Oh yeah it's a good story and it was almost certainly their best option, I just am curious if anyone knows what chemical or whatever you'd ideally want to use to take your piss game to the next level.

A doctor could write a prescription for Lasix (furosemide) and have that poo poo in them within 30 minutes, it's cheap as mud and every pharmacy has landslides of it because it's such a common medication. It will make you pee your tear ducts dry and it keeps going for hours. It's used to strip excess fluid from the bodies of people with heart failure, where water can back up into the lungs and literally drown them, or into the legs and make them swell up like they just filled a wading pool with yellowjackets. This does require you to have a doctor available, and alcohol really is a very cheap and easily available diuretic, so government beer might be the quickest way to get effective diuresis. But beer ain't got poo poo on Lasix.

Nobody is mentioning how oddly appropriate it is that they burned themselves with UV lanterns while filming a vampire movie. IIRC, UV is used fairly frequently as a weapon in the movie, too.

tritium electrons are so low energy that you have to use special techniques to even detect them, like liquid scintillation if it's tritiated water because the electrons can't penetrate the water; maybe some technique exists where you can run a gas directly through a detector to measure tritium activity but I've never used or learned about anything like that

zedprime posted:Worked in uranium processing for a while, stories were back in the 70s if someone was exposed in whatever way to ingest a bunch, the first aid response as protection from heavy metal poisoning was to cut them loose for the rest of the day and tell them to buy a case of beer and take a sick day. I have a friend whose mom worked in a chemical lab behind the iron curtain in the 80s, and any time they had a whoopsie the go-to treatment was supposedly to drink a bunch of milk.

Some guy where I work is overzealous with tagging stuff out. I was laughing when I saw a bicycle with a missing wheel that he tagged out. Following procedure to the letter like that is kind of funny. I'm struggling to imagine someone attempting to operate a bicycle with a missing wheel and injuring themselves in the process. Today I saw this on a small stool ladder. damage wheels The tiny 1" wheels on the side so you can roll the ladder instead of carrying it were worn to the metal rims, so he tagged the ladder out.   As far as actual osha.jpg I dunno, here's a bonding cable rusted to the point bonding is meaningless. I never really cared about bonding cables until I saw a spark when disconnecting the cable one day. Enough static to generate sparks is very rare I'm sure, but you really don't want that spark happening when you disconnect a nozzle and jet fuel is dripping around.

Well this is not supposed to happen. When a plane pushes out it's being backed out by a tug and guided by wingmen to make sure the wings stay clear of anything. The wings are always supposed to be treated like they have a zero height clearance. You don't make judgement calls about height clearances; everything must be fully clear of the wings. Each gate has an 'envelope' that the wingmen are supposed to make sure the wing tips stay inside of when going in/out. This particular wing is going outside of the envelope, extending over a slip, then ACROSS A SERVICE ROAD, ACROSS ANOTHER SLIP WITH VEHICLES PARKED IN IT, INTO ANOTHER GATE'S ENVELOPE, AND OVER THE WING OF ANOTHER PLANE. What the picture doesn't show is that the 787 pushing out is still moving. That's right, dude didn't even stop. Wonder what that pilot had to say about that.

A 45-year-old man was killed at a recycling plant in Nara, after becoming caught in a waste grinding machine, police said Tuesday. The man was among four workers who were placing construction waste in the machine Monday morning at the plant of recycling company ITO, but after the work was completed around 4:30 p.m. the victim’s colleagues realized he was missing. When searching for the man the workers discovered body parts and fragments of his helmet in the compacted waste. The plant reported the incident to police shortly afterward. It is the third accident to have occurred at the company’s plants in about a month. On Aug. 20 a 56-year-old worker died after being crushed between a loading shovel and truck at the same plant, while on Aug 2 a 67-year-old temporary staff was killed after getting trapped in a conveyor belt at another plant in Nara Prefecture. In April 2011, another fatal conveyor belt accident occurred at the plant where Monday’s accident took place, which led a local labor standards inspection office to report the company to prosecutors on suspicion of violating the Industrial Safety and Health Act. https://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/worker-dies-after-being-caught-in-waste-grinder-at-recycling-plant Go to 1 minute in to see what probably ate the man, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kcij4-_NqY

You can briefly see a white cable just to the right of the swing set before the fire really gets going, I guess an overhead cable might have been knocked down.

http://www.arlingtoncardinal.com/20...ghts-residents/ It looks like some bushes held it in a standoff above the fence, so it seems to be power line to swingset, swingset arcing to the fence, since the fence doesn't start smoking until the camera blinding arcs start.
