Definitely keeping the full brim hard hat around for when I'm outside in the sun, though. You can always buy one of those sweet brims that mounts on your petzl. Super cool looking and as big as a sombrero.

When we got to Europe all those guys are like in awe of the full brim so I keep it, the climbing style is what I'd wear if I had to wear one indoors for sure.

I just bought a new one for myself because none of the jobs I go on these days provide anything consistently nice. I had a Bullard full brim in chocolate brown that I liked but no one really sells those because who wants a brown hard hat that isn't a heat-resistant one.

Deck crew, scientists, etc. The ships that I was on had a zero tolerance policy for safety violations. Steel toe boots, safety glasses, life jacket, and hard hat at all times on deck. No exceptions. TBH, it was a great culture, and we did months of work with no incidents. We were given plenty of time to figure out safety procedures as things changed. sharkytm fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Nov 5, 2019 |

My wife and I got told we were being selfish by throwing out our old car seats when our kids grew out of them instead of passing them on. That's not how that poo poo works. I'm probably more paranoid about it than I need to be but if I'm throwing out old electrical devices or changing out seat belts or child seats, I cut the power cord or seat belt harness somewhere obvious and terminal. If you pull my old toaster that started sparking off a landfill, you'll need to put a new cord on it, and that poo poo is not going to be on me.

Some retailers take your old car seats and give you coupons for new ones. Still, that's good practice very obviously ruining safety equipment that should not be used anymore.

I see motorcycle helmets for sale second hand in pawn shops all the time which blows my loving mind. To be fair though, anybody who buys a second hand helmet (that's been sweated in, sneezed in etc  ) of unknown history (dropped? Who knows!) Doesn't have a brain worth saving anyway.

Forgive me if this has been proposed before, but re: 11'8"/12'4" bridge- all of these vehicles are considerably narrower than they are tall. Figure out the g's it would take to keep the heaviest of trucks and its contents undisturbed while at a 90 degree angle and set the speed limit accordingly. It's like no-one has ever played with a Hot Wheels track.

You would think tire spikes if an over height load was detected would both save the bridge from impact and reduce the cost of the damage to the truck.

One of the coolest memories of my life was getting called into an active cockpit, and a stewardess under training is a bit more savvy than a 6 year old. Putting her anywhere near the controls was stupid as hell though and I understand it, even if I don't agree. Something bad could've happened.

I would prefer using a water curtain, that I've seen a video from some tunnel. Or if cold weather would be an issue then just spray some red gas. If you still drive through that then you're just blind. Alternative could be dropping some streamers.

FuturePastNow posted:He says the crash beam is 12', though, so that should be the clearance. I think? Twelve inches. The beam itself is twelve inches tall. He measured of its top because it’s easier to hook a tape measure there and got thirteen feet eight inches. Subtract the beam’s dimensions and you get twelve feet eight inches between the road and the bottom surface of the beam.

I remember visiting Buenos Aires and it was freezing cold. We stopped at a gas station and were told we had to exit our vehicle. I didn’t know what the gently caress they were talking about since here in the US you don’t have to do that. I guess the cars run on gas (as in air gas) and if your in your car and there’s a leak you’d suffocate in your car. At least that’s what I was told.
