"The Scout Machine is a light and fast attack vehicle. It has thin shielding and only a light heat ray, but its high speed and maneuvrability allow it to provide quick support and reconnaisance."

A metaphor that fascists and communists seem equally fond of, or perhaps only their critics: Likening society to a machine, where everyone is but a small cog in the system. Whether you use it to promote or condemn collectivism, it's poorly thought out.
First, there's an awful lot of very different kinds of machines. But fair enough, since the machine is just a metaphor anyway, it doesn't play too much of a role. However: Have you ever taken a good look at a machine? Any kind of machine? It's almost certainly made of many different parts. Not just "cogs". So I don't know why some people think a machine of all things is a good allegory to condemn individuality in favor of the collective.
One could argue, the opposite is true. Of some components, there are many identical copies built into the machine. Of others fewer, and of some, only one. Often those are the most critical components, without which the whole apparatus would malfunction or come to a standstill. That's the part they usually don't mention.
Just driving out and about I ran into a group of wind turbines in a field. The cool thing is that the company I work for makes parts for these. Have a great weekend everyone!

The Behemoth Machine Gun is a steam and recoil powered heavy machine gun, Chambered in .310 Trinity. It is manufactured by the Trinity Weapons Corporation, and is extremely powerful. It is water cooled and belt fed. It is able to be used by the infantry, but not very easily due to it's extreme bulk. It features a bayonet, just in case.
I think this is my greatest work, how about you guys?
UPDATE: I'm having a giveaway for another embroidered hoop on my blog if you're interested!

This is a detail view of a giant machine for the industrial production of matches. It's on display in the Swiss Match Museum ('Schweizerisches Zündholzmuseum') in Schönenwerd.

My previous machines used tensed thread to interlock the levers. My newer method uses 100% unmodified Lego, and is built with common parts. It is a very basic replication of tappet interlocking. As one lever is pulled into its reverse position is displaces the 1x1 round a half a plate into the gap on the adjacent tappet. This prevents the adjacent tappet from being reversed until the lever in reverse has been returned to normal. This basic principle is used to construct tappets so that arranging conflicting routes is impossible.
The machine controls five signals, that are part of an interlocking where three tracks converge to two. Each lever represents a route, either straight or diverging. Pulling the lever will clear a signal but, the actual aspect (y/y or y/r or g/r) is determined by the track circuits, not the lever.
It can be used with mechanical signals as well.
new washing machines are pretty inside. Although this one sucks ass because it seems like it doesnt have any POWER like the other violent washing machine that is sitting outside rotting.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and 'scouting for boys'
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school, and you
Know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine

before Spotify, Pandora, XM, iTunes, iPods, MP3s, CDs, cassettes, 8Tracks, electric record players and even radio stations, we had acoustic phonographs. I just happen to have one and it is like having my very own time machine.
The Big Red Machine (KC Chiefs) is on a roll and looking for a repeat, sit back and enjoy the ride in this 1954 Chevy 210 as seen at the 2017 Greaserama Car Show in Tracey Missouri.
Front loaded lego washing machine with openable door and detergent drawer, on/off switch, rotatable drum, hoses for cold water and drain and a plug.
This image is a stack of four identical images as the exposure time was fairly long and I wanted to counter any noise. The individual frames were shot at 16mm at an aperture of f/10. Exposure times varied between 35s and 30s. Developed from RAW using DxO Optics Pro 11 and post-processed using Affinity Photo. Use of a mirroring filter has transformed an image of my washing machine drum into something akin to a metallic flower. Not my normal sort of thing, but I think I may do more of this, just for fun!

The Roebling Machine Shop is located in Trenton, NJ. One of many buildings owned by John A. Roebling. The building served as the machine shop for Roebling's wire rope.
"The John A. Roebling’s Sons Company, the largest employer in Trenton and a world leader in the construction of suspension bridges had its beginnings when John Roebling started making wire rope in 1841 in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, and moved his factory to Trenton in 1848. His sons built the steel and wire mill and town of Roebling, NJ, in 1905. In 1953, the family sold the Trenton and Roebling plants to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company (CF&I). CF&I closed the Trenton plants in 1973 and the Roebling, NJ, plant in 1974."
