Jerry Cotton posted:It's a drying cupboard over the sink. I joke but yeah I saw this once years ago and was inspired by the elegance of it, so I made my own hanging drying rack that floats above the sink and saves valuable counter space in my tiny apartment. Over-sink drying racks and boiling water taps are two things that the USA should pick up from Scandinavia. yes i know finland isn't scandinavia, but in the english-speaking world it is

Memento posted:Girl critical after electric shock from tap while watering garden I'd like to know how too. Some things relevent to WA: very anti DIY when it comes to electrical work. Pretty strict electricians here that when doing any elec work at someones house normally want to upgrade anything not to code. Our homes use copper plumbing still mainly (well most do and definitely did 30 years ago when houses in that suburb were built). Earth has to be a stake in the ground these days and is something an electrician would do if visiting for another reason. (used to be attached to an outdoor tap though) I used to install air cons and bring an electrician around for the wiring as I wasn't allowed to do that, so I've seen them install earth stakes, fit RCDs and replace switchboards because they demanded it before installing the air con, (they would be to blame if any any electrical faults happened later, due to being the last electrician who went there, and like I said, laws are against DIY here so sparkies are responsible for everything) Fo3 fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Mar 5, 2018 |

Raskolnikov38 posted:from the lead fumes to the plywood floating through the keel i do not think its possible to come up with a worse way of casting why not line the plywood with like... aluminum sheeting or something like that? I guess they picked "the most exposed guy" and he got a blood test that came out 7ug/dl. That's apparently "fine" and the rest aren't going to get tested. supposedly there are no safe lead levels but I dunno. Lead stays in your bones for years I think. the comments are p intense What are you doing with the contaminated crucible, contaminated clothes, contaminated wood, and contaminated soil? That wood and crucible both are now highly toxic, and you definitely spilled a lot of lead into the soil.... Josh Hockman highly toxic it's lead you retard!!! You know the stuff that a lot of older city water mains are made out of the stuff that was common in water lines and homes up to the 70s the stuff that any older building is painted in!!!! highly toxic try again retard!!! lead is mildly toxic at best!! you would have to ingest a great deal of it for it to affect you !! Educate yourself retard!! God you got guys that's been walking around since the war in 1940 with lead " If your blood level is low, that means that there isn't much in your body to get deposited! " Of course you a re an idiot. Grasp this retard; if led is already deposited there wouldn't be any left in blood for transport, not real levels that is. Calling others idiots and yet you can't wrap your idiot head around something so simple. gently caress off stupid

My basic chemistry learning would say lead would have to be vaporized for fumes to be a problem, and that's just steam you see.

The Lone Badger posted:Good boast though. How about two nukes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsutomu_Yamaguchi quote:Yamaguchi, a resident of Nagasaki, was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed at 8:15 am, on August 6, 1945. He returned to Nagasaki the following day, and despite his wounds, he returned to work on August 9, the day of the second atomic bombing. That morning, whilst being berated by his supervisor as "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city, the Nagasaki bomb detonated.[3] i don't think it's possible to give a bigger gently caress-you than being atom bombed twice in a week and living another 65 years

Miso Beno posted:Came across this weedwacker based brush control contraption over the weekend. Blades are a standard attachment for brushcutters though? The main issue I see with that one is that a circular saw blade probably isn't designed for the lateral forces that may get applied, possibly causing it to fragment during use.

SelenicMartian posted:Can't or won't? Can't, it's physically blocking the tap from turning. Australian politicians have been arguing nonstop over the National Broadband Network since at least 2010, it's all a giant loving mess. Originally it was supposed to be a fibreoptics network that went all the way to people's houses (FTTP - fibre to the premises) providing speeds somewhere between 100 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s but then we had a change of government and they went "Eh, the internet isn't all that important is it? And putting into fibreoptic cables to every single house in Australia is going to be way too expensive!" so they downgraded the maximum speed to 25 Mbit/s and went with a FTTN (Fibre to the node) system where they installed fibreoptic cable to a cabinet somewhere in the neighbourhood and kept the good old fashioned copper cables to the individual houses. And that's why Australia's internet speed are currently ranked below Guam, Belarus and Slovenia. But hey, we used to be ranked below Kazakhstan but we recently moved one spot above them! So the NBN network is poo poo, everyone knows it's poo poo, everyone knows it'll need to be replaced at some point in the future at great expense so it's a total waste of money, and the government are only going along with the scheme because of election promises even though it's a lovely cheap version of the previous government's plan. The workmen out in the field who are installing the NBN boxes all day long are also aware of all this and they obviously don't give a poo poo about the work:  Ooh you can barely see it, I wouldn't even know it was there if you didn't point it out! They don't even warn people that they're about to attach NBN equipment to their houses, they just walk into their yard, bolt a weird plastic box to the front of their house and leave. You can imagine how some people feel about that: http://www.examiner.com.au/story/3069265/couple-furious-over-nbn-cable-installation/ http://www.southcoastregister.com.au/story/3150801/nbn-rollout-riles-some-residents/

loving nbn is the bane of my life right now. They’ve mistakenly disconnected my service, i spend hours on hold at night waiting for them to check and recheck then decide its too late to do anything. I go to work, come back hoping they’ve fixed it, nope, call again. It hasnt been working since Wednesday

null_pointer posted:gently caress me, I thought internet in the US was a shitshow ... The US is ranked #9 in worldwide speed tests, Australia is #55.  Oh and the delicious cherry on top of that shitcake is that Prime Minister Turnbull once famously said that Australians have no need for 100 Mbit/s internet connections back in 2013 when he was Communications Minister and he was designing the system as it currently stands. Just this week he had the NBN connected to his mansion in Point Piper with a superfast 100 Mbit/s connection which was of course at the taxpayers' expense. He also got his department to intervene and bypass the 9 month NBN waiting period for his connection.

I've been through dozens of blades on those things landscaping. If you let it run up to full speed and take a good swing, you can cut down a 2" softwood tree in a split second. Steel toed boots and goggles are a must, though. After I had debris fly under my regular safety glasses and hit my eyebrow I dropped the tool and drove to the store for proper PPE.
