Marcade posted:A similar thing happened in my home town about 15 years ago where someone forced (since it ordinarily wouldn't connect) an oxygen line onto the N20 line. The patient's O2 stat kept dropping so they were upping the feed thinking they were giving her O2. She died. To my knowledge they no longer have N20 lines at that hospital, they just bring in a handcart with N20 as needed. After Texas eliminated their state plumbing regulator, we had some fun discussions in the crappy construction thread about how this would increase incidences of medical gas fuckups. And someone pulled out a story from Australia about a patient where they hooked up gas to his catheter by mistake and slowly exploded his bladder.

The early models could be defeated by taping down one of the buttons and just pressing the other one to operate it, but the final version needed both buttons to be released at the same time before you could use the machine again.

When combined with Irish and Welsh, almost 80% of islanders are of some Celtic stock, albeit most families have resided in PEI for at least two centuries. Few places outside Europe can claim such a homogenous Celtic ethnic background. The only other jurisdiction in North America with such a high percentage of British Isles heritage is Newfoundland. snugglz fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Nov 7, 2019 |

Still in PEI. You could go to a Cčilidh (Irish musical party with dancing) literally every day of the week if you cared to. Personally my family has been here for many generations and has Scottish roots.

Jamming a screwdriver into a sensor is jumping through a pretty big hoop to defeat the interlock tho. Kinda like how if you were wanting to get clever about finding a way to gently caress with that modern 'push two buttons and then release to cycle the machine' interlocks you could just rig up a broom handle with some checkers pieces or something taped to it mounted to the buttons so you could make a push bar that'd hit and release both. Original idea do not steal also do not tell your idiot coworkers about this one simple trick to turn modern industrial machines back into the good ol Limbcutter 2000.

Both interpretations of this are pretty funny in a pretty dark way First, the employer is sending people to their maintenance guy instead of a trained therapist or something. Second, the maintenance guy is actually a trained therapist but because the world is hosed up he's "maintenance Dan" at some place of work.

Grundulum posted:If I recall correctly, you are allowed up to three inches of difference. So four inches is outside the regs after all. "The actual clearance should be displayed on the Low Clearance sign to the nearest 1 inch not exceeding the actual clearance. However, in areas that experience changes in temperature causing frost action, a reduction, not exceeding 3 inches, should be used for this condition." - Section 2C.27 I don't know how often it freezes down there, but probably not enough to meet that criterion. It should be the actual clearance, rounded down to the nearest inch. However, it's worth pointing out that this is SHOULD, not SHALL, and therefore the engineer can do otherwise if he has good reason to. It is certainly not best practice as it may embolden a driver in a 12'-6" truck who decides to try his luck with the next 12'-4" bridge he finds.

Worker Dies in Chemical Incident at Buffalo Wild Wings. 8 other workers and 2 customers went to the hospital. quote:Interim Burlington Fire Chief Michael Patterson said Super 8, a common sanitation product, was being used to clean the floor when people inside the restaurant became sick. Fire crews responded around 5:30 p.m. to find a male worker who was nauseous after inhaling fumes from the cleaning agent. He was taken in serious condition to Leahy Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. 8.2% Sodium Hyperchlorite posted:Auto-Chlor System Super 8 is EPA registered for use on food contact surfaces as a sanitizer without a rinse. Super 8 is used to sanitize dishware, flatware, glassware, utensils, pots, pans, and other food contact surfaces. Super 8 can be used to sanitize in low temperature warewashing, three compartment sinks and for hard non-porus food contact surfaces sanitizing in foodservice environment.
