up correctly.

I’m using it with a shallow-angled jig holding two very thin panels for a guitar I built. The plane is being used to make the edges extremely flat do the panels can be glued edgewise.
The shallow-angle on the jig is so that the actual cutting point traverses the plane knife so that it dulls evenly.

I think the engine will outlast any made today.

in reply to smellsofbikes • • •It has a 1.8 liter Isuzu that was more commonly used for generators, forklifts, marine applications, et cetera, so it's overbuilt for a car - the head and block are cast iron, it has piston squirters, it has crazy thick bearings...
It's also 100% mechanical. The most complex circuitry in the whole car is the analog glow plug controller. No computers needed! Heck - if I really wanted, no electricity at all is needed. It'll be perfect for after the apocalypse.
Plus, it gets > 40 MPG 😁

in reply to Nanoraptor • • •I have a Starrett combination square that my grandfather bought used during the Great Depression. Likely from the 1910's or 1920's. It's still perfectly true, and easier to work with than any new ones. The level even still works.
It's far, far better than most new combo squares they make today. Only ones that are still as good are Mitutoyo. Even contemporary Starretts aren't as good, their QC has been slipping.

I've also got a lime kiln that's visible on maps from the late 1800s, but it's now got a tree growing in the middle of it so would require some work to get going again. It's near the ironworks where the process to mass produce steel economically was discovered, so lime from it may have been used in those experiments!

(I have a circular garret, up a winding staircase! And an irregular septagonal kitchen! And floors that aren't flat because the joists are 200 years old and were carved from the same 500 year old oaks as Royal Navy ships of the line! Also patchy wifi because 3 foot thick stone walls between some of the rooms, but we can't have everything.)

We remember the highlights. But the pervasive homophobia of the 1980s, the ghastly death toll from AIDS extending into the 1990s, PTSD from fear of nuclear war—these all get filtered out by the rosy glow of nostalgia.

I have a pair of binoculars (probably "field glasses" back then) which belonged to my great-grandfather (or maybe great-great-grandfather, I lose track) when he was a war correspondent in WW I. That makes them over a century old. His folding (!) miniature typewriter used to be in the family too; possibly my brother still has it.
I still use the Aroma rice cooker I got after breaking up with my 1st wife, 27 years ago. Works great.

About 10 feet away from me is a LaserJet 4MP that I bought in 1994. It is hooked up vai a parallel to usb cable to an Apple Airport Express.
That makes it available to everything on the network. And, since it does postscript… all you need is a generic postscript driver.
I don’t print a lot these days, but it still works like a champ.

If you mean mechanical machines, I have my great great grandfathers pocket watch. The exact year it was made is unknown, but the clockwork is not made after 1905. We believe it is mid to late 1890's. It still works and I still use it when I'm in a three piece suit.
Then, I have a first edition of the His Masters Voice Model 102 from 1936. Still in working condition, even though it could use some tightening, cleaning and a bit of oil...
