I thought this was going to end with the waitress hammer throwing that lizard off of the balcony and I cannot stop laughing about it.

They had to re-open the gates on the Oroville Dam Main Spillway yesterday, this video starts before they do that and keeps an eye on things as they ramp up to 50,000 CFS Second half of the video is discussing what the current plan is for operations through Summer, and an update on repairs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQe0J5NLLT4

Basically they need to keep the main spillway volume at 40-50k CFS. Any higher and it will damage the rest of the lower spillway, and lower and it will cause headway erosion into the upper portion.

I am surprised they even give a poo poo about the lower part of the spillway as I would have just written it off.

I don't know why they didn't some how protect the windows, or just pre-remove all the glass if they knew they'd have to re-glaze. Or maybe they're tearing down the whole facility over stages so don't give a poo poo.

They're getting rid of it completely because it was barely used anymore (despite some attempts by people to get it registered as historical heritage), and then the company who owns it is going to see if they can use the site for sustainable energy production.

Now really sure the comparison is apt. Roller coasters get inspected every single day they operate. lovely condos do not.

chitoryu12 posted:I went to The Shooting Gallery in Orlando (right across the road from the local prison!) back in I think September 2015 to shoot some machine guns, since they're the closest place with guns to rent and they have a selection of interesting things like Thompsons and a Sten Mk. V. I went to this same range back in around 2009, I'm glad to see they have improved on their safety! I was a UK goon on holiday and went in there, all they did is ask me for my driving license and then they handed me a black plastic shopping basket to go an pick weapons to put in the basket. I took it back to the counter and the guy behind said nothing but dropped a load of ammo in the basket and pointed at the range. Guess that was all the training I needed. No supervision, no training, not even a "lol British guy, you don't use guns". I didn't die that day just a FYI.

I think the last time this was posted the conclusion was, sadly, that the nut was probably just heated up with a torch (nothing else is glowing, look at all the scorch marks around it, etc) and it's not some incredible electrical fault. Taerkar posted:
well tbf if it's a gas line there's only gas inside it, and you can't have an explosion by heating gas unless some oxygen were to get inside as well. Perfectly safe

I think when it gets to that point you should just assume that everything was done wrong.
