Not sure if this channel has been shared before (maybe I found it here, maybe in AI). Usually the rescues are not too OSHA just a lot of people stuck in the sand at a lake. However in this one they put a girl in the car about to roll down the mountain and just tell her to buckle up, which she doesn't do. Eventually they realize it's not safe and take her out. Then they put her back in a few minutes later when they realize they need someone in the car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zee2Fz_yX_Q

My mother smoked while she was pregnant with me, which probably stunted my growth as an adult. I ended up 6'1", but maybe I was supposed to be some Kevin Nash-sized monster. Which, I guess would actually a bad thing, because my knees and back are already bad enough.

Nocheez posted:I remember my brother teaching me that and basically having the same response. He had seen one come off while near a guy on the highway and he was able to stop it safely. Truckfucklery story time, about when I almost got fired and instead caused a company wide changing of the rules. I drive for a Contracted Service Provider for FedEx Ground as part of a team operation. We pull sets of double pup trailers, which require a dolly between the trailers to connect A to B. When moving the dolly around the terminal it is connected to a pintle hook and chained to the back of the truck frame. 6 or so years ago my CSP was buying a brand new truck and getting it kitted out of FXG service. For the loops to hold the chains he wanted hefty 3/4 inch loops connected to the frame with 1/2 inch bolts and all welded together, and for the pintle hook to have a cotter pin like thing to keep the hook closed when pulling a dolly. FXG said no. They went back and forth for two weeks and FXG put their foot down so the new truck had 1/2 inch loops and 1/4 inch bolts and no welding and no pin. 2 weeks after that, when driving the dolly around the terminal yard, the dolly bounced enough to force the pintle hook open and started bouncing around behind me. I hit the brakes and the dolly basically jumped over the back bumper and the front resting foot thing went between the dual drive tires on the right side, almost puncturing the tire. The chains were connected, and when the dolly bounced up the chains pulled on the loops and sheared the bolts off, taking the loops with them. At first FXG wanted to fire me for a preventable accident involving FXG property (they own the dolly). My CSP fought back, noting that he wanted a setup that would not have had the bolts shear off and have a pin to prevent the dolly from bouncing out and that FXG fought him over that and this proves that he was right. Now FXG tractors are allowed and encouraged to have the hefty loops and bolts and welds and pins and everything else and I still have my job.

This looks like a Brenderup trailer. The black rubber boot ("4") covers a section of the hitch that slides a limited distance. In lieu of electric brakes, this is used to actuate wheel brakes on the trailer. I.e., the towing vehicle brakes, the trailer is pushed instead of normally being pulled, the boot segment compresses, and trailer brakes are applied mostly proportionately via levers. I've never seen that in my limited experience here, but is that a common alternative to electric brakes in the US?

Mr. Nice! posted:Note that the two chains are supposed to be hooked to the towing vehicle in an X fashion under the trailer tongue. If they're running parallel and the hitch pops off the ball, that's gonna likely hit the ground and bad things will happen. If the chains are in an X, the tongue will get caught before slamming the ground, but you gotta slow gently because unless the trailer has brakes it's not going to stop until it bumps into the back of the slowing towing vehicle. Supposed to be hooked in an X fashion? Oh yeah, of course, who uh, who doesn't know that? heh, yeah. *shiftily looks around*

Most of the versions of Ruby Red Grapefruits people eat are a mutation that was caused by loving around with radiation and food. Half of Californa's rice production is from Calrose 76 which is a mutation caused by radiation. The barley you find in a lot of European beers is a product of atomic gardening.

Yes, and this is an understatement. Basically all food improvements prior to GMO involve battering seeds with as much radiation as they'll take without dying in the hope they'll produce a useful mutation (99.99% don't). This is also why anti-GMO "they messin' with God's design!" arguments are so naive; instead of using GMO tech to surgically replace a single tiny part of the DNA to achieve the desired effect, the food industry's alternative was (and is) to just bathe it in radiation and hope for the best.

chitoryu12 posted:Look up what the very first wild bananas are like if you think anything about modern fruits and vegetables are "natural." It is believed that humans came across naturally seedless bananas and propagated them. All that’s necessary to get a seedless banana is one instance of hybridisation, after which progress greatly slows because sexual reproduction ceases and only mutations can move things along. The bananas we eat today aren’t that different from the ones eaten several thousand years ago. Maize is a better example. We bred the poo poo out of it.

"Food irradiation is permitted by over 60 countries, with about 500,000 metric tons of food annually processed worldwide." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_irradiation "In fact, you’re probably already eating irradiated products. About a third of dried herbs and spices are irradiated to prevent salmonella, and imported fruits like mangoes and papayas are sometimes zapped to kill invasive insects. The technique is also used to sterilize medical equipment like gloves, bandages, and syringes, as well as personal-care products like contact lens solution and baby bottle nipples." https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/08/food-irradiation/ It's not all gamma radiation though
