Have you considered that you have offended Lord Poseidon somehow?

Oh I'm definitely going to have PTSD over this, but more of mine will be from reading your post than my flood. My girlfriend is telling me that a lot of times people pay out of pocket to get their full repairs done early only to get a measly check from insurance. I guess my neighbors got their units repaired so much more quickly than ours by doing that. Hope they don't get screwed. I'm glad we hired a PA if it means it caused our insurance to just go ahead and skip offering the measly check, pay for a year plus of our relocation, and do a much more lengthy investigation of how much they owe and how much our HOA owes.

Nth Doctor posted:All of structural work went against the condo association's master policy because the ultimate fault was the storm drain in my upstairs neighbor's laundry room had pipes disconnected between their floor and my ceiling and according to the bylaws, the condo association owned everything inside the walls. We had a waterline mishap in a university lab I worked for that ended up with a poo poo ton of water all over the floor. We go in and mop everything up into the floor drains. Turns out those drains weren't connected to anything and just dumped into the lab space below ours.

Yeah it sounds like it worked. Didn't the people on the floor below also have floor drains?

if it was unconnected drains all the way down would that be a cascading failure or a cascading success?

Oh poo poo, I watched that on my phone and thought it was just more sparks. Do those big stickers denote that there are flammable gases inside?

I went to a residential highschool in a building that had once been a hospital and one day water came pouring into the ground floor, down all the stairs from the girls' dorm. Up on the fifth floor two ladies were in a room doing whatever when all of a sudden the sprinkler line burst and quite a lot of water ran free before they could get the fire department there to close that shutoff.

Could have been any flammable liquid and it could have ended much worse. If you want to cut or weld a drum, you have to fill it with water to force out any vapors still left, otherwise it's a potential bomb. -e- The one sign I recognize is that the content is a water hazard. -e2- Red diamond = flammable liquid Lurking Haro fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Sep 26, 2018 |

Sooo how OSHA is not having flashback arrestors on the tubes for an oxygen - acetylene welding setup?

Given the damage that flash did to his shirt, I'm assuming he suffered some burns on his face that were not immediately evident.

My experience of water leaks is enough to tell me that you neve, ever want to live below somebody. Had a pipe connector blow in a ceiling, water came down through the lights, went through the kitchen floor and completely trashed the room in the flat below. I got a new ceiling and floor out of it, downstairs got an abject lesson in why putting a "dry" room below a "wet" one is discouraged by building regs. Mind you two years on and it still smells a bit damp occasionally.

It doesn't even need to be a wet room. This August the AC condenser line on my upstairs neighbor's AC unit clogged and I woke up to a nice puddle in the carpet next to my utility closet. Caught it before it made a big problem fortunately and the landlord took it seriously.

Asproigerosis posted:The real issue of that CT affair is hospitals never upgrading or doing preventative/proactive maintenance. The unit was probably old as poo poo, and never got upgrades or modernization. This is how all hospitals work, they grind equipment to dust until it breaks and there no parts left on the planet to fix it or all the service engineers that learned the arcane mysticism to repair them are dead (this isn't even a joke). ... CT scanners running at full speed are some of the more mad scientist contraptions out there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CWpZKuy-NE Patient goes here

Nenonen posted:In all accident photos that is where loose metal objects want to go, so ummm I think I'll wait outside the room. Accidents where the spinny part rips apart? If that broke up, all of the pieces would fly out tangentially to the original circle. You are probably thinking about accidents where something metal gets near an MR and gets sucked into the big magnets.

I feel like any accident that results in a violent disassembly is probably gonna make it spin off kilter after a bit and at that point, I wouldn't trust the safety of the circle.

Cartoon posted:Suicidally so. Acetylene wants to gently caress you up. It is aching for an opportunity. Nobody would use Acetylene except it is so good at it's job. Even so, plenty of people use propane instead just so they don't have a blood crazed psychopath sitting in a bottle anywhere near them. CROOK 1: "Hey, do you smell something strange? It's kinda like... bad eggs?" *hideout explodes* *later* THE CHIEF: "Goddamn it Acetylene, you're a loose cannon, but you're the best I've got!" Anyways finally a chance to post these photos a classmate sent me after I switched to my school's machining/CAD program. This was 4-5 years ago and I was about 150 feet away in a drafting class when it happened, sounded like a dumpster fell off a truck.
