IPCRESS posted:The one sound that will make literally any cat owner come to full wakefulness and sobriety. Instantly That's my alarm clock at least once a week because my cat's an rear end in a top hat. If he decides he's been waiting too long for food he makes himself dry heave. Either that or he's found a new hiding spot that I'm going to find full of cat vomit the next time I move furniture around.

ExecuDork posted:This is really interesting. Also, it raised a question for me (probably a stupid question): What would happen if a tornado hit a high-rise? Like, a decent F2 or F3 makes direct contact with a 25-story apartment or office block. i saw this happen in 2008 when a tornado hit downtown atlanta, it just busts all the windows. i was high at a party, it was pretty wild to look at even though it was only a small tornado and it was obscured by clouds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkfu4I9W2T8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL-Ajj_mvsM

That's a valid transfer method, I've done it before albeit in much calmer seas. I suspect in this situation they have to demobilise due to impending weather and heli pick-up or crane lift isn't safe. Honestly I'd rather do that than an actual abandon rig.

Of course they still puke, but they stopped hiding it over the time. It's nicer to find fresh puke in the kitchen (because you step in it) than finding it a week later behind the couch.

Yeah abandon rigs kill people a lot. http://gcaptain.com/why-are-lifeboats-killing-seafarers/ I've done this trying to transfer a stokes litter with a little old 80 year old with a heart attack off a cruise ship. So imagine that trying not to get squished or drop an old lady  worked out somehow.Ships are terrifying because there's sometimes literally no way to do something 100% safely.

I'll say again, he's an rear end in a top hat. Definitely wish I could train him to do it on a hard floor, there's plenty of it in the house but he really wants to puke on the carpet. I've read it's something about being able to grip the surface. These days I try to herd him towards the entry doors, where at least the rugs are easy to clean.

wolrah posted:My cat runs if I try to pick him up to move him while he's doing his warm-up, and if I catch him and put him on a hard surface he'll fight to get to the carpet. Cat brains are wired to seek out soft areas when they are in pain or distress, that’s why they like to barf on carpet rather than easy to clean hard floors.

MeatwadIsGod posted:A contractor for the BMW plant here in South Carolina was just decapitated when he opened an elevator door that was closed for repairs, stuck his head in the shaft, and the car came down and lopped his head off. The news stories haven't mentioned the decapitation part yet, but a coworker of mine has a friend at BMW who just called him to tell him about it. Saw that yesterday. Kinda glad they didn't hire me for the HSE vacancy I applied to last year

Bacon Taco posted:The metal scrapyard down the street from my office burns on the regular and always makes the town smell like welding. I had no idea scrap metal was so flammable. That's happened here too.  It was not a large fire, and our Fire Department is good, so I missed the flames. But yeah, steel burns quite happily if you get it hot enough, that's how cutting torches work -- get it red-hot, boop it with a jet of oxygen, the bits the oxygen touches burn away. And, if you think about it, rust is just iron burning really slowly, it's exactly the same process. Edit: and a general scrap-metal place probably has magnesium and poo poo around, sorted into piles by composition, and that poo poo burns like a motherfucker, and if it's close to something valuable, you bring in THE FOAMINATOR to attempt to smother it because that poo poo's hot enough to split water and burn it again, but standard procedure for a magnesium fire that's not threatening lives is to stand back and watch. I think in the case pictured it was ruled to be a trash bin that caught some sparks from cutting and caught fire. Chillbro Baggins fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Mar 30, 2018 |

Knockknees posted:My cat woke me up one night when I had accidentally left the stove on after the flame had burned out. House was full of gas (and of course the house was all sealed up for winter too). I don’t know if it was the gas or because it was three AM but I remember feeling really stupid and it took me a while to figure out what was going on because I think I had become acclimated to the smell. But I just had that feeling “something isn’t right here”, and the cat keep being weird, so I stumbled around until I figured it out. Pretty sure my house is fireproof (all the asbestos). I left the oven on overnight, then got called on an emergency job for a week away. Of course the the job call was due to a safety failure on some mining machinery. Came home a week later to a very hot house and a big electricity bill. Kinda like how I was driving interstate to teach a crew about fatigue management and had a microsleep and drove off the highway... I'm the worst at safety myself.
