Darchangel posted:Whole lotta people who don't realize that water weights around 7 pounds per gallon, and/or can't do the math. This one time, at band camp, one of the trombone players had a pickup truck and he got the brilliant idea that he could line the bed with a big tarp and fill it with water before driving to marching practice, so we'd have a "pool" to cool off in during breaks. Fortunately one of the nerdier members of the band did the math before he actually tried it.

In terms of weird early OSHA, there's a bit in the Talmud about a guy who "falls off a roof and is inserted into a woman by the force of his fall" and the legal consequences thereof.

There was a rapist in iirc England a couple of years ago who got acquitted with that defense

Huh. The Talmud specifically does _not_ acquit a guy for doing that. I know the British courts are conservative as gently caress, but it's a real bad sign when you're farther to the right than a third-century Rabbinate discussing Levirate marriage.

This has got to be a maintenance nightmare that you only very rarely get to appreciate like in this video. I still kind of want it. https://i.imgur.com/a1tASx2.mp4 Platystemon fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Apr 12, 2023 |

Which means it's going to dribble off the edge(s) somewhere and even worse sit in there and get filthy all the time. Other regular skylights are dished and/or angled to get water off of them immediately.

Not a toaster. It's a paper towel dispenser. Handy for cleaning up the mess caused by having three loving spigots emptying into one sink.

Aware posted:7 pounds per gallon... I don't often wtf at imperial units but this one nailed me. What a pain in the rear end. It’s not even right. It’s eight and a third pounds for U.S. gallons, and almost precisely ten pounds for imperial gallons, because the imperial gallon was redefined on that basis by the Brits some decades after the U.S. won independence.

Calories are poo poo and are muscling in on the real SI unit of energy, the joule. Australia gets this one right.

Equating weight to volume isn't entirely fair (although our system is still stupid in many ways) since it's defined to be 231 cubic inches of volume. 8 1/3 pounds is at least somewhat convenient for estimating weight since 3 gallons = 25 pounds.
