Are there any stories of children being sucked into those leaf vacuums?

Seems like this could potentially go very badly if there were two small divots/imperfections on that sphere that happened to line up just so...super low odds, but it would be interesting to see.

It's a sphere of (seemingly) greater hardness than the spools. It's not even in the mesh plane, there's nothing to grab. That's why it wanders back and forth. It was probably designed to make sure light materials all get thrown into the mesh plane and shredded.

This is intentional. When you have a big-rear end piece of glass to dispose of, it's much easier to just break it and clean up, even indoors. At work we had a conference room with a glass wall that we turned into offices and the glass guys just wrapped the 8' x 3' panels in plastic and moving blankets and just smashed them with hammers. These guys choice to break it in the middle of the road is pretty questionable, though.

That makes a lot of sense, Seeing as it's a small side road and this is filmed at night, maybe they just figured nobody would be using the road for the short time it would take to clean it up. If it's exterior glass, they might not have anywhere else to do it onsite.

Potato Salad posted:it's kind of looking like the bus did a really good job of getting the gently caress out of the way without crushing too much? It helps that it was a swivel bus instead of a single solid vehicle, but that's got to be a total write out on both ends. It's fortunate that the bus had no passengers and the driver was wise enough to run before the crash. A full bus hit like that...

Well, maybe not in Sweden, I don't know the economics of it there. But in the US they'll pick up engines that have completely derailed and refurbish them, a few blown out windows are nothing.

everydayfalls posted:https://i.imgur.com/8HBvWlp.mp4 I got a call for a sink shocking a homeowner, figure live wire on an improperly grounded metal pipe, right? Well, we're getting about 80VAC from sink to grounded metal appliances, we start isolating circuits, trying to find the one causing the problem, and get the house safe. Turn off every breaker, sink still hot, Pull the meter to ensure the whole house is deenergized, sink still hot. Reenergize the house, go out to the truck to smoke and brainstorm how this is possible, look at the power pole next to us, and the ivy growing up it and into the 23kV lines on top. Turns out it was conducting enough to energize the water pipe to the house. High Voltage will make things you don't think would conduct, conduct.

Still Fluxing posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmAr78FK44g That bus was on its way to the garage and I think he just ran over one of the railroad junctions there that are a bit too steep for some of the long buses with low ground clearance. Also, the railroad crossings along that road have previously had trains come without the warning lights flashing too.

everydayfalls posted:https://i.imgur.com/8HBvWlp.mp4 This reminds me of an old story I heard at work years ago. Two old ladies that lived next door to each other, both roasted in their showers by a current that managed to travel through the lights into the rebar in their shower floors and then through the wet tiles into their bodies. This article about it is worth a read, it's some final destination poo poo. https://masterelectricians.com.au/dead-but-still-live quote:Around this time, Steve McGee from Sydney Electricity arrived, and after a short briefing, we re-entered unit 49. Mr McGee would take electricity readings using a voltage detector. In the bathroom area of the unit, Mr McGee activated the voltage detector, it immediately flashed and emitted a tone. I initially asked whether his device was faulty, however after walking into the kitchen then the hallway near the front door, Mr McGee firmly indicated that the whole unit was ‘live’ and we should immediately leave. Once outside, Mr McGee informed us the only reason we had not been electrocuted was the fact we were wearing thick, rubber-soled boots and latex gloves.
