First someone puts trash across the road, and then a train comes out of no where. Unbelievable.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Oh my god is that the barrel of the gun split open like after bugs foils Elmer Fudd by sticking his finger in the barrel? It definitely looks that way. I'm guessing it's a cheapo gun and he put the barrel in the water. Pressure built up in the barrel, water didn't want to get out of the way, so the barrel split open.

Wrr posted:I'd bet money on sidewalks having too big a lip for the scooter to get up onto. Doesn't seem like they'd be able to really handle much of anything IME, that is correct. I work wheelchair/stretcher transport and talk to many people with limited mobility. The little three-wheeled dealies are not up to poo poo power-wise and they are also very unstable. Flat land/indoor use is fine but they struggle with uneven or broken surfaces. Once you get up to bigger chairs with four or six wheels (leading castors, drive wheels, trailing castors) they have big enough tires and more than enough power to get through most things a human could shuffle over. The big chairs are also something on the order of 300lbs., so in use you have to make choices; if it's too big or heavy to make it over something, you might make it around an obstacle, but if it gets stuck you will be very stuck. The following is a story told to me by a man born with severe deformities who must be in a powered wheelchair to perform basic tasks. He is a wonderful guy, full of curiosity, kindness, and wit: Being a vulnerable person, he was evacuated to a government shelter before a hurricane. After settling in, he decided to take a little walk around the neighborhood. Killing time before the storm, as you do. Well, there was a strip of grass between the end of their parking lot and the sidewalk. "I can make that, it's only a yard or so." He made it a foot before sinking into wet sand hiding under the grass. He looks around and notices where he is: behind a building with no windows, sheltered from the road. Oops. Upon further inspection of the situation, there is a National Guard depot right next door. Think a big truck park behind fences, no reason to be there except when pulling a vehicle out or doing maintenance (luckily one of those things happens before a storm). After an half-hour of panic, he manages to flag down a few soldiers. Dude said six of them tried lifting the thing out of the mire. It did not work, sunk down to the axles. Two of them had to carry him bodily into the building while the rest got a tele-handler to yank his chair out. He is much more careful about where he rides now, as there isn't always a way out.

Pressure built up in the barrel, water didn't want to get out of the way, so the barrel split open. This is exactly what happened, though it's not necessarily that the gun is cheap; barrel obstructions are super dangerous. When I hunt I have a little plastic cover that I slip over the muzzle so I don't accidentally cartoon my rifle by getting some snow or mud in there.

In case anyone wants to know why we have crane accidents.   Tipped cranes are impossible, guys! They engineered all the safety in!

Pressure built up in the barrel, water didn't want to get out of the way, so the barrel split open. Doesn't need to be a cheapo gun at all, just put a few inches of the tip into the water and anything will blow up like that. The trick to shooting a gun underwater is to make sure the barrel is completely filled with water so there's no interface for the pressure to build up insanely high all at once.

chitoryu12 posted:If you want an OSHA-laden show to watch, try Canada's Worst Handyman. It's a show where they take people who are extremely bad at DIY and home repairs (either because they're scared to learn how to be self-sufficient or they think they're amazing but are actually incompetent and dangerous) and have them try to complete basic home renovation and repair challenges as you marvel at how bad they are. I have a friend like those guys. He's extremely competent in many things but when it comes to repairing or building stuff my cat can do a better job. He refuses to even use a knife to open packages. I'll hand him a box cutter and he'll pull his keys out, or use a dull pair of scissors. Then he hurts himself and damages the contents of the package. He'll use a screw gun as a hammer and a hammer as a paint brush. It makes no sense. I try to help him. I've worked on projects with him before and I make him my gofer. He's seen me do work. I've shown him how plumbing works. I've shown him electrical circuits. I've shown him how to run a saw. I've shown him drywall repair. He's helped me do all these things yet he still keeps using his keys to open boxes. I bought him a box cutter to use and he still uses his keys, hurts his hand, and damages the contents. Every, single, time. Corb Lund to the rescue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwGrC0KicSo

I'll use my keys to open boxes, but I just attack the thin, taut strip of tape joining the top flaps together. What does he do, saw his way in from the side?

My dad is losing it physically and mentally (he kept telling me to turn the screws left to remove them all week as I was helping around the house like I hadn't just removed a dozen other screws) and he'd still do a job a million times better than they would. I'm kinda mad I watched all of the episodes on YouTube without him so he could laugh at them. Seemed to me that everyone on the show would just give up at the first complication and just (literally) attack the problem out of anger instead of taking a breather. Yeah, it took me like five hours to swap out a water heater yesterday, but I planned out each step and it went mostly without a hitch. I've only watched one get installed before and that was about fifteen years back.

"It'll wiggle just a little but it aint quite stripped" is a line that comes to me waaaay too often in my normal day.

Thanks for the recommendation. This seems like some of the most victimless reality TV and is educational

I'm considering getting OSHA 30 General certification to add some more cards to my stack of certs. What kind of weight does OSHA 30 General carry? Is $190 for online certification going to pay itself off? Some small content: The same safety guy who told me to put a regular zip tie on a fire extinguisher safety pin recently told me that I didn't need any PPE to remove a bird's nest because bird nests are "all natural" EvenWorseOpinions fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Jun 27, 2020 |
