In addition to the obvious horseplay with exposed conductors at mains voltage, the building ought to have a RCD that senses that bullshit and cuts the power.

There was a nice place when I was in my 20s that was full service. Used to make out with the chick that ran out to pump fuel. She also worked at the bakery so I'd turn up at 2am for some pie when drunk. NONE OF THIS IS A JOKE POST.

I kinda sorta was OSHA-ing, I had my jacket and goggles etc on but still blew myself up a bit with metallic sodium this year. My fiance heard the BOOM, came running, and blasted me in the face with our dry chem extinguisher, after I'd torn my goggles off. Honestly it wasn't that bad after washing it off.

Memento posted:I thought this was cool, I've never considered the depth of the water to be a contributing factor to sinking ships on the Great Lakes The Great Lakes, especially Superior, Huron, and Michigan, are more like inland seas than lakes. Most people when they think of a lake, they think of "I can see shore at all times. With the Great Lakes, you can't (Erie and Ontario are just over 50 miles at their widest, meaning if you're in the middle of that point, you still technically can see shore, but I digress). People underestimate them and the weather that can impact them. Rogue waves can happen, and it's believed that it was one of the factors that sunk the Edmund Fitzgerald. Also fun facts: Huron and Michigan are technically one lake. They're at the same elevation, and water flows between the two all the time.

Check the load lines in the morning, think your draft is less than the expected depth, drive your ship straight into the bottom. Good job everybody.

Lake Winnipeg is huge and also super shallow which leads to pretty big and frequent waves and bigger boats being dribbled across the lake bed is apparently a way more frequent occurrence than you'd think. Probably why there aren't really any shipwrecks on the lake. Sink and your boat's just gonna get pulverized until there's nothing left but a bunch of crap spread across the bottom.

I was going to say that this effect can also be used to get under bridges that your ship otherwise couldn't pass. The linked article explains this in the last paragraph. In the case of Oasis, they had telescoping funnels so that when funnels retracted and the ship at flank speed, they had 60 centimeters of clearance from the Belt bridge.

I called poison control after discharging a fire extinguisher into the wind [because I'm a genius]. For the dry powder type I had used at least, they advised me that since I could talk I was probably ok. Re fuel pumping: I stick the probe in just barely so I can totally top off the tank and I tie the handle down with a zip tie. When I'm ready I hop out of my car, put out my cigarette, and cut the zip tie in one swift motion

I'm looking for a GIF or video and this is the best place to ask. Near as I can remember, it's of three large power conduits that are wrapped in a helix, and because of... something to do with the current running through them, I want to say it has something to do with three-phase power, the cables are actually physically flexing around one another. Am I imagining things or is this out there? Can anyone explain why that happens?

That's a fuckload of production!

Looks like a house, just next to a business of some kind. Going by the tile roof and palm trees, guessing SoCal. Now why they did it in that specific spot and put plastic down but didn't bother protecting the house from the poo poo....???

Could it have been cables running to the electrodes of an arc furnace? Current flowing through a wire will cause a magnetic field to spin around it (with the inverse being true, too). Since these things suck such massive amounts of current, the cables get strong enough magnetic fields that they'll push and pull on each other. High tension wires for distribution lines would do the same thing, but the cables are usually spread far enough apart on the towers that their magnetic fields don't affect each other much. Scroll to about 1:30 and you can see the cables dancing. ((sound warning)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmXzNMoea5E
