here is a man attempting to burn an EU flag, but he cannot, because of EU regulations that stipulate such flags must be made of fire-retardant materials.

This seems like one of those times where it's ok for the bus to push a motherfucker out of the way. So many people sitting there like lemmings and just letting the poo poo happen.

Is that so they can't be burned politically, or is it because of just general fire safety?

People hang flags indoors as decorations all the time. Sometimes they use them as curtains.

Would have to be titanium pipes or plastic. Anything ferromagnetic near an 11.7T magnet is Not Advised. Even though the field outside the casing is relatively weak.

The magnets are also averse to vibration, random EMF sources, and anything large and ferrous (cars, trucks) moving nearby outside, as the probes are very sensitive, and maintaining a homogeneous static magnetic field is critical.

So you tend to have a clear space around them. Pipes would be wierd, and probably make the magnet vibrate unacceptably.

Hospitals generally aren't great about keeping their MRI quench systems clear because they get used so rarely and it costs a shitload to restart an MRI. Every now and then someone blows the roof off a building because there was a dead pidgeon stuck in the system.

These guys have skipped the step of putting the shell in the fire first, which is making it much harder to chisel through the copper. Poor technique IMO.

Manufacturers and the Department of Defense have claimed that the failure rate for each bomb is about 5%.[2] This would mean that of the 202 bomblets dropped, about 10 will not explode on impact. Landmine Action has claimed the failure rate of the BLU-97/Bs used in the Kosovo campaign was higher, between 7 and 8 percent.

One of the absolute fuckers of UXO clearance is cluster munitions. Take the BLU-97/B Combined Effects Bomb for example. About the size of a soda can and painted a jolly bright yellow the unexploded munition is attractive to children and adults alike. Why is this OSHA? Because these things kill de-miners indiscriminately. Why didn't it explode when it hit the ground? Who knows! What will make it detonate? Anything! A nudge with a foot, throwing it to your friend, the flatulence of a nearby termite, anything! It's been used all over the world, even in places it "hasn't".

About a month after I left the project an experienced de-miner was killed in Rwanda when one just went off as he was setting up. He wasn't touching it, just clearing the area around it.

Judging from all those cubes lying around the site, they are planning on loading dozens of cubes and have probably already loaded dozens. All without planning any way to make loading easier.

Or having adequate capacity trucks/machines... Watching the bucket get jammed back when the excavator pushes on the block makes the little hydraulic mechanic in my brain tingle. Nothing like driving hydraulic fluid back through the pressure relief valve while at full throttle on other functions.

Uneducated guess, but maybe it's granite and they need the pieces to remain as big as possible so they can charge $$$$ for huge custom pieces.

No they should raise it so they can push it up a ramp right into the truck... They can't lower it because there is probably infrastructure under it.

The pool had been wired to discourage two pet Rottweilers from jumping in, the Daily News has learned.But 14-year-old Victor Dario Avila did not know that when he jumped in to cool off Saturday. His father, Victor Sr., 35, was killed when he leaped in to try to save his son, police said. “They didn’t know the pool was wired,” an investigator told The News. “The boy jumps in, and when his father saw him being electrocuted, he also jumps in.”
