Cthulu Carl posted:Why is she not surprised before the cut then surprised after? She looks frustrated by the truck, and it's probably pretty easy to just think "oh, I can't believe someone's driving on the track". It might not even be the first time they've seen it happen. What might be more surprising is that the truck's load is uncommonly tall, and tall enough to take down their finish line, which is an important part of a race.

See, I would think the point of worry would be "Oh poo poo, a big rear end truck is barreling through the bicycle race course immediately behind a group of racers" and not "Oh no, the inflatable!" Then again, I'm not Australian and have trouble fathoming the antipodean mind.

My stepuncle was competing in a triathlon, and was so far out ahead of the swim portion that when he started the bike portion the course personnel didn't think anyone was biking yet, and let a truck onto the course. So uncle's going down around a curve, head down, checking his speed, and looks up just in time to see a truck grille in his face. One of his legs actually shattered the bike frame. They airlifted him to the hospital and everything turned out okay, but yeesh.

In the news link I posted earlier the video runs for slightly longer and you can see that there was a second truck behind the one that took down the inflatable.

would duct tape be alright to use to wrap a joint between two 20ga wires being used for a single 5 volt arcade game switch? I'm useless at electric stuff and i'm wondering if i should wait for the hardware stores to open tomorrow or not

Just use some Scotch tape. Tape is tape. And film it for this thread to use later.

If you want to get your arcade setup working for the night the chances that it goes wrong in any meaningful way are basically zero. When I was younger and dumber I went through three cars with my aftermarket stereo installed on a duct taped together harness. It's not by any means correct though and anyone who sees it will laugh at you and you will deserve it.

I'm useless at electric stuff and i'm wondering if i should wait for the hardware stores to open tomorrow or not It's probably fine (as in, it won't short-circuit or blow up or kill you) but the proper way to do it is heat-shrink. Electrical tape is okay too but it will turn into a sticky mess after a few months so beware if you ever need to rework the connection. Duct tape will do the same but it also doesn't seal as tightly as electrical tape because of the cloth mesh, so it's a bad choice all around. You are soldering the joint, right? Not just twisting the wires and taping them and hoping for the best?

NASA legendarily spent 30 billion dollars on developing a vape that can be used in zero g. You know what the Russians did? Just used off the shelf syringes and shot krodil into their thighs.

I'm having trouble with the physics of that. Why does the truck frame tip up after the ram fails? Edit: residual pressure on the retraction side?

The weight of the bed is supported on the hydraulic piston and the rear axle. When the hydraulics fails, all weight is then supported on the rear axle, tipping the front of the truck up.

Collateral Damage posted:You build separate roads for light vehicles so they don't have to cross paths with haul trucks except at designated crossing points. This doesn't happen in the majority of mines. Neither does shutting down production so light vehicles can access a working area. What you do is drive really loving carefully and always assume that the heavy equipment has no idea you're there and/or wants to kill you. 0toShifty posted:I took a tour of the open-pit gold mine in Cripple Creek. We drove in a small econoline based bus. And I tell you that with little exception we ONLY drove on the haul roads, and we passed several trucks on the haul roads. Left hand traffic is used in mines for 2 reasons that I'm aware of. Reason 1: The majority of haul roads in an open pit will have a highwall on 1 side and a shear drop off on the other. Both are things you do not want a truck coming into contact with. The smallest blind spots (which are still pretty fuckin big) are on the left hand side where the cab is. If you utilize left hand traffic, it is easier for the operator to judge his distance to the edge of the road. Reason 2: If 2 haul trucks collide in a head on manner while utilizing left hand traffic, 99% of the time it will be the right sides of the trucks coming into contact, thus putting the operator as far out of danger as possible. When using right hand traffic it would be the left sides (where the operator sits) smashing into each other. Sammus fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Jan 13, 2018 |

The twitter is 404ing, but I assume it's a photo of a white male encouraging / placing his children into an open sewer hole because of the false alarm of attackin Hawaii. I don't think sewers are bomb shelter levels of protection, but what do I know? I don't live in a loving sewer.

I would expect that a sewer, besides being a dark, slippery enclosed area with the potential for toxic or asphyxiating gas buildup, is not really designed to withstand the detonation of an atomic bomb and could pretty easily collapse and trap you inside
