The total weight was calculated somewhere back in the thread and the basic gist of it is "don't think about it; it should have broken off already."



Another one that's been in the thread. The bucket isn't heavy enough to secure a motorcycle, but I don't know if anybody pointed it out before but that looks like a bowline which is, surprisingly, not completely inappropriate. Anytime you tie a knot you're weakening the strength of the rope and a bowline is up there among the strongest knots. No matter how hard you pull on it it doesn't tighten up so the loop stays the same size and it remains easy to untie.

A pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter (if you're using Imperial pints. US pints and gallons are smaller.) So no, not the whole world round.

I've got several pieces of fibrous actinolite in the shed from a heavily metasomatised nickel deposit. It's fine, as long as you handle it properly.

Seems pretty OSHA to not even use one standard for pint and gallon, let alone adopt SI-units.

Only in the US, thanks to the same British law that made the rest of their units weird. The mass unit is the same but the British fluid ounce is a little puny.

e: I was mistaken, it's wrong everywhere but drat close outside the US.

If the door is 2 m high, I judge the balcony at about 3 m by 1 m (but the angle is a little tricky and gently caress trying to normalise the whole thing).

I’m going to say the window sill is 0.8 m above the floor. Judging by the empty balcony below, the water is 40% of that deep, or 0.32 m.

That works out to almost exactly a cubic metre of water, or one tonne.

Which is a lot less than I expected.

was trying to find more info on that. found this instead: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1264844/woman-crushes-husband-and-kills-herself-freak-parking-accident-zhejiang

quote:

The driver, who had received her driver's licence only five weeks earlier, hit her husband as he stood next to the car giving directions. He was crushed to death against the wall in the parking garage in Fenghua, an hour's drive south of Ningbo.

The woman, who had opened her door and was leaning out of the driver's seat, smashed her head against a wall during the manuevre. She also died at the scene, the Ningbo Evening News reported.

You can trust me
Apparently one of the trucks was carrying steel and the other one carried paint and paper. The theory on reddit is that the paint cans were poorly sealed, leaking acetone vapor into the truck. The collision sparks the acetone leading to the explosion.

I remember when Jose (the goon mod) stayed in Miami during Hurricane Irma against all reason and other goons telling him to leave because he had never experienced a natural disaster before and he ended up with his balcony flooding because of a blocked drain he couldn't be arsed to clean.

And then he was seriously considering taking a potentially lethal amount of Xanax or something on the flight back home. It's really only luck that he didn't die last year.
