Did you not adjust your day-drinking for the summer? Sounds like you're processing info with a bit too much clarity.

Well, since I have had two glasses of lime juice since getting home...
And I said that your video is "NOT" AI and the splashes/water is what it should be... (unless I am wrong)... not sure what the issue is!
Lawless clip is cool. But IMHO, AI.
Yours is legit. Because the water performance does not look like bad CGI.
Whatever. Not out to cause you offense. In fact, my post was out to say that you posted a 'real' video of a breaching ray.
Have an awesome day!
Sirhr!!
This looks fake, but spend time around the gulf coast and you’ll see em do this.
Not disagreeing with the flying skates... btut with the landing splash.
I am 100 percent sure they do this. But the splash in the above video is not skate-ish.
Or maybe I am wrong.
Just 'sayin.
Sirhr
You guys act like trained diving rays and skates isn’t even a thing
I didn't look close enough to spot a fake, but the action is real. It's part of their mating ritual.
The males try and make the loudest belly flop to attract the wimmerns
Nice saw. My all time favorite was the 038 Farm Boss. They gave them to the limbers but I bought one for myself, plenty for home use, tough as nails. Small enough to be easy on you but powerful enough to cut a good sized tree.As a point of order….
I had a MS241C with a decompression valve
The toughest I ever ran was a couple old Homelights. That was back when Homelite and McCulloch were the only options, Stihl was just getting known and Husky hadnt come over yet. This redneck kid was cutting a 3' Red Oak with a big old Homelite and when it fell it twisted and caught the bar, jerked the saw out of his hands, and butt stomped the saw hard. Bent the bar and the handle badly. He went to the truck, got a crow bar, straightened the handle, put a new bar on it, pulled the cord once and she cranked right up. A Stihl or Husky would have gone to the dump.
As a mason Ill say thats beautiful. No mortar joints is sweet. I wonder if he used the same brick in the firebox?
I used an 044 professionally as a much younger man and was always pleased with the performance. Left that career long ago. Just bought a MS400CM for farm work and rolled my eyes at computer this and magnesium that. Gotta say, that saw has more power with half the weight as my old trusted companion.
Ah! The good old Homeheavies! I can still feel phantom vibrations in my hands along with the carpal tunnel from cutting miles of fire-line with one.
I still have my Sthil O44 and it runs strong. It Defenitely out performs my dad’s little homeowner grade saw.
And, I have zero clue if the following is hopium, copium or real insight
Mumbo Jumbo
Had a similar accident with a grinder and a buffing wheel one time. Buffing between some boiler tubes when it caught a tube and kicked smooth out of my hands impacting my hip bone and wadding me up in my tyvek.

Smells of Q trust the plan hopium bs to me.
The chimp ?
And pictures.
Me and a buddy were using some angle grinders with wire wheels to clean some crusty-as-shit stainless pieces. All of a sudden I heard a commotion behind me and he was curled up on the ground writhing in pain. His wheel caught a sharp edge and spun the grinder, at the speed the wheel was just turning, into the side of his stomach. I tried asking what happened or if he needed anything and all he could do is moan in pain and try to get over the pain. Fun times at work
I have a MS440 (newer iteration of the 044) as my “big” saw and it is still excellent in power to weight.
That 400 is an absolute hotrod, great saw man
I had 8 pro Stihl saws a couple of years ago and started thinning them out to now just the 440 and a MS261C. The 241 (which is rare and no longer imported) went to a pro arborist in NH who had looked for one for a year.
288 with a 42" bar. My go to for the big stuff. Otherwise I use Husky 262 or a 272 XP.

Another buffing wheel story. This one related to me from my dad. They had a guy on their crew using one of the old black&decker wildcat 7" grinders with a buffing wheel. This was back in the days where the guards were looked at as optional. The guy running the grinder caught his shirt tail with the buffing wheel and the grinder ran up under his armpit. And somehow or another he was still on the trigger. Shirt wadded up I guess.
Anyway, he clamped down on that grinder hard enough to bog it down, climbed down a ladder, and unplugged it from the welding machine.

Speaking of chainsaws. On Monday night, I ran a crash course introduction to chainsaws for my State Emergency Service volunteer group.
Several of the girls had never handled chainsaws before so were scared of them. With some gentle coaching, I was able to get them all to learn the basic safety principals, PPE, and basic operation of the saws. One of the girls then posted this to her Instagram account.
(And yes, ignore the raised ear muffs, they are there simply as the face visor mounts to the helmet clips, we were all wearing class-5 earplugs. This photo was her first attempt at the Stihl saw, so her technique is not ideal, but she nailed the battery Makita 13" saw first up, easy)

You should have said that it was an AI recreation of actual events. That may have calmed the masses. Not likely, but I did say "may have".
We have a winner in the chainsaw measuring contest.
The rest of you are inadequate and your wives/ girlfriends are unsatisfied.
Speaking of big timber, old timers here remember this member for his infamous method of rifle break in by throwing it on the ground and listening for the "resonance", also his polite and understanding manner of posting. Did you also know he felled giant trees in Alaska? His YouTube channel has some great videos.

So, which one is it? Sorta looks like Fluttershy without pink hair. Personally, I'm a Rainbow Dash guy. Of course you know I'm gonna pick the sassy one!
Husky people
Seriously tho nice saw. I helped the cleanup effort after Helene by monitoring crews to be sure rules were followed. One team was from Oregon and had a 592….what a great saw that was. I have had 2 Huskys myself, I don’t often admit that
had a couple of Echos too 
Suddenly, things become clearer
Yaaassss
