That got changed years back as well. USDA says you only have to do pork to 145.

Thank god, because well done pork is even worse than a well done steak.
It's so true. My grandma used to cook pork roasts by putting them in a crock pot with equal parts soy sauce and ketchup and maybe half a cup of water. She'd then cook the drat thing for as long as you're supposed to cook it in the oven.

To call it leathery would be an insult to leather.

Sometimes you fuckle the truck, sometimes the truck fuckles you. In the case of the alley bollards at my work, it's non-stop fuckling.

Somebody finally hit one hard enough to actually knock it over, so I had to remount.


Previous anchors were stubby little 5/8 bolts in anchor sleeves maybe 2 inches deep. New studs are 3/4 high strength stainless epoxied 4.5 inches into the concrete.


Who wants to take bets on how long before it gets knocked down again?

The epoxy has 19,890 pound pullout strength, 52,000+ shear.

It will happen while I'm on vacation later this month.

Reminds me of one of the houses I grew up in. We were on a fairly busy street on the far edge of town (the back of our property was also city limits), so it was a popular place for teenagers to go mailbox bashing. After our mailbox got taken out for the 2nd time, my dad decided to put a stop to it. He got a 6" diameter steel post and sunk it a foot deep into the sidewalk, then filled it with concrete. On the top, he had someone weld a platform slightly larger than the footprint of a mailbox, and then wrapped a rebar cage over the top. The mailbox sits inside the cage, and the flag has a little mount point on the outside.

Oh hey, thanks Google Street View!

I was driving past a rail yard yesterday and there wasn't a single section of fence that wasn't hosed up from truck drivers backing into it.

Even more shocking, i went to google street view to get a picture of it, and the fence is in pristine condition as of Jun 2018, meaning all the damage was done in a year.

I think it's more likely the nuts and washers will just punch through the bollard's base. It already looks pretty warped.

Conical shear failure of the concrete around the anchor bolts will be my bet, but it'll take a few hits.

I wonder how much damage that bollard has racked up over the years....

Fuckin amateurs, sink dia 32 foundation bolts to 6 metres into hard rock in an extension sleeve then pump non shrinking grout in there to bond it. Post tension your Bollard to 430kn and then laugh as trucks run into it and get loving destroyed instantly. Alternatively the Bollard snaps off the base or more hilariously the concrete pad itself fails and cracks.

If you anchor it deep enough and then place a truck against the bollard and drive West you can reverse the rotation of the Earth ala Superman

You could also reinforce the concrete base with pre-famulated amulite and prevent basically all side-fumbling.

This reminds me of working for a small businessman who started doing weird poo poo, like getting paranoid about someone breaking into the shop during work hours (???), so he threw the deadbolt on the front door from the inside with a key. And he was the only one with said key.

When I reported him for OSHA violations, I was told that since he had fewer than X employees (I forget the exact number, but it was around 10), none of the regulations on things like egress access applied. Basically, as long as there was one egress door (even if it was blocked by some serious fire hazard poo poo like big tangles of network and power cables hooked up to a shelf full of "servers" (aka, laptops running web services) that constantly threatened to fall on people). He did eat a fine for some of his terrible wiring and having not fixed electrical problems, but it wasn't nearly as satisfying as it could have been.

The best part was that he knew one of us reported him, but he never suspected me, despite the fact that I openly talked poo poo about him at work and he knew I was actively looking for a new job at the time. He just assumed since I was so nice and honest with all our customers, I must be an idiot who would never do anything sneaky.

You should have seen the outcry when farmers were told they couldn't let their kids play in the grain trucks anymore because a bunch of kids kept drowning in grain and ruining the whole load.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/bill-6-questions-answered-alberta-farm-safety-1.3345283

Imagine the horror of having to provide workers comp for your employees, and not letting your 12 year old rip down the highway with a load of grain.

Unlike other provinces, farm workers in Alberta are currently exempt from occupational health and safety laws and have no right to refuse unsafe work.

Idiot.

The owner of the commercial building across the alley from my work was checking out a problem with the man-lift in the parking garage when the brake failed and it fell with him on it and he broke his back. When the DC FD arrived they called the police to come secure the scene since a serious workplace injury had occurred and the city regulatory authorities would need to come inspect. This dude, being hauled out on a backboard with major injuries, was screaming the whole time about how "he wasn't an employee! he was the owner! it doesn't count as a workplace!" which nobody was buying, but who knows what his lawyers could have come up with down the line. I don't know if he could get away with being a small business for a 200k+ square foot building, though...

Actual professionals came out later and got the man-lift working again, and honestly I'm impressed that those are still even allowed at all these days.
