bring back old gbs posted:god drat did anybody see this on imgur today?? From LiveLeak: Worker gets shot like a cannon after a explosion On the afternoon of May 3, Wang Moumou, deputy director of the hydrogenation workshop, arranged the operation of the No. 1 hydrogenation reactor. At 13:41, the manhole of No. 1 hydrogenator was opened. Wang then gradually opened the vacuum valve on the kettle three times, causing a large amount of air to be sucked into the No. 1 hydrogenation reactor to form an explosive mixed gas with the ethanol vapor in the kettle. Then Wang Mou went to the mouth of the kettle, and rinsed the paddles of the No. 1 hydrogenator and the residual catalyst on the wall. During the rinsing process, the No. 1 hydrogenation kettle flashed, and Wang Moumou was "bumped" by the explosion shock wave. Wang Moumou violated the regulations. In the state where the manhole of No. 1 hydrogenator was opened, it was not filled with nitrogen gas protection, but the vacuum pump was turned on, causing a large amount of air to be sucked into the reaction vessel to form an explosive mixed gas with ethanol vapor, and the catalyst Raney nickel was exposed to air. Spontaneous combustion, causing flash explosion, is the direct cause of the accident

There’s a total fire ban so no steam engines running. No OSHA content today  They are hosing down the ground as it’s so hot and dry that burning dust was flying everywhere, so I guess that counts.

shame on an IGA posted:Parachute didn't open. Bit late to the party but, to me It looks more like a vertical shear fracture. The front of the pelvis with its ligament has been torn off and the sacrum - the bit of spine just before the tailbone proper is sheared through. Lots of big blood vessels and nerves travelling through that area. Edit oh and also, can definitely rip bladder/ rectum open if you stretch the soft tissues enough. Also any bone sticking out is a major infection risk. Trambopaline fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Mar 2, 2019 |

Dirt Road Junglist posted:As the say in Drop Dead Gorgeous, "It's...best with lots of butter." The best lutefisk in the world tastes like absolutely nothing. It's like eating wet toilet paper. The butter and salt helps. Best eaten with new potatoes and sour cream. Perhaps some tunnbröd and butter. Some pickled onions would be nice and potato salad wouldn't be turned away. I was born in Norwegian country in ND and we did eat lutefisk here and there. But only at church suppers or at feeds. It doesn't taste great, but it goes down easy enough. You don't eat it because you like it. It's just a tradition in some parts. I've lived in ND and MN for 40 years and I've never even heard an elder say that they "like" lutefisk. It's just kind of a poisonous thing that their grandparents used to eat in the old country.

I think you can have rats for research purposes, but you need all sorts of permits and the like. There's control zones established along the borders where Rat Patrol Officers inspect buildings and kill rats on sight. http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$Department/deptdocs.nsf/All/com14443 They will loving burn your poo poo to the ground if it has an infestation.

how do the rats know to stop at the alberta border e: well, that's fascinating. the specific rat they're controlling cannot survive the canadian winter outside of human habitats so burning down rat-infested houses in border areas is all you need to do. huh Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Mar 2, 2019 |

The rat control zone is kind of weird though. In the 1950s they were primarily concerned with rats coming from the east, as the rat menace was coming from that direction as rats spread across the continent. So the rat control zone is along the western boarder. But since then rats kept moving west everywhere else so they must have them in the Montana to the south, and I know we have wild rats in BC. Why no concern about vile Montana rats sneaking in?

Up north is too cold for them to survive the winter, and the mountains to the west with the arid plains in the south form a pretty good natural barrier. They're an invasive species after all, it's just that other jurisdictions have given up and lost the war.
