The Scientist posted:Yeah that's where I used to live. They paved from the end of the shoulder to about 3 feet into the left lane, and about the same but reverse on the right side. I was at the end of a long road trip there just the other day. Everyone was driving with two wheels 3 inches higher on nice, smooth pavement, and the other 2 down on some scuffed up road foundation. I was out of gently caress to give so I just cruised, offset from everybody else, on some nice rear end pavement along the shoulder. There were no lines anyway, so who cares? 95 sucks in pretty much any state it runs through.

Pringleton posted:They've progressed a lot, I-95 in Brevard is now cones along one side, concrete barricades along the other and uneven lanes along the entire length. Every so often another stretch will repave a lane, then shift the lines half a lane over, so there's a 1-2 inch drop in the middle of each lane and a soft shoulder. I'm starting to think the state measures the success of a construction project by how many motorcyclists they kill. At least the Pineda Causeway exit exists now, saves like fifteen minutes every time I go to or leave Satellite Beach. I-95 is actually pretty good in Miami, it's the section of US-1 south of it that ruins me.

Wasn't there a post somewhere on the forums where a guy was doing some hot welding and used brake cleaner before welding. One time he didn't let the cleaner evaporate and started welding ontop of it and he inhaled a bit of the fumes. Few days later he had major liver and kidney damage as well as severely incapacitated, all due to him inhaling just a bit.

Carbon tetrachloride can also produce phosgene at temperature, which is unfortunate, as it used to be used for fire extinguishers...

greg_graffin posted:This had the great makings of a Darwin Award. He has a point though. A lot of people don't see things like brake cleaner as excessively dangerous, merely as slightly irritating when it gets on your skin. The gist of our poorly thought assumptions equate to nothing more than "don't drink it hurf durf  ". I'm not defending the dude but the education about these products is really lacking.

You can't even buy chlorinated brake cleaner in a lot of states anymore, and most parts stores don't even carry it in the states that do. It's not really a thing to worry about anymore.

RapeWhistle posted:Yep. Apparently that poo poo turns into phosgene when burned at a certain temp. or something. Assuming what I had read is true, it's not the heat, but the UV radiation that turns chlorinated cleaners into phosgene. But OSHA mentions intense heat, so maybe it's both. [quote="OSHA Office of Training and Education May 1996] PHOSGENE Phosgene is formed by decomposition of chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents by ultraviolet radiation. It reacts with moisture in the lungs to produce hydrogen chloride, which in turn destroys lung tissue. For this reason, any use of chlorinated solvents should be well away from welding operations or any operation in which ultraviolet radiation or intense heat is generated. [/quote]

This was a few years ago and the internet wasn't quite as well populated and it might not have noted that phosgene poisoning is slow. Or he could be dumber than average.

How does a significant amount of extremely low vapor pressure solvent not evaporate well before the guy's weld bead gets to it? And why did his phosgene poisoning not exhibit symptoms of phosgene poisoning? Where's the pulmonary edema within 48 hours? Where they gently caress did his kidneys come from? This guy's story has never made any sense.

If the prevailing speed of traffic was 33 in a 35 zone, I think there'd be more road rage incidents.

the poi posted:How does a significant amount of extremely low vapor pressure solvent not evaporate well before the guy's weld bead gets to it?  UV radiation travels at the speed of light. Under the right circumstances significant amounts of UV radiation could potentially reach a solvent-soaked part of metal being welded before the temperature of the metal increased enough to evaporate 100% of the solvent.

Doesn't change the fact that driving under the prevailing speed of traffic makes things more dangerous for everyone else. I drive the speed limit (35) where it's not uncommon to be passed by someone doing 45+. Though the main reason I actually follow it is I know the cops will randomly ticket people in this area for going over 35. Plus I'm curious why people would speed directly in front of a police station.

Or you know, since 99.9% of the time people speeding around me/weaving in and out of traffic just gets them to the stop sign/light faster. I would think that texting while driving/talking on the cell phone while driving/speeding/weaving in and out of traffic are all worse offences than going slightly slower than the limit.

Distracted driving is a serious hazard. Driving slower than the prevailing speed of traffic is also a serious hazard. Granted, it doesn't matter as much in urban settings, but it's still not something to brag about. And please, we all know that the "limit" is a farce, and most cops won't ticket until you're doing 5-10+ over. Regarding speeding: http://www.motorists.org/speed-limits/faq posted:Q.

From your own quote it uses the adverb significantly; EX: 10- the speed limit. 2 under is not a valid definition of significantly.

Actually, that quote was about you saying that speeding was more dangerous than driving under the prevailing speed, not about the degree of difference. Anyway, if people are really blowing your doors off every time you drive that stretch, you're going more than 2 under the prevailing speed.

If the GPS says I am going 33 in a 35, I am going 33. Furthermore, I try to stay in the right lane as much as possible on all roads and I speed up to 5+ over to pass if I catch up to someone. People tailgating me for inconveniencing them in their head, not in reality are the problem, because at that point they get outraged and tailgate and blare the horn. It is not my fault people are angry, that is their fault and their fault only.
