I'm sure some nerds have mathed this out, but I think this is probably 'realistic.' 1. It's a scout vehicle, not a main battle tank, so most likely only lightly armored. 2. If those logs are freshly cut and 'green' they could weigh several tons apiece. The internet says they appear to be 9 meters long and a similar redwood trunk could weight up to 25,000 lbs apparently. 3. F=MA can do serious work, with that kind of weight, even at relatively slow speeds. 4. Especially given that the armor of that vehicle is probably designed to reflect small arms and vehicle fire, not survive being crushed by a weight likely as much or greater than the entire vehicle. Remember kids, for Newton to do his work, you can just make either mass or acceleration is really big and in this case it appears that mass is disproportionately large for the other numbers lol
No armored vehicle created by an advanced galaxy spanning civilization should ever be capable of being destroyed by logs. There is no way this would even remotely damage a current day tank.

Wow, terrible. Why would you ever start a manufacturing company in New York state with this sort of restriction? OTOH, seems like there are a few angles where this could be found unconstitutional.
CNC banned? New York law just passed: 3D Printers & CNC machines now require built-in surveillance software to block you from making firearms parts. A separate background-check bill remains pending in committee. New York has passed first-in-the-nation regulations targeting 3D printers (and, per multiple analyses of the bill language, CNC machines) sold in the state. This includes mandatory “blocking technology” (often described as surveillance or censorware-style software) and face-to-face sales requirements that effectively end easy online purchases and shipping. What Was Just Passed (FY 2027 Budget – Signed ~May 27, 2026) Governor Kathy Hochul signed the provisions as part of the enacted FY 2027 state budget (Public Protection and General Government bill, originating in S.9005 /A.10005, Part C) Key elements include: • Mandatory blocking/surveillance technology on 3D printers sold in New York • Every 3D printer must include (or be equipped with) technology/algorithms that scan design files and block attempts to print firearm components ---> examples: software will scan your program to determine if you are making receivers, frames, silencers/suppressors, or machine-gun conversion devices. • The state will maintain or reference a library of prohibited “digital firearm manufacturing code.” • A task force (led by the Division of Criminal Justice Services, with experts in manufacturing, AI, and security) will develop minimum safety standards and regulations. • Broad application to CNC machines (and potentially subtractive manufacturing) ---> Detailed bill analyses (EFF, technical reporting, and maker-community reviews) confirm the language covers **CNC machines** and machines using subtractive manufacturing from digital files. ---> This goes beyond consumer 3D printers to industrial equipment. Official governor announcements emphasize 3D printers, but the enacted provisions are written more broadly. • Face-to-face sales and delivery only: No online sales, no shipping to New York addresses. ---> All transactions must occur in person between buyer and seller. This directly bans convenient online purchases from major retailers or manufacturers. • Criminal penalties for files and manufacturing. • It is now a crime (Class E felony in some formulations) to possess, sell, or distribute digital files/blueprints intended for printing illegal firearms or components (with intent or knowledge elements). • Implementation timeline: The law is effective upon signing for some criminal provisions, but the technical standards and blocking requirements will take time. --> The task force has roughly a year for recommendations, followed by rulemaking. --> Non-compliant sales could face liability once rules are in place. Manufacturers will likely need to create NY-specific compliant models (or stop selling/shipping there).

Needed an extension for my drain. Didn't want to go to the hardware store. 3D-printed solution... Also, golf balls.

Though now that I look to my right, I do see a genuine @Fender amp... And the pickups on my knockoff kit guitar are now by Fender. Shame on them for legally shaky tactics likely wouldn't improve their bottom line anyway if (somehow) successful

TFW you go to check up on a proposal you sent out a week ago and realize you forgot to actually attach the PDF to the email🤦‍♂️

It always amazes me that products like these exist A constant tug of war between policies and real life. The example takes the cake however. Not even pretending the use case is legitimate.
