As a software engineer for a parking equipment company I occasionally need to support the equipment by driving out to a garage and don't some troubleshooting. Some of this involves working with the automatic gates. Today I was getting ready to troubleshoot a gate operator when the "safety" loop triggers and the arm drops, whizzing by my head just as I get out of the way. We switched from bump caps to hard hats about a year before I started here, apparently to much grumbling. The week after the switch a 6 inch steel cap came off some piping overhead and beaned someone in the head, splitting their hard hat, but leaving the brain remarkably uninjured. Suddenly people stopped complaining.

Today I was getting ready to troubleshoot a gate operator when the "safety" loop triggers and the arm drops, whizzing by my head just as I get out of the way. So, as you would expect, someone went and opened the gate while the robot was in operation. It stopped instantly, but the steel sheet didn't. It ripped out of the robot's grip and flew through the fence into the next station. Oops.

That just jogged a memory of my job in undergrad, I worked on a particle accelerator which involves very high voltages. There was a lockout cage around the dangerous end where I think there was a 40,000V potential but it wasn’t attached to the wall so you could squeeze in from the back and as I recall some part of daily operation required going back there after closing the cage but prior to energizing the accelerator. Great safety practice lol

I got a tour of the GSI accelerator shortly after they had the first particle accelerator death. Some researcher touched an exposed power line, got thrown of his scaffold and broke his skull. Now the OSHA part: The entrances to the accelerator has some warning lights in green, yellow, red. Meaning "OK to go in", "you need rad-suits" and "too rad to enter". But when I was there, there was an additional fourth level (green+yellow) announced on obviously recent and handmade stickers. It warned of exposed power lines.

So here in Edmonton we've had some cold and wet fall weather, but one day the winds reached about 100 km/hr. We had ample warning for those of us who kept an eye on the government's weather forecasting network, but I guess not everyone got the memo. https://www.thestar.com/edmonton/20...BMUDekz6ihgrHZw https://twitter.com/tysoliver/statu...6widget%3DTweet

That’s every pump/chlorinator room for a large swimming pool Edit: I think they’re like that in part because of how you need to be able to back flow them for cleaning and maintenance. But I’ve yet to see one that didn’t at least look needlessly complex. Flash Gordon Ramsay fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Oct 31, 2019 |

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:That’s every pump/chlorinator room for a large swimming pool I worked on pools for about 6 months, most of them weren't nearly that complicated. The ones I worked on had the pump isolated from everything else, and the filter was where the magic happened re: changing the direction of water flow. Even then, there was the main pipe (in use during normal operation) and the drain pipe (only really used for backwashing/draining). That one reminds me of the horror story pics from a WWI sub, pipes, wheels, and knobs everywhere and nobody knows what any of them do

Some further info for those who didn't read the article I linked: The window washing company is in BIG trouble. They were subcontracted out to wash the windows by the property owner, but had failed to heed the forecast when it said high winds. Adding to that was the fact that the company's name doesn't show on any business registry in the province of Alberta apparently, so they've got to answer for that, too.

Maybe 75%.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Exhaust grille temperature after prolonged driving in a warm environment can be above 700F. So I'd bet that cook time is not very long at all. Cooking a steak under a salamander at about that is 1 min per side for medium rare. You can ghetto your own by using a charcoal starter chimney and putting the blazing coals over a steak for a minute. (Alton brown tip of course)
