I like how nonchalantly he gets out of the truck to survey the scene, as if he wasn't literal inches from becoming marinara sauce. And how normal he walks, as if he didn't have a load of poo poo in his shorts.

bitterandtwisted posted:Do extreme sports fans actually die younger than average? I mean, they tend to be very fit as well as cool, attractive and popular. Maybe the selfish ones with low life expectancy are the sadbrained fat goonlords?? "Extreme sports" is a term that covers a huge range of activities, many of which are not particularly dangerous and a very few of which are spectacularly dangerous. People are generally really really bad at assessing risk, especially differentiating between "pretty risky" and "ridiculously risky" - we tend to just mentally dump all of those things into the same "risky things" mental bucket and leave it at that. Diving out of an airplane over clear open terrain, using a parachute, is generally quite safe. Not quite as safe as playing soccer or going for a hike at your local park, but the death rates are still quite low. Diving off a cliff in order to pilot your wingsuit at extreme speeds past rugged terrain, on the other hand, is ridiculously risky. Like I don't have the numbers in front of me but I bet it's several hundred times riskier at least. Royal W posted:Well, now it's impossible for him to cheat. Yeah, nobody could possibly have sex with someone they knew is currently or perhaps just previously was married!

Might as well bring some BLEVE videos back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM0jtD_OWLU Propane tanks like to send out jets of flame as warnings before exploding. Without a pressure relief valve venting off high pressure gases in a controlled manner, the tanks would rupture due to stress much faster.

[edit] Barn fires can't melt steel tanks! 90% of material strength lost by the time the tank wall hits 700C leading to structural failure.

I was there when this happened: Both of the dudes involved died from having no skin a few days later. There was nothing left standing in the vicinity of the propane company. Their brick store was just gone. Windows across the city were blown out, and there was a disgusting thick cloud of smoke. It was like a dense fog that covered the city.

I was just at a little facility that sold commercial gases of various types anything dangerous you could possibly drive into had huge bollards protecting them. How did this place have critical valves in the path of idiot's trucks??

zedprime posted:What he's saying is the location engineering is supposed to be such that for the normal truck, there shouldn't be a physical way to strike anything easily shearable like a valve or pipe. Like someone backing up too far is guaranteed so you better make it so backing up isn't done going towards important things without a bollard in the way. Oh, I have no idea exactly what happened. I was a teenager stockboy at the grocery store across the street. I just have accounts that were shared in our small town.

Do these people think zoning laws are infringing on their freedoms or what?? counties in texas do not have the power to zone land use. cities do, and west did, but they had precisely two zones: residential and commercial, with no consideration between a dairy queen and a warehouse stocked with hundreds of tons of high explosives oh it was also across the street from the middle school and a short walk from the high school

Heck, Houston doesn't exactly pay much heed to zoning either. Part of the gridlock issue in that city is commercial businesses being opened up in residential neighborhoods due to a lack of needing a zoning permit, or at least that's my understanding.

I don't know where I heard the phrase 'Every safety regulation is written in blood' but it's really true. Just remember that every time you hear about 'job killing regulations' and think what that means about the person saying it.

Azhais posted:Unless you're talking zoning for voting purposes, then they make byzantine octopus shaped districts that only cover the republican voters Just the opposite. Gerrymandering involves giving your party a bunch of districts that you can narrowly win while giving your opponents a smaller number of districts that they’ll win by landslides. A win is a win no matter the margin. Every vote beyond 50%+1 is essentially wasted.
