I used to have a video from 2005 when my buddies and I drunkenly pushed a big 17 inch CRT out of a 4th storey window on campus at Texas A&M The campus police were very interested in the news.

I got a terrible splinter in my foot I couldn't get out. Internet told me actually it's fine to leave in so long as it wasn't hurting and the body will naturally push it out over a few days. By the next day I had another got at it and it came out super easy.

That happened with my grandpa and the splinter worked itself deeper and caused a horrible infection in his tendon that required surgery and a ton of antibiotics, so ymmv with that strategy.

Facebook Aunt posted:I've never understood why they don't just put a floor drain in every bathroom. You know the tub is gonna splash, overflow, and the toilet is gonna back up many times over the lifetime of the house. Why not prevent those inevitable little accidents from ever becoming disasters? I was today years old when I learnt that not all bathrooms have drains in the floors. WTF

Canadian plumbing code only requires one emergency floor drain in a dwelling and it’s typically located in your laundry/mechanical room. So if builders don’t HAVE to put a drain in your bathroom they don’t!

Or bubbles occasionally come out of the floor drain if you use a lot of detergent in the machine

Since Amazon decided to one day ship me a new plug here's some pics of my extension cord electrical tape repair from ~7 years ago. Dropbox didn't auto upload the final pic of the new plug so you'll just have to pretend I did a thing.   Pretty good repair job back in the day, eh OSHA thread?

I caught some home grown OSHA myself today. I rounded the corner and watched him get onto the not a step. You can't see it, but he's bending over at the waist to work on some cabling that is juuuust out if reach. At least the other guy was holding the ladder for him.

My automotive electronic days are decades ago, but I would fill a butt connector with a little silicone grease, crimp them properly and heat shrink tube followed by a bunch of electrical tape. Stagger the butts so they don't have a big egg right in the middle of the repair. But a new cord is like $15 and you won't burn your house down with it. Do what'cha want.

Under MSHA's guidelines (which are usually based on OSHA, or stricter), as long as the insulation on the repair job is equal or greater thickness than the original, you're good. Still looks like poo poo and you're going to kill yourself/burn your house down though.

Do the guidelines say anything about using an actual crimp connector or solder rather than just twisting the wires together because that's the only part that worries me really. Basically I'm with Nocheez.

ArcMage posted:With a little solder I'd've run it. If you do use solder, make sure that section of the cord can't bend, because solder will make the connection brittle, and the stresses of it trying to bend back and forth could crack it.

I dunno man. Let's ask the extension cord. Hey cord, are you concerned the solder may snap if exposed to repetitive flexion stress?
