It also screams "this thing needs power, the power line runs up from the socket, place above socket" and put no more thought in than that.

I was at the movies this week and used the bathroom. The faucet and the soap were both motion activated, but the water was under-sensitive and the soap was over-sensitive, so each time I tried to rinse off my hands, it just kept squirting more soap on them, and when I'd finally get them rinsed, after the water shut off it would shoot soap on me again while I was moving my hands away.

Jaded Burnout posted:Oh. Well gently caress that guy. We just finished building a new wing of our hospital and I can tell you the person who installed this has absolutely no idea why this is wrong. Down five levels of sub-contractors someone hired a group of unqualified, minimum wage, labour hir numpties to come in after everything else is built and fitted out and told them to intall when there was no-one onsite to supervise. That dispenser is there because that's what the plans specify and they don't get paid otherwise. Of course, out of 400 battery operated dispensers only a quarter were in the location marked on the plans, had batteries included, and actually stayed attached to the wall for a full day, so maybe it's not the best method.

Yeah I’m on the other side of building a hospital and it’s just as challenging getting the hospital staff to reach consensus as to where these go and move half of the items that you place according to plans anyway.

All that was found of the people living in that house were desiccated corpses wrapped in spider-silk. Also, the windows were broken and it looks like a mass exodus of millions of spiders headed in the direction of your house.

My local shopping centre has recently remodeled their bathrooms. The soap now comes from motion-activated dispensers but they have no visual indication of activation, and there's some delay before the soap falls out. So of course it misses your frantically-waving hand and plops into the sink. In addition, the motion-activated taps are set uncomfortably hot.

This made me laugh so much at the robot bin presenting its garbo like a happy dog with a dead rat or a child with a lovely painting. Perhaps someone can explain, what's the point of motion-activated toilet flushes if the locks on the stall door are still manual? You don't get any hygiene benefit, so is it marketing? Are they easier to maintain or harder to break? Also whoever thought putting fully motion sensitive controls in my gym's shower can gently caress right off.

Do you have to motion to the toilet to get it to flush at all, or is it one of the ones that sense you moving away and that triggers the flush? The latter is a way of dealing with people who wont flush the toilet after using it.

Really makes you wary of ever signing anything if you get you PE license. The Citigroup Center crisis is another one that gets mentioned as a close call. This is another case that comes up a lot where some riggers modified a engineered crane lifting rig without get engineering approval and killed a few people. The bolts holding the rig together were also faulty or they might have gotten away with it. -Zydeco- fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jan 15, 2018 |

The Hyatt Regency collapse happened because, as stated, the design changed slightly. The cross beam was only meant to hold the weight of one walk way, but held two. The load for both was supposed to be bared (borne?) on the threaded rods. Yeah  I saw that episode of Engineering disasters.
