So this is the basic concept of a fly cutter



There's a few different variations of these, but as you might imagine just by the look of the thing, there's a lot of torque and forces at play on the tool itself. Plus they are generally homemade, so it's not exactly the safest machine tool out there. You'd run something like this at less than 500 rpm. IDK what happened here as far as fault goes, but this is the aftermath of taking the biggest one I've ever seen, so big around that it needed a counterweight, and ramping it up to 12k rpm.

That attitude is why I didn't tell my supervisor LOL.

That attitude comes from the fact that I work in safety at a distribution warehouse. It takes 2 seconds to tell the driver to stay put and you'll get a forklift and be right back and not get turned into roadkill.

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Wound up reading about Canada's first nuclear reactor, the Zero Energy Experimental Pile. It only produced 1W of power, but one hell of an OSHA-thread story:

ZEEP: The Little Reactor that Could posted:

There is one anecdote from that period that readers might find interesting. To pump water into the reactor tank one had to push a button at the control desk to start the pump. However, the pump ran only for a fraction of a minute at a time, and then stopped. So an operator had to repeatedly push the button to keep the pump running. Since this was rather tedious, one operator made a block of wood that could be used to jam the pump button so the pump would run continuously. One day, a couple of researchers were on the top of the reactor inserting detectors, and an operator was at the control desk pumping up the heavy water, with the pump button jammed. Suddenly, the phone rang at the other side of the building and the operator left the control desk to answer it, leaving the pump running. The call took longer than expected and the next thing the researchers heard was the shutoff rods dropping into the reactor. The reactor had tripped on overpower.

No one knows how much radiation the researchers received since they had left their film badges in their coat pockets on the floor below! However, it couldn't have been too much since one of the researchers' wives later had a healthy baby. One might deduce from this that "a little neutron flux never hurt anyone". This incident was never reported to senior management.

I've watched a lot of Jordan Peterson. A lot of it makes sense to me and has actually helped me -especially his university lectures- and none of it threw me into apoplexics, but he was starting to grate on me so I stopped.

Since youtube is unwilling to oblige me I'd be grateful if someone could recommend me an alternative point of view that I'm obviously not being fed. I've tried watching contrapoints but she's such high production values and slapstick for comedy that I'm like Christ do you have a point and if so for the love of God would you get to it please? Don't get me wrong the Jordan Peterson lobster daddy mask in the bath was hilarious, but I'm not necessarily looking for entertainment here but a reasonable point of view, and dragging JP into the bath is certainly one but not the other.

Listen to this episode of a very good podcast.

In a kitchen, breaking people out of the habit of trying to catch falling knives is one of the harder things I try to do. I'd imagine the same mindset applies to trying to catch a falling truck with your hands.

You just need duller knives. I can use any of mine as a back scratcher. No danger at all.
