That picture is showing how you can gently caress up wiring a switch and wind up with 120V between the two faceplate screws, as shown in the earlier picture of a multimeter showing 120V between two faceplate screws.

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope There was a picture months back of a three-phase plug that had a phase wire connected to the ground pin. So basically once that was plugged in the chassis would become electrified with m either 120 or 277 volts.

I once moved an office chair from my college dorm to my summer apartment using basically the same strategy. It was only a few blocks rather than on the highway though.

Sometimes I have dreams where I just roll around the city on an office chair. It's not a nightmare or anything. Welp thanks for listening to my mundane chair dream story god bless America.

Several years ago I was at a facility where there were problems with part of a medium-voltage distribution system. It turns out that a splice that should have had a proper mastic rubber packing and multiple layers of electrical tape just had two turns of electrical tape (I think that’s 600V a turn or less and this was 5kV class). The voltage basically just punched a hole through it and grounded the system. It was ungrounded delta and fortunately the problem was located and fixed. Again since it was a completely ungrounded delta there was no trip but the system did warn there was a ground fault somewhere on the bus.

My preference was to not use a pallet. Just keep your boots on the forks. That way, there's no danger in getting cocky about your balance. I did that once and the pallet shifted. Never again. Yes, there's a bit of piss running down your leg when you're looking straight up, both hands in the air, but you run out of piss pretty quickly and it's smooth sailing from there. Ah to be young and stupid, stupid, stupid again.

The lumber supporting that pickup is made of the same type of joists that can support a bathtub despite being sawn through.

But used to prank people in highschool by pointing people's sedan's rear end at stupid directions and it only took like 2 or 3 teenagers to lift up the back end far enough to swing it.

This is the 1st day they started using the high speed line as well.quote:At a Dec. 4 meeting, city leaders voiced concerns over 79-mph rail service through the city and near the major interstate, especially for people near the tracks, KOMO News reported. http://www.seattlepi.com/seattlenews/article/Mayor-Predict-Amtrak-Crashes-12438820.php

It sounds like it's the last day of the new high speed line too. I live in the region and know they have put a ton of effort into working on the tracks just north of the derailment Edit: Incidentally, there was another Amtrak derailment due to high train speeds just a bit north of this derailment. http://q13fox.com/2017/07/06/train-derailment-near-steilacoom-due-to-high-speed-human-error-amtrak-says/ Google Maps link plotting the directions between both crashes wheres my beer fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Dec 18, 2017 |
