Setting the logs on the rest and sliding them into the path is safer than basically throwing the log at the contraption and hoping that it doesn't spit it straight into your face. Probably wouldn't use it personally, in any case.

It's not like log splitters cost a lot. A good gas powered one can be had for a few hundred. Then again, rednecks.

I had a toenail inadvertently removed during a surgery to deal with the fact that it was massively ingrown on both sides (runners, you know what I'm talking about), and it grew back as a twisted feeble thing that occasionally pops right back off again when I take my sock off.

There's useful stickling and not so useful stickling though. When you get two or three citations for smoking near a diesel tank when the "evidence" is cig butts that are pretty obviously 4 months old and got pushed there by a snowplow, I'm not so sure it's really doing any good. But in general I have no problem with MSHA. poo poo like that isn't good, as is the tendency that I've seen where if they "like" you you're in good shape but if they get pissed at you you're totally hosed (i.e. what is really a non issue and either would have been ignored or at best they tell you to fix it and don't write any paper, turns into "I'm gonna write this same citation 14 times.")

I paid ~$900 for mine years ago. I cut and split between 7 and 10 cords of firewood per season, and what cracks me up about these guys using their "homebuilt" splitters is that it appears that they're usually splitting perfectly straight grained, knot free, relatively soft looking wood. An axe would be safer, and probably quicker since it would be like splitting styrofoam. I want to see how effective one of designs are when it's put up against a gnarly piece of 100 year old Sugar Maple where the grain runs at 90 degree angles. Regardless, no way I'd stick my hands near one of those things.

The idea is when something fucks up in a mine people don't get hurt. They die. That fire? Have fun with no more oxygen. Support structure breaks? Don't burrow into the rock just right? Have fun digging dudes out.

Unless I'm missing something physics-wise. The chopping head is probably quite heavy, and the spring is barely enough to hold it up. Give it a small assist and gravity and inertia handle the rest.

His Divine Shadow posted:Here's one that's not actually bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk-XcO7mcD0 "KLYV IV" is a pretty  nameOn the subject of being safe because it's only your sister company being shut down: I was a manager at Ameridose, a high volume compounding pharmacy who had a sister company in the next town called NECC. NECC, due to being built adjacent to a recycling plant and just by cutting corners, sent out a couple hundred doses of the injectable spinal steroid methylprednisolone contaminated with fungal meningitis. 800+ people got sick, 64 died, and NECC was closed pending investigation by the FDA and CDC. Since NECC and Ameridose had the same owners and upper management, they knew that the blood was in the water and that Ameridose would be inspected next, so they set about getting everything in order. NECC and Ameridose's biggest selling point to customers was "same day turnaround", meaning that they could have a drug order custom made and on a truck the day it was ordered by the hospital, and charged a significant premium for the service. The problem with this is that it left a maximum of 12 hours for QC to test and recall batches of drug, diluent, and other elements before it was out the door, this was "compounded" by another factor in the compounding pharmacy business model: copyrights and patents on drugs exist and are honored only while you have the ability to make them, so Ameridose would buy up all of a raw ingredient necessary to make a drug sold solely by another manufacturer, and when that other manufacturer's production lines shut down anyone with the ability to make the drug can now legally set their own price to sell it. For example, after buying all of the raw stock to manufacture the cancer drug Ondansitron, we are suddenly allowed to sell the 12¢ syringes for $15 a pop until the licensed manufacturer is able to again, pumping out 60,000 units a day that the hospitals gladly bought in a panic because of the perceived shortage in the market. They're hospitals, they can afford it. This mix of same day turnaround and frenetic production in tight windows of opportunity led to significant strain on our QC department, and some corners were cut. Our QC department was very good at catching and recalling bad batches of a drug quickly, but none of the follow-up due diligence was being done after the fact. Once the bad drug was taken off the truck, nobody was going back to to identify the root cause, like contaminated diluent, defective bags, or a tech scratching their ball rash too much. Once upper management realized that this wasn't being done and that the CDC and FDA inspectors were going to be on-site at any day, they did the only sensible thing: printed out 2 years of backdated documentation and ordered a QC tech to falsify the paperwork. She did, and immediately blew the whistle to the inspectors. The owners were arrested at their homes, and the lead pharmacist was caught at the airport trying to flee to Hong Kong. Ameridose and NECC subsequently filed for bankruptcy under the weight of the lawsuits and fines. PS: I hated the place and left a few weeks before the shitstorm hit for unrelated reasons.

I was there while they were doing the clean room expansion, with construction crews, HVAC, electricians etc dicking around while trying to run an active sterile clean room. At one point we had a line of buckets over a shelf of oxytocin bags because they didn't seal the roof around the new air handler. Edit: I forgot to mention that a prior manager tried to get rid of the birds by poisoning them, but never found the corpses.

Mithaldu posted:Who would imagine that the biggest source of WTF in various ways in a drug production company would be birds. The layout of the building made it difficult to avoid. Keeping the production floor at positive pressure only works while the doors are shut, it's kind of defeated when you have a dozen UPS and FedEx trucks come through every day. The biggest issue they had was their rapid growth in a really short time. They went from 8 to 500 plus employees in a few years, and it was a frequent issue to have a problem arise that nobody had ever encountered before, so they were essentially making up SOPs on the fly without any testing or discussion. If it didn't work you could just throw a few million bucks at it and make it go away.
