I'm guessing a few random teams/cities banned it. But a quick glance at places like Buffalo and Cleveland shows tailgating as alive and well.

More OSHA posters: "Never leave your tools on the ladder"  "Watch out for the connection between hammer and handle"  "Work safely! We will do our best. You too?"  "New. Used. Worn down. Worn out. Broken"  "Worn down cable. Injured hands"  "A worn out wrench is the key to disaster"  "He will never use a worn out chisel again"

Saukkis posted:That looks more like they started sawing the tree from the wrong direction, from the notch side. for some reason he might have tried a plunge cut on that tree. you start at neither the notch or opposite of the notch - you bore straight into the middle of the tree and work backwards away from the notch. You mainly do this to prevent the "barber chair" - when as you're cutting towards the notch the weight of everything above makes the trunk of the tree split and fall backwards at you. edit: and then apparently left it all hosed up there for a long time

Cutting the centre of a tree won’t kill it as surely as girdling it will, but it has all that wood and bark for a reason. It’s going to struggle to move water and nutrients around and it is highly vulnerable to decay and structural failure.

darthbob88 posted:Going off an admittedly tangential Wikipedia, trees use the interior wood to pass water and nutrients from the roots, and inner bark to pass sugars down from the leaves. Severing the central wood won't do it any good, but I think the notch there would kill it first. My brother posted:I would think not, but from various indicators, that cut was made at least last year, and it seems to be recovering. Said indicators being the weathered color of the face-cut, rust on the bar and chain, and what looks like where the tree has grown back over the back-cut. It would also really depend on the tree species, I assume that that is a maple of some kind from the leaves around it, thought the leaves could also be from a red oak. I would assume that the story behind that is that the person tried to cut it down, the tree leaned the wrong way and pinched the bar tight and the feller did not have any wedges with him. Though why he did not come back with those wedges is unknown to me. Unless that is just a something somebody did for show, just making the face-cut and sticking ~1/2 a bar and chain into the tree.

ekuNNN posted:"He will never use a worn out chisel again" I saw a documentary a while back about a project to build a castle using historical techniques. One of the things that stood out to me was how important the blacksmith is - working all that stone and wood quickly wears out the basic iron tools of the period, so reforging chisels and blades is a full-time job. Pretty much the one place they forsake historical correctness is OSHA compliance; all the scaffolding and PPE has to meet modern standards. You can check it out on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydoRAbpWfCU

That is extremely up my alley. I don't LARP or whatever but I really do enjoy seeing how trades were done throughout history.

We had two stock boys bringing up some items on the forklift when I hear banshee screaming coming from outside the store front. One of them comes flying through the front door on one leg spewing profanity before collapsing on the ground. I look down and see his actual ankle. Like the bone. Blood is going everywhere.

wdarkk posted:Call before you dig: No explosion, but a fence company hit a gas line at my neighbor's house. They didn't call to get the lines marked, because, why would you? The lines are going to be a foot or so in from the fence, and they aren't going to do any digging besides cleaning out the existing holes for the fence posts. When the house was built, the gas line going into the house was run directly under one of the fence posts, or vice versa. When they removed the fence post and went to clean out the hole to install the new fence post, they hit the gas line. Now the fence company is going to be fined $4000 because of a coincidence.

I work for an ISP and deal with underground utility cuts all the time. I'd say it happens to us about once a month. Most of the time it's contractors trying to save money and time, cutting corners by not calling 811. If they did call 811, then usually they just ignored the markings with the mindset that they're not cutting the road very deep so it'll be fine. Fiber is not always dug very deep. The only time I've been involved with underground damage where the ground was marked and the construction crews followed them, the issue is that the marking was done incorrectly.
