He wasn't ready though. Some college punk punched him before he achieved proper form.

Hey jet fuel might not be able to melt steel beams but it may very well be able to pierce them.

I love clips of things going wrong with 'unsecured loads'. Then remembering that phrase reminds me of a random all-time post exchange (I think it was in PYF?) about some gross dude that was tooling around on a motorcycle with a realdoll on the seat behind him potentially getting cited for same. It always makes me snicker.

One of the places I worked had an entire building with a high bay warehouse. Anyone who worked in that building had to take a course on how quickly forklifts don't stop and why you need to not get mauled by them.

I've worked in two places that had a high bay warehouse. One of them had a strict no pedestrians policy, the other one was run completely by robots.

It's a navy ship, so presumably it's sitting in the water. Why don't they just drill holes in it and sink it? That would put the fire out and then they could just salvage it and refloat it. Boom, problem solved!

The chainsaw had stopped spinning because the guy wasn't holding down the trigger, it was just stuck in the tree branch.

Makes sense. I thought it was still cutting because the branch still fell off.

Are there situations where static electricity will behave and feel like AC? Went and took a reading between two pieces of equipment and it was showing 40v on the multimeter, if you touch between the two it feels like AC at 60hz, my boss insists it's just static electricity and we'll just put in a grounding strap, I don't think he's even looked at it.

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
lol no your boss is going to get you killed.


the static electricity snaps that you feel are like 10,000-20,000 volts and nanoamps of current. the discharge is so fast that most multimeters won't even register it. if you're reading any continuous voltage it is absolutely not just static.

whatever part of the machine you're probing is live and the only reason it's not the full 120/240v is because the connection is bad so it's behaving like a voltage divider.
