Nocheez posted:bad flight stuff The worst I ever saw was at 0545 in the Perth Airport, there was two dudes holding up a barely-conscious dude to try and get him on his flight to his mining job in Western Australia. They were saying things like "the flight's nearly an hour and a half, he can sleep the whole way there, once he gets into camp we'll tell them he got sick on the plane and has to stay in his room all day. Mate if he loses out on this week's pay his wife's gunna kill him". I was going to my flight so I didn't see the aftermath but I'm pretty sure if you're so drunk/hungover you can't stand under your own power, you probably don't get to get on a flight. I'd be worried he was going to piss himself, or worse.

Had a 6am flight so I could be back at work in Seattle by 9am, and of course the last night we were in Vegas we spent the entire time doing shots on a vendor's expense account. I got dropped off at the airport needing to use my roller bag to stand, so drunk I had double vision, and was still feeling it 3 hours later when I landed. Pretty sure I smelled godawful at work, and I know I didn't get anything done. Still not as bad as when I puked all over the entrance to a client's bathroom due to a combination of too many time zones and too much lovely Spanish beer. I cleaned it up as best as I could, but all day you could smell the puke curdling in the hot office. If they didn't keep the thermostat sent to 30c in that office it wouldn't have been so bad, but instead every time you walked into the lobby where the bathrooms were you were hit with a stench wall. The crazy thing is they still let me come back 2 months later for the next batch of work.

My favourite part about that plutonium site is that they never designed the tanks to be actually emptyable, resulting in it removable fractions of plutonium nitrate in every pump, tank and is pipe on site. I may be insane but it seems first thing you’d want to do when designing nuclear pipe work is making sure it’s possible to remotely drain everything.

Leaving a bit in a tank isn't a huge operational problem, the residual just gets mixed every time you refill it. All the pipes not being resistant to the chemicals used to dissolve the plutonium is a loving  though.

Oh, Jesus, that reminds me of a story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IqWal_EmBg This is a pilot who lost pressure in his cabin and went hypoxic without realizing it. His voice is super hosed up and he's saying all kinds of crazy poo poo like "unable to control altitude, unable to control heading, unable to control airspeed, otherwise everything A-ok." ATC started trying to figure out what the gently caress was going on, eventually rumbled it, and was trying to talk this guy into reducing altitude while his brain was turning into pudding. It's one of the most terrifying things I've listened to. If you're worried about listening to a guy die, he makes it. ATC gets him down to a safe altitude and his brain starts firing on all cylinders again almost instantly. But holy poo poo was it a near thing.

Dan Bass passed out at altitude due to a cracked muffler. The trim of his plane was such that as the fuel drained, it went into a relatively gentle descent. This happened in Minnesota in the winter, so the plane comes to rest in a snowy field. The crash shattered the windscreen. Once he got some fresh air through his lungs, he woke up and stumbled over to a farmhouse.

Would I be correct in assuming that altitude makes you more susceptible to passing out from CO poisoning, so that you pass out from it quicker than you would at sea level, but are able to wake up if brought to a lower altitude?

GotLag posted:Would I be correct in assuming that altitude makes you more susceptible to passing out from CO poisoning, so that you pass out from it quicker than you would at sea level, but are able to wake up if brought to a lower altitude? You are correct. There are actually four different kinds of hypoxia: - hypoxic hypoxia, where the air you're breathing doesn't have a high enough concentration/partial pressure of oxygen - hypemic hypoxia, where your blood cells can't bind the oxygen properly no matter how much you breathe - stagnant hypoxia, where your blood isn't moving around your body properly and carrying the oxygen where it needs to be - histotoxic hypoxia, where the other cells of your body are poisoned and can't use the oxygen that is being delivered and in some situations they can be combined and exacerbate each other. At altitude you suffer from hypoxic hypoxia because the air is thin. When you breathe carbon monoxide, it binds to your hemoglobin and can't be released, preventing your blood from absorbing oxygen and giving you hypemic hypoxia. The two combined are especially deadly. Moving to fresh air/descending may help if it's not too late, but if you've breathed enough CO you can't be saved even if you start breathing pure oxygen. It takes literally days for your blood to completely recover after a CO exposure. Stagnant hypoxia is also a factor in aircraft, whether it's just from poor circulation and sitting in a chair for hours, or from G-loading in maneuvering flight. G-loc is a sort of extreme acute stagnant hypoxia. And finally there are a number of poisons that cause histotoxic hypoxia, damaging your body's ability to use the available oxygen, but the most common is just plain old ethanol, which is why pilots are legally forbidden from flying for 8 hours after any alcoholic drink regardless of their BAC level.

I started an engineering degree this year and have learnt so goddamn much from reading this thread, I love it. Edit for content: I used to (pre-covid) work as a steadicam operator, which is all running around film sets while bolted in to a heavy, expensive camera harness, and if I get time and people want I’ll write up some stories about the stupid poo poo me and others like me were expected to do as part of a normal day’s work by producers who haven’t heard of risk assessments. occluded fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Dec 18, 2020 |

Even "just" creating a short with a fused connection that has a slightly higher rating than the breaker still seems super unsafe Then hire a licensed electrician to test the breakers. Or, keep using hope that if there is an overload your breakers open and don't get toasty warm and start burning your place down from the inside of the walls.
