Agrinja posted:Yeah I've seen those bailers do stupid poo poo and I've always advised my coworkers to not play with that garbage, and my response to crawling into the fucker has always been "lol no". Especially when the problem is something dumb like someone forgot to put the chains down before the bailer was filled. I don't even like standing next to the wire loops you put on because I've seen them overfill those fuckers all too much and then the wire bursts. I worked at Costco for a summer and one day the entire store went silent because we heard a bang that sounded like a meteor had struck. Turned out there was too much poo poo in the baler and it was stuck, so the geniuses in back decided to chain the corner of it to a forklift fork, lift until the whole machine was tilted, and wiggle it to dislodge the contents. The sound was the door slamming on the ground, which was also the only thing that stopped the baler from falling right over and crushing the manager who was supervising.

Fallom posted:Here's how the firefighter conversation should've gone: "You didn't pay your $75 fee, so we'll stick you with a $10,000 bill to put out this fire." "Ok." A few years ago I had a driver lose a barrel of liquid latex in front of a fire dept in MA, they responded immediately and cleaned up the spill in the road, and the chief called me and said that they would make the cleanup charge go away if we provided new shovels to replace the ones that were ruined by the latex. I contact my safety dept and they insisted I told the fire chief that we would replace the shovels and gear if we could get the trashed gear in return (I don't know why, it was a really sketchy trucking company I worked for). When I told the chief that they wanted the old equipment in return he immediately said "gently caress you, if you don't want to work with me we're charging you $25K for an emergency response and cleanup" and hung up. The next morning I called the FD back to see if I could resolve the situation, asking for the chief, another guy gets on the line and says "Chief had a heart attack yesterday, he'll be out for a few months." Without missing a beat I tell the guy that the chief wanted me to call to arrange shipment of the new equipment that we were going to send to them to thank them for their help cleaning up the spill. We delivered the new gear and never got charged.

It didn't actually pin his knees to the wall, only his thighs by the look of it. Also, the bumper is made of collapsible plastic, he's fine.

I'm pretty sure it looks worse than it actually is. I can't quite tell if he shatters the window with his chin or if it hits the window frames or whatever - that looks like one of the worst things in the GIF to my eye.

Bah, 1½ inches is enough if you're on skis or snow shoes, and 24" carries a 45 ton tank! This according to FM 31-71 "Northern Operations".

Tanks are designed from their initial WW1 concept to have low pressure under the treads, hence being able to go over mud where wheeled vehicles can't. Also how could you not trust a chart that uses Godzilla?

In fact i don't think the car really impacted the guy at all, if you focus on the wheels you can see they lock up as the breaks go on

quote:As Jones later recalled, things didn’t go well at first: “As soon as the engine was started, the plane began to vibrate; and by the time the throttle was halfway open, some of the cowling had been completely vibrated off the plane, and the front of the engine had a definite drooping appearance.” quote:“As compared to the two-bladed propeller, it only kills half as many bugs,” Kropp said. “So, if your objective is to kill bugs, it’s a failure.”

DandyLion posted:Step one on the transition to jet engines. It’s actually step one on the transition to constant‐speed propellers. This thing is able to change pitch to “bite” the air more or less aggressively. Because it has one blade, it can twist along the long axis of the blade to change pitch. All it needs is a pivot at the hub. The harder the blade smacks the air, the more it twists. Making a shallower angle means it smacks less air on each pass. Centrifugal action applies the restoring force. It’s a self‐regulating system. Multibladed propellers have to have complicated mechanisms to twist (and secure) each blade separately, using oil pressure or electric power. It didn’t actually work that well in practice, but it was a clever idea. Information here Platystemon fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jan 21, 2020 |
