Wait, I thought hemp was a miracle substance being kept down by Big Textiles. Once cannabis is legalized everything can be made of hemp again, and then everything would be wonderful forever. But now this thread is making me think that maybe . . . hemp bad?

Its good as a tow line because it's not elastic and when it breaks it doesn't recoil. It does, however, break an awful lot.

It's a good fiber that is very cheap and quite strong for its weight. It's completely obsolete for strength and durability in a post petro (post polymer) world, however it can replace cotton in a lot of textiles and is frequently much better in those usages. It can also replace wood pulp in paper and is much better for that than wood pulp ever was.

I have another story from MSHA from my dad. They really seem to be the worst government safety organization. A month or so ago MSHA came to the mine and made the guys remove the "on lock" button from all their drills and grinders. No big deal and now they are all in compliance. Last week MSHA came to the mine and fined them for every tool that had the "on lock" button removed for having "modified tools". Anyway, the mine had to buy all new tools and I got a kickass Milwaukee angle grinder for free.

Megabound posted:No, but I would trust a tuned, trialled and rigorously tested program. Late, but there is a whole lot more that goes into validating control laws than simply “it just werks”. Imagine if Boeing replaced all of their controls engineers with computer scientists and used the same standards to design their autopilots that Tesla did for their cars. Would you ever get in a 777 ever again?

"Regulations changed" would probably be the response. I mentioned before they fined my dads work $250 because a lid on a garbage can in a locked office was "askew".

It has it's advantages in certain areas. The thing with hemp is that weed evangelists think that hemp is some kind of secret backdoor into defacto marijuana legalization.

MikeCrotch posted:It's a good job nothing bad happens when synthetic lines break then! There was a guy killed at Disneyland decades ago because hemp rope got replaced with synthetic. The Columbia ship drifted away from its mooring (I think it was an inexperienced pilot who overshot the pier) and the rope snapped. Normally it would just break, but the synthetic line snapped and whipped a cleat into the crowd on the ship. One guy was hit directly in the skull and killed.
