EPIC fat guy vids posted:That's one of the best advert campaigns I've ever seen. Thanks for linking There was an ‘eco house’ built from hay bales not far from where I used to live. The bales were nicely rendered inside and out, and it was all very smart. But one day shortly after it was finished it caught fire, and the fire brigade had to dash out and extinguish it. Because the bales were so dense, there wasn’t actually that much damage done. Trouble was fire was still smouldering somewhere in the bales, and it reignited a couple of days later. Fire brigade came out again, extinguished it again. The same cycle repeated over the course of a couple of weeks or so, and eventually the whole house burned down. It was quite upsetting for the people who were trying to live in it.

Hay bales can spontaneously ignite from the heat of decay going on inside. I know this and I have never owned a single bale of hay, much less built a house from the stuff.

About to try and lift my 1.2 metric ton milling machine at home, got myself a 2 ton harbor freight crane last night. Heavy machine lifting is always a very OSHA thing so wish me luck. Just want it up so I can pull away the pallet and let it sit on the floor for now. Next step comes later, putting it on machine skates for actually moving it.

On tyre chat, sporting and track motorcyclists are pretty on to tyre pressures. When I'm riding I often check and adjust 2-3 times a day if the weather and road conditions are changing. We just fill with air, nitrogen is a con for anything outside of maybe F1 where those couple grams of unsprung weight might actually mean something. If motorcycles are happy with air, your car should be too. After all our two tiny tyres matter more than your four gigantic tyres.

clockwork chaos posted:The fire marshal said that the fire lane, which has multiple signs saying that no equipment can be in the lane, has to be clear at all times and needs to be fixed immediately. It took less than two days for it to be clogged again. You need to surreptitiously take a photo and send it to the fire marshal. I doubt he will be very impressed. The next fire could be leave you trapped with no way out and you'd get to be burned alive for minimum wage. Your life is worth infinitely more than that.

 Just got heavily invited to apply for a job at another company at double my current wage and a 9 day fortnight (5 on 3 off, 4 on 2 off). It's only 80km away and I can easily afford to have my house here and a unit there if I have to until I find a place to settle. I'm at a level at current place I can take extended leave without pay to feel it out on the sly and if it doesn't work out just go back to work and lie about my holiday. It's right up alley, and a bunch of my experience exceeds their requirements. It's a different type of work (now gas, new is metals) but I'm sure I will have stories to tell

They're building a switch. Put a handle on top, put it back in and you can rotate the cylinder to dis/connect the lines

It makes a noise somewhere between wood knocking together and a gunshot, makes the entire slab shake, and will fire the grout plug filling the pocket for the anchors a few hundred feet The last PT job I worked on had a big fuckup with the locations on the plumbing blockouts, and had to do about 500 cores to fix it... and managed to avoid hitting a cable until the very last one they did

Yeah, sign up a burner email and an anonymous Google voice phone if the fire marshals want to talk, get pictures if you can do it without management noticing, and scrub all the metadata on those images before you send them.

Guyver posted:You can actually do this on cranes with tires when you want more counter weight. I got curious about the practical applications of liquid-filled tires when I woke up this morning and discovered an outfit that will fill your utility vehicle tires with a liquid polyurethane; this solidifies to a solid elastic material which eliminates pressurization/blowout issues and makes any tire into a perma-run-flat. https://accellatirefill.com/products/tyrfil-flatproofing/ It's technically only liquid during the application phase but still, pretty cool.
