I inspect a lot of oil well stuff and they always use coffee cups and poo poo to capture cement test batches.

other responses to that tweet call it a "slump test" http://www.concrete.org.uk/fingertips-document.asp?id=559#:~:text=The%20slump%20test%20is%20a,%2D2%2C%20Testing%20fresh%20concrete.

A slump test isn’t cured. You take a sample of concrete and pour it into a specified container, and then remove the container. Gravity takes over and the pile of concrete slumps, by an amount based on how wet the mix is.

Those are very clearly the top half of a coffee cup, not the little half-height ice cream cups that the Post thinks they are. If you were trying to disguise concrete as ice cream, why wouldn't you pour it into an ice cream cup, or use the much more logical bottom half of a coffee cup so the concrete doesn't fuse to whatever you are pouring it on?. It's exactly the test that is being described in the reply tweets Idiots

I understand if there is some sort of cultural cringe or something, but I looked it up on YouTube and these people seem to dance alright? I mean they seem to have some sort of rhythm going at least, and the music is cool https://youtu.be/pBfoXk34oQ8 (Obviously ignore the intro advert)

Helen Highwater posted:Like the South African asbestos miners (some of whom were literal children) in the 1960s and 70s who were all dying of mesothelioma in the 1980s and 90s. The company just kept all of their compensation claims in an endless circle of appeals and countersuits in UK courts until they were all dead. Don't have to pay workers comp to dead guys. Especially if those dead guys were poor, black South Africans. This, but WR Grace and poor Americans in Libby, Montana.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:as a former US based amusement park ride operator i had to undergo more rigorous training and drug testing than the cops getting overtime for jacking off in the parking lot. That's probably true for big name parks but when I was teenager working at a smaller one training was basically "here's what the levers do, if you get caught with a rock jammed in the dead man's switch you'll get fired".

Aquatic helicopter got me thinking of the G20 gyroplane concept. A 1930s French submarine-launched aircraft. One of the gunners would stand on top of the bomb bay in a cupola located inside the rotor shaft.

Cartoon Man posted:https://i.imgur.com/aJl4fzA.gifv I've actually split a rock like this! It's called wedge and feathers - drill a hole in your rock, insert your feathers, stick the wedge in between the feathers and get a-smacking. Rock drilling is fun and fairly easy (especially so if you have an actual powered drill), the actual smacking of the wedges is a loving work out. You have to read the rock right to get it split easily (and not flake into a million pieces which bad if you're trying to get a nice clean split).
