Combine it with the zillions of milk cans (it's the Netherlands!) and general boredom... It's also now officially listed as a dutch tradition that needs protection, as seen here: https://www.immaterieelerfgoed.nl/en/carbidschieten

I was honestly surprised by that angle grinder clip. Not that it was a poorly made piece of poo poo, mind you, but I expected the grinding disc to shatter and fling pieces everywhere. That being said, Harbor Freight has pretty decent hand tools. I have a 300+ piece socket/driver/wrench set that is pretty solid.

If you look up "x-ray lesions" on PubMed or Google Scholar and pick through the oldest papers you can find some really unnerving case reports where between some poor fucker getting all his poo poo amputated over the course of a couple years and the very precise, detached, old-timey medical language about unstoppable, progressing cell and tissue damage you get this really special pseudo-lovecraftian existential dread going

duz posted:I think I read that their foot "got stuck". When some people panic, they literally freeze up. Looks to me like they swerved into the parking lot to avoid the car in front because they were distracted or hit the gas too hard, then froze up. People occasionally do really weird stuff like that when technology doesn't respond as expected. Alternately, it actually could be a stuck pedal. Old car of mine used to have that happen once in a blue moon. I'd take my foot off the gas and the pedal would not go all the way back to nothing. First time it happened was, fortunately, on a highway as I was decelerating to exit. After a few very scary seconds, I was able to get it unstuck by putting my foot behind the pedal and pulling it forwards.

Platystemon posted:Those grinders cost literally my rule for harbor freight has always been: - nothing that uses electricity - nothing that would kill or maim you if it suddenly failed and that's been pretty good so far. they have a surprisingly good airbrush and spray guns, good for cheap rolls of masking tape, giant sockets you only need for a single weird nut, things like that. but i will never touch a harbor freight cutting disc or jackstand, and even their cheap electronics like multimeters die with alarming rapidity, and there are few phrases more terrifying than "harbor freight arc welder"

I guess I've had amazing luck with my harbor freight pliers set and multimeter, though, they're not used regularly at all, and who knows how much farther the quality has fallen in the past decade and change.

DrPossum posted:honestly, cheap multimeters are adequate for a ton of stuff, especially since most of what your household stuff is "does it have continuity or is it on and within a couple volts" Yeah, I use a Fluke 77IV at work cause I have to measure down to tenths of a volt and the meter has to be calibrated traceable to NIST. At home I use a free multimeter I got from some sale at a auto parts store because that's all I need. Just if you're going to check a line for safety reasons, first measure a known voltage source to make sure your cheap meter is still functioning. A blown fuse might lead you to believe something is not hot when it really is and then hurt yourself.

Guy has a 10 foot pole, that's OSHA approved by China standards. At this point I'm expecting a guy standing on that giant puck of glowing steel, kicking the dross off with wire-brush shoes.

[quote="Rah!" post="488403271"] https://i.imgur.com/kqqkzkP.mp4 Only problem I see here is that he put it out. Now they have unburnt flammable gasses being released near a fire. They should have either turned it off if possible, or let it burn out.

ledge posted:[quote="Rah!" post="488403271"] I assumed it was leaking through the pressure release valve, which ideally would close once the tank is cooled down by their hoses. But maybe it's just blowout valve in which case yeah that would be potentially bad, but maybe not worse than the tank itself exploding.

i regularly check for spark on old motorcycles/weedeaters/etc by grabbing the plug boot while turning the engine over. it's only 25kv and a few millijoules of energy, no more dangerous than a van de graaf generator at a science museum, and it really wakes you up
