I'm working on examples for the Hydraulic Press Channel again. In some videos, the host says, before potentially pressing something dangerous, that he'll have to set up an extremely complicated remote control system to operate his hydraulic press safely. This remote control system is revealed to be a strap tied to the handle that lowers the press.
It's probably some kind of humor trope, but that index is huuuuuge and I'm not familiar with much of it.
