LingcodKilla posted:It's almost like being extra-careful while driving 50 people around is a good thing. If the right of way system, which feeds into the gates, is bum the railroads have a bigger a problem. But then right of way crashes are in the new enough to not trust it anyway. I don't know if it was actually in the driving code anywhere or if it was just the instructor's pet peeve but I remember in the classroom portion of drivers ed that the gates being up was not a replacement for verifying by sight and sound. It makes the most sense as a blanket policy because of ungated crossings.

Oh, of course he turns out to be a "sovereign citizen". They make themselves very easy to spot when they start shouting magic words to make the police stand down.

The officers were told to pursue charges through an arrest warrant affidavit. Why the kid gloves treatment?

On my way to work today I passed the scene of an accident and got rear-ended at around 30mph at a red light by a guy looking at said scene and not paying attention. There were like three cops and a loving fire truck on us in like 30 seconds since they were right there, it was wicked overkill. My tiny '09 Chevy Aveo suffered a hosed up bumper while his Mitsubishi Eclipse was pretty much totaled. His insurance is gonna cover all the damage to my car plus a rental while its in the shop so whatever, I'm just glad the cop didn't notice I'm overdue for my inspection. salty fries make me cry fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Jul 24, 2015 |

VectorSigma posted:I have definitely used commercial lawn equipment to which this applies. Namely, a Scag walk-behind with a Velke wheel attachment. You have to be confident and almost sort of hang loose and not manhandle it, or it will throw you off like a bucking bronco. I was pretty good at it. One of my coworkers was not. In less replying to old posts, my dad has no toenail on a couple toes on his right foot. He was mowing the lawn and slipped! Foot went under the mower. The cutoff bar saved his foot--and his life--by stopping the mower before it chewed him up more. My mom drove him to the hospital with his foot propped up on the dashboard. At one point the doctor's nurse just... disappeared, so the doctor recruited my grandmother--who used to be a nurse--to step in! My dad and I always wear steel toed boots to mow now.

When I was learning to use them back in my janitor days, it was very much a matter of gently guiding the thing while still controlling it, rather than trying to force it. Try to force it, it'll spin away and sit there spinning around and around until you unplug it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KvxOuC7Bhc

When I was like 13 or 14, I'd be hanging out with my buddy and his mom would ask us to mow the lawn. We got this brilliant idea to tip the lawnmower up and throw sticks, old dolls (he was oldest brother), and whatever other random poo poo you find in the backyard at the blades. Looking back, I'm surprised I still have depth perception.

I am trying to find information an accident at a power plant I've only heard described as "Marietta 5" or "Marietta Unit 5". Basically they had a turbine and a generator, and a short circuit occurred - I'm not sure if it was near the generator or elsewhere in the power system. But so much torque was developed in the generator it tore off its base and crushed a worker who was unlucky enough to be standing nearby. (I assume that the coupling between the turbine and generator held for too long before snapping, so that probably contributed to the torque developed that tore the generator off its concrete base pad.)

Someone was killed by a monster truck show accident last year in the Netherlands. There should be a deep ditch between them and the crowd for safety. Just like with dangerous animals at the zoo.
