I'm currently in hospital after getting my broken elbow fixed up, and the guy in the bed over from me keeps lighting cigarettes next to his oxygen tank and shuffling to the toilets to hide it.  At least spark up away from the flammable canister, dickhead.

Wouldn't the smell give him away? Cigarette smoke is stinky as hell, and very noticeable in places it shouldn't be.

Oh it's totally blatant and the nurses have called him out on it, he claims it's just his coat that smells. I think his family brought the tabs in last night during visiting hours. He's also called one of the nurses a 'chink bastard' for telling him to turn his TV off after midnight, and this morning he yanked a drain line out of his side and spilled some awful body fluid over the floor after ignoring the doctor telling him to stay in bed, then claimed the 'ginger oval office' didn't fit it properly in him. A charming guy all round. Platystemon posted:But oxygen isn’t flammable. A small comfort at least.

zedprime posted:To be fair, the phosgene (or the fluorine analog of phosgene) can be said of most plastics. Or more contemporary, halon/fire inhibiting extinguishers aren't immune either. Iirc one of the major selling points of Halon-1301 when it was introduced was that it didn't contain chlorine. It can still break down and form hydrogen flouride, but it requires higher temperatures than where CCl4 breaks down. Also Halon-1301 wasn't really marketed for domestic use, so you could at least hope for people being slightly more trained and risk aware around it.

starkebn posted:as someone who has worked on a loading dock, this is fantastic I once opened a scratch and dent retail store as the dock manager. Our dock was near the back right corner of the building with a narrow turn with guardrail, there was also an electrical box by that corner with posts. In order to back up to the dock you had to make the turn sharply in reverse, getting to within a foot of both the guardrail and post at the same time with the cab. Our first delivery was a SWIFT trailer, it took him over 45 minutes to back up to the dock. Me and the three guys waiting to unload were just sitting at the dock laughing the whole time. After a few months, one guy had our run consistently, he could ace the turn easily, but any time a new driver came, it was an ordeal.

It's amazing to see the amount of drivers who can't back up- I know several yard spotters who make a good amount of cash on the side just backing in trailers for OTR guys who only know how to go forward. Also amazing: drivers who drive for hours/days with no clue what they're hauling- they were just told to go somewhere and to pick up ~something~ but can't be bothered to look in the back of their trailer or on their bills to determine what before driving 600+ miles.

Fallows posted:What happened here? IIRC, the collective friction adjuster backed out while the pilot was running a checklist. The collective inched up, the helicopter got light on the skids, and the pilot tried to pick it up off the deck, but had to use so much aft pitch to not hit the superstructure of the ship that they had a tail-rotor-strike, resulting in the uncontrollable yaw. The plop onto the deck was actually really well executed, and that could have gone much, much worse. Deteriorata posted:The wily helicopter was trying to escape the hunters and their net. This is the alternative explanation.

I've seen a few helicopter videos on the back of a ship where something similar happens but they don't stick the landing and end up tipping over into the sea

Because no one would ever fly in a Sea King again if they knew the real reason was that Poseidon thinks the name is a bit presumptuous and slaps them down occasionally.
