Looks like a locking pin where the groove sits against a sprung ball bearing. Easy enough to insert and release but prevents two parts from moving in a perpendicular path to the pin. Can be used to stop pivoting too.

Makes me think of the kind of pin that you pull out to lift up the seat of a rowing machine to store it vertically.

Now I’m onto an old nineties song lyric from Ammonia “you’re not the only one who… feels this way “

I don’t get it?

The curvy fir

The bum gum

The pillow willow

The “date” palm

The fine pine

The good wood

The butt tree

It’s sounds counter intuitive but paddling is wonderful and easy to become addicted. I have found it’s almost meditative for me and I love being on the water. It can def lead to calluses on your palms but I don’t find a great deal of pressure on individual fingers the way climbing holds can exert. It’s uniform and you can control how hard you push yourself. It’s not like “if I don’t use 100% I’m gonna fall”.

Food for thought maybe…

Good luck finding a new adventure!

…bout how much coal you have?

I read that URL as the Bill of Frights. I figured it was some fringe mob running an “institute” for tax breaks and brainwashing. I gotta go to bed. 🤦

4th wall-in’ it since the 80s

I asked if you were from Kent?

I like your take way better than mine, I think that’s exactly what happened! Still reckon it’s an Aussie ;)

Pretty sure that’s an Australian LOTO tag made by AAA printing. Which means it definitely says “cock”. Only thing that’s surprising about this on an Aussie mine site is that the word used doesn’t start with “cu…”

For additional evidence look at previous L and Cs written on the tag. Def Cs.

My guess is that someone either went to repair it and couldn’t find the issue so this additional helpful tag was added. Or similarly maybe a muppet thought it was still ok to use and again, this helpful tag was added for reinforcement.

Omg. Was that song referencing Dune all these years??!

Phoebe Waller-Bridge could write an absolute banger!
