Without seeing said videos I agree that sounds funny as gently caress, link?Cop Porn Popper posted:A little rubber and you'd have a pretty decent oil seal with that. Wanna see how they turned that massive thing on that lathe. I'm sure its equally I was wondering how accurate you could make a thing with that sort of process, but yea running it through a lathe fixes any issues I imagine.

I don't think it's actually that much of a safety nightmare by the standards of large-scale steelworking generally. None of them ever got in a position where the work piece or hammer could fall on them, the dudes nearby had face shields to protect them from scale - apart from being outdoors you'd have seen that sort of thing in any steel mill anywhere in the world right up to the 80s. For me the most impressive thing is how little communication needs to happen - dudes have all obviously been doing this for a while. Working outside is a bit weird though, rain probably makes things a lot less safe.

24-yo Svetlana Roslina died in a candy factory near Moscow after falling in a vat of melted chocolate. You might think she drowned. Nope, she was minced by the mixer machinery. Supposedly only her legs remained.

More stuff from the airport. Previously I talked about how my tanker went up in flames because the engine overheated. I submitted that tanker's last inspection form just 2 days prior; noting the master warning sound going off constantly and the inop. dashboard (among many other issues, but those warning indicators were the reasons no one could know when there was an actual mechanical problem that needed addressing.) Since we were down to 1 tanker, we started causing delays on busy days. Then my company bought a new tanker. Yep, rather than fixing their poo poo they decided to wait until it caught on fire and created an emergency, then bought a brand new one to replace it. Good business strategy!  We also use hydrant carts for big flights. The carts pump jet fuel out of a system in the ground, so they are better for large loads. The hydrant carts are small things you pull around with tugs the same as baggage guys pulls around luggage. We have 4 carts but we only have 1 tug (and the headlights don't work.) So we always steal tugs from baggage guys at our company because well, we have to fuel the loving planes. Doesn't matter if baggage gets slowed down a little, planes need fuel even if it only takes 1 person to do that job. Baggage gets angry at us, we get angry at them, like c'mon just one tug to fuel all these planes you guys have like 15 of them. Anyways those baggage guys are in the same boat as us fuelers. Some of their tugs have no brakes. Literally positioning around multimiliion dollar jetliners with no brakes. Today one of the baggage guys angrily grabbed one of our(their) tugs and drove off, but he forgot to check if it was one that didn't have brakes (we generally take the shittiest tugs in the hopes they'll let us keep them for the day.) He drives up to a security checkpoint but hadn't tried his brakes out yet and didn't realize that they simply did nothing. Unable to stop, he slowly plowed through the security checkpoint bar. A ticket was issued which means my company gets fined a whopping $100. $100 for failing to maintain equipment resulting in an accident. I have personally informed everyone in management up to the big boss about the tug situation (both ours and the baggers) verbally and in writing citing the specific tug numbers with no brakes, no headlights, etc. These motherfuckers knew full well beforehand but I can be drat sure they are claiming it was a sudden and unexpected equipment failure. They did the same poo poo when my tanker went up, claimed it was a wire sparking even though that's impossible since diesel doesn't combust like that until you have extreme overheating. Also today, being super busy because weather cancelled a shitload of flights yesterday and it's holiday season with domestic flights. My lazy rear end lead had to do actual work, so when he asked me if I could stay for the last flight I told him sure as long as he fills his tanker up before he leaves. He didn't top his tanker off, and as he was about to leave early he realized I didn't have enough time to top off and do the next flight so instead he parks the tanker next to me and tells me after I finish my current flight to just hook the hydrant cart up to the tanker and pump fuel from the fuel pit into the tanker. Oh and just attach the bonding cables of the tanker and the cart to each other, it'll be fine. This is a bad idea and I will tell you why. When we fill the tanker at the fuel station there are 2 different safety systems that make sure the fuel stops when the tanker is full. If I just start pumping jet fuel into the tanker there is nothing to stop pressurized jet fuel from spewing out the back as soon as the tanker is full. I decided to just do the flight with what fuel the tanker had and it was enough, then filled the tanker for the morning crew afterwards. Didn't want to get a ticket from the fire marshall doing some stupid poo poo in plain sight, and if I had run out and delayed the flight then hey sure let's talk about who didn't do what here that caused this delay. I told my duty manager what I was asked to do and he was like "yeah, don't do that." See no one gets fired at this company for anything, it just doesn't happen. But on the plus side you can work as much overtime and doubletime as you want. They'll just pay you for all of it. I know guys who do 17-18 hour days on the regular, like 6 AM to midnight.

Guyver posted:Forging makes parts a lot stronger at a lower weight and molds wear out over time. With steel, using permanent molds is trickier, since its melting point that there aren't a lot of suitable materials to make molds from that will also last long enough to be worthwhile. Cast iron and steel are generally done with sand molds.

Guyver posted:Forging makes parts a lot stronger at a lower weight and molds wear out over time. More particularly because metal doesn't cool uniformly internal stresses build up as it solidifies. Forging both relieves those stresses to an extent, it lines them up in a particular way, so in that part they're all going to be concentric, so it'll be strong against forces pushing tangentially (i.e. towards or away from the centre). Assuming it's a pressure seal or a wheel that's where all of the forces are going to be acting so you can get away with a lot less material for the same useful strength.

Something like this happened to my brother few years ago. Walked backwards from an apartment door (while drunk), flipped over the rail, fell from the 5th floor but was caught by the rail in the 3rd. Spend few days in hospital for bruising his head, but drat was he lucky.

VectorSigma posted:"use in well ventilated area" doesn't really portray the danger properly, but "if you breathe this poison gas you might die" just hurt sales But if this story gets out that might also hurt sales! So now the company has to make a difficult decision about whether to start warning people about the dangers they've known about all along or whether to continue keeping quiet about them. A painful and troubling decision that companies have been struggling with for a long, long time. quote:On December 8, 1969, four-year-old Lee Ann Gryc was severely burned when her cotton flannelette pajama top ignited as she leaned over an electric stove. Evidence showed that the flannelette manufacturer knew as early as 1956 that the fabric was flammable and posed a serious threat. At trial, the company argued that it could not warn consumers about the material’s flammability because such a warning would “stigmatize” its product and hurt sales. After this case, the product was removed from the market. quote:In November 1959, a 14-month old baby died from ingesting Old English Red Oil Furniture Polish. At trial, the child’s mother testified that the label, which said that the product might be harmful to children, was placed eight lines under the directions, in brown ink and measured only 1/32 of an inch in height. Moreover, experts testified that the warning was misleading because it did not indicate that ingestion would cause death. After trial, the product’s warning label was changed to read: “DANGER. HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. COMBUSTIBLE. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. SAFETY CAP. "Yeah we knew people would be horribly injured but we had sales quotas to meet, so whaddya gonna do?"

CO2 inhalation feels scary as hell. I've had it happen a few times. I've had to open up fermenters to add either fertilizer or antibiotics to them. The only reaction I've ever had to CO2 is dizziness and terror. I'd hate to die that way since it was a panic attack.
