They actually restarted the gear after this fault and ran it for a full cycle, until its water pump overheated from the dropped phase.

It was phase C that dropped, too, not the fried one; blew the downstream fuse. The 800 A downstream fuse.

Hope you didn't breathe too deeply around that thing, chum

If I was watching them pull that thing out I would have made them wet it down and bag it immediately, those fibers do not look good

edit:


Can't say for sure without sampling it, but there is a certain resemblance

We wear masks around here anyways. It's fiberglass, though. Haven't used asbestos in those for at least a few years.

Well they ran away where it initially fell. They'd be alright but the crowd would mostly be squished. The guys felling it pushed it away from the crowd though, towards where those two guys were running.

With how it shatters you can see it's a very rotten tree so the weight will be substantially less and it's been de-limbed also.

I'd guess that's more like Mach 2.5-3.5, going off usual muzzle velocities for .223-.308 caliber cartridges, so those tits are flopping around at Mach 5-7. Although I think that's the wrong way to think about it; they're oscillating 1 complete cycle in the time it takes that bullet to cross her chest, so they're vibrating in the low kilohertz range. She should be emitting a piercing whine, possibly two given that this can't be pleasant.

That'd make a pretty effective weapon. Anything coming into contact would be pulverised instantly.

Except one track is free of people right when you flip the switch, and a couple people decide to run from the safe track onto the other one you just put the train onto. At that point you just throw your arms up in the air like “jesus christ do you just want to die” like the guy who did the pushing does in the gif

Clean up is an essential step in professional tree removal

That big crowd reminds me of this time I did a tree removal in this dipshit suburb and like, half a dozen people set up lawn chairs across the street and watched. It wasn't that big of a tree and we weren't even doing much rope work.

Performance tree removal...wooo glug glug

I like how there's a flag tied to the tree, apparently to determine the prevailing wind exactly for this scenario, that both the cutters and the crowd utterly ignore as the tree gets tilted in exactly the direction the flag's strong waving suggests it would.

It's basically like on a ball bearing at that point. They push it nearly perfectly sideways so they aren't fighting the momentum/gravity, just inertia.

Well, it's pretty hard to get nailed in the temple by a chunk of flying wood through the internet.

I can think of at least one good reason off hand why you should do this sort of thing away from people.

3-5 pounds of anime tit-meat striking something at ~5k ft/sec would indeed pulverize anything smaller than an Abrams. The shrieking 8Khz tone vaguely reminiscent of tinnitus would be loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss at a truly alarming distance, to say nothing of the constant, oscillating sonic booms they would produce. Truly a weapon to surpass Metal Gear!

IIRC those apple power adapters come with modular "plugs" for various sockets you are likely to find worldwide.

Even worse, the plug bit connects to the main adapter using a C7/C8 connector, which is pretty much everywhere.


It's not entirely unlikely that there's an appliance in their hotel room that uses the same connector which they could borrow a cord from. I definitely did that when I had a Mac, my nice original long cord stayed at home conveniently accessible on top of my desk while I carried around a generic cord from an old VCR in my backpack.

This is the real lifehack. I used to have one plugged in behind the couch like a pigtail, so whatever laptop adapter I had on hand could plug into it.
