Gromit posted:A friend used to work at a place that was shutting down and he said they were just throwing out lots of bits and pieces and I told him to just bring me anything sciency he could fit in his car. He gave me one of these arms but without the bell on the end, but I've really no idea what to do with it. Maybe if I buy a new place that has a workshop I can fit an extractor for soldering or something? mail that poo poo to me, I'll build a steam extractor for my brewing area

My jurisdiction has just instituted remote inspections over facetime or skypequote:The purpose of the Remote Inspection Program is to provide an alternative to on-site inspection for situations requiring more prompt service or when a specific inspection time is desired. It may also be used for follow up inspections after an inspector visited the job site in person first. The program requires a client to use the Skype or FaceTime app on a 4G smart phone in order to interact with the City inspector. The inspection process is as follows: Clients schedule a remote inspection through our calendaring service; the inspector initiates a Skype or FaceTime call to the client; the inspector directs the client to send video images of the work that needs to be inspected; the inspection results are entered in our system for client to view on our web site. A list of the things that a skype walkthrough is good enough for: quote:Eligible Permits: Some of those like shade structures, water heaters, and sheds seem like some remote imagery is going to serve the purpose fine. but Residential Construction seems like a pretty big catchall.

I mean, the closest thing we have to a warning of danger to all future generations is the curses inscribed on Egyptian tombs, and in most cases those had all been raided within a hundred years or so. Tutankhamun's unspoiled tomb was basically unique.

Just put up a paved walking trail with nice signage and a boring statue up, no one will ever go there except old bored old people who are nearly dead anyway. Or me, who lives for that poo poo and probably deserve to be irradiated anyway.

I don't think I saw this posted here. NTSB update to the investigation into the Florida pedestrian bridge collapse: https://ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Pages/HWY18MH009-investigative-update2.aspx It's looking like it wasn't crappy construction, but rather crappy design. quote:Although the evaluation is ongoing, the assessment has determined that errors were made in design of the northernmost nodal region of the 174-foot-long span, where two truss members were connected to the bridge deck. These design errors resulted in (1) overestimation of the capacity (resistance) of a critical section through the node comprised of diagonal member 11 and vertical member 12; and (2) apparent underestimation of the demand (load) on that same critical section. Additionally, the FHWA evaluation determined that the cracking observed in the node prior to the collapse is consistent with the identified errors. Talk about failing your statics and dynamics final.

Underestimated the load and overestimated the capacity! There's an engineer who won't sleep well for a long time.

It's more to shame the culture that had to create such a thing than for the benefit of anyone. Like "look at what horrible things we've done to warrant such an elaborate and threatening warning, with spikey structures that lack honour and everything" Anyone actually involved in longterm radioactive waste disposal is in favour of burying it deep in a geologically-stable place where it will probably not be found by hunter-gatherers who talk like Klingons

Whole thing would be mostly moot if the NIMBY crowd would unfuck themselves and let the US reprocess waste fuel to extract the energy from the transuranic elements left after a first pass in light water reactors we use now, eventually reducing all the waste to fissile products with a dangerous half-life below 100 years, and much easier to store due to being reduced in mass by a factor of almost 100. Light water reactors are gloriously inefficient when it comes to actually getting full potential energy out of uranium, but we decided as a matter of policy decades ago that didn't matter as there was plenty to go around.

We had some terrible old plumbing at one of my previous jobs, which we took care of by moving out and making it somebody else's problem.  To be fair though it's not like we didn't try fixing it. The landlord just didn't want to work with us on anything because they knew once our lease was up they could kick us out and easily get triple what we were paying for the place if they found a new tenant. They were even doing some minor construction on the place while we were still occupying the building, and one of their idiots busted a pipe right outside the basement door and flooded the place. We had to close temporarily, replace carpets and other equipment, take some people off the schedule since you can't work in a flooded basement.. Of course we were never compensated for any of this by the landlord or whatever sketchy construction guys he had on the job. A couple months after we vacated the building, the basement flooded again. This time they only discovered it because it started to seep through the walls into neighboring businesses.
