Then why use the dip assist machine to begin with?

Probably the only suitable place to do dips in the gym. Doing weighted dips on an assisted dip machine is pretty common.

I've never been to a gym, my strength comes from physical labor. it never occurred to me that someone would need assist doing dips considering it's such a basic human movement. Are there ladder climbing assist machines, too?

If you're a computer toucher who weighs a bunch more than he should, and also you want to either practice the motion of it (not that it's that hard, but still) or it's your first time in the gym and you don't want to be embarrassed by only being able to do 1 rep, the assisted dip machine is a god send.

Also, most assisted dip machines (including the one pictured) are also assisted pull-up machines, and more people tend to need assistance with pull-ups.

Yes, gasoline is a terrific solvent. My guess is that he's actually spraying diesel fuel.

So like how dangerous IS gasoline, really? Some dude started screaming about how I was going to kill us all for smoking in a gas station parking lot which seemed a little extreme to me. It's not like I was smoking at the pump or anything.

The vapors are the main fire hazard. They ignite pretty easily, but would need an actual spark or open flame. A lit cigarette on its own isn't hot enough.

Gasoline is a mixture of a whole bunch of ill-defined toxic compounds. You don't really want to be around it if you can help it.

No, but a cigarette lighter usually is.

Lighting up a new cigarette is a far greater risk than driving up with a lit one.

It’s not the gas you gotta worry about but the vapors. And up until today, I would’ve never said “gas puddles” but after watching that video, gas puddles.

Gasoline is more volatile. It vaporises faster and ignites more readily. Diesel is more oily.

Diesel shouldn’t ignite with a spark below 50 °C (122 °F). Spill some on a hot engine and it could go off, but gasoline will ignite even at −40° (same on both scales).

start smoking (what's up, gold?)
I was refueling at a gas station the other night when a dude in a very fancy cadillac escalade rolled up, threw it in park, got out, fueled up like 20+ gallons, and left without ever turning it off. It felt like that should be kinda stupid and dangerous, but also the lady manning the kiosk was like "v:shobon:v" so oh well

We would routinely fill our diesel ambulances while running but maybe that's different than gas. I didn't die so it must have been right :v:

I'd imagine the danger in that situation has nothing to do with the fuel itself, just the fact that there's a running vehicle with nobody inside to control it. After all, nobody panics if they're pumping gas and the car right next to them starts up and pulls out

I jumpstarted a coworkers car that had alternator trouble and also she was basically out of gas. I told her to drive to a gas station and fill her car with it running. She said "there's things that tell you not to do that" and I responded that she'd likely need a jump again if she turned her car off, at which point you're messing around with sparking cables and poo poo. I was also like "yeah they say not to, but if it was actually dangerous dangerous, there'd be interlocks on the gas cap by now." Like, if opening that little door and unscrewing the cap was legitimately likely to blow up the car, it wouldn't let you do that. Or at least the warnings would be way more severe.

Obviously not something to do routinely. One time out of necessity is an acceptable risk I thought.

Yea it's a load of hot air. Plus all the debris that seems to be flying around that's probably not too pleasant. I mean the force is enough to blow over the fencing, some rocks and dirt probably would hurt quite a bit.

You can also just push the car off the fuel court and use the jumper cables farther away
