If she's flirty, every guy is going to try and gently caress her. Even if she was not flirty that would still happen, but if she is, then everyone is going to try extra hard, because they're think she's in to them. Its not her fault guys are fuckin idiots. I work in a male dominated industry, and there was a girl working at my company. She took a lot of poo poo from guys, and also was hit on constantly. On the other hand, she used being a girl to her advantage from time to time. We'd be on a construction site, or at some factory or whatever, and we'd say, need a skid of (whatever the gently caress) moved. I'd go up to joe forklift driver and be all "hey man, I gotta do some work over there by that skid of (whatever the gently caress) if you got a minute can you move it a bit for me? Thanks bud" Most of the time it'd be "gently caress you pal, I ain't moving poo poo". So I'd say "alright (girl's name) get 'im". She'd walk over to the guy and be all "hey there, (giggles) do you think you could move that woody thing thats got all that (whatever the gently caress) on it, (sticks her chest out a bit) we've got to do some work over there and its sort of (flirty eyes at the guy) in the way". Well hoooolllleeeee gently caress, theose guys couldn't move that poo poo fast enough. It was all "sure thing there little lady, I'll move that for you right now, don't you worry about a thing". They'd end up asking for her number, and she'd give them a fake one, or get their number and promptly lose it. She could get these guys to move poo poo, and then they'd level out a spot, or clean it up or whatever. It was great, and then we'd make fun of the guy afterwards...

It was that, or some other mercury compound (possibly dimethylmercury?). If that sounds familiar, it’s the same compound that killed someone after they spilled it on their gloves hand. This was how we found out that those common safety gloves let the dimethylmercury through, completely unimpeded. Poor Dr Wetterhahn...

Samopsa posted:yeah that seems fake, look at the frames where the barrel 'expands', I don't think a steel barrel would act that way I've done it enough times in real life that I can say that if it was fake they made a very convincing fake. Barrels and cylinders love doing that if you over-pressurize them.

Phil Pomerantz, of BuWeps, wanted me to try dimethyl mercury, Hg(CH3)2, as a fuel. I suggested that it might be somewhat toxic and a bit dangerous to synthesize and handle, but he assured me that it was (a) very easy to put together, and (b) as harmless as mother's milk. I was dubious, but told him that I'd see what I could do.

Vaguely related, one of my favorite OSHA-batshit rocketry ideas was Shuttle-Centaur, which proposed a fueled hydrogen-oxygen upper stage rocket carried in the Shuttle’s payload bay, and was so heavy the orbiter would only be able to reach the lowest possible orbit. The purpose was the deployment of payloads/satellites to orbits the Shuttle can’t reach, the same as an upper stage on traditional rockets. In case of any of the main engines failing during ascent, you’d be boned; if you had to make an emergency landing, the landing gear couldn’t handle the extra weight; and there was no way to dump the fuel in flight. Some astronauts even declared that they would refuse to fly with it. It competed with the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS), which was a much lighter, safer, and simpler solid-fueled upper stage, but had a few disadvantages (high acceleration; can’t be shut down once ignited, much less powerful.) The IUS was used for several successful missions. In the end, the Challenger disaster, only a few months before the first scheduled Shuttle-Centaur flight, forced safety reviews that killed the program. Probably a good thing...

OK that post just got me thinking: have there been two shuttle explosions during my life-time or am I just Berenstaining really hard here? e: Oh thank god Challenger and Columbia. Thought I was losing it there for a moment.

wesleywillis posted:If she's flirty, every guy is going to try and gently caress her. Even if she was not flirty that would still happen, but if she is, then everyone is going to try extra hard, because they're think she's in to them. I once had a job that took me to a mine site every few months. One of my coworkers, an extra-busty lady, used exactly this technique to get things like unscheduled extra trips up and down the access shaft, mine cart rides instead of walking out to the job site, or getting a necessary form to the top of a paperwork stack. I was never out there with her, but from all accounts it worked incredibly well. The mining guys were always asking when she was going to be coming back, and she would happily describe how she'd sometimes take an extra trip out there to cut through some bureaucratic bullshit with a bit of boob bounce. I never was up to try it myself, a combination of not being personally inclined and definitely not as physically blessed. But given the general demographics of a mining worksite plus a local economy saturated with oil-fracking money, I did encounter my share of thirsty dudes. Always polite, thank god, so it was all good.

Yes, there were two. Glazing over a lot of details: Challenger, 1986: was the infamous o-rings in the solid rocket boosters; cold weather prevented them from expanding enough to seal leaks, which they weren’t designed to do anyway. Hot exhaust gases burned through some joints and destroyed the booster, and the sudden asymmetric thrust and resulting aerodynamic forces tore the Shuttle stack apart during ascent. Columbia, 2003: Thermal foam used for insulating the external fuel tank (the big orange thing) was shed during ascent. These shedding events were common enough to not be considered a danger by management. A large chunk of foam punched a hole in the left wing of Columbia. During reentry at the end of the mission, hot plasma entered the wing, destroyed internal systems and hydraulics, and ultimately led to a loss of control and disintegration of the spacecraft. Both of these accidents were entirely avoidable, and fourteen people paid for management’s failures with their lives.
