I guess it's pretty slim pickings for Finnish celebrities to put into commercials after Kimi Raikkonen and the dudesons.

Lime Tonics posted:Idiot tries to prove something? For the billionth time and I don't care that I've said it before. A spinning shaft is terrifying. A scared dog, a Tyrannosaurs Rex, a storm at sea, a moonless night, the anger of a gentle man, the horror of a child having fallen from the back of a truck on the highway, 400v with both hands touching and you're not isolated, 2,000lbs of ANFO blowing up, etc. None of these are anything like the fear of a spinning shaft. Yes, I copped a couple of lines but, as my grandpa and father always said: "respect a spinning shaft." I don't care if you crush your hand in a press, I don't care if you cut your hand in a water cutter, I don't care if you carelessly lose a toe from a 1,000lb drop, your lost thumb from a saw is fine. However: Don't get near a spinning shaft. I don't care that I always say it. I'll keep saying it. I'll tell you again tomorrow when I check the thread. My father and my grandfather never stopped saying it. Don't get near a spinning shaft. My ring hand got clicked on lathe once, only once. I never wore a ring again at a lathe. I have told this story before and don't care if you've seen it. But it's important and should be endlessly repeated.

My dad bought a radial arm saw when I was a kid and he told me the arm part of the name was what it would remove if I wasn't careful.

violent sex idiot posted:the design philosophy for busses i believe is that whatever else you are going to hit probably has less people in it so you use them as your crumple zone They build buses with a rigid frame with the expectation that they are a) slow moving and b) way heavier than 95% of everything else on the road. That way when they do crash into a car, they don't deform much and because they have several times the mass, the actual g force to the passengers isn't that great. It's when they hit things with more mass than the bus, like trees, walls, trains etc, that they have serious problems. mostlygray posted:My ring hand got clicked on lathe once, only once. I never wore a ring again at a lathe. I have told this story before and don't care if you've seen it. But it's important and should be endlessly repeated. Uggghhh there's basically only two scenarios that wearing a ring can gently caress you up in a shop, and they are both horrifying. The first is what could have happened to you, getting caught on something and then degloving or totally removing the finger. And the other is that it conducts enough heat/electricity that it causes serious burns and can't be removed easily/quickly. When I first got into trades, one of my instructors told me about a guy who lost a finger because he was wearing a ring and reflexively grabbed a wrench that had fallen across the posts on a 12V battery. The ring melted instantly from the heat and fused down to the bone. My ring goes into my toolbox in the morning and back on after I'm done washing up at the end of the day (because I'm worried about the pumice in our hand cleaner eroding the soft metal prematurely).

Cumslut1895 posted:plus even minor burns that form a complete circle around a finger can cause necrosis and fingat loss Wow, is that really a thing? I knew girdling/ring-barking with trees will kill off anything above the wound! Now I have a new thing to worry about at work. Watched a guy get his finger de-gloved on a highwire course in basic training back when I was younger and I thought that would be the worst. But slowly killing off the flesh? Nope.jpg

Nope.jpg That will only work on some trees, palm trees are notably able to survive ring barking. It has to do with how the internal structure of the tree is laid out. In some trees the xylem is only around the outer layer of the tree (the xylem carries nutrients and water up to the leaves) so ring barking the tree cuts the xylem and starves anything above the ring. Palm trees (and others) that have different xylem layouts will survive. But now I'm super anxious about my tungsten carbide wedding band.

It wasn't about any 'killing the soul of the tree' stuff, just I like the trees and free coconuts. OSHA right there. Laying under a coconut tree asleep as I one day get cracked on the noggin by a coconut falling!

Nope: turns out hammers do remove tungsten carbide handily, and other than the sintering alloys possibly being toxic your ring is no more hazardous than any other.

Vice grips also work, and are safer than hammers. Tungsten carbide (sintered in a cobalt matrix, as it always is) is hard but brittle. Squeeze the ring a little and it’ll snap in two.

Collateral Damage posted:As long as your hammock isn't wrapped around the trees using steel wire or anything else that will saw its way into the bark you'll be fine even if they weren't palm trees. Use wide flat straps: I think Humphreys' bigger worry was getting cracked on the noggin while sleeping from a coconut and becoming dead.

We had an incident many years ago in Australia where a drugged up piece of poo poo footballer got kicked out of a nightclub one night and drove drunk and drugged along the road at insane speeds until he went right up the back of a truck and had his head taken off. Naturally it was the truck's fault, because footballers are blameless princesses. But it did mean that we finally got legislation on proper rear impact guards which would actually stop cars from going straight under the back of a truck in a crash. So, two good things came out of that night.

Fatality 2/8/2016 Worker fatally crushed underneath forklift. Fatality 2/2/2016 Worker fatally shot by former co-worker. Fatality 1/22/2016 Worker stuck and killed by falling cart. Fatality 11/10/2015 Worker killed in trench collapse. Fatality 10/27/2015 Worker died after being pulled into machine by rollers. Fatality OSHA listed fatalities from the past year in my state. Apparently OSHA gets involved when a former co-worker shoots you on the job. The chlorine gas one sounds interesting - better to be asphyxiated to death than to survive that although surviving chlorine is probably impossible.
