Raskolnikov38 posted:what apocalypse is going to be survivable with two feet of dirt and some sheet metal over your head First his roof has to survive two feet of dirt. . . which is questionable. Also I did not see any drainage channels, pipes, hoses, or drains, so unless he's going to install a sump pump that pumps all that English rain up, and away from his bunker, he's going to find that it is going to float up through that measly 2 feet of dirt like an empty septic tank. Also straight up sheet metal is going to rust pretty fast in the ground, and at no point did I see any sort of coating or sealing compound applied to the bottom plate, so it's too late for that. Even cement blocks usually either get a waterproof adhesive membrane or tar applied to the outside to prevent moister from coming through and to prevent block degradation. Then again, I'm pretty sure she doesn't care if it lasts 5 years or 50 years, as it's being paid for by someone else. Another issue is going to be the side pressure from the cement they are talking about pouring. Unless they're only pouring a few inches a day, there will be tremendous forces pushing on on those laughably flimsy walls, and if they try and go for a 1-4 pour job, they will watch all the walls collapse and the roof rupture like a pop can being squeezed in a vice. If they do manage to pour the walls and they don't cave in, the roof is going to be another interesting mess. The weight of a single concrete pour is not going to happen the way it is supported now. Multiple pours are not going to give the strength that they will need to keep the roof from caving in, so I figure they are either going to add another layer of support to the roof, do an arch with bricks/concrete slabs, or more likely dump the dirt back on top and watch the roof go from concave to convex.

True. I amend my previous statement to say that there is not a country wide ban, but individual jurisdictions can apply more stringent weapons restrictions if they choose.

Cat Hatter posted:A knife that can be opened by flicking the wrist (more centripetal force than gravity). They (and assisted opening knives, where you push the blade open a little bit and a spring opens it the rest of the way) are legal in the U.S. because they don't have a button do the work for you. NYC actually has a ban from like the 60s on gravity knives which cops are currently using as an excuse to arrest anyone (read minorities) with a knife on them regardless of what kind of knife it actually is

I guess like all things in the great US of A, it depends on your melanin level and/or bank account balance.

The NYPD breaks the mechanism on your knife after they arrest you for standing on a street corner, and then claim that they arrested you for suspicious activity and charge you with owning a gravity knife.

A knife that was legal when sold becoming illegal due to wear and tear. Another good reason for PM I guess. Also, you can buy these knifes in the store then be arrested for carrying it out the door. Never trust your vendor to do regulatory compliance for you, unless it's contracted. (These knifes are often work requirements for theater techs etc and thus is vaguely OSHA)

Budgie posted:https://i.imgur.com/V1bFWYl.webm I did something similar when I worked at pizza hut in my teens. We had one of those conveyer belt ovens and there's a lip on the end so the pizza pan doesn't fall onto the floor once it exits the oven. I was pulling the pan off the belt using a gripping tool and didn't raise it enough to get clearance from the lip as I removed it from the belt. The pan edge hit the lip and I lost my grip, and my first instinct was "save the pizza". So I grabbed onto the 400 degree pan with my bare hands. I immediately let go afterwards and at least I didn't get scalding sauce and cheese on my skin.

G-III posted:CSB just put up a new video on youtube. God I love these things: At least it wasn't Phosgene this time. Remind me never to work at DuPont.  From a process standpoint, my understanding is that equipment or system startups and shutdowns are some of the most dangerous times for a plant, as far as potential for things to go seriously wrong go. Anything abnormal during the startup makes things even more dangerous. Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Oct 1, 2015 |

Overwined posted:It seems like a common theme among CSB videos that some poo poo is broken and has been broken so long that operators regularly ignore alarms. I've been through some major alarm management stuff. It's pretty wild. For a big plant you may have something like 50,000 different "points" in a SCADA system (each point represents something, like a pressure, temperature, setpoint, on/off status, or a command). And then you have thousands of points that have alarms associated with them. If you have an analog measurement you may have several separate levels of alarms (alert, alarm, trip). You're talking about nuisance alarms - that is something we're striving to identify and eliminate. They have software now that looks at and analyzes all the alarms in a plant. You may have 10,000 points that can cause alarms, but 90% of the alarms in the plant are from a handful of bad actors. It's a good low-hanging fruit to start from. I've heard of plants where they've had sitting alarms for months and years. The operators just say "Oh yeah, that sensor has been bad for months now. Just ignore that alarm." I wish I had that first clip from control room scene in "The China Syndrome" where they think the core water level is too high, until the guy taps the little recording indicator that was stuck and they realize to their complete horror the core is running dangerously low on water.

I love the videos but I also hate that their reports and recommendations on new policies are pretty much entirely ignored. Hell, having to put up more warning paint and a new manual would be an improvement over what happens now.

The CSB is a relatively newer thing, the fact that we have any governmental organization mandated to make those kinds of recommendations is actually huge. It has worked too, there have been a few emergency changes made to standards due to CSB action.
