Some firefighters from my home county who'd been deployed to fight fires in central California almost got hit by a load of retardant. The video has been removed from YouTube but somebody made a gif of it. http://i.imgur.com/lAXV5yl.gifv

Carbon dioxide posted:Yeah, the Russians are really pissed off about the MH17 thing. They are running a campaign to say that the investigation wasn't done properly. And they used some stupid excuse to implement annoying extra border controls for Dutch flower imports. The company responsible for this also decided to start working on a bridge during a storm a few weeks ago and managed to drop about 5 tons of concrete on the legs of one of their workers. Safety is definitely not something they're good at.

goodness posted:Does this stuff have any effect on the wildlife? Apparently it's a slurry of water and ammonium phosphate fertilizer. From what I can find the main concern seems to be if it gets in waterways it can cause a fish kill, so they try to avoid dropping it within 300-600 feet of creeks, rivers, etc.

Our gently caress up is fighting the fires. Fires are natural and if allowed to happen would mean less devastating fires. Instead we fight them and allow the underbrush to grow which adds fuel to the fires.

Jusupov posted:Got to get more pine beetles somehow, easiest way is to not burn the forest and just let it turn brown. Dead pine trees are insanely flammable though. Years ago some friends burned an old christmas tree in a tiny courtyard garden and it went up in seconds. This was obviously a stupid idea but someone poured water on it so the real problem was how do you get a soaking wet half burned christmas tree out through your flat without covering everything in poo poo. Answer: you don't.

Apparently this self-propelled saw of death they are using in our complex doesn't actually need the operator next to it to move. That seems safe. Also, I thought it was hydraulic or pneumatic, but the line to the truck is actually just water for cooling the blade. smackfu fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Aug 6, 2015 |

This guy is SO stupid and he or his company will be facing a major fine if OSHA catches him doing this. Free climbing is NOT permitted for tower workers. He might think it is because some old gray beard told him it was cool when he used to climb towers 30 years ago, but not today.

He's hooking himself in a lot. How else are you supposed to get up there?

I would guess that the correct way to do this is to have two hooks and have at least one connected at all times. Connect hook above you, climb a few steps, connect 2nd hook above you, remove the hook that's now below you, and so on.

Connect hook above you, climb a few steps, connect 2nd hook above you, remove the hook that's now below you, and so on. Or something like an ascender on a fixed wire ripe. Aside from the general insanity of being on 1700ft tower, not clipping in for the transition points where he has to haul himself around around a big flanged plate were the insane parts to me. Not clipping in every 3 feet while going up a ladder or truss? Sure. You're well supported and are making the same motions to repeating holds over and over. Not clipping in when you're searching for new grips and don't have your center of gravity close to the tower? No. Bad.
