Dienes posted:I really, really want to know what that looked like healed up. Probably like an irregularly shaped burn scar? If you "print" on the outermost layer of skin, that would fall off. Tattoos are done in the dermis as opposed to the epidermis for this very reason. Burns to the epidermis are also crazy prone to infection, which means he might end up with a really ugly burn scar and also possibly sepsis.

dsf posted:At the truck shop I work at we get lots of calls to "fix" these computer log systems for one of our main customers. 90% of the time the issue is due to the CPU mysteriously unplugging itself. I'm in charge of getting ELDs implemented for our company and we see the lot of the same. Also a couple of notes on electronic logging: •Per the ELD (Electronic Logging Device) mandate every driver must have a unique unshared ID which displays their name. At a traffic stop officers will be comparing that with the driver's ID, and are empowered to place the driver OOS or arrest if there is a mismatch. So "using someone else's ID" is a bad idea. Back office edits are highlighted and tied to the userID who made the change, and the driver will be required to approve changes. Drivers are no longer allowed to have admin access, allowing them to make changes after the fact. •All drivers currently required to maintain RODS (over 100 air miles [or 115.08 land miles] etc) will be required to elog with the exception of drivers of vehicles made before 2000, or tow operators. •Nobody in the industry knows how temp/rental trucks will be compliant, since there are hundreds of separate ELD manufacturers operating with different communication standards. The ELD must have a physical link the the vehicle's ECU. This is a problem that Penske and Ryder are working to resolve ASAP. •Non-exempt drivers in newer vehicles will be allowed to log on paper for a maximum of 8 days in a 30 day period, and only if the ELD is visibly out of service. At this time 3rd party vendors are averaging 2+ weeks turnaround in getting the devices fixed, and this will probably increase as the December 18th ELD mandate gets closer and carriers come to realize that the on-board computers in their trucks have been used to hold lunchboxes for the last 2 years and 1/3 of their fleets' ELDs are out of service.

Late to finger chat but one of my cousins put his hand through a bandsaw, cutting off all five digits. I'm fuzzy on the details but they couldn't save the thumb so they replaced that with his index finger, put the others back and they all seem to work pretty good now.

They log distance travelled as well as elapsed time between points for average speed. In alberta all we have here are plate readers on 3 of the major highways right outside of scale houses that are always open anyways. https://goo.gl/maps/cMAt6FZ2rGH2, and they only get the front plate. In the mid-size scales i don't think they even had plate readers. There are no speed cameras outside of towns/cities. The speed limit for trucks is the same 110kph posted, keep up with traffic practical limits. Some private oilfield roads had truck-specific limits, but they were often higher than you're capable of going on them anyways, roads so narrow you have to call out your mileage and direction so you don't meet other trucks on a bend, made of mud, ice, washboard, or hilarious combinations thereof. Unless you do something monumentally stupid, it's almost hard to even get noticed.

I'm fuzzy on the details but they couldn't save the thumb so they replaced that with his index finger, put the others back and they all seem to work pretty good now. My dad was once working on a conveyor belt when the guy who was helping him accidentally leaned on the end of it, pulling the belt and rotating the chain my dad's hand was in, cutting off two fingers and chewing another two pretty badly on the sprocket. His mate saw all the blood and promptly fainted, so my dad phoned the ambulance and took the rest of the drive system apart to retrieve his fingers while he waited. Amazingly they manged to reattach and repair them so apart from some numbness and minor loss of motion (and some awesome scars) he was fine afterwards. Oh yeah, the thing he was working on? The emergency stop on the belt system kept triggering so he'd decided to remove it. He never did understand why I laughed at that bit of the story...

In a "manure* processing plant" next to a village in Belgium, a nitric acid storage tank got breached. * Not sure if I should translate the word as manure or fertilizer.  The only good thing about nitric acid is that the cloud is exactly as toxic and dangerous as it looks.

This feels like a good time to plug Command and Control to anyone who hasn't read it yet. Being clearly shown nuclear weapons and the complex around them as a collection of falliable machinery, processes and systems all built by average mortals is deeply sobering.

The book was indeed great. Having loved the book, I was less than impressed with the recently-released eponymous documentary. I think the main story of the book works better and is more suspenseful as it was written than it was on the screen.
