Jeoh posted:Why did the guy in orange run into the car's path? A good question. People are always at their most logical and forward-thinking when they're about to be mowed down by two tonnes of high-speed metal, so it's very confusing why he did what he did.

Not enough to cause a direct danger, but if more bolts break, there'll be trouble. I'm assuming those specific bolts have been installed relatively recently.

Actually he's suicidal but wanted to make it look like an accident.

i don't understand how grinding flour makes enough energy to power the windmills

It must be the evil gluten in the flour that causes all these problems.

Windmills actually do make it hotter. Wind is nature's way of balancing heat, it shifts the heat from places that are hotter to places where it is cooler. If windmills use too much wind (which is a finite resource) they will add to global warming. Well that's according to Congress.

My grandpa restores windmills and did one of these about a decade back. If it is the bolts that lock the blade panels in place then some kinds of modern lag bolts just won't cut it against the shear (?) stresses. Apparently the older construction called for wooden pins that had a bit more flex to them. In general though, all windmills require almost constant maintenance of this sort or another.

I wonder if any private corporations are interested in purchasing the CSB brand name now its being shut down. They could use it to say all their operations are CSB certified for PR and in case of lawsuits after incidents, while they are able to set what standards and requirements it says are "good enough".

The same sort of tasks the CSB does is done in parallel by insurance company funded organizations to keep a thumb on the state of the art to use when underwriting, but that's not really a process that thrives on brand recognition.

As long as the people who makes the videos still do their thing, I'd be happy. (Though stopping the avoidable industrial deaths would be a nice bonus, too)
