Hahaha if he didn't release he'd have smacked the mountain side 100%. You can see how he's got pitch authority but even with the nose up he's got no energy so he's basically scrubbing speed but gaining much altitude until release.KoRMaK posted:flying low. flying into a fire. suddenly losing a bunch of weight and pitching up. doing that a bunch of times a day in a high stress civilian env. eating a good lunch. etc

The only thing in a normal lab that insta burns like the movies is concentrated sulphuric. Oh, I know. It definitely doesn't burn on contact. What it does do, instead, is make soap out of your greasy, oily human bits. Which then washes away in the water you're rinsing the glassware in. Leaving you less of a person (by weight) than when you came in in the morning. (The slippery feeling on my hands was just enough for the "welp, I guess I'm the OSHA now!" moment, I didn't actually lose any fingerprints) Bubblyblubber fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Feb 7, 2017 |

I know a number of chemists who have used dilute NaOH to clean their hands for years. "Why wash off dirt, when you can wash off the dirty skin?" EDIT: I should point out that they don't do it every day, of course. Just when their hands are stained and they can't be bothered scrubbing

I volunteer with a water quality monitoring organization. I didn't think it was possible to hurt yourself in our lab (unless you drank the really e.coli heavy samples after they had been in the oven all night).But one of the newer interns proved me wrong by giving herself a wicked sunburn with the UV lamp we use for e.coli testings.

This was was really hosed up. That particular C-130 was a previously a CIA recon aircraft and as a result of its secret activities its maintenance logs were really incomplete. It could have had anywhere from 3000 to 30,000 flight hours, and while the USAF did a SLEP on its A-models in the early 1980s, it's possible that this aircraft didn't go through that. It should never have been transferred out of the boneyard.

Bubblyblubber posted:At least fingerprints grow back eventually. Even after second degree thermal burns, though it takes the better part of a year. PROTIP: If you're trying to transfer a smoking, recently-on-fire toaster oven from a high school classroom outside through the window, because it's -20 outside and you don't want to be partly responsible for having the school evacuated, DO NOT TOUCH THE TOP SURFACE BECAUSE IT IS METAL AND ALSO VERY HOT. But the school didn't get evacuated, and I was able to plunge my hands into the same snowbank that put the toaster fire out. Didn't even have to see the nurse for an ice pack! Made my web programming job hell for a few days, though, and there's at least one background check where I flat out don't have discernible thumbprints.

I worked at a small company for a while that had a joint development agreement with a billion plus dollar company. We were developing a product for them that was a little outside their usual product line, and they were paying us for that development. The guy at that big company who was our internal champion retired, and then we had a speed bump in development. The retiree's replacement wasn't invested in our program, and suspended it. They promptly forgot about it. That was 10 years ago. The comedy bit is that they paid us a chunk of money and about a million dollars of it sits on that small company's books due to arcane accounting rules. They can't recognize the revenue because the program is suspended, but they can't call up the bigger company and ask for a cancellation because then they'll want that money back. And if they did want to restart, no one on that project is still at the small company. Not OSHA but relevant to the engineering archeology idea.

KoRMaK posted:flying low. flying into a fire. suddenly losing a bunch of weight and pitching up. Compounded by the fact that it's a 30 - 40 year old airplane. The DC-10 was around when my parents were children. The STOPPED making them when I was 2. That was almost 30 years ago. Aren't most firefighting aircraft donated, out of maintenance, 40+ year old pieces of poo poo?

Bacon Taco posted:I worked at a small company for a while that had a joint development agreement with a billion plus dollar company. We were developing a product for them that was a little outside their usual product line, and they were paying us for that development. I work for a place that does crane operator certification, and we had a customer once ask us about our Lattice Boom certification and when we changed it from being divided into two categories by tonnage to having no divisions at all. We were rather perplexed, since we had never divided it by tonnage in the first place. It turns out that a now-gone executive director had started telling people that it was divided into two categories based on crane tonnage after talking about maybe doing it with the CEO (which never ended up going anywhere), and several years later people still thought that the status quo for 8 years was actually a sudden change that nobody was told about. They seriously didn't remember that they never did it that way. We've also had to do our own "archaeology" because of a string of longtime employees leaving after a decade or more of full time work and discovering that they kept a lot of vital components of the job in their heads the whole time and occasionally violated procedures or changed numbers around based on what they felt like that day.

We had a new gm come in recently and decide that he was going to be big boss man and insulate his position with his people. He did this by immediately turning over most of the office staff- most notably all of payroll... right before tax time. This led to the sales people having their complex commission schedules hosed with and leading to at least two of them out right quitting on the spot when quarterly bonuses were late then half of what was expected. It also let to no one getting proper holiday pay over the holidays. Now, they're trying to deny a pay raise to a guy that got a new cert, despite the CBA being crystal clear on that particular point. We deal with it believe 3 different union agreements, all with their own nuance, as well as a couple dozen different, non-union office positions. Everyone (that's being paid) is loyal to him though, so I guess it's worth losing a ton of institutional knowledge, a bunch of customers, and pissing off a bunch of very specialised tradesmen.

Bubblyblubber posted:Last Friday I was very careful to wear gloves while mixing a 2M solution of sodium hidroxide, and everything went ok. This reminded me of an OSHA moment from my past. All through High School, and the first part of college, I worked in a bakery that made bread, pizza crusts, and soft pretzels. When we did a run of soft pretzels, we did at least 5,000 at a time. Anyway, most of the work was manual at the time, and it included stringing 24 frozen soft pretzel (in dough form) on a wooden dowel, immersing them in a boiling bath of Sodium Hydroxide, and arranging them on giant Teflon cooking sheets ready for the oven. I don't quite remember the concentration of the NaOH, but it was strong. It was used to impart that "pretzel taste", and golden color to the baked pretzels. We used heavy duty (i.e. chemical resistant) rubber gloves for the immersion process. I was in the midst of a rush order of 10,000 pretzels when I ripped, what seemed like, an insignificant chunk of rubber off my right glove on some piece of equipment -- right by my wrist. As I continued to work, I felt that portion of my arm start to become wet, and sting a bit, but, since it was a rush order, me and my two co-workers continued on. By the end of the order, when the last pretzels were loaded into the oven, we decided to take a break. When I pulled my gloves off, I was horrified to see that the top couple of layers of skin right around my wrist were apparently in the glove. It was a sort of chuckhole about 1.5 inches across. No bleeding, and no pain at all, but the smell was nasty. Sort of like hair burning in a hair dryer or something. It took quite a while to heal, and I still have a slight scar there.

zedprime posted:but at that point its basically drying you out to get the water it needs to get its protons interested in moving somewhere else. About 95%+ is when it turns into movie acid. Fun fact: movie "acid" is not acid at all, but usually just a strong solvent poured onto a plastic surface made to look like metal/wood/flesh/etc. For instance, in Aliens, the effect of the xenomorph blood melting through the floor is the result of dripping green-dyed acetone onto gray polystyrene "deck panels."
