Would also probably be better off using borosilicate and not worrying about annealing.

Sockser posted:I blow glass and I really appreciate all the different little rigs he built to standardize the process between getting perfect cuts and flares and seals In the comments of the youtube, you can find the some background info. The creator of the video was making a book about the history of radio, and was trying to replicate a 100-year-old design (one of the earliest Ferrie triodes). He intentionally only used tools suitable to when the radio was created. (That's why he's using that frightening-rear end mercury pump to generate vacuum.) That said, borosilicate glass was definitely available in 1915, so I'm not sure why he didn't use it.

Alereon posted:I'm really curious what kind of mortar this was, whether it malfunctioned, and what his injuries were. I can't imagine any of the fireworks I can buy commercially, even the illegal ones from the Indian reservation, would have enough recoil force to cause more than a headache unless the mortar exploded in the tube. The mortar may have malfunctioned but natural selection is working as intended.

chitoryu12 posted:Got another story from General Ickes about osha.mil.gov! This was when the F-15 was just entering service with the US Air Force. That poo poo's no joke. My work builds CH-47s. Production flight test flies them as they come off the line, then an Army pilot flies them, any gripes get fixed, then the Army signs the contract for that airframe and flies it away to go do Army stuff with it. We try to control FOD really tightly (way tighter than the Army does when they're operating the things). If a line worker loses a tool (which are all controlled), he tells people. Everybody working that airframe stops what they're doing and they look for that tool until it gets found. You can't be disciplined at all for saying "Hey, I lost a tool," but if you lose a tool and don't tell people and it gets discovered later, you lose your job. Several years ago one of the production test flights came back and one of the inspections found an extra bolt had found its way onto the aircraft, where it migrated around and found itself wedged up against the drive shaft in the shaft tunnel.  All those drive shaft segments are aluminum and are sort of important, given that they make the forward rotor spin and keep it synched to the aft rotor so the two of those don't meet in flight and turn the aircraft into a plummeting bus. The bolt head had scored a groove into the rotating drive shaft, and if they'd kept flying it would have failed eventually and everyone would have probably died. And this was not the first time that aircraft flew, so that means either that multiple detailed inspections had missed the bolt and the drive shaft damage, or that multiple detailed inspections missed a loose bolt somewhere and it rattled and bounced around until it came to rest in one of the most dangerous places it could have wound up.

DragQueenofAngmar posted:Farmers are loving hardcore. I currently sell ag equipment and I met a farmer at a trade show who had recently lost 3 fingers in some machine. Apparently it was a clean cut and they could have reattached them, but he decided to finish the harvest he was working on before heading to the ER From a page back, but every person I've ever talked to who lost a finger or got an end cut off says that they wish they had opted for amputation rather then getting it sewed back on. Apparently even with a clean cut it's nothing but trouble and never heals or feels right again. Or maybe it's lovely doctors around here idk.

What kind of price do you put on your own fingers? poo poo, I'm not saying I'd do it. What I'm saying is that there's some real weathered chaps that look at losing a few fingers as small issues in their greater worldview. Real old salt-of-the-earth "this is how we've always done it" types. 99% seems a bit high too, considering working conditions for some countries with terrible working conditions and forced labor on top of high population densities. Here in OSHA land though, I failed to get a picture of a guy transporting oxygen tanks with no caps on them that were in a lovely box with black rubber tie-downs holding the box to the bed of the truck. I'm sorry I failed you OSHA thread.

Or maybe it's lovely doctors around here idk. lovely doctors, I know a dude had all his on one hand cut off in some sort of industrial accident, and then sewn back on, and even with them not 100% right, it's still much better than no fingers at all. Took a long time to heal and he had a very good doctor, though. Friend managed to knock her big toenail off yesterday splitting logs with a sledgehammer, wearing flip-flops, while her new steel-capped boots sat neatly off to one side. I'm not even gonna ask.

Apparently even with a clean cut it's nothing but trouble and never heals or feels right again. Or maybe it's lovely doctors around here idk. Might be lovely doctors, but a lot of the problems are self-inflicted (after the fact). Post surgery therapy and exercise and mean the difference between getting 95% of your ability back or having a painful lump that is useless. My uncle severed a bunch of tendons in his forearm with a chop-saw and had to work for over a year to get to where he was sure he had 99% of his original ability in that hand. The exercised involved doing stuff that made his arm feel like it was literally on fire and would result in cramps and pains in his hand that wouldn't let him sleep for days since it felt like it was constantly being stabbed with needles. In the end his suffering paid off and he can barely tell that he once had no control over any of his fingers or his thumb in his one hand. A teen that had done something similar with a window (much cleaner cut and wound) had the same doctor, and he was never able to use that hand again as it pretty much froze and became useless after a few months because he refused to do any of the exercises required to keep his hand working. A lot of the people who said they had wished the finger(s) had not been sewn back on probably fall into the latter camp and now have a useless and painful lump because they were not disciplined enough to save their digit(s).
