Proteus Jones posted:Trucks with logs or stacked iron pipes terrify me. There was a major trucking highway that passed thru the center of my hometown, and there was a particularly nasty, off-camber corner that would occasionally tip trucks over. Logging trucks, in particular. There was a laundromat along the outside of the corner that got flattened every few years for a decade or so before they regraded the corner and mitigated the problem. For years, they'd use log rolling jokes in their marketing. Like, "ROLL IN ON FOR SMASHING DISCOUNTS!" and poo poo like that.

If you've not keeping back a couple hundred feet from anything even vaguely log-shaped after seeing final destination I don't know what to tell you.

Powershift posted:Your delivery of fire is here. When my aunt first started dating my uncle they were in Sudbury, Ontario, where there were two active metal smelters (nickel and copper) right in town. Actually, both smelters are still there today, I used to live less than a kilometre from one of them. Anyway, for dates he would take her up Copper Street to the top of the hill and they would snuggle under a blanket and watch the slag hauler drop 20 tons of viscous, liquid FIRE off the slope, every few minutes, all night long. That particular pile of cooled slag has since been reclaimed and is covered in grass, with a few young trees along the ridge. The new active slag pile is not visible from town, and they built a bunch of McMansions all along Copper Street and its new subdivision cul-de-sacs of streets with pretentious names.

All these images with inappropriately glowing electrical components make me weigh how fascinating it is and the draw to film it against the self-preservation instinct that seems lacking in getting that close for any extended time. I'm sure glad there are people who care about continuing to exist less than I do so I can see crazy poo poo on the internet I guess

Powershift posted:Your delivery of fire is here. I showed this one to my father (cotton farmer since around 1987). quote:Ugh. The operator was not paying enough attention to let a basket fire get that big. The first thing to do is cut off the fan that is blowing the cotton into the basket so it won't fan the flames. We have had it happen but never that bad. So now you know.

Phew--- it's fake. If you watch the mid ground below/in front of target guy you can see the clipping path lighting subtly shift in a straight line when he gets up and moves, and part of his shadow is briefly blocked 'behind' that layer too.

Proteus Jones posted:Trucks with logs or stacked iron pipes terrify me. don't forget steel coils  Fun fact: the railroad cars used to haul these are some of the heaviest in general freight and because railroads don't replace bridges until they have to, there are many routes where they have to space the coil cars out with an empty flatcar in between.

I worked with roll-fed printers and the paper came stacked, two rolls on their side on the pallet. They had a forklift with a special attachment to grab the rolls and turn them up. Sometimes whoever was ordering the paper would pay extra to have them shipped standing up, but that wasn't the standard.
