wolrah posted:I always have to wonder with the pot stats how it is they're testing. Most common tests look for metabolites which get absorbed in body fat and thus can stick around for a long time after the high is over, we're talking weeks to months for some people, where tests for most other recreational drugs look for things that are out of the body relatively quickly, in the range of hours in a lot of cases. Someone who only smokes weed on the weekend will still be flagged by most tests where someone who starts the day with an Irish coffee will be clean by the afternoon. Heroin sticks around a bit longer but is still mostly gone by the next day. Amphetamines are detectable for a day or two. I would imagine that in these cases, where criminal charges can be laid, they do GCMS which can distinguish between metabolites and active THC. The dip tests that are used by employers aren't admissable in court.

Sweden = swab, norway = blood. e: For right after said accident testing. I know some people have gotten paid leave days after to go leave blood tests in both countries for more extensive tests.

I was looking for high-speed footage of car suspension being exercised on a test stand, but I found this instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qgyGAJkvWY Now I'm looking for a thermal camera view of something similar just to see how hot the springs get.

I don't think springs really heat up though? I thought metals only started getting hot once they're stretched past their elastic limit. Maybe you're thinking of shock absorber oil?

Train crash in Hoboken, 3 dead, over 100 seriously injured Looks like it just ran through a red light into the station. Maybe a brake problem like the 1988 Gare de Lyon crash? MikeCrotch fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Sep 29, 2016 |

The energy has to go somewhere. It likely doesn't make a significant difference assuming the springs are appropriately sized for the application but they definitely heat up.

Springs store energy, they do not consume it. The energy goes into the spring and then comes back out when it rebounds. I mean, there's some loss due to the laws of thermodynamics applying to all things, but you get almost all of it back. Shocks on the other hand, not so much.

So my Dad is a retired road foreman for Amtrak and the last time he was in town was showing me some unpublished videos of accidents captured by onboard cameras (this was back in like 2012). One that really stood out was a train with Genesis locomotives hitting a tractor trailer and then derailing and ramming into some sort of DoD/Defense contractor facility with a ton of Bradleys and Abrams at about 80 MPH. It looked pretty intense but I can't for the life of me recall any news articles or videos of the incident. Does that ring any bells for anybody?

I caught something in the rumor mill, that a train (union pacific?) struck a woman (in california?) and the camera footage (allegedly) shows the engineer asleep in the conductors chair, and the conductor babysitting the LEADER/Optimzer auto throttle while playing a game on his cellphone. Anyone heard anything even remotely like this?

its just political hay. this wasnt too far from that amtrak train derailment a couple of months ago. totally different tracks but 99.99% of people wouldn't know the difference. in either case, its almost certainly something stupid. someone didnt line a switch or obey a signal or something was broken and people get hurt/poo poo gets damaged.

Well that's certainly caused a mess: http://www.newshub.co.nz/nznews/kaikoura-rail-line-decimated-2016111413 That rail line and the road next to it are the only (land) way in and out Kaikoura which would be a particularly sucky place to get stuck.

 Wonder if it was signed saying that trucks would get caught on it, because moving trucks usually have that lower bottom on it.

I got stuck in the aftershock of that fiasco. Moving trucks regularly get stuck at that intersection. About once every other year. I want to say about 4 years ago they had 2 stuck within a month of each other, but they got them off the tracks before the train came. They updated the signs after that. It's right next to a really great park, hence the video. Even if he saw the signs there isn't a last chance turnaround anyways. edit: ^ they have that sign too, I think. There are a lot of signs that say no trucks.
