My god, I think that's out at Philmont. One of the culverts on the Cito road. Red polo and khakis, and that tan truck. Gotta be.

Found the video, it's on the north side of the Valle Vidal, on the main road going in.

If your house has a metal water line that’s in contact with the ground for 10’, code doesn’t just permit it to be used as a ground, it requires it to be bonded to the house’s ground rod and used as part of the ground reference for the house.

If someone’s water line is shocking people, it’s not because it’s being used as a ground.

That is an amazing location to have some pyrotechnics. I bet it was their second choice though, since the army wouldn't let them hold their party in an ammunition bunker.

It's ok, the guy agreed to pay $220,000 in restitution for a fire that cost $8.2 million to fight.

health and Safety still didn't want to shell out the expense for it, so I tried to start a GoFundMe to buy AEDs for our building with the dual purpose of getting AEDs and shaming the management. This made the higher ups really mad and I had to take it down, lol.

This is monstrous. Every minute to shock matters for survival in cardiac arrest. Here's a report with a pretty tidy graph to show healthy and safety.

I can dig up some proper academic papers when I'm not phone posting.

Edit: which is to say I think it's hideous that even if someone is willing to set this up for the company not wanting to get an AED because they would look bad.

I don't work there any more, but believe me, I showed them all those charts because at the time there was a lot of AED stuff in the news due to lots of use in shopping centres during the holidays. "Fire station is down the street, and according to the regulations it's just as good as having an AED in the building."

I've never been able to actually see those regulations, even after pushing pretty hard for them. Eventually I was told by someone looking out for me that it would be in my best interests to drop the matter, so I did because I need to put food on the table. Capitalism!

Yeah I had the pads on him and shock administered in under 2 minutes. It was kinda scary because I was talking with another coworker afterward that she "didn't even know where in the building the AED was".

I've linked the actual law below, but a workplace doesn't count as a public location. I don't think there's any specific regulations for AEDs in workplaces, so I'm pretty sure they made up the fire hall distance "regulation" out of whole cloth so they didn't have to admit outright we didn't have them because they were just being stingy assholes.

Yup and on that map close to the Gracemere(?) fire is an explosives factory!

And while I joke about my house being inside the exclusion zone for explosions from the gas plant...looks like another fire has started near one of our distribution depots in Rockhampton. Not personally going to affect me but a LOT of old friends are in the 5km kill radius of that site. I'm been messaging anyone who will listen to not just sit back and have a beer.

QLDers: Oh a natural disaster? Lemme get some beers and ride it out.

Source: I am guilty of this when I lived in CQ when we had a cyclone many years ago. I lived IMMEDIATELY on beachfront and just sat there drinking scotch watching the rain. Got woken up at 4am by SES screaming for me to get out of my house.

EDIT: the 737 was dropping near Gracemere:

The magazine in Bajool? or is there another one?

One of my sisters lives on a property near Bauhinia which is inland from the main fire front, but there's still some stuff burning to the west of them. I wouldn't want to try and get out at the moment, all the main rods look pretty iffy.

Yeah Bajool (I haven't lived in the area for a long time so forget my locations). Whats the difference between a Magazine and Factory? I maybe used the wrong term as I know gently caress all about that place other than 'poo poo goes bang'. A few years ago someone got in big trouble for even flying over it if I remember correctly.

Ah! I always thought they made the stuff there as a kid. So a bunch of ready to go off explosives instead of raw materials. Sounds like that place will be on alert!
