Judging from TNG even mature holodeck technology has a 50/50 chance of attempting to kill you and everyone on board.

The holodeck was actually the greatest adversity the crew ever met.

Having enough tiles to cover a set area and connecting them to avoid any gaps might make it more practical.

Also hextiles.

I think I kinda subconsciously expected a gas explosion to be like a movie-style big fat slow fireball, so it’s kinda surprising just how much that looked like a bomb/actual high explosives.

Movie pyrotechnics use a lot of slow-burning fuels like gasoline to cause those dramatic rolling fireballs, while natural gas burns very quickly and essentially functions as a fuel-air explosive in a confined space.

In this week’s Kermode and Mayo, someone wrote in to say they were listening to the podcast when she got hit by a car. Everyone around her thought she’d been killed, and both her shoes went flying, but she got up and was almost completely unharmed.

At our crane training institute, there’s a photo set from the 70s of a harbor crane collapsing. You can see one guy take it off as he runs. I think there’s some weird impulse of “It’s going to fall off!” when they’re not on tight enough and start getting jostled by running.

I've only ran with a hardhat on once or twice. Instinct was to use hand on top of it to hold it onto my head. Similar to the many times I've had to keep the drat thing from being blown off on really windy days. I could see how someone would react and just grab the thing so they could just run like a normal person.

One of the plants I work at requires everybody to have a chinstrap on their hardhat. I've never seen them actually used and everybody just keeps them flipped up on top of the hardhat.

I'm slowly reading the El Faro bridge recorder transcript and...

quote:

CM you know the islands in the bay off Honduras?

CM pretty little islands.

CM (this/it's) pretty quick– long story short.— second mate decided to go
inside the islands just to look– without asking the captain. [spoken
during a chuckle]– I mean there's a track? right?

CAPT yeah.

CM he decided to go around the island on the other side of the island.– just
laid it out and did it. and the captain said "where the hell– what the hell
* * *?" "I just wanted to see what it looked like."

CM
to me that was outrageous.

CAPT
when * * * (ask somebody else).

CM
* * *. [sound of chuckling]

CAPT
you can't even get mad a guy like that– you gotta look at 'em and go
"really?"

CM
[the CM tells another story related to the same mate not related to the
navigation of a ship.]

I want to hear the other story :(
