The best part is he is holding the flammable liquid in that cup in his hand and when he goes to extinguish the flames with his armpit he ends up spilling it all over his shirt, cementing his impending doom.

It took me a second to realize that the cup in his other hand is full of accelerant and he splashes it all over himself. That probably ended poorly.

We've been lucky to get OSHA to put a deadline of November 2017 for demanding crane operator certification. They wanted to do it back in 2014, but added a 3 year extension to let everyone get certified.

We still had one candidate last week claim he would just give up on us and work without certification because he thought it was too expensive to recertify. It cost him around $200 or so every 5 years. If we're lucky, any potential employers will see the writing on the wall and deny him before he hurts someone.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

The right kind of snow will cling to a metal roof no problem though, unless it's really steep.

e: Cool story though.

My dad put a steel roof on my childhood house some years ago. He still has to shovel it sometimes. He went off it rear end-over-tit a couple of years ago. The snow was deep so the only thing hurt was his pride. Steel roofs are great but they suck to try to walk on. No traction.

But still, there's nothing wrong with having a 100 year roof.

...I would treat that system like it's dangerous until proven otherwise.

I just realized that we had a good OSHA moment today at work with wiring. We had a lamp that would flicker in one room when a machine was used in the other. The overhead florescents would also flicker which makes no sense. An electrician for the building came in and spent an hour yelling at his apprentice for his idiocy while he fixed it.

That circuit included our lobby, a treatment room, the overhead lights, and THE loving ELEVATOR in the common area. It should have tripped the breaker but it somehow didn't. I assume it was powering the controls of the elevator as there's no way that a hydraulic elevator runs off 110v.

I don't know how he hosed it up that bad. I don't even know how it's possible. Then again, my grandfather wired a 110v circuit to put out a consistent 23.5v for no good reason. He's dead now so I can't ask. I just found it the other day with my multi-meter.

Except it's wired to a regular plug to the right of the stove. The house has no doorbell but maybe he had plans for one. He would have wired it in the 50's.

Electric clock? Some of them ran on that voltage. In particular, master-slave clocks often ran at 24DC. Would he have had access to office/factory salvage?

Kinda impressed with that reactor, that video of the crane was a replacement done in Jan. 2013 and they got the operating license and turned on less than 1 month ago. After replacing the worst part (I would assume) there was almost 4 years of the other replacements and testing to be licensed. That thing must be so far beyond "safe." Does the fact that it is brand new compared to the 50 year old reactors actually show in it's output or performance or is that something that will takes years to show up that it is more efficient?

One of the very few places I don't really mind seeing a huge american flag hung up. Good poo poo.

Sequoyah was built and licensed back in the early 80s, 81 and 82 for units 1 and 2 respectively. The construction was to replace the existing steam generators with new ones, usually this is part of an uprate. Steam generators don't last forever and they wear out before the reactor itself will so you have to replace them. Turbines are the same way. When you take 35 year old reactors and put in modern steam generators/turbines you often get better efficiencies because we've gotten better at building those things in the past several decades. This means you can squeeze more power out of the reactor and is one of the only ways to increase the power output of a reactor. The license for these plants was extended in 2015, which I assume was when the NRC reviewed and approved the plant post uprate. Still, it's an impressive piece of work.

The new one that you are thinking of is probably Watts Bar #2, the first new reactor to come online in the US in 20 years. It's a reactor that actually began construction in the 70s but was mothballed and then they decided to finish it, which saved them a lot of time on things like site evaluation. From start to finish that reactor took 42 years to complete :v: At 1,150 MWe it will power something like 650,000 homes. Watts Bar 2 was actually fully loaded with fuel in December of 2015, it took until October 2016 to get a full power operating license. The NRC actually has teeth and is probably more risk averse than OSHA is. People go to jail for violating NRC applications. I nearly ate an $8,000 dollar fine from them one time due to a paperwork error.

I worked on the latter. I had no idea what I was doing, so i ended up designing a website to help with the construction process.

This was being discussed on like page 50 or something but I'd like to say that when I worked at Walgreens, we didn't have ladders to get things off the top shelf in the storage room. They just picked whoever looked physically capable of climbing up the side but light enough to not fall through the plywood shelving. They'd make me climb up about fifteen feet high to throw the stuff stored up there down to someone else (usually stuff like toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) I constantly thought about just "falling" off and suing the gently caress out of them but A) What if I get hurt worse than I want, and B) I liked my managers

e: I'm totally estimating the height. I'm 6'1 and couldn't touch it when I jumped though.
